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."

Titans v Rebels interviews Jaden Laing - Bio
AU: Titans v Rebels bio Official Ten AU: Titans v Rebels bio excerpts (January 22, 2024):
"With the build and the look of a classic Titan, Jaden is a unit in every sense of the word. But under that hulk exterior, is a big softie.
Jaden says, “I’m a tough, tatted up dude, but that’s not really the case. I like to think I’m a bit of a gentle giant. I get angry and aggressive at the gym trying to lift weights but if you see me outside the gym, I’m always laughing and smiling.”
A strongman, Jaden has pulled trucks and cars at weights over 16 tonnes. He also creates social media videos, is a traffic controller and security guard but comes from a sporting background and has played international rugby for the Chilean national team and multiple college teams while he was in the USA.
Playing in Samoa, Jaden is coming back to his roots as his grandfather is Samoan Fijian and he says, “I’ve been to Fiji before and this is pretty similar but there’s definitely a little something inside of me that’s like ‘this is home, man.’ I’m from Australia, born and raised in Australia, but I’m playing in Samoa and it makes me proud and I want to prove myself.”"
