Current Ratings
Clearest Supporting Evidence
| Power | Evidence and Response | Why It Mattered and Where It Stopped |
|---|---|---|
| Legitimate Power and Coercive Power | Devens got the Rome result he preferred, but his HOH and veto authority expired after the eviction. | The observed response or demonstrated consequence supports the current profile. Its reach stops where other players kept independent motives or no further response was demonstrated. |
| Relationships and Information | Devens ↔ Lyric was the most relevant relationship path at this cutoff. | The connection mattered only to the choices it actually changed; an alliance name or favorable result did not add automatic credit. |
03
Relationships and Alliances
Most Significant Relationship
Devens ↔ Lyric · Current test
Devens got the Rome result he preferred, but his HOH and veto authority expired after the eviction. This relationship mattered because a named action or response affected the player’s options. Its reach remained limited to the people and decision described.
Most Significant Alliance or Group
The Dabbers · Confirmed surface alliance
The four-person group created access, while commitment and any expanded membership remained uncertain.

Episode 8
Devens’s Total Power Score Falls by 5 Because Devens Loses His Office-Backed Authority After the Eviction
Total Power Score: 20 → 15

What Changed: Legitimate Power 4 → 2; Coercive Power 4 → 1.

Position Analysis
The Current Power Mix Defines the Position
Devens got the Rome result he preferred, but his HOH and veto authority expired after the eviction. The current score places the player’s strongest evidence in Informational Power. That influence worked through the named response, while the present limit is that no episode result can be credited to Devens alone. Rank movement can also occur when other players’ scores change even if this score holds.
Bottom Line: Devens could still use several forms of influence (Legitimate 2, Reward 3, Expert 2, Referent 3, and Informational 4). Devens got the Rome result he preferred, but his HOH and veto authority expired after the eviction. The next test is whether Devens ↔ Lyric produces a concrete vote, protection, nomination, or information response.
06
Performance, Structure, and Chance
Jason’s Blockbuster win gave temporary safety and changed the final matchup. Rome’s lack of veto access and Blockbuster loss narrowed his escape routes. The 12–1 vote still reflected individual choices rather than one automatic alliance response. All Week 2 formal authority and Safety Locks expired at the cycle boundary.
For Devens, the player-specific evidence is clear: Devens got the Rome result he preferred, but his HOH and veto authority expired after the eviction. Competition access, safety, production rules, and chance are recorded separately from the six powers unless another player’s response or a demonstrated consequence supports a rating.
07
Best Move Right Now
Best Move Right Now: Turn Devens ↔ Lyric into one clear commitment before the next decision.
What Would Show It Worked: The named player or group changes a vote, nomination, protection, or information choice for Devens.
08
What the Rating Means
The score shows the kinds of influence Devens could still use at this cutoff. Informational Power supplied the strongest part of the profile, while the next game decision would show whether that influence could reach beyond the relationships already observed.

Fan Rank and Vote Share by Week
Rank 1 is the highest fan position. Only completed results available before this page’s cutoff are shown.
| Poll Week | Fan Rank | Vote Share | RPM Rank at This Cutoff |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | 2 of 17 | 18% | 1 of 15 |
Source: Big Brother Network Favorite Houseguest poll. The current local dataset records the rank and share but does not record a published response count or repeat-voting rule. The poll measures participating fans, while RPM uses demonstrated responses inside the house. Fan support is not scored as Referent Power.
Official Audience Action: Angela’s Round 1 Egg Detective punishment remained a separate production-designed audience action.
A Question Worth Following
Is RPM seeing the same strong game that fans are responding to? Devens ranks 1 in RPM and 2 in the Week 1 fan poll. Devens got the Rome result he preferred, but his HOH and veto authority expired after the eviction. Strong in-house responses could help explain the match, while visibility, personality, or the television edit could also shape fan support.
