I think the following things have been crucial about the game on how Sam and Kaait did:

Kaait might have deliberately cheated at the challenge, so that Manu would vote someone out and strengthen Popoki. Even if she is voted out, Popoki would still have numbers there (with Chris & Cassie supposedly).

This could be a reason why Manu didn't get the numbers: they can't get Kaitlyn cause she is Sam and would force numbers on Popoki's side. Although it has no direct effect, due to DB also siding with Popoki too, and Tommy followed.

Kaait/Sam messed up the supposed split-vote plan by voting against DB for some reason, that even if Sole used the idol DB would have gone home if they kept voting against Sole, but because Sole didn't have the idol

So. I really think that Sam/Kaitlyn really did some damage to the game, and I see why they are a "close" alliance.
