Player at a Glance

Mallory’s Position After Episode 23

The episode gave Mallory a clear role in the week: Mallory’s blindside account helped shift trust away from Drew and Barrett, but the response remained part of a shared chain.

Episode 23 began with the fallout from Kamu’s 8–1 eviction. Yash, Taylor, and LaTrice mapped the blindside while Mallory and Melody blamed Drew and Barrett. Trust shifted across Mosh Pit, Crossovers, FAP, and the smaller relationships inside them.

Current Position: Rank 6 of 11 with a Total Power Score of 11.

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

Clearest Response: Mallory’s blindside account helped shift trust away from Drew and Barrett, but the response remained part of a shared chain.

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 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 · Relationship to Watch

Mallory’s connection with Melody remained worth watching at the Episode 23 cutoff. A vote, warning, or protection decision after Episode 23 will show how much weight it carries for Mallory.

Most Significant Alliance or Group

FAP · Cohesive internally but distrustful externally

Mallory and Melody remained close after the blindside, but their blame toward Drew and Barrett showed that FAP no longer acted as one unit.

Power Shifts

Mallory’s Power Ratings Hold at 11 as Dee Takes HOH and Names Nominees

Total Power Score: 11 → 11

Why: Mallory’s blindside account helped shift trust away from Drew and Barrett, but the response remained part of a shared chain.

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.

Position Analysis

Where Mallory Stands After Episode 23

Referent Power remained the strongest part of Mallory’s profile. That reading fits the Episode 23 evidence: Mallory’s blindside account helped shift trust away from Drew and Barrett, but the response remained part of a shared chain.

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 helps Mallory when the veto decision tests the nominations.

06

Performance, Structure, and Chance

Dee’s HOH win created safety and formal authority, not Expert Power. The accepted BB Bribe was a real resource response; the future obligation remained opportunity-dependent. Drew’s Never-Not Pass was an audience-created structural resource and did not protect him from nomination. Veto access and results remained outside this cutoff.

The Episode 23 results changed the board around Mallory, not the power evidence. Mallory stayed at 11 because no new response pattern was established by the Episode 23 cutoff.

07

Best Move Right Now

Best Move Right Now: Turn the relationship with Melody into a clear veto or protection plan.

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

08

What the Rating Means

Referent Power was the strongest part of Mallory’s Episode 23 score. In Mallory’s game, the evidence came from relationships that produced trust or protection.

The fan poll records audience support for Mallory, while RPM follows influence inside the Episode 23 house.
