'PD' Dee - Performance ranks
Tribal: VFB% percentile
12%
Tribal: rVAP percentile
62%
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."

'PD' Dee - Bio
AU: Brains v Brawn II bio Official Ten AU: Brains v Brawn II bio excerpts (January 20, 2025):
"Paul (PD) is a dad of two teenagers from Sydney who works as a salesman for a brewery by day and a soccer coach by night.
Before coaching, PD played for the National Soccer League and represented Australia but after hanging up his boots, he realised wasn’t quite ready to stop and has been coaching for the last ten years.
Hoping to use his coaching skills to coach his Brawn tribemates in the game, PD says, “I've always got plan A and plan B. Now, plan A is our game plan, but plan B is to do plan A even better. So, we aren't gonna lose.”
Taking inspiration from previous players like Kirby and Hayley, PD loves the game and feels the living conditions and mental game play is something he can handle. The only thing he can’t handle will be leaving his family and dog at home.
PD jokes, “Please don't tell my family this, but I will miss my dog, Rocky, the most out of everybody back home.”"
