What's the current alliance structure right now?

I'll take a stab at this:

J/J:  solid pair
Brenchel:  one of them goes this week, probably brenda because he is too stupid to realize he can go further in the game than Rachel, who will be a hotmess in there by herself.
Dani:  has Kalia and Lawon crawling up her ass, but whether they stay there if they are out of power on Thursday is up in the air.
Porsche:  her first loyalty WAS to Rachel and Brenda, but not sure now since she thought Brenda should throw the veto to her this week to ensure her safety.  WTF?    I think she is now exploring her options
Shelly:  firmly crawled up the butt of J/J, but I think she really wants to go to the F3 with them.  I think she thinks she can win the final HOH and take jordan with her, then count on the jury to not let jordan win again. 
Adam:  Does weekly deals.  Prefers J/J over Brenchel.  Looks good in his elf suit

Next week, this will all shift depending upon who wins HOH and if BB rotates another hamster back in the game.  I think things will be slightly more defined after the next HOH week.  This season reminds me a bit of BB4 when things shifted all over the place, mainly because of Allison and Jun clearing the table secretly using warring house guests as their weapons.

This is not a season like 5, 6 and 8, where there were clearly defined sides early in the game.  The "sides" here are a bit more fuzzy, as the noobs have been trying to latch onto their favorite vet, and each vet tries to protect its noob.  Dani's HOH and blowing up her vet alliance position put the blurs into this game. 

I really expect that Rachel's jealousy and insecurities are such that she will start to target J/J immediately because I am sure she is going to use some circular logic and place all the blame on them that she lost her partner in this HOH cycle, assuming Brenda vetoes her off the block.

This season is pecking orders not alliances where everyone sort of lines up with the vets and loyalty to and from them.

If we were to chart it

Dani* - Kalia - Lawon - x - Adam - Jordan x XJeffXShellyXPorscheXRachelXBrendon
Jeff** -   Jordan - Brendon - Shelly -  Adam - Rachel - XLawonXPorscheXKaliaXDani
Jordan*** - Jeff - Shelly - Rachel - Brendan - Lawon - Porsche - Adam - Dani - Kalia
Rachel**** - Brendon - Porsche - Jordan x Jeff  - Shelly - Adam x XLawonXKaliaXDani
Brendan**** - Rachel - Jeff - Porsche - Jordan -  Shelly - Adam - XLawonXKaliaXDani

And then with the newbs it's a grouping circle

    Porsche ******
   /          : :
Adam - Shelly
  |      /     _ _ _
Lawon - Kalia
   \          /
   (Porsche)

And with the vets it's more of a grouping line

Dani ______Jordan/Jeff - Brendon ---- Rachel

* Daniele - would be put up by most of the house, she has maybe's with Jordan and Adam, Adam might find it better to go after someone like Kalia, Jordan might honor her agreement and put Lawon or Porsche on the block in her place. 

** Jeff -  Jeff's got four groupies right now, Rachel he's working with for now but that's tense, Lawon and Porsche are both elimination options for Jeff, but Dani's still his number one (he's likely throwing the next HOH)

*** Jordan - is safe from everyone and to everyone people are trying to get with Jordan.

**** Brenchel - has the three clear eliminations, Brendon is in better social standing with the group by Rachel has closer partners in Porsche and Jordan

***** Porsche and the newbies are very dysfunctional, Porsche and Adam are alligned by default, Porsche and Shelly aren't close but they could be in either alliance, Lawon is both cool with everyone and disposable, Adam is under the radar and safe but he's not really viewed as a member of an alliance.  The Newb's could align if Shelly or Kalia leaves
