Laura Darras - Performance ranks
Tribal: VFB% percentile
26%
Tribal: rVAP percentile
68%
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."

Laura Darras - Bio
AU: Brains v Brawn II bio Official Ten AU: Brains v Brawn II bio excerpts (January 20, 2025):
"Say the word witch to most people and they wouldn’t expect a blonde, bubbly, smiling girl like Laura. But don’t let the sweetness fool you, she says, “I come across really hippy dippy and my tribemates will see me as sweet and curious, but this sugar has her bite and I’m not afraid to use it.”
Laura calls herself a witch because she’s a woman who knows what she wants and wants to take back the stigma in the title. And also, because she has over 250 crystals, uses spells on the daily and knows how to manifest through her spell work and magic.
She says, “I read people’s energies and see your aura by seeing little colours above people’s heads that tell me what they’re thinking, what they’re feeling and how they are handling any given situation. It’s a skill I’ll be using out here for sure!”
Laura is also an actor and believes her acting skills will help her not only to get people to do what she wants but also because of her knowledge of human behaviour.
A Survivor superfan, Laura admits she has 3D printed puzzles, a backyard full of Survivor challenges and isn’t afraid to have hard conversations. She even says confrontation is a strength of hers as she can stand up for herself and speak clearly under pressure.
Laura says, “My friends say I can convince a fish it has legs. I can convince anyone of anything. I can read how people perceive the world and I can use what they value against them.”"
