- 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 12 scoring notes
Notes:
- RC scoring: Laetitia just missed the second round, so she finished 7th (the other three tied for 8th). Similarly, Cobus just missed the third round, so he finished fourth (with Nicole and Steffi tied for 5th). And in the final round, Jacques just missed winning, so he's second. Only done in challenges like these where there are clear almost-placements.
- Durao's "no vote": As with Rob in Ep2, Durao was unable to vote, so no VFB (obviously), but also no TCA, which mainly tracks times casting a vote. He did see the 9 total votes cast, though, for what it's worth.
Vote count:
- Dante received 5 votes, from Cobus, Jacques, Nicole, Rob, and Steffi (voted out, 5-3-1).
- Jacques received 3 votes, from Laetitia, Mike, and Mmaba.
- Cobus received 1 vote, from Dante.
