I guess I'm over here as well and hoping it can achieve the critical mass needed to sustain people's interest.
Most people will know me for my data viz, R, and stats stuff. I'm also a runner, mountain biker, and a Dad. I mostly fit R around those other things!
Anyway, hi all 👋

I may regret asking this question, but should I watch #TheTraitorsUS, and is it worthwhile collating the data?

#Survivor 50 cast timeline. No new information here, just that I find it wild that there are 3 winners from the New Era and none from the Classic Era. I also just like this chart.

#Survivor 50 has the most experienced cast out of the 6 all returnee seasons based on total rounds survived, but the second most experienced based on avg rounds survived, behind WaW and close to HvV. A round is the time until a player leaves the game i.e. voted out, etc.

Honestly, I resisted doing this at the start of the season. I thought anyone who refers to themself as 'Riz God' is going to have to earn it. Consider it earned!

#Survivor49 final jury votes
What's interesting about this season is 6/8 jurors didn't vote for the person they voted with the most. Typically, we expect 2-3. Most of them away from Sage to Savannah or Sophi. It's a credit to Savannah's game. I'm glad Sage still got Jawan's vote though.

Yes, Savannah is very good at endurance based challenges. But all New Era seasons have had a puzzle in the final 5 immunity challenge. Levels the playing field a little.
So, if Savannah doesn't win, who does, and what happens at tribal council?

Although, my number 1 song has to be Rivers of Nihil - House of light. So good.
