And we know from the Insider that Jonathan (and presumably Eliza) were closer to Alexis, while Parv was\is closer to Nat.
craig, we don't fully know the alliance dynamics of the nuAirai because they've never been to TC, which is where true alliances come out (or not).
Actually, Jonathan told a funny story that gives some insight into what would have been their alliance had they gone to TC while he (and Kathy) were still
there.
"That first night sitting around drunk on cheap wine, good meat and pain killers, I was sitting with Eliza and some of our new tribemates around a fire,
eating talking etc. Eliza gets up and I want to talk strategy with her. So I waited a beat so it wouldn't be too too obvious and went over to her in the
shadows, she's silently standing there and I say something like, 'I'll sleep with Kathy and see what I can learn and you sleep with the others with
Parviti and James and make sure they don't work the rest of these fans too hard - we'll need them right?' And she sort of implied yup and I
wandered off so as not to be busted with her. Well, I wander off a few yards to the other fire, and who do I run into but…. Eliza! My
f'reaking stomach drops out as I realize I was talking to someone else in the shadows! Turns out it was Natalie, and I spent the whole
damn night listening to Kathy with one fascinated ear [alone in the small shelter] while trying to figure out what the hell I was going to say to Natalie the
next morning… Well I found her very early and sort of b.s.ed about how I'd known immediately I wanted to work with her and wanted to see what she'd do
and asked how'd it go with the others that night? and truly, though I have no idea if she knew I was full of it, by the end of the next day, she,
Alexis, Eliza, and I were ready to go... at least that's what I thought… future episodes will tell us all what happened… anyway an all time
idiotic move on my part… but I thought a pretty funny slip up…"
That was awhile ago, and who knows what Natalie really would have done, but it could be that Natalie was on Eliza's side before Parv got to her. If Natalie has any sense at all, she would go with Eliza and Jason to boot James. If I were Parvati, I wouldn't want to risk it. If I were Amanda, I wouldn't want to either.
