62%

Tribal: VFB% percentile

37%

Tribal: rVAP percentile

25%

Performance ranks are a quick visual measure of the contestant's season vs. historical data from all prior contestants, in three basic (scorable) categories:

1. Performance in individual challenges (MPF), as a measure of "physical game";

2. Ability to vote people out consistently (VFB%, or VFB/TCA), or "strategic game"; and

3. Ability to avoid being voted against (rVAP, or TCA-VAP) - which scales better than a percentage would - for "social/strategic game."

Michael Snow - Bio
Survivor 26 logo  S26: Caramoan

From his official CBS Caramoan - Fans vs. Favorites bio page (1/11/13):

"Personal Claim to Fame: I was a founding member of the Whole World Theatre in Atlanta. The show is still running today!

Inspiration in Life: My late friend Thomas Boyd. Thomas’s humor in the face of cancer and AIDS was unforgettable. He showed me grace and strength and taught me so much about life and death.

Pet Peeves: I don’t like “crazy.” If you can’t think rationally stay away from me.

3 Words to Describe You: Determined, enthusiastic and witty.

If You Could Have 3 Things on The Island What Would They Be and Why?:1) Knitting needles and skeins of yarn. 2) Cribbage. 3) Journal

Survivor Contestant You Are Most Like: Cirie and Rob Cesternino – Even though neither of them won, they are my 2 favorites. I relate to their game of listening, charming with humor and not acting like a jerk.

Why You Think You Will Be the Sole Survivor: I possess a strong social game. I will bond with my tribe long enough to establish solid relationships, until I have to break them and vote them out. I come across as enthusiastic and easy going, but I have a focus and intensity that is only apparent when I need them. I am resilient and surprisingly firm in my decision making."
