Don Rogers - Performance ranks
Tribal: VFB% percentile
75%
Tribal: rVAP percentile
3
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."

Don Rogers - Bio
AU: Redemption bio Official Ten AU: Redemption bio excerpts (2/202/26):
"You’ve met The Godfather of Survivor, now meet The Don. Competitive, driven and focused, Don says he’s the quintessential good Aussie bloke. His father is NRL Hall of Fame legend Steve Rogers, and his brother is rugby icon and two-time Survivor competitor Mat Rogers.
And while Mat excelled in the game and was known as the Godfather, he never won the title, and it’s a claim Don wouldn’t mind holding.
“If I had the title of Sole Survivor, that would give me family bragging rights for the next thirty or forty years.”
Don joined the Cronulla Sharks in 1994 alongside his brother, but admits he lacked the discipline and focus to excel as he could have. A carpenter by trade and crane operator by day, Don, 51, is also a country music artist performing every moment he can.
He admits to often playing in the backyard at family BBQs, but only taking his passion seriously three years ago.
“I just started doing open mics, and they morphed into gigs, and the gigs morphed into festivals, and now we're in the studio. It blows my mind.”
Behind it all he says he’s grateful for the support of his wife and kids.
“My family to me is everything. It's the motivation behind everything I do. It's the reason I get up in the morning and go to work. It's the reason I'm pursuing a music career. It's the reason I'm here on Survivor.”
And while he might walk in the shadow of family, Don admits he’s ready for the next chapter.
“I love my father and my brother immensely, and I'm so proud of what they've done. But growing up, I've always been Steve's son or Mat's brother. And I'm excited for Australia to get to know who Don Rogers is.”"
