Ryan Medrano - Performance ranks
Tribal: VFB% percentile
68%
Tribal: rVAP percentile
25%
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."

Ryan Medrano - Bio
Survivor
43 bio Official CBS Survivor 43 bio excerpts (expected August, 2022):
(Still none as of 10/8/22. But available at EW.com)
"Favorite hobbies: Fishing, hiking, carpentry
3 words to describe you: Charismatic, outgoing, humorous
Pet peeve(s): Bullies, laziness, self-entitlement
What is the accomplishment you are most proud of? My connection that I made with my mother after her stroke. I helped her to understand that just because she wasn't the same as before didn't mean she couldn't live a full life. She just had to approach things from her newfound perspective.
What is something we would never know from looking at you? I was born three months early with mild cerebral palsy. Doctors said I would never walk but after four years of therapy, I finally was able to.
Which past Survivor will you play the game most like? Rupert. I like the way he provided food for his tribe, which helped them keep their strength for the challenges.
Why do you believe you can be the Sole Survivor? I'm a triple threat. I can socialize easily, am naturally strong and quick in puzzles. I am great at forming bonds and can influence others with a silver tongue. I have a great resolve to do what needs to be done to earn the million dollars."
