Des Quilty - Performance ranks
Tribal: VFB% percentile
3
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."

Des Quilty - Bio
AU1: 2016 bio Official SurvivorAU: 2016 10play bio (5/2/21):
"Des is a courier driver and a classic Aussie bloke who loves to have a laugh. He is a loyal man who has been married for 37 years.
Des boasts that he will surprise his fellow Australian Survivor contestants with his brains. His game plan is to observe and befriend his fellow tribe mates and then ultimately become the puppet master, pulling the strings from behind the scenes.
Des says: “I intend to make some big moves because the meek may inherit the Earth, but they don’t win Australian Survivor. In the game, my word is glass. It’s meant to be broken in case of fire.”
Straight-talking Des talks a big game. He says: “I’m born to play a villainous game. If they don’t get rid of me first, they are gonna be in trouble.”
Des was a Sergeant in the Australian Army for seven years and has experience living in tough conditions. Since leaving the army he has worked in a variety of different industries including automapping, computing, pest control and publishing, and says: “I don’t look like the smartest bloke but I’ve actually got a few brains.”
A family man with three daughters, Des has been happily married for 37 years to Caroline, whom he affectionately calls “The Queen”. When he told his wife he was leaving the family behind to compete in Australian Survivor, she had one piece of advice: “Don’t come home without the bacon.”
Having quality time with his family is very important to Des and winning the half million dollar prize money would go towards helping his daughters get the best start in life."
