Genie Chen - Performance ranks
Tribal: VFB% percentile
17%
Tribal: rVAP percentile
56%
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."

Genie Chen - Bio
Survivor
41 bio Official CBS Survivor 41 bio excerpts (September 4, 2021):
"Pet Peeves: People who wear masks incorrectly by not covering their nose and mouth, or who don't wear them at all.
What is the accomplishment you are most proud of? I got the "hustle award" one year at basketball camp when I was 15 years old.
What is something we would never know from looking at you? I was first-string cellist in junior high and I still play videogames.
Who is your hero and why? My hero is my sister. She is a success story with a beautiful family despite not having had support at an early age.
Which past Survivor will you play the game most like? I don't believe in playing like any other contestant before. I'm going to have many alliances so I can always have the best options to further my game.
Why do you believe you can win Survivor? I'm very likable and sincere so people trust me. I'm also very nice so no one will suspect me to be strategic. "
