Expert Power2

Ability or judgment is visible, but other players have not repeatedly followed that judgment.

Position Analysis

Where Mallory Stands After Episode 6

At this cutoff, Referent Power stood out most in Mallory’s score. The clearest example came through this exchange: Mallory’s reciprocal non-nomination deal with Devens was delivered when he kept her off the block.

Bottom Line: Mallory could still use several forms of influence (Legitimate 2, Reward 2, Expert 2, Referent 3, and Informational 2). The influence was real at this cutoff, though the next choice could expose its limit. The relationship’s value depends on whether Devens changes a vote, nomination, protection, or information choice.

06

Performance, Structure, and Chance

Devens won both HOH and veto, giving him safety and official decision-making power. Jason, Lyric, and Melody were nominated, while Rome lacked direct veto access because of the draw. Angela’s punishment and the open Round 2 audience vote were conditions created by the game. The ceremony and any eviction result remained future evidence.

07

Best Move Right Now

Best Move Right Now: Ask Devens for one clear commitment before the next decision.

What Would Show It Worked: Devens follows through by changing a vote, nomination, protection, or information choice.

08

What the Rating Means
