I finally got caught up on season 46. After stumbling on a discussion on /r/survivor about generational^1^ participation and play styles I decided to waste a whole bunch of time and pulled together some data^2^. I thought it was interesting and thought I’d share.

Miscellaneous

  • Only Gen X has appeared in every season
  • Only Season 32 had a representative from all 5 Generations
  • Seasons 3, 28, 35, and 40 only had 2 Generations represented
  • Season 33 was "Gen X vs Millennials" but had a Boomer and a Zoomer (by USC Standards)

^1^ Generations are arbitrary, inconsistent, and ill defined. I used USCs definitions ^3^ for no particular reason other than I had to pick something

^2^ A contestant is counted for each appearance in a season at the age of their appearance in each season. Contestant’s generation was determined by minus . Age and Filming dates were sourced from Wikipedia
