- 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 4
Survivor NZ: Thailand boxscores - Episode 4
Filmed: January 29-31, 2018 | Aired: May 13, 2018
- Ep.4 Reward challenge: "Sumo at Sea" - (In mud...) Khang Khaw dominates, convincingly, 10-5, wins "smoko" (coffee, tea, hot chocolate, cookies).
- Ep.4 Outpost: Dilemma - Arun and Josh have to pick IC sit-outs for the next challenge. They will stay at camp, but also be immune at Tribal Council. Josh selects himself, admitting Khang Khaw wouldn't mind losing. Arun picks Eve.
- Ep.4 Immunity challenge: (Chains, obstacles, bolos) - Chani wins, as Khang Khaw takes a really long time to untie things.
- Ep.4 voted out: Kaysha, 5-2-1-1 over Dylan, Tess, and Adam, respectively.
Episode 4 scoring notes
Notes: The fact that Josh had a choice in the matter means Josh & Eve's IC sit-outs should be counted as regular sit-outs and challenge "appearances," even though neither of them actually appeared at the challenge site. It's not like forced exclusion due to a swap, as with Julia Sokolowski in Kaoh Rong.
Vote count:
- Kaysha received 5 votes, from Adam, Brad, Josh, Matt, and Tess (voted out, 5-2-1-1).
- Dylan received 2 votes, from Lisa and Tara.
- Tess received 1 vote, from Dylan.
- Adam received 1 vote, from Kaysha.
