Are we to give any credence to MB's claim in a Today Show interview (1-30) that alliances were not a factor and there really weren't any? Everyone was for themselves because they knew the game? And, according to MB, "... some of the most pretty or good looking faces become the most dynamically mean."So far it looks like there aren't any real alliances and both tribes are split in their loyalties -within- their tribes. It seems likely no real alliances are going to develop even post-merger, and if they do, there may be selective organization to break up any forming alliances... the theory being to tear apart a potentially powerful tool (an alliance) that would keep an outsider from winning. Let's see how mean those "pretty faces" of Elisabeth and Amber become. Are they biding their time right now until they become utter cutthroats?
