Or, in original tribe configuration, the two teams are even, aren't they?

You left off Brandon...the best (most reliable member) that alliance has.
Certainly, Brandon is tighter (more trustworthy) with BJ/Danni than Gary is.

Depends on how you view strength and whose perspective you are looking at.
Gary had a stronger alliance with Amy than BobbyJon. Amy always showed her
ability to stay true to an alliance. Danni and BobbyJon have already shown
that they will flip with the wind. gary has shown he will flip with the
wind. Basically, Brandon is the only player on that side that still looks
trustworthy.

The questions for next week are:

Would Stephenie/Jamie/Rafe/Lydia want to return to Gary's side even though
he let his original alliance crumble to nothing? I can see Stephenie/Jamie
still clinging to Gary, but the other two better recognize that Gary's
mindset is not in their best interest.

Will Judd hook back up with Brandon and BobbyJon? I think that this is
almost guaranteed. The question is: who can they bring with them now that
Blake is gone? Jamie, Gary, Danni, and Stephenie all look like the
potential fourth. Gary is probably the most likely candidate just because
he is male (I don't think Judd can do too well with women as partners) and
it looks like the Judd/Jamie lovefest may be ending soon from the previews.

Will Lydia, Cindy, and Rafe allign together to protect the 'weak' or will
they just sit around and be the next three players picked off? Right now,
the three of them have the potential to be a swing voting block...but I
wonder if Cindy can emerge from the same funk that Margaret was in before it
is too late. I also wonder if Rafe/Lydia have enough gameplay in them to
realize that they need to do more than cling to someone's side and get
used/disposed.
