Current Ratings
Clearest Supporting Evidence
| Power | Evidence and Response | Why It Mattered and Where It Stopped |
|---|---|---|
| Referent Power | Dee protected Barrett from replacement consideration and treated him as a close information partner. | The relationship produced real protection. Its clearest reach was through Dee and The Crossovers, not the whole house. |
| Informational Power | Barrett repeatedly reported game information to Dee and helped count votes. | Dee used him inside active planning, showing that his information affected coordination. |
03
Relationships and Alliances
Most Significant Relationships
Barrett ↔ Dee strengthened through reporting, vote coordination, and protection.
Most Significant Alliances and Groups

Power Shifts
Episode 3
Barrett’s Total Power Score Rises by 2 Because Dee Uses His Reports and Protects Him from Replacement Danger
Total Power Score: 9 → 11
Why: Barrett entered The Crossovers, received access to replacement planning, reported information to Dee, and coordinated vote counts with her. Dee protected him from becoming the replacement nominee. Those responses raised both Referent and Informational Power.
What Changed: Referent Power 2 → 3; Informational Power 2 → 3.
What Stayed the Same: Legitimate Power 1, Reward Power 1, Coercive Power 1, and Expert Power 2.
Why It Matters: Barrett’s strongest influence came from being useful to the HOH and included in an active alliance. The relationship provided access and protection, but his late recruitment left some uncertainty about his standing inside the group.

Position Analysis
Reporting and Protection Make Barrett a Useful Crossovers Partner
Barrett’s strongest influence came from being useful to the HOH and included in an active alliance. The relationship provided access and protection, but his late recruitment left some uncertainty about his standing inside the group.
Bottom Line: Barrett’s practical power was relational and informational (Referent 3, Informational 3). The next test is whether The Crossovers follows a plan he helps shape rather than only using the reports he supplies.
06
Performance, Structure, and Chance
Barrett was neither nominated nor protected by a Safety Lock. His access came from Dee and The Crossovers rather than a formal role.
Round 1 Time Capsule voting remained active with no known recipient or result. Competition access, safety, pressure, and production-designed rules remained separate from the six ratings.

Best Move Right Now
There is not enough evidence yet to name a supported best move.
08
What the Rating Means
The Episode 3 score brings together the influence Barrett could demonstrate at this cutoff. Referent Power and Informational Power supplied the clearest evidence, while the stated limits show where those responses had not yet reached.
09
Public Opinion
No completed public-opinion result is available at this Evidence Cutoff.
Official Audience Action: Round 1 Time Capsule voting remained active, but no recipient or result was known. It is recorded separately from fan ranking.

What to Watch For Next
What happens when Barrett disagrees with The Crossovers instead of supplying information?
Why It Matters: That response would reveal whether he has decision-shaping influence or mainly a useful reporting role.
