- 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.

Episode 17 scoring notes
Notes: With the exception of Luke's vote, the votes shown during John's final words matched the ones that were on-screen during the first round of voting, so it's obvious that Luke cast the stray vote for Harry. Perhaps to make the Champs sweat out the re-voting process, as payback for blindsiding David? Either way (as always), only the first round of votes count in the case of a tie.
Also: It's still early (6 challenges in), but Simon now has a pretty commanding lead in MPF. The only thing he can't do is dig up bags of puzzle pieces from the sand, apparently. If the physical challenges keep coming, he's highly likely to thwart an intended vote by winning immunity, with his main competition (Shaun and David) now out of the game. Janine might provide some resistance, but Abbey is fading into replacement-level performance, and none of Luke, Pia, or Harry seems likely to beat Simon at anything physical.
Vote count:
- John received 4 votes, from Abbey, Janine, Pia, and Simon (voted out, 4-4-1; 4-3 on revote).
- Abbey received 4 votes, from Baden, Daisy, Harry, and John.
- Harry received 1 vote, from Luke.
