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.
Members
| Castaway | Role | In the alliance | Finish |
|---|---|---|---|
 Stephanie Valencia | Loyal to the end | Days 1 to 17 | 6th voted out |
 Krista Klumpp | Loyal to the end | Days 4 to 14 | 5th voted out |
 Russell Hantz | Founder | Days 1 to 10 | 3rd voted out |
Roles come from the fan record: a founder started the group, a member who stayed loyal voted with it to the end, one who left the group drifted out of it, and one who turned on it broke ranks before the game was over.
