Okay wow, so I just spent my entire morning trying to figure this formula out!
The baseline of the equation graph would be the year 2000 for X (Birth years) & 0 for Y (Survivor seasons)
If you plug X for the year you were born
And Y = The season that aligns with your age…
Y = (-2)X + (200) if you were born on the first half of the year
Y - 1 = (-2)X + (200) if you were born on the last half of the year
In my case, I was born on September ‘98
So 98 x (-2) = -196
-196 + 200 = 4
Since I’m in the last half of the year, I have to subtract 1
4 - 1 = 3
My season is Africa!
That worked for me, born in 77, math worths out to season 46... only then did I realize I shouldn't have needed math... I'm 46 now and season 46 just aired! 😆
You’re a god! Beautiful math 🏆
29 for Season 29, SJDS. I wasn’t watching back then but hell yeah, Natalie Anderson! Who, herself, is less than a year younger than aka just *one season off* from twinning (see what I did there?) with me! Ha.
Note: I also realized that while my birthday is in June, technically the first half of the year, that’s after the spring season would’ve aired so I was a -1. And the math definitely checked out! Again, fantastic work, a morning well spent ✔️👏
>Since I’m in the last half of the year, I have to subtract 1
Sorry to be a stickler, but that would make the formula y+1=-2x+200 (or simply y=-2x+199) rather than y-1
Same boat, it looks like I line up with Micronesia/Gabon/Tocantins
I should've just looked at your username and saved myself the trouble of calculating it out
Lol totally! Also loving your username as well. I just started watching Big Brother about a month ago, and lived for the Renegade alliance. Dan is the actual GOAT🙌🏻
Oh that’s interesting! As someone born in June, I was 29 for 29, but wouldn’t turn 30 til right *after* 30. Summer birthdays come into play once again! Lol
If you had to use the season titles to make your social security number, which seasons would you use? Don't pull a hunter, put them in the right order for your ssn teehee!!
I was 7 during all of Pearl Islands aside from the finale (aired 2 days after my 8th birthday) and was 8 for the entirety of All Stars. The Vanuatu finale aired on my 9th birthday.
I was 9 when Vanuatu aired and turned 10 between Palau and Guatemala.
Funny because Vanuatu is one of my least favorite seasons but Palau is one of my favorites.
Well, there isn’t one for me. I was born shortly after Africa wrapped up filming but before it aired, so technically since Australian Outback was the most recent season then, I suppose me being 0 and Survivor being on Season 2 is the closest I will ever get lol.
12 for Panama, 13 for Cook Islands. Pretty cool, 13 is one of my favorite seasons and one of only 2 where I picked the winner in my family’s pool. We do it where we watch the premiere ep and have to pick somebody before it ends. The other was Maryanne in 42, so I had a long streak of misses!
I was 7 during Pearl Islands! I remember watching it live as well. Rupert was a hero and so cool to me at the time but now I just view him as a lovable weirdo haha
Is it possible I somehow missed having any seasons apply to me?
I turned 26 in between seasons 26 and 27. So I was 25 during Caramoan - FvF and 26 during BvW
Mine was Pearl Islands (7) and all I remember about it because I was so young and haven’t rewatched it is that it has Rupert and my parents loved watching him
The first time I watched Survivor was Palau. It was the episode in which Stephenie became the last member of her tribe… I was 10 when the season began, turned 11 before Guatemala aired later that year, and then turned 12 the next year while Panama was airing… so technically all 3 of those seasons I guess.
I was 30 during Philippines. I sent in an audition tape for that season too, given I was an aligned age and could have competed.
After watching that season, I was glad I didn't make it. That was a rough one.
I’m commenting really late but it’s taken me days to take the time to work this out (bc I haven’t been watching my whole life only recently got into it- and I have a summer bday which confused me further lol)
But mine are 22 and 23, interestingly enough, I just finished 22 and I’m almost done with 23 for the first time! (Enjoyed them both but 22 has def solidified my fondness of Boston Rob)
![gif](giphy|WRQBXSCnEFJIuxktnw)
LMAO i’m just not even able to process this question
well i discovered i was 8 for season 8 and my bday is on the 8th of the month and that’s always been my lucky number so love this post actually

Holy shoot, thanks! Math & science are all about peer review- awesome catch!
Mhhh… that formula is great!! But made me realize anyone born 2000 and up will never match. Dang it.
That's so cool, thanks! I got Vanuatu!
I was 4 during Marquesas and 5 during Thailand I didn’t like this as much as I thought
Same here, Marquesas is fairly good, Thailand is literally the worst
Watching Thailand for the first time right now, why is literally every man on this season an awful person??? Besides Ken
Thailand is arguably the most influential season for strategy to ever be played. The winner pioneers the goat
I’m watching marquesas right now !!
I was -3 when Borneo aired. Unless the show ends and starts up again years later, they won't line up for me in this way, lol.
same, 2003 babies! this only works if you were born before the show first aired
Yeah I was in the womb during borneo. So maybe I was one month womb-old at the same time as season 1?
Ok thanks ive tried to understand for what reason i couldnt figure it out only to understand it now (im good at math im just tied)
I’m way too young to even answer this question 😂
I am way to old.
Same lol
I was 17 for Gabon, and 18 for Tocantins.
Same for me. I line up with 17-19.
Same!
Same boat, it looks like I line up with Micronesia/Gabon/Tocantins I should've just looked at your username and saved myself the trouble of calculating it out
Lol totally! Also loving your username as well. I just started watching Big Brother about a month ago, and lived for the Renegade alliance. Dan is the actual GOAT🙌🏻
Not me also being a blue eyed Aquarius from 91
We live in the SMALLEST of worlds.
same! micronesia premiered just after i turned 17, so i almost got three in there
Oh that’s interesting! As someone born in June, I was 29 for 29, but wouldn’t turn 30 til right *after* 30. Summer birthdays come into play once again! Lol
I was one during season 1 and if season 2 had aired it’s finale just a few days later I would’ve turned two in time for it
I was 23 for season 23 (South Pacific!)
Me too!
If you had to use the season titles to make your social security number, which seasons would you use? Don't pull a hunter, put them in the right order for your ssn teehee!!
(Please don't actually do this)
Oh I'm gonna do it alright
I was 14 during Fiji and 15 during China
40 for WAW. What a time to be alive
I was 11 when Guatemala aired and 12 when Panama aired.

I’m too young for this
And I'm too old!
I was 7 during all of Pearl Islands aside from the finale (aired 2 days after my 8th birthday) and was 8 for the entirety of All Stars. The Vanuatu finale aired on my 9th birthday.

All stars I believe
I was 3 when Africa aired. :0
I turned 33 during season 33- MvG.
Season 44. That took some thinking
Micronesia and Gabon

20 during HvV and 21 during Nicaragua. (Can’t believe I just turned HHH 😳)
I was 10 for Palau and 11 for Guatemala
same!
36 & 37...
36 was actually the 1st season I ever watched, and after 37 I binged 1-35
I've only become a fan recently, but I still felt compelled to join in on this hahah. Looks like for me it was Panama (12) and Cook Islands (13).
Nicaragua (21), Survivor became legal drinking age the same year I did in The States.
None, because I was born in 2002.
5 years old for Thailand.
I was born while Guatemala was filming 💀
19 when Samoa aired
I was 9 when Vanuatu aired and turned 10 between Palau and Guatemala. Funny because Vanuatu is one of my least favorite seasons but Palau is one of my favorites.
I was 18 for the premiere of Tocantins, 19 when Samoa aired, and I was 20 when the finale of Heroes vs Villains aired.
Survivor 17 I was 17, Survivor 18 I was 18.

Same as yours
I turned 35 May 24th. Can someone math the math please? 🤭
Survivor Africa if I’m doing the math correctly
I was 7 for Pearl Islands and 8 for All stars, first two seasons I remember watching live as well 🙌
I was born the same month Borneo started airing, So I was technically 0 when Survivor was 0
Well, there isn’t one for me. I was born shortly after Africa wrapped up filming but before it aired, so technically since Australian Outback was the most recent season then, I suppose me being 0 and Survivor being on Season 2 is the closest I will ever get lol.
46! And it’ll line up for 47 since I’ll have had a birthday before the premiere.
12 for Panama, 13 for Cook Islands. Pretty cool, 13 is one of my favorite seasons and one of only 2 where I picked the winner in my family’s pool. We do it where we watch the premiere ep and have to pick somebody before it ends. The other was Maryanne in 42, so I had a long streak of misses!
I was 1 when Borneo aired! I technically watched it with my parents, but obviously I have no memory of seeing it live at all
I was 16 during season 16 (Micronesia)
i was born during Palau
I was 14 when Fiji first started, 15 during China, and just turned 16 when Micronesia ended
I turned 46 today, soooo…
I line up with 7 and 8! My two favorite seasons!! Pearl Islands and all-stars!
Way too much math. But, I think 20 for season 20? 31 in July, so, someone else can check that 🤣
I was 6 during the Amazon 😁
12 for Panama, 13 for Cook Islands
I was 20 for Heroes v. Villains
17 during Gabon.

I was 13 when cook islands aired and newly 14 when Fiji aired
1986: 27 in 2013 for first Blood v. Water 28 in 2014 for Cagayan Tyson and Tony are my winners for life
I was 27 during Blood vs Water and turned 28 during Cagayan.

I was 11 when the show started, so probably never.
9 for Vanuatu, 10 for Palau, 11 for Guatemala
redemption island and south pacific
I was 10 when Palau aired :)
I’m 19 and was born in 2004. I don’t think it’s gonna work for me that way until Survivor stops for good (which I pray it won’t)
I was 22 during Redemption Island and 23 during South Pacific.
Hopefully season 150
My dad was 33 during MvGX
Oh, shit. I turned 46 during the 46th season.
Born ‘98 so just season 4 at 4 years old ! Marquesas

It hasn't happened for me yet , thanks for another way to see how old I am 😂
I was 5 when season 5 dropped and turned 6 while season 6 was airing!
Is it possible I somehow missed having any seasons apply to me? I turned 26 in between seasons 26 and 27. So I was 25 during Caramoan - FvF and 26 during BvW
32 during BvBvB. Love 2 be old I guess
Damn unc
I was 18 for tocantins! Turned 19 for samoa
That took a while but Fiji! One of few seasons I’ve yet to see. Ngl was hoping it’d turn out to be Panama or Cook Islands but oh well
1 for season 1 and 2 for season 2!!
I was 2 for Australian Outback and 3 for Africa. Turned 4 during Marquesas
Gabon premiered when I was 17 and Toncantins aired fully when I was 18. I def had to reference the wiki haha
I was 16 for Micronesia and 17 for Gabon. Iconic.
I line up with Worlds Apart(30) and Cambodia(31).
I was 25 for 25... that just made my stomach hurt, it doesn't feel that long ago!
9 during S9 Vanuatu
We need a few more seasons for it to catch up to me.
I was 24 for season 24
Oh my lord…none.
None so far.
I think this would be easier if we had a chart with the month/year each season aired
I was 19 when Survivor: Samoa aired.
I was 13 when season 13 aired. Cook Islands! And Yul happens to be one of my favorite winners. How cool!
None lol
I’m 47 now so next season will match up, or do I need to say 40-several
I was 20 during HvV.
Because of the pandemic causing Survivor to miss a year, I have 3: Winners at War, 42, and 43.
Mine was Pearl Islands (7) and all I remember about it because I was so young and haven’t rewatched it is that it has Rupert and my parents loved watching him
I’m 19 rn so this doesn’t work for me cause it sure as hell isn’t 2009
I was 15 during China and 16 during Micronesia.
i was 2 for season 2 and 3 for season 3 lmfao
When 38 & 39 air they will
I was 12 when Panama aired and turned 13 midway through the Cook Islands.
The first time I watched Survivor was Palau. It was the episode in which Stephenie became the last member of her tribe… I was 10 when the season began, turned 11 before Guatemala aired later that year, and then turned 12 the next year while Panama was airing… so technically all 3 of those seasons I guess.
I was 30 during Philippines. I sent in an audition tape for that season too, given I was an aligned age and could have competed. After watching that season, I was glad I didn't make it. That was a rough one.
MvGX. I was a few months older than Will.
