Don't just survive the week.
Optimize the season.
The ClevAnalytics Survivor Optimizer treats Survivor the way it should be treated: as a full-season optimization problem. It combines win probability, projected ownership, future team value, pool survival and contest rules to help build your strongest path through the season. But the numbers are only part of the puzzle—each week's team options are also evaluated through a qualitative lens, with detailed writeups providing additional context behind the selections.

A Survivor tool built around winning the pool.
Picking the biggest favorite is easy. Understanding what using that team costs you later, how much of the field is making the same selection and how your choices fit together across the season is the hard part.
Full-Season Path Optimization
Evaluates future pick combinations instead of treating every week as an isolated decision.
Survival-Adjusted Ownership
Future public pick percentages are based on the entries projected to still be alive when that week arrives.
Future Team Value
Measures the opportunity cost of using a premium team now versus preserving it for a stronger future situation.
Leverage vs. the Field
Balances win probability with projected public selections to identify opportunities to differentiate from the pool.
Multiple Optimization Goals
Optimize for pool winnings or choose a more survival-focused path depending on your objective.
Circa + Multiple Pool Formats
Built for standard Survivor pools, Circa Survivor, Splash-style formats and custom double-pick requirements.
Used Teams + Locked Picks
Enter the teams you've already used and lock future selections when you want the optimizer to build around a specific strategy.
Recommended + Backup Options
Compare multiple current-week choices and see the fully re-optimized future path created by each selection.
Week 18 Flexibility
Assume normal Week 18 motivation or keep Week 18 open so uncertain late-season circumstances don't unnecessarily consume a valuable team.
Why it's different.
Most Survivor analysis starts and ends with the current slate. ClevAnalytics evaluates today's decision in the context of everything you may need later.
Typical Survivor Approach
- Sort teams by moneyline or win probability
- Focus primarily on the current week
- Use static public pick percentages
- Give limited consideration to future opportunity cost
- Pick the biggest favorite and move on
ClevAnalytics Survivor Optimizer
- Models the entire remaining Survivor path
- Accounts for future team value
- Adjusts future ownership for projected surviving entries
- Balances survival probability with leverage
- Accounts for contest structure and double-pick weeks
- Provides recommended and backup paths
Survivor is a full-season optimization problem.
Stop asking only who is safest this week. Start evaluating which sequence of decisions gives you the strongest path toward being the last entry standing.
