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."

Scot Pollard - Bio
Survivor 32 logo  S32: Kaoh Rong

From his official CBS Survivor: Kaoh Rong cast bio page: (1/20/16)

"Personal Claim to Fame: Winning an NBA Championship ring and playing in the NBA for 11 years.

Hobbies: Spending time with family, traveling and riding my motorcycle.

Pet Peeves: People who are late and not loyal.

If You Could Have 3 Things on the Island What Would They Be and Why? A phone, so I can talk to my wife and kids; a photo of my family so I have a reminder of why I’m in the competition; and my NBA championship ring, to remind me of what I have accomplished.

Survivor Contestant You Are Most Like: The professional athletes because that was my profession.

Reason for Being on Survivor: My primary reason is for the money, but also the competition itself.

Why You Think You’ll “Survive” Survivor: I’m a great teammate and know how to make others better. And, I’m a winner!

Why You Think You Will Be the Sole Survivor: Because I’m a great teammate, but ultimately I can outsmart my opponents."
