Aysha Welch - Performance ranks
Tribal: VFB% percentile
4%
Tribal: rVAP percentile
32%
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."

Aysha Welch - Bio
Survivor 47 bio Official CBS Survivor 47 bio excerpts, (September 4, 2024), as preserved by Mike Bloom at Parade.com:
"Three words to describe you: Overachiever, unique, joyful
Why do you want to be part of Survivor?: I’ve watched Survivor since I was 12. My mom started watching season 1, so she put me on. I always thought that Survivor was too hard, but I’ve reached the point in my life where I’ve accomplished a lot personally and I’m ready for my next biggest challenge. Not only is this my dream, but my family’s too.
What’s one life experience you feel has prepared you for the game? In 2017, Hurricane Harvey hit Houston, Tex. My apartment got above one foot of water, ruining so many of my belongings and furniture. My dad drove down from Dallas, Tex., and I had to walk through waist-deep water at night to go get him. The water had snakes and all kinds of creatures. That night showed me that I can do anything I set my mind to.
Which previous player do you identify with the most? Who do you think you will play most like? I identify the most with Cirie because of her ability to use her personality to connect with so many kinds of people. I plan to use my ability to form relationships to make sure people genuinely like me without thinking it’s strategy. So, I plan to have a social game like Cirie with the physicality of Natalie Anderson. I lost 10 pounds of fat and gained five pounds of muscle in preparation for Survivor by strength training.
What will you value in an alliance partner? Blind loyalty. I’d love for them to be loyal to me without realizing that I’m a threat to win. Too many people lately have been blindsided by their ally. I want an ally who is too loyal to even consider betrayal.
Favorite hobbies: Going to escape rooms, playing basketball, long walks with my dogs, watching TV (yes that’s a hobby), working out, drinking cider at a cidery or wine at a winery.
Pet peeves: People who are loud in quiet places, people who chew to the point where you can identify what part of the meal they’re on, people who don’t listen, people who oppose the idea that dogs can be someone’s children.
What is the accomplishment you are most proud of? I bought my first house all on my own at 29. I always thought I’d wait until I was married for that type of investment, but I had the means, and I went for it. I had to make sure I had enough space for Pepper and Cinnamon to run around. They’re my dogs and I call them my “spice girls.”
What is something we would never know from looking at you? I’m super competitive. If the objective is to win, my goal is to win. I don’t care if it’s trivia on FB messenger with my seven-year-old goddaughter. I even broke up with an ex because I beat him 1v1 in basketball and he threw a temper tantrum.
...
Why will you be the Sole Survivor? I believe I will be underestimated. I will use my social game to push me through while unveiling my competitiveness when it matters most. Then, at final tribal council, I will be able to clearly articulate my strategy to get there."
