Here's a summary for Brooke's strategic gameplay:

'Days 1-2 - No alliance, as Brooke wasn't scared of getting eliminated (since they kepy winning)

Day 3 - Due to the team switch and getting seperated from Eddie (who while she didn't have an alliance with him, they were allies due to friendship), so she formed one with Bronywn, but she ended up getting voted off later.

Day 4 - Formed an alliance with Ulrich (and by associasion, Shaq), as Brooke thought that Ulrich was her only hope left. Was forced to vote out Eddie due to him being a threat, but he played an idol.

Day 5 - Tried to vote him out again, but Shaq ultimately ended up getting more votes (presumably due to another alliance, though I'm not sure).

Day 6 - Voted out Brunabi due to her being a strategic threat (who, as a side note, ended up asking Brooke for help, but Brooke- while saying she'd vote for someone else- still voted for her).

Day 7 - Tried to form an alliance with Eddie as he was her and Ulrich's only hope left (she suspected Frann and Max as having an alliance), but he ended up betraying them and voting out Ulrich.

Day 8 - She and Eddie really did end up getting an alliance, when she voted for Max instead (as he did recognize Eddie as still being her only hope, eliminating her), saving him by forcing it into a tie breaker.

Day 9 - She managed to convince Eddie to vote out Frann instead due to her saving him Day 8 and the fact that she would probably only Ulrich's vote due to being unlikeable, while Frann was proving to be moderatly popular among the eliminated contestants.

Day 10 - She tried to sweet talk everyone into voting for her instead (and failed as she already had Ulrich's and Shaq's votes practically guaranteed, but she did almost manage to get Frann's vote, which would have forced a tie).
