Tribal: rVAP percentile
96%
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."

Julie Rosenberg - Bio
S38: Edge of Extinction Official CBS Edge of Extinction bio excerpts (February 1, 2019):
"Hobbies: Psychological thrillers, hot yoga classes, escape rooms, and spending way too much time online researching gluten-free recipes that I never end up making.
Three words to describe you: Underestimated, determined, and maybe a little neurotic. Okay, I'm definitely neurotic.
What is your personal claim to fame? Raising my two kids who impress me every day with their intelligence, strength, humor, and resilience. I hope I can make them as proud of me as I am of them.
If you could have three things on the island, what would they be and why? My iPhone for its playlist of my favorite songs to keep me motivated when things get tough. A picture of my husband, kids, and two Bernese mountain dogs to remember that they are back home rooting for me. Milk chocolate. That's self-explanatory.
Which Survivor contestant are you the most like? A combo of Stephenie for her tenacity, Cirie for her humor and fun-spirit, and Dawn for her propensity to have some emotional moments.
Why do you think you'll "survive" Survivor? There is no doubt that I will be out of my comfort zone every step of the way, but when I set out to do something I become laser focused and I never give up. While I may not be the strongest physical player out there, I am smart, social, and will play the game with both my brain and my heart. I have waited 18 years to do this and nothing is going to stop me from winning. No other outcome is even an option!"
