Episode 8
SurvivorAU: 2017 Episode 8 boxscore
Filmed: May 24-25, 2017 | Aired: August 20, 2017
- Ep.8 Reward challenge: (Ball on a disc, throwing) - Asaga finally wins, gets to bathe (and shave?!) and eat.
- Ep.8 Immunity challenge: (Three gates, sled) - Asaga wins again, as Peter and Ziggy can't solve the maze.
- Ep.8 voted out: Tara slowly out, 3-3-2; 5-1 on revote. Then Anneliese out, 3-3-1; 5-0 ... except they're not out after all, they're just temporarily exiled for the night before being sent to Asaga. Bravo.
Episode 8 scoring notes
- The vote that sort of wasn't: Ugh, what a mess. Anneliese told Nick Iadanza at RHAP that her initial vote-"out" here was also a tie, and that she, Jarrad, and Pete all voted for Locky (and three other people thus voted for her, presumably everyone else but Locky). Something had to be cut for time, which probably seemed fine, since they are still in the game. But we're counting all the (first-round) votes in the Tara and Anneliese non-eliminations as real votes, since nobody was told they weren't voting people out of the game, at least not before the votes were cast. Voter intent and all that.
Vote count: First vote
- Tara received 3 votes, from Jarrad, Tessa, and Ziggy (voted out, 3-3-2; 5-1 on revote).
- AK received 3 votes, from Anneliese, Locky, and Tara.
- Locky received 2 votes, from AK and Peter.
Revote (not counted for VFB):
- Tara received 5 votes, from Anneliese, Jarrad, Peter, Tessa, and Ziggy.
- AK received 1 vote, from Locky.
Vote count: Second vote
- Anneliese received 3 votes, from AK, Tessa, and Ziggy (voted out, 3-3-1; 5-0 on revote).
- Locky received 3 votes, from Anneliese, Jarrad, and Peter.
- AK received 1 vote, from Locky.
Revote (not counted for VFB):
- Anneliese received 5 votes, from AK, Jarrad, Peter, Tessa, and Ziggy.

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.
- 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.
