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."

Sandra Diaz-Twine - Bios

From her official CBS Pearl Islands bio page:

"Born in Stamford, Connecticut, Sandra Diaz-Twine currently lives in Ft. Lewis, Washington with her husband, Marcus, and their two children, Tatiana, 8, and Alanna, 6. She is employed as a senior office associate with the Army and Air force Exchange Service. Prior to her current employment, she served as a chemical repair specialist with the United States Army. She also previously worked in the mailroom of the Army and Air Force Exchange Service and in customer service at a clothing store. Her favorite hobbies are fishing and camping. She describes herself as adventurous, dedicated and a team player. She is most proud of having graduated from community college where she received an Associates Degree in Business Administration from Fayetteville Community College in North Carolina. Her favorite sport is volleyball. Her mother is her hero because she has always been committed to and made sacrifices for her children. She thinks her mother is the bravest, kindest, most loving person and an inspiration. She believes she's a contender for Survivor: Pearl Islands because of her ability to improvise and feels her small knowledge of hunting will be an asset to the tribe. She also thinks she's a good provider and possesses good field skills. Her birth date is July 30, 1974."

From her CBS Survivor: Heroes vs. Villains bio page:

 

"Personal Claim To Fame: “Graduating from community college where I received an Associate’s Degree in Business Administration.”
Inspiration in Life: “My mother.”
Previous Finishes: Pearl Islands: Winner
Favorite Past Moment: “When I dumped the fish after Rupert got voted out.”
Previous Survivor She Respects Most: “I have no comment.”
Previous Survivor She Respects Least: Jonny Fairplay (Pearls Islands, Micronesia)
Why Did She Come Back?: “Hands down, the money!”"

Excerpts from her official CBS Game Changers bio page:

 

"How have you changed since the last time you played? 
I’ve gotten older and fatter.

 

What are you most proud of from the last time? 
Winning again.

 

How will you play differently this time? 
I have no choice but to be a more aggressive-sneaky-mean-lying-and-cheating Sandra."

Excerpts from her official CBS Survivor: Winners at War cast bio page: (1/15/20)

"Three words to describe you: Sassy, unapologetic, and loyal.

When did you first watch Survivor?
Season 1.

Do you still watch Survivor?
Yup.

What does Survivor mean to you and your family?
Everything I have is because of Survivor. I'm very grateful.

What is one way playing Survivor changed your life?
I'm the only two-time winner.

As Survivor approaches Season 40 and celebrates 20 years on television, what does it mean to be a part of the legacy?
It's an honor to have been part of this show!

How will you play differently than you have in your past seasons?
I'm gonna switch it up from the usual "as long as it's not me" philosophy."

Official Ten AU: Blood v Water bio excerpts: (January 24, 2022)

"Sandra is a two-time US Survivor winner and now she is ready to take on Australian Survivor and defend her international Survivor throne. Sassy and outspoken and having been a part of US Survivor five times, she is excited to be playing with a family member for the very first time.

While she might be the Queen, Sandra has never played Survivor: Blood V Water and is hoping not to impact Nina’s game. Sandra says: “I’m set in my ways but having Nina out there will remind me, ‘Sandra, tone it down.’ It’s a whole different game, it’s a whole different place, it’s a whole different theme so I can’t be the same Sandra as before.”

What will be your strength? My strength on Australian Survivor will be my social game. I can pretty much find something in common with everyone. I can be a good friend to those that are interested in getting to know me.

What will be your weakness? My weakness has always been my lack of being a physically dominant player at challenges and my reluctance with water challenges, although I can swim."
