I re-watched the early episodes of PBB Collab and here are my new realizations:
1. The first alliance that was formed was the BOOK CLUB (AC, Kira, Charlie, AZ, and Josh) and their target was Ashley who was vulnerable because she did not have solid group.

- Why I hate Dustin Yu (from someone who is not a WillCa shipper and a recent fan of Will) - a thread I have seen a lot of people who are like him. And I can tell from the get-go he isn't someone who should be trusted. And here are the reasons:
- Replying to @Eimo0615884. Kira, despite her reserved and withdrawn reputation, all of a sudden becomes very articulate and talkative when it comes to backstabbing other people.
- Replying to @Eimo0615885. I was also reminded how irritated I was with Charlie. The Charlie who re-entered the house was different from the Charlie who was a member of Book Club. Either she rewired herself after learning about her reputation outside or that group is really toxic.
- Replying to @Eimo0615882. Pamilya De Guzman was not yet formed until after the 2nd eviction. Klarisse, Esnyr, and Brent became friends first but Mika was more close to Brent while Will was a wallflower.
- Replying to @Eimo0615883. Prototype PDG includes Ashley. She was becoming friendly with Esnyr & Klang who both defended her during the immunity voting. However, as I mentioned earlier, PDG is not yet a reality, so Ashley was still vulnerable. Had she stayed longer, it is likely she would be part of PDG
- Replying to @Eimo0615887. Mika became the next target of Book Club, which was the strongest alliance at that time because they were slowly drawing in Ralph as part of the group. She was vulnerable because she did not have PDG yet, but she weathered the storm through grace and was saved by immunity
- Replying to @Eimo0615889. Josh's eviction became the final nail of Book Club's coffin while Shuvee's arrival marked as the solidification of PDG as an alliance. At this point, Klarisse was the most popular HM in the house. PDG was hegemonic at this point & the only weak link was Brent.
- Replying to @Eimo06158811. ShuKla's eviction drastically weakened PDG's position but not too weak so as to secure at least half of Big 4. Fortunately for them, the intensity challenge worked for them as it resulted in the eviction of DusBi. Charlie & Ralph were unofficial PDG.
- Replying to @Eimo0615886. I now get why some HMs think Mika was being fake. She was really strategic throughout her stay in the house. At first she avoided being in the limelight like Ashley & Michael, just enough to just be noticed not to become like Will. She warmed up at the right time.
- Replying to @Eimo0615888. Book Club first evictee was AC but that did not weaken the group. The only time the group's strength was stopped was when the ChaKira duo was evicted. With only Josh and AZ remaining and Klarisse becoming the staple of the house, Book Club ceased to be the strongest alliance
- Replying to @Eimo061588I missed another one: 6. Misogynist. What really boiled my blood because of Dustin is the way he treats women: like a commodity. Remember how he talks about his preferred women and how it all changed? How he treats B? The way he manhandled Klarisse? For me, this is the worst.
- Replying to @Eimo0615881. He is manipulative. He has the ability to manipulate the people around him especially those weak-minded. But he isn't like those naturally likable people. Siya yung katrabaho mo na sinisterly manipulative na you cannot speak against.
- Replying to @Eimo06158810. PDG was so strong as an alliance that the only rival group (River, AZ, Dustin) was not even considered a group like PDG or Book Club earlier. So strong that they were doomed to cannibalize later on, but this was averted when ShuKla was evicted.
