Boran Alliance
Boran Alliance is the fan name for a 5-castaway voting bloc on Survivor 3 (Africa), recorded as forming on day 20. Lex van den Berghe is credited with starting it. It held together long enough to make Ethan Zohn 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.
