- 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 10
Survivor NZ: Thailand boxscores - Episode 10
Filmed: February 16-17, 2018 | Aired: June 24, 2018
- Ep.10 Reward challenge: "Challenge Pitch" - The yellow team (mostly Matt, but eventually also Dave, Tess) knock off blocks efficiently, and Lisa solves the puzzle swiftly, well ahead of Tara and the blue team. They win a trip to see "Jurassic World" with popcorn, soda, and videos from home. Adam is livid.
- Ep.10 Immunity challenge: "Paddle Out" - Dave and Adam turn out to randomly be whizzes at this, but Dave drops on the final ball, and Adam wins.
- Ep.10 voted out: Renee, 5-3 over Dave. Dave again does not play his idol.
Episode 10 scoring notes
Notes:
- IC scoring: This was one of those challenges where it's impossible to accurately know where everyone finished, and we're entirely dependent on the editing to score it. To that end: Lisa, Renee, Tara, and Tess were never shown placing a ball. We'll assume they ended with zero. Matt was shown placing one, and in a later group shot, still had it (good enough for 4th place). Eve was shown with three. Clearly, Adam won with six balls placed. Finally, after dropping all five of his originally placed balls (while Adam also had five placed), Dave somehow managed to place two more balls again before Adam finished. (When Dave drops his paddle at the end, he has two balls placed, at least.) So we're giving Dave credit for third place, between Eve and Matt.
Vote count:
- Renee received 5 votes, from Dave, Eve, Lisa, Matt, and Tara (voted out, 5-3).
- Dave received 3 votes, from Adam, Renee, and Tess.
