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."

Shane Gould - Bios
Excerpts from Shane's official bio page (7/31/18):
"An Australian legend in the swimming pool and the eldest competitor in Australian Survivor, Shane is sporting royalty and one of the world’s greatest female swimmers.
Between 1971 and 1973, she broke 11 world records in six different events. In the 1972 Olympics, Shane was, and still is, the only woman ever to win five individual medals: three gold in total, all in world record times, plus a silver and a bronze.
In 1972, Shane held every Freestyle World Record: 100m, 200m, 400m, 800m, 1500m and also the 200 individual medley, an achievement which has never been matched.
“I’m not one to be proud of myself. I think being proud is a fashionable self-serving idea. I prefer to think about satisfying moments and those aren’t necessarily my sporting accomplishments. Parenting four children to be independent adults. Learning how to train my horses. Those are moments I cherish.”
Splitting her time between Sydney and Bicheno, Tasmania, Shane may be the eldest to arrive on the island but she is not going to let the young ones throw her off.
“I’m a realist and I know it’s not going to be easy, especially when I don’t know who my competition is yet but I have a one in 24 chance of winning. I’ll be playing my hardest and I want to be there at the end. I’ve been researching, training and feel like I’m as prepared as I can be.”
“Just because I’m in the Champions tribe doesn’t mean I am safe. I’m probably older than the rest but that won’t stop me. I’ve been through tough times and lived to tell the tale. That’s how I live my life and that’s how I’m going to finish on Survivor.”"
Official Ten SurvivorAU: All-Stars bio excerpts (February 3, 2020):
"Not only is Shane Gould an Australian Icon and Olympian but she’s also the oldest Australian Survivor winner and is ready to do it all again!
After winning the first Australian Survivor: Champions v Contenders in Season 3, Shane has finished her PhD and graduated in doctoral studies. With all her work away from the island, she’s excited to come back for All Stars and give it another chance. “I won my season, I was the oldest to win and I played a subtle game with some well-timed moves, very good luck and very good help from allies at the right times.
“I have so much life experience in years that I played and will play again. In the last game, I realised I used my experience as a horse trainer and farm animal herder to read other player’s body language but will continue to do that without anyone knowing.”
From her life in Tasmania where she likes to read, work on her garden and walk with her husband Milt, she wants to use her wisdom and experience to win over her fellow castaways.
“I’m going to try my hardest to win by negotiation, reconciliation, political instinct, subterfuge, selfinterest and use every opportunity handed to me.”"
