Karin Gunatilake - Performance ranks
Tribal: VFB% percentile

Tribal: rVAP percentile
NA
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."

Karin Gunatilake - Bio
AU: Brains v Brawn II bio Official Ten AU: Brains v Brawn II bio excerpts (January 20, 2025):
"With a wicked sense of humour and a love for the game, Karin is a doctor working in orthopaedic surgery. She helps surgeons do their surgery and says, “You’re the dude that’s holding things apart so the doctor can do the fixing.”
But she’s also ready to leave her doctoral instinct to help people at the door saying, “I'm here on Survivor to break bones. I don't want to put things back together. I'm not the good doctor anymore.”
Admitting surgical training is pretty close to surviving when it comes to 36-hour shifts with no sleep, no food and a competitive group of doctors trying to outsmart each other, Karin knows the game and wants to make an impact.
Karin says, “I just want to do something that's different. I've had every part of my life planned for the last 30 years. Not a single thing has gone wrong, and everything I've wanted to happen has happened. And that's because I like planning, I like control, I like having everything organised in front of me. And this is so left field of anything I've ever done.”
Not wanting to take a goat along to the final, Karin jokes her trust issues and resting bitch face might make her a target.
If she wins the $500,000 prize money, Karin plans to buy back her parent’s property in Sri Lanka for her mum after they had to sell it to pay for her uni fees."
