Current Ratings
Clearest Supporting Evidence
| Power | Evidence and Response | Why It Mattered and Where It Stopped |
|---|---|---|
| Legitimate and Reward Power | Lyric and Angela accepted reciprocal promises not to nominate each other. | The agreement created a narrow obligation and a future safety benefit. It applied to the pair and had not yet been tested by an HOH. |
| Referent Power | Lyric compared trust circles with Mallory, deepened her attachment with Rome, and remained in Sirens. | The network was broad and voluntary. Several groups around her had different priorities. |
03
Relationships and Alliances
Most Significant Relationships

Episode 5
Lyric’s Total Power Score Rises by 2 Because Angela Accepts a Mutual Non-nomination Agreement
Total Power Score: 10 → 12
Why: Lyric and Angela accepted mutual non-nomination promises, while Lyric also deepened ties with Mallory and Rome. The pact raised Legitimate and Reward Power, lifting her score from 10 to 12 and her rank from tied ninth to tied third.
What Changed: Legitimate Power 1 → 2; Reward Power 1 → 2.
What Stayed the Same: Coercive Power 1, Expert Power 2, Referent Power 3, and Informational Power 2.
Why It Matters: Lyric added a concrete protection agreement to an already broad relationship network. The new obligation was useful but narrow and could conflict with her other ties.
05
Position Analysis
The Angela Pact Moves Lyric From Ninth to Tied Third
Lyric added a concrete protection agreement to an already broad relationship network. The new obligation was useful but narrow and could conflict with her other ties.
Bottom Line: Lyric combined a limited obligation and benefit with strong relationships (Legitimate 2, Reward 2, Referent 3). The next test is whether she or Angela honors the pact under real nomination pressure.
06
Performance, Structure, and Chance
Lyric was a voter with no current office or Safety Lock. Her score gain came from an accepted agreement, not the unanimous vote.
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
There is not enough evidence yet to name a supported best move.
08
What the Rating Means
The current score shows the mix of influence Lyric could still use after the first eviction cycle. Legitimate and Reward Power and Referent 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.

What to Watch For Next
Which relationship does Lyric protect first if the Angela pact conflicts with Sirens, Mallory, or Rome?
Why It Matters: The choice would reveal how her overlapping Referent and Reward commitments are ordered.
