About survivoR
A Survivor data package that keeps turning a TV show into a relational database
survivoR ships Survivor franchise data as R data frames covering the US, Australian, UK and New Zealand versions. Recent releases track broadcast: US48, US49 and US50 arrived across 2.3.6, 2.3.9 and 2.3.12, alongside AU09, AU12 and Australia vs. The World. The 2.3.12 release also reworked castaway_scores into an explicit three-tier structure - standardised residual scores, probabilistic scores bounded on [0,1], and combined scores - and added advantage_timeline as a long-format view of advantage movement.
