The first week of Big Brother 28 has already produced multiple alliances, secret deals, and early showmances as houseguests race to secure numbers before the game truly begins.
While no alliance is guaranteed to survive the opening weeks, several groups have already emerged as the driving forces inside the house, with some contestants quietly building overlapping partnerships to strengthen their positions.
Dee and Devens Control the Early Game
Much of the early strategy has revolved around Dee and Devens, who have established themselves as one of the house’s strongest duos.
Rather than relying on a single alliance, the pair have created two separate groups, one designed to build genuine trust and another intended to gather information from potential rivals.

The Red Corner
The first alliance, known as The Red Corner, currently includes:
- Dee
- Devens
- Kamu Kirk
- Chuk Anyanwu
- Haley Thogmartin
Although the alliance appears legitimate on the surface, it is reportedly being used by Dee and Devens to monitor other strong competitors and assess where loyalties truly lie.
The Crossovers
Their second alliance, The Crossovers, is considered their primary strategic group.
Members include:
- Dee
- Devens
- Angela
- Barrett Pfeiffer
- Drew Campbell
Within this alliance, Dee and Devens remain each other’s closest allies, with Angela forming a trusted trio alongside them. However, their loyalty appears strongest to one another, suggesting that if difficult decisions arise later in the season, they may prioritize their partnership over any larger alliance.
Angela currently views the trio as one of the strongest positions in the house and has shown little concern about being left out.
A Showmance Sparks a New Alliance
Away from the larger strategic groups, Rome Seymour, Lyric Medeiros, and Jason De Puy have formed an alliance known as the Love Triangle.
The alliance is strengthened by the growing showmance between Rome and Lyric, who have already developed a close personal relationship inside the house.
Showmances often become major strategic factors in Big Brother, making this partnership one to watch as the season progresses.
Jason De Puy Expands His Social Game
Jason has quietly built relationships across several groups, making him one of the most socially connected contestants during Week 1.
In addition to the Love Triangle, he belongs to two other trios.
Court Jesters
Members include:
- Jason De Puy
- Drew Campbell
- Melody Morris
The trio has adopted the name Court Jesters and appears focused on maintaining strong social connections throughout the house.
Mamas Angels
Jason also works with:
- Rome Seymour
- LaTrice Verrett
Together, they have formed another alliance called Mamas Angels, giving Jason influence across multiple circles of the house.
An Informal Women’s Understanding
Not every agreement inside the house has become an official alliance.
Melody Morris, Mallory Aurichio, and Lyric Medeiros have discussed looking out for one another throughout the game.
While they have not formally named their group or committed to a long-term alliance, the understanding gives each of them additional social protection heading into future weeks.
Key Duos Emerging in Week 1
Alongside the larger alliances, several strong two-person partnerships have developed.
The current duos include:
- Dee and Devens
- Rome Seymour and Lyric Medeiros
- LaTrice Verrett and Taylor Brown
- Rome Seymour and Yash Patel
- Kamu Kirk and Chuk Anyanwu
- Chuk Anyanwu and Haley Thogmartin
Some of these partnerships exist alongside larger alliances, while others appear to be personal relationships that could influence future voting decisions.
Could Dee and Devens Become Targets?
Although Dee and Devens currently occupy one of the strongest strategic positions in the game, managing multiple alliances also creates significant risk.
Recent conversations revealed that Devens has already informed Angela and Drew about the existence of The Red Corner, potentially exposing the pair’s strategy of operating two separate alliances.
If other houseguests discover the full extent of Dee and Devens’ overlapping deals, the duo could quickly become major targets despite their strong social positions.
Week 1 House Dynamics
With numerous alliances already taking shape, the Big Brother 28 house remains highly fluid.
The strongest strategic positions currently belong to Dee and Devens, whose influence stretches across multiple alliances. Meanwhile, Jason’s extensive social network, Rome and Lyric’s developing showmance, and several emerging duos add additional layers to an increasingly complicated game.
As the first eviction approaches, these alliances will likely face their first real test, determining which groups remain loyal and which begin to fracture as the competition intensifies.
