Episode 9: "A Deal With the Devil"
SA8: Immunity Island boxscores Episode 9
Filmed: November 28-29, 2020 |
Aired: July 29, 2021
- Ep. 9 Reward challenge: Orange teamwork and superior Chappies shooting wins it, and the team (Chappies, Tyson, Wardah, Amy, Renier) plus Santoni gets pizza that doesn't look terrible.
- Ep. 9 idol clue: At the reward, Renier finds a clue — which all read — saying there's an idol at Immunity Island.
- Ep. 9 Immunity challenge: "Living Color" - Once again, it comes down to Kiran vs. Anesu, and Kiran again wears the necklace. He sends Wardah to Immunity Island.
- Ep. 9 Immunity Island: Faced with a tight vote, Wardah can neither play for a new advantage nor search for an idol, so she has no choice but to Give Up and Go.
- Ep. 9 voted out: Shaun, 6-5 over Wardah, who bequeathed the II necklace to Tyson. Vuna strong! For now.
Episode 9 scoring notes
- The RC: Santoni ended up there by rock draw, but she still earns an official sit-out in the RC. Sorry, *shrug* ... we don't make the rules. (Actually we do, and we're not all that sorry.)
- Ties in the IC, for MPF purposes: Since we haven't described this yet this season, the "% finish" score two people who tie in an individual challenge receive is the average of the two slots they take up. For example, Tyson and Anela tied for third, so they each get the points midway between third place (0.82) and fourth place (0.73), or 0.77. Similarly Shaun, Santoni and Wardah tied for 6th ( would otherwise be slots 6, 7, 8), so they each get the points for 7th place.
Vote count:
- Shaun received 6 votes, from Anesu, Chappies, Kiran, Santoni, Tyson, and Wardah (voted out, 6-5).
- Wardah received 5 votes, from Amy, Anela, Nicole, Renier, and Shaun.

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.
