Survival Analysis
It was another great season. Season 1 started off rough with a few early taps, but those in season 2 hung around for a little longer which shows in the survival chart. While the average days lasted is longer for season 2, Gina still holds the record for lasting 67 days.
Over the next few weeks, I’ll update my analysis comparing the US and AU versions.
Two key pieces of information missing from the data are the full names of the contestants and the loadouts for AU. I haven’t been able to find this data anyway. If you do come across it, let me know and I can add it to the package.
Alone Season 11
Alone season 11 has just started and will be available after the season. In the meantime, you can see the results and grab what data is available from Google Sheets.

Analysis of Alone Australia Season 2 Data Now Available
Data from Alone Australia Season 2 has been packaged and is now available for analysis. The data can be accessed via Git or CRAN. This data provides not only the survival chart information but also offers the opportunuity to compare it with the previous seasons. An interestesting finding from the analysis is that the contestants in season 2 lasted generally longer than those in the inaugural season, with Gina setting a record of lasting for 67 days.
Long-term implications and Future Developments
The data gathered provides an in-depth understanding of each survival test’s dynamics in the series. This opens up a spectrum of possible future research and developments. For starters, it presents an opportunity for an analytical comparison between different seasons. Additionally, it allows the understanding of any learning curves, skill improvements, or changes in tactics employed by the contestants in subsequent seasons. As the data for the recent Alone season 11 is also planned to be available after the season ends, ongoing analysis will be possible.
Contestant Information Not Complete
However, it’s notable that some critical data, including the contestants’ full names and their respective loadouts for Alone Australia, are currently missing. If this information can be found, it will add another layer of depth to the analysis. The added context will help better understand the connection between a contestant’s survival kit and his or her performance on the show.
Actionable Advice
For those willing to dive into the data analysis, here are a few suggestions:
- Stay updated on the available datasets by checking the repository frequently. This would ease the process of downloading and using the data in your analysis.
- If you come across the missing information (i.e., contestants’ full names and loadouts), ensure to share it so the datasets can be updated and enriched.
- Do not limit yourself to the provided datasets. Look for supplementary data that can add another layer to your analysis, like weather conditions or isolated events during the filming of the series.
Continuing all these will help create a richer and holistic analysis of the Alone series, yielding interesting correlations and findings, increasing the shared knowledge on survival patterns and strategies, and possibly helping future contestants prepare better.
