I think that Alex made the right decision on who he took to the rich side with him although perhaps he should have told PJ and Spencer the truth about their hygiene and the apathy and laziness both of them demonstrated last week.
He knew that Jonny wanted to take his turn on the poor side and I would imagine also thought that Kate would be happier with Jonny and Spencer. I also think that his wanting to get to know Sophie better was valid too.
