01
Exit at a Glance
Mallory Built a Way Past Drew, but Faced Taylor Instead
Mallory began the episode on the block beside Drew and Taylor. Dee’s group privately wanted Mallory out while allowing Mallory, Drew, and Barrett to believe Taylor was the target. Mallory campaigned, offered Dee future trust, and received a promise from Yash that he would keep her.
Haley then revealed that Mallory was the real target. Barrett refused to support the plan and helped organize enough votes to evict Drew if he stayed on the block. Mallory joined that effort, asked Devens for his vote, and offered not to target him. Devens did not change his plan.
Drew won the BB Blockbuster and became safe. That left Mallory against Taylor and removed the matchup her group had prepared for. Barrett and Melody voted to keep Mallory. Angela, Drew, Yash, Haley, Devens, and LaTrice voted to evict her. Mallory left 6–2.
Her Total Power Score stayed at 11, tied for Rank 6 of 11. The two votes showed that Mallory had real relationship power. The other six votes showed that the same protection did not reach far enough in the matchup that actually happened.
| Exit Result | Power at Exit | Clearest Divide |
|---|---|---|
| Evicted 6–2 against Taylor after Drew won safety. | Tied for Rank 6 of 11 with a Total Power Score of 11. | Barrett and Melody protected Mallory; Drew and Yash did not. |

Power at Exit
Mallory’s Strongest Power Produced Two Votes, Not a Majority
These are the clearest and most consequential examples supporting Mallory’s six power ratings at the time of her eviction—not every observed or attempted use of power. Each rating shows what other players did in response and where Mallory’s influence stopped.
| Power | Evidence and Response | Why It Mattered and Where It Stopped |
|---|---|---|
| Legitimate Power | Mallory made direct requests, but no voter treated those requests as an official right or a binding obligation. | She could ask for support, but she could not require it. Her earlier reciprocal agreement with Devens was no longer active. |
| Reward Power | Earlier in the season, Mallory offered Devens future safety and he kept her off the block. In Episode 25, she offered future trust to Dee and non-targeting protection to Devens, but neither changed course. | The earlier delivered exchange kept Reward Power at 2. The final offers did not create a larger voting group. |
| Coercive Power | Mallory warned that Dee’s nomination could damage alliances, but Dee still placed her on the block. No later threat changed a vote. | The warning showed an attempt to create a consequence. Dee’s refusal showed why Coercive Power remained at 1. |
| Expert Power | Mallory helped compare vote paths and joined the plan against Drew. The record does not show several players following the plan because they deferred to Mallory’s judgment. | She showed strategic ability, but Barrett led the vote-building work and the house did not broadly follow Mallory’s advice. |
| Referent Power | Barrett mapped votes for Mallory, Melody made her protection a priority, and both voted to evict Taylor. | Their loyalty produced real action at the final vote. Drew voted against Mallory, Yash broke his promise, and the protection stopped at two votes. |
| Informational Power | Mallory took part in the Drew-out vote plan and received information from Barrett about Red Corner and the BB Bribe. Her pitch to Devens did not change his target. | The information helped Mallory understand the week and join a possible counterplan. It did not move enough voters once Taylor became her opponent. |
03
Relationships and Alliances at Exit
Barrett and Melody Stayed With Mallory as Larger Groups Broke Apart
Mallory’s exit separated relationships that produced action from alliance names that no longer held. Barrett and Melody accepted the risk of voting in the minority for her. Drew and Yash made different choices when the vote became real.
Most Significant Relationships
| Relationship | Status at Exit | What Happened | Why It Mattered and Where It Stopped |
|---|---|---|---|
| Barrett → Mallory | Held | Barrett mapped votes, shared important alliance information, helped build the Drew-out plan, and voted to keep Mallory. | He gave Mallory information and protection. He could not carry three more votes into the Taylor matchup. |
| Melody → Mallory | Held | Melody made Mallory’s safety a priority and voted to evict Taylor. | Her loyalty produced one of Mallory’s two votes. It did not create a majority. |
| Yash → Mallory | Promise Failed | Yash promised to keep Mallory, then voted to evict her when she faced Taylor. | The broken promise removed a vote Mallory believed she had and showed that the relationship could not carry the final decision. |
| Drew → Mallory | Broke at the Vote | Drew accepted the plan to remove Mallory and voted against her after winning safety. | His choice helped end Mallory’s game and showed that the wider FAP relationship no longer protected her. |
| Dee ↔ Mallory | Trust Failed | Dee allowed Mallory to believe Taylor was the target. Mallory offered future trust, but Dee remained committed to evicting her. | Mallory’s offer did not repair the relationship or change Dee’s plan. |
Most Significant Alliances and Voting Groups
| Alliance or Group | Members | Status | What It Did | Why It Mattered and Where It Stopped |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| FAP | Mallory, Melody, Drew, Barrett | Fractured | Barrett and Melody protected Mallory. Drew voted to evict her. | The Barrett–Melody pair still worked, but the full alliance did not act together. Mallory’s eviction ended her part of the group. |
| Mosh Pit | Devens, Dee, Angela, Barrett, Drew, Mallory, Melody | Collapsed | Members split over Mallory. Barrett and Melody kept her while Angela, Drew, and Devens voted her out. | The name no longer produced majority protection or shared action. |
| Drew-Out Voting Plan | Barrett, Melody, Mallory, Yash, LaTrice, Taylor | Never Reached the Vote | The group found a possible five-vote path to evict Drew if he stayed vulnerable. | The plan gave Mallory a real route in one matchup. Drew’s safety win removed that matchup, so the plan was never tested. |
04
Power Shifts
Mallory’s Score Stayed at 11 When Two Allies Protected Her
Total Power Score: 11 → 11
Why: Barrett and Melody delivered two protection votes, supporting Mallory’s existing Referent Power. The vote did not show a broader pattern strong enough to raise that rating, and eviction did not erase power she had already demonstrated.
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 2.
Why It Matters: Mallory’s game ended, but her final score still records the influence she had shown before leaving. The two votes confirmed meaningful protection while also showing its limit.
05
Why Mallory Was Evicted
Her Best Voting Plan Disappeared Before the House Voted
Mallory improved her campaign by making direct requests and offering future protection. Barrett and Melody responded and gave her two votes. Barrett also helped build a possible five-vote path against Drew, giving Mallory a real chance if that matchup reached the house.
The game produced a different matchup. Drew won safety, leaving Mallory beside Taylor. Mallory’s offers did not change Dee or Devens, Yash did not keep his promise, and Drew joined the six voters who removed her. Some of those voters saw Mallory as the larger threat. Others were protecting Taylor or acting through their own alliances and relationships.
Dee’s HOH authority placed Mallory in danger, and Devens’s threat comparison helped members of Dee’s group treat Mallory as the more important target. Neither player controlled all six votes. The final result also depended on Drew’s competition win, the Blockbuster format, individual voter choices, and a counterplan built for a matchup that never happened.
Bottom Line: Mallory had real power, but it was concentrated in too few people for the Taylor matchup. Barrett and Melody protected her, while Dee’s nomination, Devens’s threat argument, six separate voter decisions, and Drew’s safety win combined to send her out. She did not lose because of one mistake, and her eviction did not mean she had no influence.
06
Performance, Structure, and Chance
Drew’s Win Changed Mallory’s Opponent
The BB Blockbuster placed Drew, Mallory, and Taylor in a memory-and-speed competition. Mallory did not win. Drew did, and the rules gave him safety before the vote. Mallory then had to face Taylor instead of the player targeted by her strongest voting plan.
Drew earned that safety through competition performance. His win was not proof that he persuaded the voters. The Blockbuster format changed the available matchup, while the voters still made their own choices. The record shows a possible five-vote route against Drew, but no one can know whether every promised vote would have held because that vote never happened.
Mallory had no active safety resource at the final vote. The game structure narrowed her options, but it did not remove her responsibility to campaign or the voters’ responsibility for their decisions.
07
Best Move and Missed Opportunity
Her Direct Campaign Won Two Votes but Needed a Better Backup Plan
Best Move: Mallory moved beyond broad warnings and asked for specific votes while offering future protection. Barrett and Melody responded and voted to keep her. Their actions showed that the campaign produced real support.
Missed Opportunity: Mallory’s strongest plan focused on evicting Drew. She did not secure enough separate commitments to survive against Taylor, and Yash’s promise was not reliable when the matchup changed. A stronger backup plan would have required at least three more Taylor-specific votes before the Blockbuster.
That does not prove the extra votes were available. It identifies the gap between the protection Mallory built and the protection she needed.
08
What the Final Rating Means
A Score of 11 Can Include Real Power and a Failed Vote
Mallory’s final score was built around Referent Power 3, with limited Reward, Expert, and Informational Power at 2. Barrett and Melody showed what that relationship power could do by voting to keep her. Earlier in the season, other players had also accepted protection deals and shared important information with her.
The score also shows the limit. Mallory held no official authority and no credible consequence that could direct the final vote. Her strongest relationships reached two voters, not the five she needed to stay. The score preserves the influence she demonstrated; it does not turn that influence into safety after the game ends.

Public Opinion
Fan Rank and Vote Share by Week
Rank 1 is the highest fan position. These are all six completed Favorite Houseguest results available before Mallory’s exit cutoff.
| Poll Week | Fan Rank | Vote Share |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | 3 of 17 | 9% |
| 2 | 6 of 17 | 5% |
| 3 | 5 of 17 | 9% |
| 4 | 2 of 17 | 15% |
| 5 | 2 of 17 | 14% |
| 6 | 2 of 12 | 12.77% |
Source and Cutoff: Big Brother Network Favorite Houseguest results recorded in the current local dataset through August 25, 2026. The poll allowed repeat voting and did not publish a total response count.
RPM and Fan Rank at Mallory’s Exit
Mallory finished tied for Rank 6 of 11 in RPM at the August 27 evidence cutoff. In the last completed fan poll before her eviction, she ranked 2 of 12 with 12.77% on August 25. The poll measured support from participating fans. RPM measured influence demonstrated inside the house, so the two rankings describe different parts of her season.
When Fan Support Affected the Game
Viewers selected Mallory for the fourth Time Capsule opportunity. The capsule gave her the Adam & Eve tether punishment, and Mallory chose Melody as her partner for 48 hours. The public vote changed their game conditions, but the forced time together did not automatically create Referent Power. Relationship power still required a voluntary response from another player.
A Question Worth Following
Why did fans rank Mallory higher than RPM did? Fans may have valued her visible fight, personality, or television story. Inside the house, Barrett and Melody acted on their relationships with her, but that influence did not reach enough voters against Taylor. The difference gives readers something to think about without proving that either ranking tells the whole story.

What Mallory’s Exit Changed
Can Barrett and Melody Keep Working Together Without Mallory?
Why It Matters: They were the only two voters who protected her. If they stay together, Mallory’s strongest relationship pair may continue to shape the game. If they split, her eviction removed the person holding that pair together.
Does Drew’s Vote End What Was Left of FAP?
Why It Matters: Drew voted against Mallory while Barrett and Melody protected her. Their next choices will show whether the alliance can be repaired or whether the split becomes permanent.
Who Will Trust Yash After He Broke His Promise to Mallory?
Why It Matters: Yash promised Mallory a vote and then evicted her. Other players may now question whether his future promises will hold when the matchup changes.
How Will the House Use the 6–2 Split?
Why It Matters: The vote showed a majority and a visible minority, but not one permanent alliance. The next nominations and protection deals will show whether the split becomes a lasting divide.
