Zen Heaton - Performance ranks
Tribal: VFB% percentile
3
Tribal: rVAP percentile
54%
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."

Zen Heaton - Bio
AU: Brains v Brawn II bio Official Ten AU: Brains v Brawn II bio excerpts (January 20, 2025):
"The youngest of all tribemates, Zen is a Hip Hop Artist from the Gold Coast who is constantly working on himself to be the best Zen.
Super fit and ready for the game, Zen is most looking forward to being one with nature and being in the moment compared to his fast-paced lifestyle in the real world.
But being someone who is so focussed and dedicated will also be Zen’s biggest worry and says, “Probably the hardest part of the game for me, personally, is going to be having to allow someone else to take control. Having to hide the testosterone levels and simmer down the level of intelligence and play, not dumb, but play under and allow someone to take the leadership position. This will be the hardest part.”
With a goal in his mind to win the game and gain new life skills, Zen will use all his strengths, physically and mentally, to get him to the end.
Zen says, “To win, I will definitely utilise my influence, persuasion and psychological tricks. I wouldn’t say manipulation but I’ll definitely be using my influence to get what I want.”"
