Instead, I want to share with you something I was working on near the end of Rivals. In an effort to figure out who were the best Challengers, I took down the records of all competitors who competed in four or more seasons through last season. I admit that I need a life. This kind of thinking was why my recaps used to take so long to compile . . . I needed to get every statistic I could. The website that "employed" me for four seasons didn't appreciate the attention to detail, but maybe you will.
Before I copy and paste the table here, I want to set up the categories:
Team: This includes all missions where the player was with a team. Also, it includes the final missions from Battle Of The Seasons, Battle Of The Sexes and The Island, where the competitors were competing as teams instead of by themselves.
Solo/Duel: This includes all missions where the player was competing by themselves or partnered with another. This includes Battle Of The Sexes; while the men and women got prizes, it depended on which player performed the best.
Endgame: This is my word for any and all challenges where the winner stays in the game, while the loser is booted off the show. This does not include the Face-Offs from The Island; the winner of the one-on-one-on-one challenge stayed, while the losers were subjected to a vote from the rest of the players.
I didn't combine the team and solo/duel records for the players. My reasoning was that team records would be akin to standings of a sports league, while solo/duel would be more akin to a batting average in baseball (hits divided by at-bats). I did combine endgame results, just to see who keeps heading back into jeopardy. For instance, while Aneesa isn't anywhere near the best player I've seen, I was surprised that her endgame record is 7-3. Yes, I'm counting the time she was supposed to face Bad Beth & Beyond in Gauntlet 2, only to have that waste of genetic material quit giving Aneesa the win by forfeit.
The table is complied alphabetically, by the number of seasons participated. These statistics are unofficial; I would have to recheck the figures, and I don't know if I have the patience to do it all over again. Any and all feedback would be appreciated.
