Closet Picks

Between the visits

Who overlaps with whom

Everything here compares one visit with another: the choices that travel in pairs, the guests with the same shelf in mind, and the ones the rest of the series followed.

Picked together

Lift is how often two things are taken together against how often two things that popular would coincide by chance. A lift near 1 just means two popular choices met.

Closest taste

Jaccard overlap between what two guests chose. Guests filmed together are left out: 31 pairs shared one list and would otherwise score a perfect 1.00 against each other.

Got there first

Being first is partly being early: the 2010 and 2011 guests had an empty field. Read this as who the series followed, not as who has the best taste.

Obscure and obvious

Popularity is how many visits took the same thing, counted at the level of what was chosen. A box set is one choice, not its contents.

Came back

Overlap is the share of everything a guest has ever chosen that they chose on every visit. Counted at item level, so returning for the same box set counts as repeating one choice.
