About
During lockdown 2020, I watched a lot of Survivor.
I've created a database of player information pulled from the first 40 seasons of Survivor and crunched some numbers.
The code to the project, as well as a more technical breakdown to how I did everything, plus the database can be found here. If anyone wants to help keep this project up to date as new seasons air, I've included information in the Github on how to do that.
Acknowledgements
I started this database with data from Survivor Wiki, and added additional information to it.
And now...
