Craig I'Anson - Performance ranks
Tribal: VFB% percentile
75%
Tribal: rVAP percentile
72%
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."

Craig I'Anson - Bio
AU1: 2016 bio Official SurvivorAU: 2016 10play bio (September, 2016):
"Fit, strong and engaging, Craig calls a spade a spade. He loves nothing more than running faster and lifting more weights than his “macho” mates.
A senior recruitment officer for Queensland Fire and Emergency Services, Craig has been dreaming of being a Survivor castaway for many years. “Survivor has been an obsession and a passion of mine for 16 years. I love the tribal aspect of the show and I love the extremities you need to endure and test yourself against.”
Craig has his own story of survival. Following an accident in 2012, he was burned in a fire. With burns to 35% of his body, doctors told him he may never be able to go out in the sun again. He proved them wrong after a few months.
Craig says: “I was burnt in a fire and spent 16 days in hospital. I had to rehabilitate myself and it was a very dark time but I learned how strong I really was. I learnt the lesson in life that no matter how dark and low times are, there is always a light.”
Leaving behind his two “fur babies”, that is, his dogs, Craig has also given up a massive European holiday with partner Tom to be on Australian Survivor. He does not regret his decision and says: “We will go on an even better holiday when I’ve won half a million dollars!”
When he’s not planning Survivor domination, Craig loves to play Pokémon, do martial arts and watch good movies."
