Ben Davis - Performance ranks
Tribal: VFB% percentile
51%
Tribal: rVAP percentile
13%
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."

Ben Davis - Bio
AU: Redemption bio Official Ten AU: Redemption bio excerpts (2/20/26):
"A cheeky and charming big player who thrives on attention, Ben plans to hit the ground running with a game pinned on big social and physical moves.
Born and raised in Maroubra in NSW, Ben moved to South Australia at 18 when he was drafted into the AFL by the Adelaide Crows. His lifelong dream to play footy was hampered consistently by injury, and he spent much of his career as the medical sub on the bench.
“I'm here playing Survivor to show the world that I had more to give. I'm more than just the ultimate sub. I am a player who has a social game, has strength, has knowledge, has banter, has charisma. I'm here to show the world everything that I have to give.”
After being delisted by the Crows, Ben moved into an Indigenous Talent Lead role with the AFL, a position he loves, where he can support and encourage young Indigenous football players across the country.
Now living in Melbourne alongside wife Ruby, Ben, 28, says friends would describe him as chaotic, enthusiastic and competitive. But the loveable larrakin is determined to prove he has the fighting spirit to take out top prize.
“I want to show Australia that even though you get knocked down time and time again, you just get back up.”"
