01

Player at a Glance

Kamu’s Position After Episode 17

The immediate picture for Kamu centered on this: Kamu helped conceal the nomination plan and proposed a new four-person group, but the commitment was not yet tested.

LaTrice nominated Haley, Chuk, and Barrett. Taylor’s earlier push helped put Chuk on the block, but Chuk still believed Taylor did not have much influence over LaTrice. That gap between impact and recognition was the episode’s clearest information story.

Current Position: Rank 4 of 13 with a Total Power Score of 12.

Rank and Score Movement: Rank 4 → Rank 4; Total Power Score 12 → 12.

Clearest Response: Kamu helped conceal the nomination plan and proposed a new four-person group, but the commitment was not yet tested.

02

Current Power

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

Current Ratings

Legitimate Power1

No official role, game rule, or accepted promise gave the player influence here.

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

Referent Power3

Several voluntary relationships provide trust, protection, or coordination.

Informational Power3

Information repeatedly shapes planning or choices across several relationships.

Clearest Supporting Evidence

PowerEvidence and ResponseWhy It Mattered and Where It Stopped
Referent PowerKamu helped conceal the nomination plan and proposed a new four-person group, but the commitment was not yet tested.The named response supports the current rating. Its reach stops where another player chose differently or no additional response was demonstrated.
Relationships and InformationKamu ↔ Yash, Drew, and Devens was the most important relationship path at this cutoff.The bond mattered only to choices it actually changed; the relationship or alliance name did not add automatic credit.

03

Relationships and Alliances

Most Significant Relationship

Kamu ↔ Yash, Drew, and Devens · Relationship to Watch

Kamu’s connection with Yash, Drew, and Devens remained worth watching at the Episode 17 cutoff. A vote, warning, or protection decision after Episode 17 will show how much weight it carries for Kamu.

Most Significant Alliance or Group

Overlapping successor groups · Useful but not unified

For Kamu in Episode 17, handymen, Bermuda Triangle, and the Kamu–Yash connection created access without one stable majority controlling every choice.

04

Power Shifts

Kamu’s Power Ratings Hold at 12 Through LaTrice’s Nominations

Total Power Score: 12 → 12

Why: Kamu helped conceal the nomination plan and proposed a new four-person group, but the commitment was not yet tested.

What Changed: No individual power rating changed.

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: No new response was repeated strongly enough to move a rating, so Kamu remained at 12.

05

Position Analysis

Where Kamu Stands After Episode 17

At this cutoff, Referent Power and Informational Power stood out most in Kamu’s score. The clearest example came through this exchange: Kamu helped conceal the nomination plan and proposed a new four-person group, but the commitment was not yet tested.

Bottom Line: Kamu still had these forms of influence available (Reward 2, Expert 2, Referent 3, and Informational 3). The influence was real at this cutoff, though the next choice could expose its limit. The next test is whether that relationship helps Kamu when the veto decision tests the nominations.

06

Performance, Structure, and Chance

LaTrice’s nominations activated broad, immediate consequences. Haley, Chuk, and Barrett became nominees, but danger did not automatically change their six power ratings. Mallory and Melody’s tether was production-imposed rather than voluntary relationship evidence. Veto access and results were not yet known.

The Episode 17 results changed the board around Kamu, not the power evidence. Kamu stayed at 12 because no new response pattern was established by the Episode 17 cutoff.

07

Best Move Right Now

Best Move Right Now: Turn the relationship with Yash, Drew, and Devens into a clear veto or protection plan.

What Would Show It Worked: The promised vote, warning, or protection arrives when Kamu needs it.

08

What the Rating Means

Referent Power and Informational Power stood above the other parts of Kamu’s Episode 17 profile. In Kamu’s game, the practical evidence involved relationships that produced trust or protection and information that changed plans or understanding.
