We had a good alliance, and maybe we can work together in Atlanta. I'd love the chance to walk around in one of those pink wigs!

I'm pretty sure teams pick their alliance partners based on more than wins/losses and rankings. If that were the case, the top 8 would pick each other and only the top 24 teams would ever have a chance of going to the finals rounds. As that's not the case, I'm sure everyone has their reasons for picking - or not pinking in this case - who they did.
