Based purely on Relationship Spec and Game Logic:

1) Eliza, Jonathan, and Yao-Man have an obvious affinity. Two smart talkative Jews. Jonathan has a new Canadice and a new Yul. Eliza loved Yul and Jonathan in S13. The Brains alliance.

2) Ozzy is friendly with Parvati and he better work with James or both will end up as isolated again. Parvati likes strong guys, James can be her new Nate. The Brawn alliance.

That leaves Ami, Amanda, and Fairplay to decide who controls the vote.
Ami is friendly with Eliza, but may not want Jonathan to run the show. She won't let him boot a strong girl (Parvati) over JFP, and he probably would need her and Amanda as the 4th and 5th votes to make that happen. Ozzy and James won't vote for the girl most likely to be their buddy.

Amanda - her and James plus Ozzy and James would be a strong foursome. Parvati will want her as an allies, and so will Ami and Eliza. The big question is whether her and James could work together again. However Ozzy and James are too strong to target at the the beginning.

Fairplay - the most likely 1st boot. He made enemies of Eiza and Ami at the S9 finale, Jonathan will be hate him, and it will be hard for him to forget ties with Ozzy or James. It's as if Probst and Julie set him up to get owned.

Parvati and Jonathan are the next most vulnerable. Jonathan is the weakest male in challenegs next to JFP. Taking out Parvati would be a move similar to booting Cecilia in S13 (weakening Ozzy but keeping his strength in the game).

However, the ASS 9 are a strong group. Maybe they only go to TC nce before there is tribal shuffle. I could see them doing that after 2-5 episodes. They'll want to ASS and newbies to work together since a pagoning could ruin the season.
