Methodology
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.
