Tribal: rVAP percentile
25%
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."

Gabe Ortis - 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: Opportunistic, resourceful, blunt
Why do you want to be part of Survivor?: The new era opened a door to write yourself into a new set of history books. I wanted to make my mark before those books got written.
What’s one life experience you feel has prepared you for the game? I’ve worked tons of jobs many people were more qualified for, but I got very adept at selling people on ME, and those interviews translated great to getting on and succeeding at Survivor.
Which previous player do you identify with the most? Who do you think you will play most like? I think there are bits of a lot of players I resonate with and will emulate, but to be honest, I don’t want people to watch me and say, “Wow, he’s like XZY!” I want people to look at players that come after me and be like “Wow, he’s like Gabriel!”
What will you value in an alliance partner? It’s cliché, but trust. I mean, what else, right?
Favorite hobbies: Live sporting events, poker, snowboarding.
Pet peeves: Passive aggression. Say what you mean!
What is the accomplishment you are most proud of? Hosting my own talk show in Baltimore on a major station. I sadly left that job to pursue Survivor, but best sad decision I ever made.
What is something we would never know from looking at you? I own two cats, Chachi and Saba. I feel like I come off as a dog person, and no disrespect, I love canines, but those cats are my ultimate joy in life.
...
Why will you be the Sole Survivor? I can read people better than anyone I know. Also, if I get an idol, I’m playing it!"
