- 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: Worlds Apart boxscores - Episode 10
"Bring the Popcorn"
Filmed: August 28-30, 2014 || Aired: April 22, 2015
- Ep10 Reward challenge: None, Auction instead. In which Dan buys the new vote-doubling advantage.
- Ep10 Immunity challenge: "Soul to Squeeze" - Mike wins easily, with 6 balls placed to Tyler's 4. Nobody else has more than 2. If Mike and Tyler had been out already, it may never have ended.
- Ep10 voted out: Jenn, 5-3-1, over Shirin and Carolyn, respectively.
Episode 10 scoring notes
Notes: Only one challenge, with one winner this week. Another vote split, ho hum. Let's look ahead: Dan's vote doubler should be fairly simple, scoring-wise: He'll just get 2 VFBs (assuming he votes someone out with both votes) and 2 TCAs when he uses it. No sweat.
Vote count:
- Jenn received 5 votes, from Will, Carolyn, Tyler, Mike, and Shirin (voted out, 5-3-1).
- Shirin received 3 votes, from Sierra, Rodney, and Dan.
- Carolyn received 1 vote, from Jenn.
