01

Player at a Glance

Mallory’s Position After Episode 16

The episode gave Mallory a clear role in the week: Mallory was selected for the Time Capsule, an outside opportunity that did not show influence over players in the house.

Episode 16 began immediately after Lyric’s eviction. Haley still misunderstood how the 8–3 vote came together, while the players who helped organize it began repositioning for a new week. LaTrice then won the Wall and became the Week 5 HOH.

Current Position: Rank 7 of 13 with a Total Power Score of 11.

Rank and Score Movement: Rank 6 → Rank 7; Total Power Score 11 → 11.

Clearest Response: Mallory was selected for the Time Capsule, an outside opportunity that did not show influence over players in the house.

02

Current Power

These are the clearest and most consequential examples supporting Mallory’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 Power2

Information changes a narrow response or remains partly contained.

Relationships and InformationMallory ↔ Melody, Drew, and Barrett 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

Mallory ↔ Melody, Drew, and Barrett · Relationship to Watch

In Episode 16, Mallory could still look to Melody, Drew, and Barrett for trust, information, or protection. After Episode 16, the relationship earns more credit only if that support changes a real decision for Mallory.

Most Significant Alliance or Group

Cross-group relationships · Useful but not unified

In Episode 16, Mallory retained individual connections across the house without one alliance controlling every response.

04

Power Shifts

Mallory’s Power Ratings Hold at 11 as LaTrice Wins HOH Before Nominations

Total Power Score: 11 → 11

Why: Mallory was selected for the Time Capsule, an outside opportunity that did not show influence over players in the house.

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: The situation around Mallory changed, but the six ratings still rested on the same evidence. The Total Power Score remained 11.

05

Position Analysis

Where Mallory Stands After Episode 16

Referent Power remained the strongest part of Mallory’s profile. That reading fits the Episode 16 evidence: Mallory was selected for the Time Capsule, an outside opportunity that did not show influence over players in the house.

Bottom Line: Mallory still had these forms of influence available (Reward 2, Expert 2, Referent 3, and Informational 2). The episode confirmed where Mallory’s influence worked without proving wider control. The next test is whether that relationship gives Mallory useful protection before nominations become official.

06

Performance, Structure, and Chance

LaTrice’s endurance win created HOH safety and formal authority, not Expert Power. Haley could not compete as the outgoing HOH. Mallory’s public selection for the Time Capsule was an outside intervention, not proof of popularity-based power inside the house. Devens’s Diamond Veto and Dee’s BB Bribe remained unused resources.

The Episode 16 competition and ceremony changed the choices around Mallory. That record did not show Mallory causing a repeated new response, so the Episode 16 score remained 11.

07

Best Move Right Now

Best Move Right Now: Ask Melody, Drew, and Barrett for one clear promise before nominations.

What Would Show It Worked: Someone named in the request follows through when the decision becomes real.

08

What the Rating Means

Referent Power was the strongest part of Mallory’s Episode 16 score. In Mallory’s game, the evidence came from relationships that produced trust or protection.
