Episode 16: ""
SurvivorAU 9 Episode 16 boxscore
Filmed: September 1-2, 2023 | Aired: March 3, 2024
- Ep.16 Auction: It's a fairly standard affair. Raymond gets a giant tub of popcorn, Kirby gets pizza, Feras gets duped into a tooth brushing. Oh wait, Raymond found something in his popcorn!
- Ep.16 advantage: Ray's find is the "Ultimate Vote" advantage, good only for the next three Tribals. It allows him to cast the sole deciding vote at Tribal, BUT ... everyone else has to vote for him for it to work.
- Ep.16 Immunity Challenge: "A Bit Tipsy" - Aileen comes within two steps of winning, but drops two blocks at the last second (then all of them), opening the door for Kitty, who wins.
- Ep.16 voted out: Kirby and Rianna flip to weaken Feras, taking out Aileen in a 7-4 vote over Mark. But at least Aileen becomes the first juror.
Episode 16 scoring notes
- The auction: As always, the auction is not a challenge, and thus receives no scoring.
- The IC: Also as always, in a challenge like this where clearly all progress can be eliminated by a single flub, the only clear placement is Kitty in first. Everyone else ties for second, because their actual order of finish is unknowable.
Vote count:
- Aileen received 7 votes, from Caroline, Jaden, Kirby, Kitty, Mark, Rianna, and Valeria (voted out, 7-4).
- Mark received 4 votes, from Aileen, Alex, Feras, and Raymond.

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.
