Depression Era

== Summary ==
Depression Era is an alliance from Second Chance and arguably the most successful alliance of The Gauntlet as every member made the finale.
== History ==
The alliance was first connected on Day 5 when Jessica joined the Amaral Tribe and aligned with Emilee and Simon. At the merge, Shannon and Megan joined them, but they kept this separate chat because they did not completely trust the two girls. Thus, the Depression Era was officially born as an alliance. Their instincts were soon proven correct on Day 13 when Shannon and Megan backstabbed the alliance and voted off Jessica, sending her to Redemption Island. After Simon won the next immunity challenge, however, they dug themselves out of the hole and Jessica returned to the game. Emilee was able to get Allyson on their side to vote Megan off next before setting their sights on Shannon. Unfortunately, Shannon won the next immunity challenge, so the alliance had to let Allyson go. After Jessica defeated Shannon in Hands On An Idol, the alliance voted them off and all three of them made the finale. They each received one jury vote, but ultimately, Jessica won by a 4*-3-1 vote.
