- 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.

Survivor: Caramoan boxscores - Episode 14
"Last Push"
Filmed: June 26-28, 2012 | Aired: Sunday, May 12, 2013
- Medevac: Immediately after the preceding Tribal Council in which Brenda was voted out, Erik is medically removed from the game, after requiring an IV.
- Reward challenge: "Teeter Tower" - Cochran eventually wins, after everyone drops their stack at least once. Cochran receives an advantage for the F4 immunity challenge.
- Immunity challenge: "Vertically Challenged" - Cochran wins, after advantage doesn't seem to help much..
- Voted out: Eddie, 3-1 over Dawn.
- Final tribal council and jury vote: Cochran wins, 8-0-0 over Dawn and Sherri.
Episode 14 scoring notes
Notes:
*Erik's medevac: They're treated as a unanimous vote-out by the tribe (in this case five people). So Erik gets 5 VAP, 5 TotV, 1 TCA, but nobody else gets credit for any of the above. Weird, yes. The only point is to keep the SurvAv/SurvSc points in line with what they would be without a medevac. (The artificial vote adjustments are not listed in the S26 season totals, though).
Historical notes:
- Cochran's jury sweep and two challenge wins vaulted him to a 15.70 SurvAv score, good for fourth place all-time. (Fifth place all-time, just below Kim Spradlin, by SurvSc, which I have yet to update.)
- Meanwhile, Eddie's 1.26 SurvAv, aided by his record-setting Tribal Council futility (nine failed attempts to vote someone out in 11 appearances), ranks as the lowest all-time of any person who reached the final eight.
Vote count
- Eddie received 3 votes, from Cochran, Dawn, and Sherri (voted out, 3-1).
- Dawn received 1 vote, from Eddie.
