Current Ratings

No current recognized decision right is demonstrated.

Reward Power2

A limited benefit or protection promise produces a response.

Coercive Power1

No current credible consequence changes another player’s response.

Expert Power2

Other players had not repeatedly followed Barrett’s advice or judgment.

Referent Power3

Several voluntary relationships produce trust, protection, or coordination.

Informational Power3

Information repeatedly changes planning or coordination.

Clearest Supporting Evidence

PowerEvidence and ResponseWhy It Mattered and Where It Stopped
Reward, Referent, and Informational PowerBarrett continued supplying vote updates and coordinating inside The Crossovers.The group used his information and preserved alliance cover. The unanimous result also reflected wider house incentives, so he did not receive sole credit.

03

Relationships and Alliances

Most Significant Relationships

Barrett’s Crossovers relationships remained functional. His earlier reassurance to Taylor became part of a house-wide result rather than a uniquely attributable protection act.

Most Significant Alliances and Groups

The Crossovers demonstrated coordination by voting with the house while preserving cover.

04

Power Shifts

Barrett’s Total Power Score Holds at 12 Because His Protection, Alliance, and Information Channels Remain Functional

Total Power Score: 12 → 12

Why: Barrett reported that Kamu had abandoned Ashley, coordinated through The Crossovers, and joined the unanimous vote. His Total Power Score held at 12, while his rank moved from second to tied third because Angela and Dee finished at 13.

What Changed: No individual power rating changed; Total Power Score remained 12.

What Stayed the Same: Legitimate Power 1, Reward Power 2, Coercive Power 1, Expert Power 2, Referent Power 3, and Informational Power 3.

Why It Matters: Barrett stayed useful to a functioning alliance and the vote network. His rank fell only because other scores changed; his own power mix did not weaken.

05

Position Analysis

Barrett’s Score Holds as the Field Reorders Around Him

Barrett stayed useful to a functioning alliance and the vote network. His rank fell only because other scores changed; his own power mix did not weaken.

Bottom Line: Barrett retained limited protection and useful alliance information (Reward 2, Referent 3, Informational 3). The next test is whether he can shape the next target when no HOH office is organizing the group.

06

Performance, Structure, and Chance

Barrett was one of fourteen voters. The unanimous vote was a dependent group outcome, not fourteen separate proofs of power.

The Week 1 cycle ended with no active HOH, nominees, or Safety Locks. Round 1 Time Capsule remained active with no known recipient or result.

07

Best Move Right Now

There is not enough evidence yet to name a supported best move.

08

What the Rating Means

The current score shows the mix of influence Barrett could still use after the first eviction cycle. Reward, Referent, and Informational Power supplied the clearest evidence, while the stated limits identify what had not yet been delivered or tested.

09

Public Opinion

No completed public-opinion result is available at this Evidence Cutoff.

Official Audience Action: The Time Capsule twist had been announced, but no recipient or result was known. It is recorded separately from fan ranking.

10

What to Watch For Next

Who accepts Barrett’s target preference in the next cycle?

Why It Matters: A changed plan would show whether he can move from reporting vote states to shaping them.
