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."

Whitney Duncan - Bio
Survivor 23 logo  S23: South Pacific

Excerpts from her official CBS South Pacific bio page:

"Personal claim to fame: My first record "Right Road Now" was released on Warner Brothers in 2010. It's definitely my biggest achievement to date.

Inspiration in life: Jesus and Elvis because they both inspired me in such different ways. Elvis is the reason I started singing and performing. And, Jesus saved me.

Survivor contestant you are most like: Stephenie from Palau because she's smart and a bad-ass.

Why you think you will be the sole Survivor: I'm extremely competitive and love to win. People normally like me, and I feel like I can read them well."
