Tribal: rVAP percentile

Performance ranks are a quick visual measure of the contestant's season vs. historical data from all prior contestants, in three basic (scorable) categories:

1. Performance in individual challenges (MPF), as a measure of "physical game";

2. Ability to vote people out consistently (VFB%, or VFB/TCA), or "strategic game"; and

3. Ability to avoid being voted against (rVAP, or TCA-VAP) - which scales better than a percentage would - for "social/strategic game."

Aaron Reisberger - Interviews

Pre-game interviews

  • CBS pre-game interview: "I get along with people that are really, really honest and true to themselves, and I really like to have people that are blunt, and they don't beat around the bush. To win a million dollars on this show, is there anything I wouldn't do? I… don't think so."
  • Probst pre-game assessment from TV Guide online (8/20/07): "Aaron is a threat. He's a charming, good-looking guy, and he's got a side to him that's cold like steel. He's a bartender and he told us that he sizes up people fast to get a bigger tip. He'd tell you one thing and there was always something else going on. He's the guy who could be playing everybody."

Aaron Reisberger - Bio
Survivor 15 logo  S15: China

From his official CBS Survivor: China bio page:

"Originally from Belmont County, Ohio, Aaron Reisberger obtained a Bachelor of Science degree in Hospitality Management from Ohio State University. After college, he moved to Chicago for some time and then to Hawaii. He also has his certification from the American Council on Exercise and a bartending license from the state of Hawaii. He is currently a surfing instructor while also tending bar and managing a tapas restaurant. He has previously worked in home remodeling.

Reisberger's hobbies include cooking (his favorite show is "Top Chef" and he subscribes to Food & Wine), surfing, golf and reading. He describes himself as witty, fun and, well, sometimes too nice. He is proud to say he was on THE PRICE IS RIGHT. He thinks his knowledge of cooking and how to make things edible and tasty will help his game, as will his ability to adapt to his environment and to get along without a lot of creature comforts.

Reisberger currently resides in Venice, California. His birth date is April 25, 1975."
