Tribal: rVAP percentile
40%
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."

Keith Tollefson - Bio
S23:
South Pacific Excerpts from his official CBS South Pacific bio page:
"Personal claim to fame: I graduated college and moved to Hawaii for two years because that was my dream.
Pet peeves: I really dislike people talking behind my back, especially when it’s not true, and rude people.
Survivor Contestant you are most like: Boston Rob because he's memorable and played one of the best psychological games.
Why you think you will be the sole Survivor: I can make people understand, or think my decisions are looking out for them. I never quit. I wouldn't go on the show if I didn't feel I could win!"
