SurvivorAU 2 (2017) boxscores - Episodes 24-25

Filmed: June 25-27, 2017 | Aired: October 8-9, 2017

Ep. 24 Reward challenge: (Peg wall) - Predictably ends up in a Jericho vs. Peter face-off; Jericho wins the chance to remove a juror.
Ep. 24 non-jury prize: Jericho questions Jarrad, Anneliese, Tessa, then removes Tessa.

Ep. 25 non-challenge: Loved ones show up, go back to camp, help mess up everyone's games.
Ep. 25 Immunity challenge: (Canoe, ropes, puzzle) - Jericho takes a huge lead, Tara catches up on the monkey paw throw, then both fade on the puzzle. Peter wins.
Ep. 25 voted out: Michelle ties Jericho, 2-2, after Tara flips. Jericho handily beats Michelle at fire-making, so Michelle is out. Thanks for the advice, Sam! (Michelle's sister)

Episodes 24-25 scoring notes

Notes:

- A loved ones visit with no associated challenge? Now we see where Winners at War got its ideas from.

- We combined the two episodes here because the only scoreable event in Ep24 was the RC for the juror-removal advantage. Together, they clock in as a rather standard 3-day episode with an RC, IC, and Tribal boot.

- We gave Michelle credit for second place in the IC because she had significant progress on the puzzle. Jericho and Tara officially tied for 3rd, though.

Vote count:

- Michelle received 2 votes, from Jericho and Tara (voted out, 2-2).

- Jericho received 2 votes, from Michelle and Peter.

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.
- Plc: Placement in an individual challenge.
- % Fin: Percent finish in an individual challenge. Finishing first every time nets you 100%, finishing last is (1/number of competitors). Sitting out earns a zero.
- MPF: Mean Percent Finish. Average of % finishes in individual challenges. Median is around 55%.
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.
