01

Player at a Glance

Devens’s Position After Episode 21

Devens’s clearest development came through one interaction: Devens delivered the Diamond Veto benefit to Dee and imposed the replacement-nomination consequence on Kamu.

Episode 21 began with Angela, Dee, and Haley nominated by Yash. Barrett and Melody joined them in the OTEV field, and Yash won the Golden Power of Veto. Players then built competing plans around possible veto use, replacement nominees, and Devens’s still-hidden Diamond Veto.

Current Position: Rank 1 of 12 with a Total Power Score of 19.

Rank and Score Movement: Rank 2 → Rank 1; Total Power Score 15 → 19.

Clearest Response: Devens delivered the Diamond Veto benefit to Dee and imposed the replacement-nomination consequence on Kamu.

02

Current Power

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

Reward Power3

Repeated or delivered credible benefits influence consequential decisions.

Coercive Power4

Formal or production-backed authority creates broad immediate consequences.

Expert Power3

Other players repeatedly accept the player’s strategic judgment.

Referent Power3

Several voluntary relationships provide trust, protection, or coordination.

Informational Power4

Information repeatedly shapes understanding and decisions across groups.

Relationships and Alliances

Most Significant Relationship

Most Significant Alliance or Group

Crossovers decision core · Powerful but increasingly fractured

Position Analysis

Where Devens Stands After Episode 21

The strongest part of Devens’s profile came from Coercive Power and Informational Power. A concrete response supports that profile: Devens delivered the Diamond Veto benefit to Dee and imposed the replacement-nomination consequence on Kamu.

Bottom Line: Devens still had these forms of influence available (Legitimate 2, Reward 3, Coercive 4, Expert 3, Referent 3, and Informational 4). Devens produced a meaningful response, but its reach remained limited to the evidence above. A concrete choice from Dee, Mallory, and Melody would reveal how far the relationship can reach.

06

Performance, Structure, and Chance

Yash’s OTEV win created a temporary veto decision right, not Expert Power. Devens’s Diamond Veto created a separate temporary authority that expired when he used it. Dee received a Safety Lock after removal, while Angela, Haley, and Kamu retained direct Blockbuster access. The Week 5 poll was published after this cutoff and is excluded.

Devens finished the Episode 21 checkpoint at 19, compared with 15 at the previous cutoff. Devens’s change reflects demonstrated responses from other players at this cutoff rather than danger, safety, or ceremony results alone.

07

Best Move Right Now

Best Move Right Now: Ask Dee, Mallory, and Melody for one specific vote or warning before the Blockbuster.

What Would Show It Worked: Someone named in the request follows through when the decision becomes real.

08

What the Rating Means

Devens’s Episode 21 profile leaned most heavily on Coercive Power and Informational Power. For Devens in Episode 21, that meant the clearest influence came from consequences Devens could credibly impose and information that changed plans or understanding.
