Coupled with the fact that if you want to break the disagreement, you have to convince your other alliance members as well, I don't think we'll see very many teams breaking this agreement.

That's why you break the noodle agreement in the semis, against the number 1 seed. I'm not saying I endorse this, just talking through the strategy involved. Because at that point the noodle agreement could be the determiner between who moves on and who stays, so backstabbing the top alliance has pros. And then next competition, chances are very few people know you did it, or maybe they do and that effects you, but in the short term you get a blue banner. It's a very dangerous situation, and one of the few things I'm really looking forward to seeing play out.
