Regarding alliances, it's tricky stuff especially early in the game. I think we all agree that it can actually be a detriment to your game to appear "too strategic" too early by forming random alliances just because. I think what is more likely to be happening at this stage of the game is for people to be feeling out who they feel they can work with; who they have connected with on a personal level to since the game started; who they feel will help further their game.

As that happens, alliances sort of naturally spring up. I think if you are heading to first tribal and you haven't starting thinking about plans and who you want to work with, you aren't playing Survivor. Yangra might still be singing Kumbaya over there after their immunity win, but Makalu has a tough decision to make right off the bat. Of course alliances are going to factor into the decision!
