This is a new incarnation of the Survivors metathread, created because I cannot edit the original. Below is a list of the Survivor threads that have ended on or after April 3, 2020, followed by the contents of the OP from the original metathread. Finally, there is a link to the original metathread; it had some good suggestions in the posts that I will keep in mind.
So, then, as with the original, this is a collection of prior survivor threads, brackets, and polls started by the dear, departed Lowkey, and, for unknown reasons, carried on by me. Let's see if anyone notices anything.* Disclaimer: these are posted out of fun and interest, and these are not meant to prove anything, they are obviously not representative samples, etc. Without further explanation-
