Ride or Die
Ride or Die is the fan name for a 4-castaway voting bloc on Survivor 43, recorded as forming on day 1. Cody Assenmacher is credited with starting it. It held together long enough to make Mike Gabler the winner.
Survivor does not name alliances on screen, so this name and this roster are a fan convention rather than an official record. Placements and days below are from our own season data.

 Cody Assenmacher | Founder | Days 1 to 23 | 13th voted out |
