Current Ratings

Legitimate Power2

A limited agreement or accepted promise gives the player some influence.

Reward Power2

A limited benefit or protection promise produces a response.

Coercive Power1

No threat or possible consequence clearly changed another player’s response.

Expert Power2

Ability or judgment is visible, but other players have not repeatedly followed that judgment.

Referent Power2

A few relationships provide limited trust or protection.

Informational Power2

Information changes a response in a limited setting.

Most Significant Relationship

Jason ↔ The House · Relationship to Watch

The connection with The House became Jason’s clearest relationship test in Episode 8. The response made the connection visible: Jason won Blockbuster safety, but the competition result did not repair his broad trust problems or raise a power rating.

Position Analysis

Where Jason Stands After Episode 8

Legitimate Power, Reward Power, Expert Power, Referent Power, and Informational Power remained the strongest part of Jason’s profile. That reading fits the Episode 8 evidence: Jason won Blockbuster safety, but the competition result did not repair his broad trust problems or raise a power rating.

Bottom Line: Jason could still use several forms of influence (Legitimate 2, Reward 2, Expert 2, Referent 2, and Informational 2). The episode confirmed where Jason’s influence worked without proving wider control. The next useful evidence should come from The House: a vote, protection, nomination change, or useful warning.

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.

07

Best Move Right Now

Best Move Right Now: Ask The House for one clear commitment before the next decision.

What Would Show It Worked: The House follows through by changing a vote, nomination, protection, or information choice.

08

What the Rating Means

Legitimate Power, Reward Power, Expert Power, Referent Power, and Informational Power were the strongest part of Jason’s Episode 8 score. In Jason’s game, the evidence came from Jason’s official authority or accepted commitments, benefits or protection Jason could offer, advice or judgment other players accepted, relationships that produced trust or protection, and information that changed plans or understanding.
