Rome Cooney - Performance ranks
Tribal: VFB% percentile
77%
Tribal: rVAP percentile
14%
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."

Rome Cooney - Bio
Survivor 47 bio Official CBS Survivor 47 bio excerpts, (September 4, 2024), as preserved by Mike Bloom at Parade.com:
"Three words to describe you: Charismatic, entertaining, cutthroat
Why do you want to be part of Survivor?: It’s the greatest game you can play in real life, so as a lifelong gamer, this is the ultimate test for me. It’s the best chance I’ll have to win $1 million, while leaving a legacy that my future kids will be proud of. I need this game.
What’s one life experience you feel has prepared you for the game? Fully tearing my Achilles. It’s the greatest pain you can feel aside from childbirth. There’s no amount of pain and suffering I won’t be able to get through.
Which previous player do you identify with the most? Who do you think you will play most like? I identify with Sean Rector and Todd Herzog the most. Sean told it like it is, gave great confessionals and was true to himself. Todd had the greatest final tribal of all time with his way with words. I will truly play the game most like Cook Islands Ozzy. I want to be known as one of the greatest challenge beasts of all time.
What will you value in an alliance partner? Someone bad at talking publicly so I can beat them easily at final tribal; blind loyalty.
Favorite hobbies: Playing video games while listening to podcasts.
Pet peeves: Ordering food with somebody, then when we get the food, they still want to take some of my fries, or what I got. If you wanted some, order some!
What is the accomplishment you are most proud of? Going from commentating as a hobby for fun to joining the biggest talent agency in E-sports in just two years, then being chosen to commentate a $2 million Fortnite tournament and live in Saudi Arabia just a week after joining.
What is something we would never know from looking at you? I haven’t eaten a vegetable other than corn in over two decades. I want to be the next host of Survivor when Jeff retires. It’s the greatest job in the world, and I would be humbled to be his successor.
...
Why will you be the Sole Survivor? I will play my idols. I will win at least four individual immunity challenges. I have a way with words to get people to do what I want. Having an “anyone but me” mentality."
