- 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.

Filmed: May 20-22, 2013 | Aired: September 18, 2013
- Morning 1 eliminees: Laura B. is voted out Tadhana, 6-2-1-1 over Marissa, Katie, and Brad.

So Rupert and Candice head to Redemption Island, while Laura B. joins Galang.
- Ep. 1 Reward/Immunity challenge: "Blue Lagoon Bustle" - Galang's puzzle trio blows away Tadhana, despite a huge Tadhana lead on the rowing leg.
- Voted out: Marissa, 8-1 over Katie.
Episode 1 scoring notes
Notes:
*The Morning 1 vote - We scored both tribe's initial vote-off as best as we could, as "Morning 1 Tribal Council." Tadhana's actual Tribal Council at the end of the episode is "Day 3 Tribal Council." So every contestant gets at least one TCA. One major problem with Morning 1, though: not all the votes were shown (John, Rachel & Gervase's votes were unshown). We're going to assume that, even though it wasn't shown, Probst actually looked at all the votes before they were revealed, although that's a huge assumption.
- Update (10/3): Rachel revealed in her exit interview with Gordon Holmes that she voted for Katie on Morning 1.
Also, we note that Marissa has completed the proud Peterson family tradition of not voting for the person booted (the only Tadhana to do so), scoring a zero for her two chances. Also, Rupert is the only person ever to go to Redemption Island without having been voted against.
