Black Widow Brigade

The Black Widow Brigade was the dominant alliance in the Dabu tribe during.

Comprised entirely of women, the Brigade used less than favorable tactics by giving the men of the competition the opportunity to stay longer if they voted with the group - only to have the intended target blindsided.

History
Before the Tribe Switch, the Favorites Amanda Kimmel, Cirie Fields and Parvati Shallow already have a pre-existing alliance. When Parvati was separated from the other two during the switch, not feeling safe, she saw that the fans Alexis Jones and Natalie Bolton were "tight", and she made an alliance with them with the assurance that Amanda will join them when the Merge comes. Amanda had seconds thoughts about Parvati putting her in an alliance without being there but was promised that she was not going to be out of the loop.

The alliance was officially named after the oust of Ozzy Lusth, by Parvati during a confessional, though Amanda did not vote with the group.

Trivia

 * The Black Widow Brigade is similar to an alliance in the second Fans vs Favorites season, the 1st Merge version of the Cool Kids Alliance, where allied Favorites recruited Fans when the tribes where switched, planning to unite them and blindside castaways and eventually get the majority. However, the plan failed and one of the Favorites of the planned counter-alliance was eliminated.
 * The alliance consisting of Kat Edorsson, Sabrina Thompson, Kim Spradlin, Chelsea Meissner, and to an extent Alicia Rosa and Christina Cha is viewed as a more recent version of the Black Widow Brigade.
 * Eliza Orlins is the only woman of Dabu to not be a member of the Black Widow Brigade.
 * Alexis Jones is the only member of the alliance that was blindsided by other members, out of the three voted out.
 * She is also the only female voted out before a male.
