VFB is votes for boot, the number of times a contestant votes someone out. A basic Survivor action, and one a good player should, in theory, do almost every time. True, it's difficult to distinguish between someone masterminding the vote and someone riding coattails just from this one stat. Perhaps that's where the career numbers come into play.

Important notes:

• Re-votes after a tie don't count as votes. Only the first vote does. Also, if you vote for the wrong person on a vote split, tough luck.
• ‡ Final two special case: The F3 vote, in which only the F3 IC winner casts a vote (which is guaranteed to be correct) is a complicated one. We've gone back and forth on whether it should be included or not. We're currently not counting the phantom vote by the non-voting person who's carried to the F2 (Parvati in Micronesia), but it's possible the IC winner's vote also shouldn't count (Boston Rob in All-Stars). As such, Parvati and Boston Rob are tied for first, because at least one of each of their votes is in this gray area.

• 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, odd case: In a final three TC, where only one vote is cast (by the F3 IC winner), both VFBs are counted, but only the single VAP counts.
• 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.
