- 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.

- Ep.8 voted out: Desi, 4-4-1-1 over Joe (7-1 on re-vote), with Ben and Lauren picking up stray votes in the first round.
Episode 8 scoring notes
Notes:
- RC: Joe did not get credit for the win, because he did not participate. At least he got to eat.
- Tribal Council: Back in Episode 4, Devon was blocked from voting, and did not receive a TCA, even though he could have picked up a vote against. Here Lauren didn't vote, and *did* receive a vote against her, but we've reversed our original call, and now she doesn't get charged with a TCA (which is about casting votes, anyway... she'll get two TCA at a future Tribal when she uses her extra vote).
Vote count:
- Desi received 4 votes, from Ben, Devon, JP, and Ryan (voted out, 4-4-1-1; 7-1 on re-vote)
- Joe received 4 votes, from Ashley, Chrissy, Cole, and Mike.
- Ben received 1 vote, from Joe.
- Lauren received 1 vote, from Desi.
