Val Collins - Performance ranks
Tribal: VFB% percentile
4
Tribal: rVAP percentile
32%
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."

Val Collins - Bio
S29:
San Juan del Sur From her official CBS Survivor: San Juan del Sur cast bio page (8/27/14):
"Occupation: Foxboro Police Officer
Inspiration in Life: My mom who was a single mom working many jobs to support us.
Pet Peeves: Liars.
If You Could Have 3 Things on The Island What Would They Be and Why? 1) Picture of my daughters Jordyn & Camryn to inspire me 2) A lokai bracelet with mud from the Dead Sea to remind me to be hopeful at my lowest point and water from Mt. Everest to remind me to stay hopeful at my highest point. 3) Matching bracelet I share with my kids to feel connected to them.
Survivor Contestant You Are Most Like: Monica and Taj.
Why You Think You’ll “Survive” Survivor: I have mental toughness, I’m strong and I’m patient.
What Does It Mean to You to Play Survivor with Your Loved One? I am excited to play the game with Jeremy but our game will probably be different and that will be hard because I may have to change my game and go against my gut based on his instinct. Playing with a loved one brings emotions to the game right from the beginning. You have to watch their back just as much."
