Player at a Glance

Dee’s HOH Power Expires, but Her Information Keeps Her Tied for First

The house evicted Ashley without requiring Dee to break a tie. At the cycle boundary, Dee lost the official right to nominate and the office-backed consequence that came with it. Her Total Power Score fell from 19 to 13, yet she remained tied for first because Informational Power 4 and her relationships carried.

Current Position: Tied for Rank 1 of 16 with a Total Power Score of 13.

Rank and Score Movement: Rank 1 of 17 → Tied for Rank 1 of 16; Total Power Score 19 → 13.

Clearest Response: Dee’s HOH ended after the eviction, so she could no longer nominate, replace, or impose nomination consequences.

02

Current Power

These are the clearest and most consequential examples supporting Dee’s six current power ratings—not every observed or attempted use of power.

Current Ratings

Legitimate Power1

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 Dee’s advice or judgment.

Referent Power3

Several voluntary relationships produce trust, protection, or coordination.

Informational Power4

Information shapes major decisions across multiple groups.

Informational, Referent, and Reward PowerThe Crossovers coordinated the vote, and Dee’s information network remained intact enough to preserve cover.Her influence outlasted the office. The next cycle would test whether players still volunteered cooperation when she lacked formal authority.

03

Relationships and Alliances

Most Significant Relationships

Dee’s Crossovers relationships remained functional. Jason’s keep-Ashley pitch failed to change her position.

Most Significant Alliances and Groups

The Crossovers demonstrated coordination. Red Corner remained internally strained and uneven.

Episode 5

Dee’s Total Power Score Falls by 6 Because Her HOH Office Ends and Removes Nomination Authority

Total Power Score: 19 → 13

Why: The house evicted Ashley without requiring Dee to break a tie. At the cycle boundary, Dee lost the official right to nominate and the office-backed consequence that came with it. Her Total Power Score fell from 19 to 13, yet she remained tied for first because Informational Power 4 and her relationships carried.

What Changed: Legitimate Power 4 → 1; Coercive Power 4 → 1.

What Stayed the Same: Reward Power 2, Expert Power 2, Referent Power 3, and Informational Power 4.

Why It Matters: Dee lost the two forms of power tied directly to the HOH office. She did not lose the alliances, information channels, or limited protection leverage that had produced voluntary responses.

05

Position Analysis

Dee’s HOH Power Expires, but Her Information Keeps Her Tied for First

Dee lost the two forms of power tied directly to the HOH office. She did not lose the alliances, information channels, or limited protection leverage that had produced voluntary responses.

Bottom Line: Dee now had to influence without office-backed authority or consequences (Legitimate 1, Coercive 1), while Reward 2, Referent 3, and Informational 4 remained available. The next test is whether players still follow her target framing when they are free to refuse.

06

Performance, Structure, and Chance

Dee’s HOH and Safety Lock expired at the post-eviction boundary. No Week 2 HOH result was available.

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

Best Move Right Now: Let the house own the completed vote, avoid new contradictory assurances, and preserve hidden alliances for the next cycle.

What Would Show It Worked: The Crossovers and other information partners continue sharing and coordinating after Dee is no longer HOH.

08

What the Rating Means

The current score shows the mix of influence Dee could still use after the first eviction cycle. Legitimate and Coercive Power and Informational, Referent, and Reward 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 still follows Dee when she cannot nominate anyone?

Why It Matters: The response will separate durable social and information power from compliance created by the HOH office.
