This thread is dedicated to Liz! 
Appropropriately enough, I'm going to use it to keep track of my alliances.
This is my pre-game and it's good still, just not as robust as I would want right now. Nothing against either, I am hoping we continue to work together. However... I feel like Kelsey is at work planting all her little seeds and making alliances/relationships etc and not telling me. It's fine, I just want to keep an eye on her. Also, she is semi-active. She's active enough, just shows up when she needs to so I'm forming bonds with other people because of it. Steve is great. I love him, we just haven't talked that much since the game started. His HOH was reminiscent of Season 14 where he didn't really share what he was doing or why. This time I'm just trying not to freak out about it and, if I do, I won't let him know. I feel things are a bit forced, though. this was kind of apparent last night when he started asking all kinds of questions about my personal life but then didn't respond forever... until after I went to bed. Don't act like you're trying to get to know me but then not even respond to my answers. It was weird.
I LOVE Becky! I already said she was someone I wish I would've trusted more/worked with more in our season but hopefully we can make up for it now. She's easy to talk to and I feel like we're really on the same page. I brought Kelsey into our call N1 because I wanted Kelsey to trust me and feel like she's part of all my plans. AND since we already talked about wanting season 14 to have each other's backs so this seemed pretty natural. I listed this one second but right now I would put it above the first alliance as far as how I feel about how it can progress organically.
"JELLI"
This is my F2 with Jun. It kind of happened by accident but I love it because she's someone I love and who is strong. I want to work with her and at this point I really trust her. I probably talk to her the most right now, besides Porsche (because of cliques, and I'll get to her in a bit). Jelli could be a really good thing!
Zach and I talked about working together pre-game and making a secret alliance. While I love him and kind of trust him, things don't always flow that easily and he has made a few comments which make me think a bit. One of which was that he wanted to win the 2nd HOH to prove to me that he wants to work with me. It seemed weird that he said that because it's like, do you think I don't trust you? Idk. I still don't think he'd turn against me early on and I still really like talking to him. I'm just not sure and I know he's a very smart player and probably has other things going. Also, I know he put up Jen so Cody couldn't, and it turned out fine, but it kind of left me vulnerable to be put up by Cody, so I can't help having that in the back of my mind.
I almost just put Shelli/Porsche alone but this alliance formed today and I really like it. I was already getting very close to Porsche. We talk about how we are kind of similar in a lot of ways - as far as both of us being social players with medium challenge strength. We both have to try really hard to win things and it usually happens in mid-late season lol. Porsche has had some stress so far - being HOH week one and having Howard mad at her, and then being put up by Cody week two and having to win the BotB to get off the block. I feel like I've really supported her and I hope she knows I meant it. I love Porsche!
I also think Michael is fun and hilarious and was already leaning toward working with him. Then, today he told me he and Porsche had talked about making this a threesome. I'm all for it. Porsche had to stop me from making a chat in case they lost BotB and both stayed on the block as that would be awkward lol. Good for her, she was right. That is an example of how Porsche is a much smoother player than me so I appreciate having her around to remind me of this stuff and keep my game less messy than it could otherwise be. Anyway, I love this three but I think Michael is excited and not sure if Porsche is AS excited about it. Either way, I'm into it.
This alliance is not a set in stone thing but something we both talked about and I'm trying to involve him in other things if I can. It's hard since he's been less active lately but he should be back home now and more active. Anyway, I love Corey and want to work with him so we'll see where this goes.
Jen brought up being "pardners" last night and I'm good with this. I really love talking to Jen. She's very sarcastic and has a dry wit which I can relate to. We are currently watching BBUS7 together on a share site lol. Anyway, she's on the block this week and if she stays against Tiff I am definitely hoping she stays.
This is it so far but I'll add/update more as it goes...
