Top 25 Survivor players by number of castaways they shared a season with
A connection is defined as two castaways appearing on the same season of
Survivor (US). Each pair is counted once, regardless of how many seasons the two shared or
whether they were ever on the same tribe, sharing a tribe is tracked separately as a badge
on player pages. A player's connection count is the number of distinct castaways
they have played with, so it grows with every new cast they meet. Counts are computed at
build time from the same dataset that powers
the interactive graph; see
about the data for sources and downloads.
