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."

Official SurvivorSA: Immunity Island bio, from News24.com (5/2/21):

"Yoga instructor and fitness professional Wardah Hartley (39) from Johannesburg: 'I officially celebrate four decades on the planet this year, and I have learnt plenty about myself and about how human beings behave,' she says. After having been a journalist for 20 years, she developed the ability to quickly connect and build trust with virtually anyone she meets. 'I wanted to put myself in an environment where I could put all of these valuable life lessons to the test – SurvivorSA is my masterclass,' she says."
