Geo Bustamante - Performance ranks
Tribal: VFB% percentile
4
Tribal: rVAP percentile
32%
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."

Geo Bustamante - Bio
Survivor
43 bio Official CBS Survivor 43 bio excerpts (expected August, 2022):
(Still none as of 10/8/22. But available at EW.com)
"Favorite hobbies: Hiking, traveling, diving
3 words to describe you: Adaptable, hard
worker, resilient
Pet peeve(s): I strongly dislike laziness and
people who don't have common courtesy.
What is the accomplishment you are most proud of?
Being that English is my second language, I grew up in the hood
and was homeless for a period of time, the accomplishment that I
am most proud of is graduating with my associate degree with a
4.0 GPA.
What is something we would never know from looking at
you? I grew up shy, quiet and in my head, which made
me a thinker and very analytical. People also don't see that if
they mess or compete with me, they will lose. A whole new alter
ego comes out that turns into a beast during any competition.
Who is your hero and why? My husband is my hero
because he is everything I have. He motivates me and has
encouraged me through so much. He is also in the military, so he
is a real hero in life!
Which past Survivor will you play the game most like?
It would have to be a combination of Cochran and Boston Rob. I
am not as physical as Rob, but I will be strategic like Cochran.
I'm hoping that by the end of the season, people will see that I
played my own game.
Why do you believe you can be the Sole Survivor?
Because in life, I am already a survivor. In life I did not have
the luxury to mess up and have people help me. In life I
struggled and fought hard for everything I've accomplished. I
have the fire in me and the willpower to show the world that I
deserve to win and will not let anything or anyone get in my
way. I'm ready for this, and I will not let this opportunity of
a lifetime go to waste. The world will see that Geo Bustamante
has arrived, and I WILL WIN!"
