Player at a Glance

Mallory’s Position After Episode 18

One event best captured Mallory’s position at the cutoff: Mallory joined FAP with Melody, Drew, and Barrett, but the new group had not yet completed a consequential action.

Angela admitted to Haley that she had voted against Lyric. Haley told Chuk, both withdrew trust from Angela, and the argument pushed Angela back toward LaTrice’s HOH group. Dee separately told Kamu about her vote and the unused BB Bribe; Kamu updated his view and discussed a new overlap.

Current Position: Rank 8 of 13 with a Total Power Score of 11.

Rank and Score Movement: Rank 8 → Rank 8; Total Power Score 11 → 11.

Clearest Response: Mallory joined FAP with Melody, Drew, and Barrett, but the new group had not yet completed a consequential action.

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.

Clearest Supporting Evidence

Referent PowerMallory joined FAP with Melody, Drew, and Barrett, but the new group had not yet completed a consequential action.The named response supports the current rating. Its reach stops where another player chose differently or no additional response was demonstrated.
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 18, Mallory could still look to Melody, Drew, and Barrett for trust, information, or protection. After Episode 18, the relationship earns more credit only if that support changes a real decision for Mallory.

Most Significant Alliance or Group

FAP · Confirmed but exposed

For Mallory in Episode 18, the four named FAP and shared plans, but the group had not yet completed an important action together. Its trust and durability remained untested.

04

Power Shifts

Mallory’s Power Ratings Hold at 11 Through the Veto Ceremony

Total Power Score: 11 → 11

Why: Mallory joined FAP with Melody, Drew, and Barrett, but the new group had not yet completed a consequential action.

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: Danger or opportunity can change without changing power. For Mallory in Episode 18, the score stayed at 11.

05

Position Analysis

Where Mallory Stands After Episode 18

Mallory’s position rested most heavily on Referent Power. The episode record shows those strengths at work: Mallory joined FAP with Melody, Drew, and Barrett, but the new group had not yet completed a consequential action.

Bottom Line: Mallory still had these forms of influence available (Reward 2, Expert 2, Referent 3, and Informational 2). That gives Mallory a usable position without guaranteeing the same response elsewhere. The next test is whether that relationship protects Mallory through the Blockbuster and eviction.

06

Performance, Structure, and Chance

The veto draw combined guaranteed nominee and HOH access, Chuk’s Houseguest Choice selection of Kamu, and a random draw for Dee. Kamu’s win created temporary veto authority and safety, both of which ended when he declined to use it. The Time Capsule vote, Devens’s Diamond Veto, and Dee’s disclosed BB Bribe remained separate production or resource states.

The Episode 18 competition and ceremony changed the choices around Mallory. That record did not show Mallory causing a repeated new response, so the Episode 18 score remained 11.

07

Best Move Right Now

Best Move Right Now: Ask Melody, Drew, and Barrett for one specific vote or warning before the Blockbuster.

What Would Show It Worked: The relationship changes a real nomination, vote, or protection decision.

08

What the Rating Means

The clearest influence in Mallory’s Episode 18 score came from Referent Power. Mallory demonstrated it through relationships that produced trust or protection.

Mallory can be popular without controlling an Episode 18 decision, or powerful without winning the fan poll. This Episode 18 comparison shows where Mallory’s two stories currently meet or separate.

What to Watch For Next

What response will show that Mallory’s influence still reaches beyond one conversation?

Why It Matters: If someone follows through, Mallory has usable protection. If no one does, the relationship has reached its limit.
