Let's start a new alliance

I have never seen a cast that thinks if they meet with a different group of people to talk about an eviction they need to start a new alliance as a result. I swear every time Cirie talks to anyone, she proposes a new alliance. She wants to be sure she is aligned with EVERYONE in the house. Apparently she doesn't realize that being in an alliance does not GUARANTEE you safety. In fact the more word gets around that you are forming new alliances every day, the more people want you gone or does she not remember Kirsten the first week?

Jared is almost as bad. He changes shit up every day. Cory called him out on his new proposal today saying that it would never work because Izzy and Cirie don't want Jared attached to Blue and he said he knew that. At this point, the only SOLID thing I see in the house is that Jared is Cirie's son and Izzy knows about it. Other than that, it doesn't seem like anyone is really WITH anyone for real. Oh, of course there is the lusting that Jared is doing after Blue too, how could I forget?

Alliances this early in the game seldom last. I think waiting until after jury is the best way to go. But you have to be careful about it and still develop relationships. And of course, if someone else proposes an alliance to you, never, ever say no to it.

The problem with Cirie and her 10,000 alliances will be keeping straight who is in what alliance

Yes, the early ones rarely last because people always think they have to have 7 or 8 people to be sure they have the numbers. Smaller alliances have a good chance if they are managed properly. When you need votes various people can work on those with outside relationships. It is also important not to spend all your time with only alliance members, fan out and talk. These are obvious things but people don't seem to get it when they get into the house.

Cirie wants to be aligned with everyone in the house and those people HAVE to be loyal, but she can switch people in and out at will. She finally has a group that includes Cory and Jared (something she has been trying to do since the game started) so maybe she will calm down now. The problem is all this was set up while Izzy was in the DR and Izzy told Cirie last night that she doesn't trust half of the people in their new 8 person alliance so it is a rocky start already.

Cory said it best. If Cirie and Izzy are already freaking out and then calming down, it will happen 3 or 4 more times before Thursday night.
