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."

Natalie Anderson - Bios
From her official CBS Survivor: San Juan del Sur cast bio page (8/27/14):
"Occupation: Crossfit Coach and Physical Therapy student
Personal Claim to Fame: Being on The Amazing Race twice! Getting kicked off first on All-Stars!
Inspiration in Life: My mother. She is the strongest and the bravest woman I know. She has always encouraged me to be myself and go after anything I want. She has supported me in all my crazy adventures and has taught me how to be a strong and fearless woman!
Hobbies: Crossfit, surfing and being a bad ass.
Pet Peeves: Girls who can’t do anything for themselves, lazy people and dumb people.
3 Words to Describe You: Crazy, strong and confident.
If You Could Have 3 Things on The Island What Would They Be and Why? 1) Razor; being super hairy in a bikini is not cute 2) iPhone; so I can tweet and get on instagram 3) Barbells; so I can squat
Survivor Contestant You Are Most Like: Tony but hopefully not as insane.
Reason for Being on Survivor: The million dollars!! Also, winning Survivor makes you a certified bad ass!
Why You Think You’ll “Survive” Survivor: I am physically, mentally and emotionally strong. I am very strong willed and do not give up! I work well with people and feel like I would be a good tribe mate. I know I will pull my weight with the camp chores and not be a burden to my tribe. Physically, I will be able to hang with the guys and be an asset in the team challenges. Also, I love the ocean and if I had to choose one place to spend the rest of my life, it would be the beach. I’m a true island girl!
What Does It Mean to You to Play Survivor with Your Loved One? Getting to be on Survivor with Nadiya means so much to me. No matter what we are doing, Nadiya and I have so much fun; whether we are working together or competing against each other! Doing something this intense and getting to share it with my twinnie is something I will never forget."
Excerpts from her official CBS Survivor: Winners at War cast bio page (1/15/20):
"When did you first watch Survivor? Season 27: Blood vs. Water.
What does Survivor mean to you and your family? To me Survivor was a test of my mental, physical, and emotional strength. It also made me realize how much my family (Nadiya) means to me and that nothing motivates me more than that. To my family, Survivor meant pride in having a daughter that was strong, bold, and resilient. Also, to be the first person of South East Asia to be on the show and win was pretty sweet.
What is one way playing Survivor changed your life? To know that my determination and unwavering dedication can pay off. And no matter how bleak a situation may seem, that if you are focused and work hard it will pay off. It made me proud of my physical and mental strength. It made me confident in my independence and to always stand up for what you believe in and what you deserve in real life and in the game of Survivor.
As Survivor approaches Season 40 and celebrates 20 years on television, what does it mean to be a part of the legacy? It seems almost surreal that I am a part of this legacy. I am honored and grateful to have had this experience and that the fans of the show embraced me as a winner that deserved the title of Sole Survivor. To be a female winner and to be praised for being strong BOTH physically and mentally, bold and unapologetic means so much to me.
How will you play differently than you did in your past season? There are so many factors that are in play in the game of Survivor. It would be stupid for me to even try and start my gameplay ahead of time. But, given the fact that I never got one single vote against me during my season, I don't think I should change much about intuition and game. I am proud of standing up for myself, for being brass and bold, for being strong and ruthless. I know to win Survivor you have to work hard but I also know that there are added factors like timing and luck that can help. Hoping for a little luck, some good timing, and my hard work to bring me success just like my first season."
