01

Player at a Glance

Mallory’s Position After Episode 21

One event best captured Mallory’s position at the cutoff: Mallory accepted Devens’s merger proposal and helped execute FAP’s successful interruption plan.

Episode 21 began with Angela, Dee, and Haley nominated by Yash. Barrett and Melody joined them in the OTEV field, and Yash won the Golden Power of Veto. Players then built competing plans around possible veto use, replacement nominees, and Devens’s still-hidden Diamond Veto.

Current Position: Rank 8 of 12 with a Total Power Score of 11.

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

Clearest Response: Mallory accepted Devens’s merger proposal and helped execute FAP’s successful interruption plan.

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 accepted Devens’s merger proposal and helped execute FAP’s successful interruption plan.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 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

Mallory ↔ Melody and Devens · Relationship to Watch

The relationship with Melody and Devens remained Mallory’s most important connection at the Episode 21 cutoff. The next test after Episode 21 is whether someone in that relationship gives Mallory a real vote, warning, or protection.

Most Significant Alliance or Group

FAP · Cohesive internally but distrustful externally

Mallory and Melody helped FAP carry out a concealment plan before the veto ceremony, but the group had not yet faced the final vote.

04

Power Shifts

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

Total Power Score: 11 → 11

Why: Mallory accepted Devens’s merger proposal and helped execute FAP’s successful interruption plan.

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 21, the score stayed at 11.

05

Position Analysis

Where Mallory Stands After Episode 21

Mallory’s position rested most heavily on Referent Power. The episode record shows those strengths at work: Mallory accepted Devens’s merger proposal and helped execute FAP’s successful interruption plan.

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

Yash’s OTEV win created a temporary veto decision right, not Expert Power. Devens’s Diamond Veto created a separate temporary authority that expired when he used it. Dee received a Safety Lock after removal, while Angela, Haley, and Kamu retained direct Blockbuster access. The Week 5 poll was published after this cutoff and is excluded.

For Mallory, the Episode 21 events changed danger or opportunity without showing a new, repeated pattern of influence. Mallory’s Total Power Score therefore stayed at 11 at the Episode 21 cutoff.

07

Best Move Right Now

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

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

08

What the Rating Means

The clearest influence in Mallory’s Episode 21 score came from Referent Power. Mallory demonstrated it through relationships that produced trust or protection.

Official Audience Action: America previously selected Mallory for the fourth Time Capsule; she lost and selected Melody for the forced tether.

A Question Worth Following

Why do fans and RPM see Mallory so differently? At the Episode 21 cutoff, Mallory is Rank 8 in RPM and Rank 2 in the latest available fan poll. After Episode 21, the two rankings view Mallory from different places—one from the audience and one from demonstrated influence in the game. Mallory’s Episode 21 match or difference is worth following as later evidence arrives.
