  We consider social networks of competing agents that evolve dynamically over
time. Such dynamic competition networks are directed, where a directed edge
from nodes $u$ to $v$ corresponds a negative social interaction. We present a
novel hypothesis that serves as a predictive tool to uncover alliances and
leaders within dynamic competition networks. Our focus is in the present study
is to validate it on competitive networks arising from social game shows such
as Survivor and Big Brother.
