### Creation

Ken The Ivysaur had scored the first Head of Household power of the season and was looking for a way to exercise his power while having a safety net of players to fall back on. Ken recruited 5 other members for a solid alliance of 6 members, who came from all different regions, hence their name "The Globetrotters".

### History

With Ken's power giving him a lot of publicity in the house, he recruited five other houseguests to join this alliance: Irene The Jigglypuff, Tina The Whimsicott, Easton The Cubone, Jennifer The Baile Style Oricorio, and his new showmance Carla The Froslass. Ken was needing some ideas in order to keep his alliance safe, and was unsure of what two nominees could be the safest bet. The Globetrotters ultimately decided their Week 1 target was Sean The Larvitar. When Sean scored the veto, Carla had suggested that Keifer The Oshawott could be the backup target instead, much to Jennifer's dismay. The alliance started to take sides in the argument, and the first cracks in the group began to form. After bouncing between Keifer or Lucas The Indeedee, Ken ultimately decided on Keifer as the replacement nominee and backdoor target. Off to the side, Sean was conspiring to overthrow Ken's plans as HOH and keep Keifer over original nominee Livi The Indeedee. The votes came down to an 8-5 vote and Keifer was the first casualty from the group, and Ken's first HOH went moderately well, despite Jennifer, Tina, and Easton not voting to evict Keifer.

Week 2 proved to be the beginning of the end when Isabella The Pachirisu had nominated Jennifer and Tina for eviction. The veto picks were not promising, as only Tina and Jennifer got to play for it. Carla and Irene had tried to talk to Isabella about potentially targeting the Indeedee siblings, but it was in vain as Isabella had not changed her nominations. With two alliance members on the block, Ken, Carla, Irene, and Easton had a debate over who would be better to keep. Again, the decision was not in complete agreement and Jennifer was evicted 8-4. The alliance had lost their first member, with Ken saying Jennifer was better off out ofthe game.

Week 3 was another hurdle, as house outsider Corey The Swoobat had won HOH with the goal of backdooring Ken. Kiana The Ponyta and Brooke The Togetic had put Corey to work with nominating two decoys, Lucas and Ricky The Dedenne. The goal was to have Lucas saved and Ken put up against Ricky, who was very much liked by the house. The plan initially went off without a hitch despite Carla offering Irene and Tina up as potential replacement nominees. Word got back to Irene and Easton and many small quarrels happened between Ken, Carla, Tina, and Irene. With the house divided between keeping Ricky or Ken, the alliance still had to stick together and rally the votes. They successfully got Brooke, Sean, and Livi to keep Ken, sending Ricky out by a 6-5 vote.
### Defectors & Disbandment

Tensions had came to a head after Irene won the Week 4 Head of Household competition. Denouncing her affiliation with the group after Carla tossed her under the bus, Irene, along with Easton and Tina, abandoned the alliance in hopes of finding more successful ventures elsewhere. Ken and Carla were then set as the next house targets for not being associated with the other sides of the house. Irene and Easton made sure that the house knew of Ken and Carla's alliance with them and their fates seemed to be sealed. With Irene nominating Ken and Carla, it was the only confirmation that the alliance had dissolved completely. Carla was sent out unanimously that week after Ken scored the veto.

Easton had ultimately linked up with Sean and Devyn The Croagunk, while Tina stuck with Irene as a duo. Ken, who was now by himself, had experienced a small break during Round 1 of the Week 5 double eviction. Sean had wanted to target Irene for her inability to keep information to herself and she was deemed untrustworthy. She was evicted 6-3 against Kiana. Unfortunately for Ken, Brooke had scored HOH in the second round and put him on the block next to Lucas. Though Ken campaigned hard saying how Lucas and Livi were a package deal that wouldn't be good for anybody come jury, not everybody listened. He got Kiana, Easton, Sean, and Devyn to follow his idea and he was very hopeful. However, when Isabella caught wind of the scheme, she notified Tina and the Indeedee siblings to tie the votes so Brooke could send out Ken. This ultimately came true, as Brooke cast the tiebreaker vote to evict Ken.

With Easton and Tina officially cleansing themselves of The Globetrotters and of Ken and Carla, it was a new start. Tina had wanted to target Brooke for being a great physical competitor and talked with HOH Livi about the plan. She had agreed initially and nominated Brooke and Kiana as the targets for the week. Lucas cornered Tina about a potential alliance and when Tina was reluctant to accept, Lucas took that as a sign she was working with Easton, Devyn, and Sean. Livi nominated Tina as a replacement, with the idea she would be the pawn. However, the Indeedee siblings and Tina were blindsided when Tina was evicted 4-3 against Brooke.

Easton played the rest of his game linked with Devyn and Sean, as he was the only member to make it to the jury stage, eventually reaching the final 2 and being crowned the runner-up.
