Well, all I can say now for the alliances are the following ([F] means former, [R] means reneged, [L] remained loyal; usually when blindsided, [A] is affiliate):

Paul's Posse - Chris, Sunday, Bret, Jessica[F], Paul[L], Lucy[L] Notes: Sunday, Lucy and Jessica blindsiding Paul was seen immediately as a "one-off vote", as we did see Jessica voting for what the alliance made to her to believe (CeCe) while blindsiding Jessica was a way for Lucy & Sunday to get the trust of Bret & Chris back.

Freaks & Geeks - Mari[L], Adam, Hannah, Zeke[F/R?] ''Note: This is a tricky part for me. The Freaks & Geeks were abolished practically when Hannah and Adam went against Zeke -- it's like the Andrea blindside in Caramoan, where even when she tried to blindside an alliance member (albeit an affiliate) in Brenda, she still needed the numbers of other fellow alliance members. Here, Zeke detected the "betrayal" that he reneged from it, and at the same time Hannah & Adam booted him out.

Also, after the Mari boot, we really didn't see Hannah as being part of the Nerds again until only the start of the Merge (and seemingly was OK in Michaela's F4 alliance, which excludes Adam & Zeke). I say she's part of the alliance during their creation until the Mari boot, and returned back at the start of the merge until the end (v. 2.0 w/ Adam).''

Triforce - Jay, Michelle, Figgy, Taylor, Michaela[A], Hannah[A], Will[A] ''Notes: Even if the show does show that Triforce are Jay, Figgy and Taylor, we do know that Michelle was the fourth there. Michaela & Will were the swing votes, but Will being quite loyal with Jay makes him an alliance member.

HOWEVER, we could argue that sure, he voted with them for two times, but after he was found in the minority after the Michelle boot, he decided to jump out of Jay and plotted with Zeke instead. Not only that, after siding with Jay again in the Jessica boot, he decided to still do his own thing and voted out Zeke. He wasn't planning to bring Jay to the end, so when I think about it, he's really more of a free-agent throughout the game, just that he's just so close with Jay (which IMO is more of a minor alliance, not fully connected with Triforce) on most of those moves.''

Outcasts - David, Ken[R on Day 38], CeCe[L], Jessica[L] ''Notes: All we know is that Ken and David are a solid sub-alliance, starting from that 1st vote where they worked with Posse. However, is it possible they voted against Rachel as being part of the split, or was it a way to protect CeCe? There were interviews saying that Ken actually made this alliance of misfits, so maybe Rachel and CeCe were included. Also, remember that CeCe voted against David -- if it was an alliance, David and Ken would've phoned that info.

If CeCe is to be included, we should put her at the start of the Paul boot episode, which from what I remember was the first realization that the three in the minority had to unite and find a way. They also worked together to blindside Lucy, and I think Ken voted against Jessica to save himself.

A solid reason why CeCe should be included is David's reason to use the idol on Jessica -- saving Jessica will potentially give David another ally, creating a new majority in Gen X vs. Posse if they didn't switch. The switch however messed up with Outcasts in minority, forcing David to vote out CeCe.

I guess Jessica should be included in the alliance as a regular since that idol save (starting from her showing loyalty to Ken).''

Any other comments?
