Loz Mac - Performance ranks
Tribal: VFB% percentile
87%
Tribal: rVAP percentile
67%
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."

Loz Mac - Bio
AU: Redemption bio Official Ten AU: Redemption bio excerpts (2/20/26):
"If there’s anyone is entering the game of Samoa with bush knowledge advantage, it’s mum of two, Loz from New Zealand.
Raised in Geelong, Victoria, but now living in the MaungaKotukutuku Valley on the Kapiti coast on the North Island, Loz is passionate about her lifestyle.
Living in the bush with her kids, she says the goal is to develop more skills in self-sufficiency.
"I'm really passionate about nature and connecting people with nature. It's such great medicine. It's really healing. It's super important.”
Determined to one day play the game of Survivor, Loz spent a week in Tonga in 2024, learning about bush craft training and spending three nights castaway on the Island. The opportunity arose following the passing of her father, with whom Loz was incredibly close.
“He'd be absolutely stoked I’m here. Absolutely stoked. I’m here because of him.”
Loz, 46, admits she’s had a tough few years, feeling broken after a divorce, the passing of her father, the loss of a job and caring for her two teenage daughters. But her resilience and strength is shining through, and it’s all in her back pocket to take out this game.
“There were some pretty rough times there where I could have just crumbled. But I regrouped, refocused and decided what was next for me.”
“I'm here to prove that we all have this power inside of us, all of us, and it's never too late to really go out and get what you want in this life.”"
