Power snapshot
Terminal: Ashley remains terminal at 7. Rome and Jason remain terminal at 8. Lyric remains terminal at 13. Chuk remains terminal at 9. Kamu becomes terminal at 12. All six are excluded from the active ranking.
She identifies the Dee–Devens–Barrett–Drew grouping. Both targets carry the warning into their planning.
Mosh Pit votes together, but FAP and Crossovers overlap with it. Drew’s argument, Devens’s threats, and existing preferences also matter.
His HOH authority expires when the cycle ends. The drop comes from the rules of the game, not from Kamu’s eviction.
Episode action sequence
A flip starts to form, then falls apart. Kamu leaves 8–1.
- 1Haley names the veteran grouping
Yash and Taylor use the warning in their planning
- 2Kamu’s side presses its case
Mallory and Melody seriously consider keeping him
- 3Drew answers the pitch
His counterframe takes the immediate momentum out of the flip
- 4Angela wins the Blockbuster
Haley and Kamu become the final pair on the block
- 5Eight voters choose Kamu
LaTrice casts the only vote against Haley
What changes
Haley’s warning lands. Yash’s formal authority expires.
Haley’s coalition warning changes the planning of two targets, raising Informational Power 1 → 2. The Week 6 cycle ends, so Yash’s Legitimate and Coercive Power each return from 4 → 1. Every other active six-base score carries.
Why the flip closes
The reconsideration is real. So are the pressures that pull it apart.
- Kamu, Yash, and Taylor find an openingMallory and Melody begin to reconsider their votes
- Drew supplies a counterframeHe points to Kamu’s failure to protect earlier allies
- Devens makes defection costlyTargets discuss his threats of exposure and jury retaliation
- Protection offers close the pathAngela and Dee add reassurance before the votes settle
No single person owns the outcome. The final vote combines prior preference, overlapping alliances, Drew’s information, Devens’s pressure, and protection assurances. Mosh Pit proves it can execute one vote together; the Episode does not prove that it causes the vote by itself.
Claim stop: Episode 22 establishes the post-veto campaign, Angela’s Block Buster win, the 8–1 eviction, Kamu’s terminal profile, Haley’s information response, Yash’s authority expiration, and one-vote Mosh Pit cohesion. It excludes the feed return, Week 7 HOH, the next Time Capsule result, and every Episode 23 or later event.

Eviction closes his active story without erasing the influence he previously demonstrates.
Legitimate and Coercive authority return to baseline when Week 6 ends.

Drew Campbell
22 · Temecula, California · Surgical dental assistant
Drew meets the proposed flip with a reason to distrust Kamu’s protection.
Drew reaches 12 through early information and relationships, then settles at 11 when one channel narrows. Episode 22 shows the force of his information again: his argument changes the immediate direction of the vote, though other causes keep him below the next threshold.
