Joe Hunter - Performance ranks
Tribal: VFB% percentile
N/A
Tribal: rVAP percentile
N/A
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."

Joe Hunter - Bio
Survivor 48 bio Official CBS Survivor 48 bio excerpts, (as preserved in Mike Bloom's Parade.com cast reveal, January 29, 2025):
"3 Words to Describe You: Courageous, compassionate, loving / kick-ass dad!
Why do you want to be part of Survivor? My sister. She was big fan of the show from when it started. She asked me to apply years ago, and many times. I didn’t think we could do it. Then she was taken from me by Domestic Violence. It took me years but this is for her. It is about doing this for her and giving her peace that her brother did it! And did it for her!
What’s one life experience you feel has prepared you for the game? I lost my sister from Domestic Violence. That event showed me I can do anything and never give up. Her loss was hard to explain, how painful it was but has showed me I can do / overcome anything!
Which previous player do you identify with the most? Who do you think you will play most like? Cody – Well rounded and loved.
What will you value in an alliance partner? Loyal, don’t go “crazy” when things get wild. (Just be normal, and cool please).
Favorite Hobbies: Taking my kids to the pool, family trips, dance party with my little kiddos. Going to Tahoe with the family.
Pet Peeves: Rude people, selfish people, mean people, people who tailgate / cut you off while driving. Bad hugs, people who don’t make eye contact. Basically anything acting like a “butthole.”
What is the accomplishment you are most proud of? Being a good Dad. This takes every inch of your heart, mind and soul to truly do this. You have to put “you” second and make your sole purpose in life to make great little people!
What is something we would never know from looking at you? I love to draw cartoons for my little girl. And she loves them even if you can’t tell who did the work, her or me!
...
Why will you be the Sole Survivor? I have been through so much loss, pain and struggle. This has given me the power to overcome anything. This has given me the power to overcome and be the next Sole Survivor."
