Ozzy wins, re-enters the game
Ozzy wins immunity
Rick voted out, joins jury
  • Redemption Island duel: "Get A Grip" - Ozzy amazingly outlasts Brandon, doing the exact same challenge in which he outlasted 9 other people in Cook Islands. Who woulda thunk it? Ozzy re-enters the game, and then there were five (again).
  • Second Final Five Immunity Challenge: "Teeter Tower" - Unable to get some decent help around here, Sophie fails to outbuild Ozzy.
  • Second Final Five Voted out: Rick, 3-2 over Sophie.

 

Sophie wins final IC
Ozzy voted out thrice, 3-1
Sophie wins jury vote, 6-3-0
  • Final Four Immunity Challenge: "Lei of the Land" - Ozzy gets a redux of the Tocantins F4 IC, but chokes on the final puzzle leg, losing to a resurgent Sophie.
  • Final Four Voted out: Ozzy, 3-1 over Albert.
  • Jury vote: Sophie wins! 6-3-0 over Coach and Albert.
  • Reunion show: Ozzy! Coach! Russell! Cochran. Sophie. And the rest. Did we mention Ozzy? Russell? We'd better do it again, just in case. Oh well, on to S24.
Episode 14 scoring notes
  • Ozzy was voted out three times in a single season, a new record, tying Phillip Sheppard for the most votes against (17) in a single season, while he was at it. He did, however, also go unbeaten in seven straight duels (including the Hero challenge in Ep.1), and re-entered the game twice.
(Second) Final 5 vote count:
  • Rick received 3 votes, from Sophie, Coach, and Albert (voted out, 3-2).
  • Sophie received 2 votes, from Ozzy and Rick.
Final 4 vote count:
  • Ozzy received 3 votes, from Sophie, Coach, and Albert (voted out, 3-1).
  • Albert received 1 vote, from Ozzy.
Jury vote count:
  • Sophie received 6 votes, from Ozzy, Brandon, Whitney, Dawn, Keith, and Jim (winner, 6-3-0).
  • Coach received 3 votes, from Rick, Edna, and Cochran.
  • Albert received 0 votes, joining the likes of Stephen Fishbach and Sugar Kiper in the Zero Votes Club.

Glossary of terms
  • Challenge stats
    • ChW: Challenge Wins. For tribal challenges, a contestant earns a fraction of 1 win, depending on if they participated (no points for sitting out). So in a five-person tribe's win, each participant gets (1/5) of a point, or 0.2 points. Duels (or individual RCs as in Ep1) at Redemption Island count as half a challenge (and half a win). Individual challenge wins count as a full point.
    • ChA: Challenge Appearances. Used to calculate ChW%. Fractional for tribal challenges (same as ChW), except sit-outs get charged for an appearance, because they could have participated.
    • ChW%: Challenge Win%. Simply, ChW% = ChW / ChA.
    • SO: The number of times a contestant sat out of a challenge.
  • Tribal Council stats
    • VFB: Votes For Bootee. The number of times the contestant has voted for the person who was ultimately voted out. Applies only to initial votes (no points for revotes in case of a tie). Special case: In a final three TC, where only one vote is cast (by the F3 IC winner), only that vote counts.
    • VAP: Votes Against the Player. The total number of tribal council votes cast against the contestant. Again, only initial votes count (no penalty for revotes), and here a hidden immunity idol (if played) erases the votes. In the special case of a final three tribal council above, only the F3 bootee receives a vote against.
    • TotV: Total votes cast during the tribal councils the player has attended (again, only initial votes count). Used to adjust for different vote totals as tribes shrink.
    • TCA: Tribal council appearances. The number of times a contestant has attended tribal council (at which they voted).
    • TC%: Tribal Council percent. Attempts to reward voting for the bootee (which players controlling the vote almost always do), while punishing receiving votes yourself. The formula is: TC% = [VFB - (VAP/TotV)] / TCA.
    • wTCR: weighted Tribal Council Ratio. Very similar in intent to TC%, but calculated as a ratio of VFB to VAP, while also scaling to a uniform number of TC appearances. The formula is as follows: wTCR =2* [VFB / (4+VAP)] x (14/TCA). I originally tried (1+VAP) to avoid dividing by zero, but this overly rewarded getting zero votes against relative to just one vote against, which seemed silly. (4+VAP) scaled that effect back comfortably. 14 was used as the scaling factor for TC appearances because there are usually 14 episodes, then a final scaling factor of 2 to bring maximal scores up to roughly even with ChW and JV% high scores.
  • Jury stats
    • JVF: Number of jury votes for the contestant to win. Maximum nine (Earl Cole, Fiji), theoretically.
    • TotJ: Total number of jurors. Necessary to not punish unanimous 7-juror winners (JT Thomas, Tocantins).
    • JV%: The percent of total jury votes cast for the contestant, or Jur% = JVF/ TotJ. This number is used, raw, in SurvSc, and is scaled in SurvAv (multiplied by six) to make it similar in size to ChW and wTCR.
  • Overall scores
    • Survival Score (SurvSc). It's simply the sum of Challenge Win% (ChW%) + Tribal Council% (TC%) + Jury Vote%, for a maximum possible score of 2 (3 after the finale).
    • Survival Average (SurvAv). It's a simple sum of fractional Challenge Wins (ChW), weighted TC Ratio (wTCR), and (eventually) a weighted Jury%. The latter two max out at six points total, for a theoretical maximum score of around 18 or so.
