With Double Agents debuting Wednesday, I decided to create this quick list/breakdown of the pre-existing friendships and enemies. Something important to note is that some players are very dynamic social and political players but don’t have many set allies or allegiances as they prefer to make their deals once the game is actually getting played. Meanwhile, some of the players with tons of alliances inherently have a bigger target on them. I tried to estimate based on past shows, social media news before the season, and some preseason promo videos. If you check current social media behavior, there might be relationship/alliance spoilers there; however, I try to ignore that because we will see those relationships play out on our screen during the season.

Something I did back for Dirty 30 was I outlined every single players previous hookups. For those who love the gossip, I list all players known/on-screen hookups. I didn’t include stuff that was only a simple make-out that obviously didn’t lead to more, or there’s no reason to believe more happened.

The asterisks *** are for Unconfirmed but highly rumored hookups.

Also, when it comes to allies, I set it up by #1 male and #1 female because while they all play on the same season, the games usually separate at different points by gender. If a player has a 100% #1 ally to them, I make sure to put that name in bold.

Important Rookie Alliance/Hook Up Notes:

  • Natalie and Jay are linked as Survivor buddies.
  • Liv and Big T had conflict on Shipwrecked, but Liv needs allies.
  • Mechie used to date/be FWB with Blac Chyna.
  • Amber B as a Big Brother player will likely have some Big Brother alliances.
  • Lolo did Champs vs Pros with Ashley, Wes, CT, and Darrell.
  • Amber M was on the sexually fluid AYTO, hooks up with both men and women .

DISCERNABLE MULTI-PERSON ALLIANCES

Young Bucks 2.0 (Cory, Nelson, Fessy, Jay)
Alliance Strength: 8.5/10
Alliance Trust: 6/10

In theory, Fessy and Jay are massive improvements over Hunter as alliance members because they can solve puzzles and won’t be getting into as many idiotic fights. Alone these guys are flawed individuals, but together they can make a formidable alliance. The problem is, Fessy and Jay know that Nelson and Cory are each other’s ride or dies. They may stray. An interesting wrinkle is Darrell said in his preseason promo that he would likely be linking up with the Young Bucks. Wes and Devin also have a good relationship with Nelson, which adds another layer to the game.

Covid Crew or Miami Party Squad (Fessy, Kaycee, Josh, Jay?)
Alliance Strength: 7/10
Alliance Trust: 8/10

Fessy aligned with Cory and Nelson on Total Madness, but he spends more time outside the house with his Big Brother people. The guy was partying in Miami this Summer with Kaycee and Josh. Kaycee, Fessy, and potentially Jay is a decent trio. Add in Josh as a number and you’re working with something.

Team Kamroy (Kam, Leroy, Kyle, Nany)
Alliance Strength: 8/10
Alliance: 9/10

As the brains of the alliance, Kam is willing to call the shots and has three allies willing to work under here. Nany and Leroy give absolute loyalty. Kyle might be a bit snaky, yet, his strategic and social game are good assets.
