Current Ratings
Clearest Supporting Evidence
| Power | Evidence and Response | Why It Mattered and Where It Stopped |
|---|---|---|
| Referent Power | Mallory and Lyric agreed they needed to trust each other most, and Mallory initially reassured Ashley. | Those voluntary ties remained meaningful. Mallory’s distrust of Jason showed a clear boundary. |
| Legitimate and Reward Power | Mallory used the veto on herself, so the decision right and protection resource were spent. | She converted the resource into safety. The temporary powers correctly returned to 1 after use. |
03
Relationships and Alliances
Most Significant Relationships

Power Shifts
Episode 4
Mallory’s Total Power Score Falls by 3 Because Her Used Veto Ends the Temporary Authority and Benefit
Total Power Score: 13 → 10
Why: Mallory used the veto on herself and received a Safety Lock. The action ended her narrow veto authority and the benefit she controlled, dropping Legitimate and Reward Power while her trusted relationships remained.
What Changed: Legitimate Power 3 → 1; Reward Power 2 → 1.
What Stayed the Same: Coercive Power 1, Expert Power 2, Referent Power 3, and Informational Power 2.
Why It Matters: Mallory made the structurally correct move and became safe. Her score fell because a temporary resource ended, not because the move failed or her relationships disappeared.

Position Analysis
Mallory Becomes Safe as Her Temporary Veto Power Expires
Mallory made the structurally correct move and became safe. Her score fell because a temporary resource ended, not because the move failed or her relationships disappeared.
Bottom Line: Mallory’s formal veto power ended, while her voluntary relationships remained available (Referent 3). The next test is whether Lyric and the voting bloc follow her preference after the resource is gone.
06
Performance, Structure, and Chance
Mallory’s Safety Lock activated after veto use. The lock protected her, while the veto authority itself expired.
Round 1 Time Capsule voting remained active with no known recipient or result. The future Blockbuster could change safety and the final matchup, but its outcome was outside this boundary.

Best Move Right Now
There is not enough evidence yet to name a supported best move.

What to Watch For Next
Who follows Mallory’s vote preference now that the veto is gone?
Why It Matters: The response would show what influence remains when she must rely on relationships rather than a game resource.
