![Charles out, 1-1-[0] (2-1)](../images/e10/e10tc-pb.jpg "Charles out, 1-1-[0] (2-1)")
- Ep.10 Immunity challenge: (Balls, poles, net) - The Titans have a massive lead on the final ball-toss segment, but Jaden bails them out, breezes to victory in mere seconds.
- Ep.10 individual reward/immunity challenge: (Frame, sandbags) - In a Tribal Council surprise, there's a challenge, and the top three finishers are immune ... plus the only ones able to vote. Aileen is first, followed by Kirby, then Feras.
- Ep.10 idol: After trying to get Feras and Aileen to put their votes on him, Winna plays his idol for himself. (Kirby tells him to play it for Charles.)
- Ep.10 voted out: Surprise! Aileen and Feras split their votes (1-1) on both Charles and Winna, while Kirby voted for Raymond. That's creates a 1-1-[0] tie between Charles and Raymond. On the revote, Charles is out (1-1-[0]; 2-1).
Episode 10 scoring notes
- The individual RC/IC: This kind of thing is murder for scoring, especially since the actual totals were edited out. For instance, Kelli had two sandbags landed, never shown, by the time Kirby landed her third. (Charles and Winna appeared to be at one each then.) Valeria also had an unshown bag landed. To the best of our ability, the placements were: 1-t. Aileen, Kirby, Feras (three bags); 4-t. Kelli, Charles, Winna (two bags); 7. Valeria (one bag); 8-t. Raymond, Scott (zero bags).
- MPF and ties: With the placements above set, Aileen, Kirby and Feras all received 100% for % Finish. Normally, ties receive points in the middle of the places tied for ... unless that place is first (one of many reasons why multiple winners is not ideal). The three who tied for fourth then split the points for 4th/5th/6th place (5/9; 56%), Valeria has a clean share of 7th (3/9; 33%); and Scott and Raymond split the points for 8th/9th place (1.5/9; 17%).
- Tribal voting: The three people who voted are the only ones who had TCAs (which tracks votes cast). Since Aileen had the initial-round vote for Charles, she's also the only one with a VFB (sorry, Feras). Everyone saw 3 TotV. Confusing, which is why it's better when everyone votes, even if this was really exciting to watch. Weirdly, Charles leaves the game with a perfect 4-for-4 voting record, and just 1 vote against, since he was unable to vote here.
Vote count:
- Charles received 1 vote, from Aileen (voted out, 1-1-[0]; 2-1 on revote).
- Raymond received 1 vote, from Kirby.
- [*Winna received 1 vote, from Feras, voided by his idol play.]

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.
