01

Player at a Glance

Mallory Keeps the Same Ratings as the Next Test Changes

Mallory continued protecting Melody and retained her earlier reciprocal deal with Devens. The episode also changed the house around Mallory: Devens used the veto on Lyric and named Rome as the replacement nominee. Lyric became safe and told Devens that she owed him, while Jason, Melody, and Rome became the three players headed to the Blockbuster. The competition and eviction had not happened at this cutoff.

Current Position: Rank 5 of 16 with a Total Power Score of 12.

Rank and Score Movement: Rank 4 → Rank 5; Total Power Score 12 → 12.

Clearest Response: Mallory continued protecting Melody and retained her earlier reciprocal deal with Devens.

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 Power2

A narrow agreement or accepted obligation gives limited decision standing.

Reward Power2

A limited benefit or protection promise produces a response.

Coercive Power1

No current credible consequence is changing another player’s response.

Expert Power2

Ability or judgment is visible, but repeated deference is not established.

Referent Power3

Several voluntary relationships provide trust, protection, or coordination.

Informational Power2

Information changes a response in a limited setting.

Clearest Supporting Evidence

PowerEvidence and ResponseWhy It Mattered and Where It Stopped
Referent PowerMallory continued protecting Melody and retained her earlier reciprocal deal with Devens.The observed response or demonstrated consequence supports the current profile. Its reach stops where other players kept independent motives or no further response was demonstrated.
Relationships and InformationMallory → Melody was the most relevant relationship path at this cutoff.The connection mattered only to the choices it actually changed; an alliance name or favorable result did not add automatic credit.

03

Relationships and Alliances

Most Significant Relationship

Mallory → Melody · Current test

Mallory continued protecting Melody and retained her earlier reciprocal deal with Devens. This relationship mattered because a named action or response affected the player’s options. Its reach remained limited to the people and decision described.

Most Significant Alliance or Group

Current Relationship Network · Active but limited

The player retained named relationship access, while the current episode did not establish a new broad alliance response.

Power Shifts

Mallory’s Total Power Score Holds at 12 While the Episode Changes the Test Ahead

Total Power Score: 12 → 12

Why: Mallory continued protecting Melody and retained her earlier reciprocal deal with Devens.

What Changed: No individual power rating changed.

What Stayed the Same: Legitimate Power 2, Reward Power 2, Coercive Power 1, Expert Power 2, Referent Power 3, and Informational Power 2.

Why It Matters: The episode changed the situation around Mallory, but the evidence did not cross another full rating threshold.

05

Position Analysis

The Current Power Mix Defines the Position

Mallory continued protecting Melody and retained her earlier reciprocal deal with Devens. The current score places the player’s strongest evidence in Referent Power. That influence worked through the named response, while the present limit is that no episode result can be credited to Mallory alone. Rank movement can also occur when other players’ scores change even if this score holds.

Bottom Line: Mallory could still use several forms of influence (Legitimate 2, Reward 2, Expert 2, Referent 3, and Informational 2). Mallory continued protecting Melody and retained her earlier reciprocal deal with Devens. The next test is whether Mallory → Melody produces a concrete vote, protection, nomination, or information response.

06

Performance, Structure, and Chance

Lyric’s Safety Lock came from Devens’s veto use. Jason, Melody, and Rome still had equal Blockbuster access, while Devens remained safe as HOH. Angela’s punishment and the still-open Round 2 audience vote remained separate from in-house power. The Blockbuster result and vote were outside this boundary.

For Mallory, the player-specific evidence is clear: Mallory continued protecting Melody and retained her earlier reciprocal deal with Devens. Competition access, safety, production rules, and chance are recorded separately from the six powers unless another player’s response or a demonstrated consequence supports a rating.

07

Best Move Right Now

Best Move Right Now: Turn Mallory → Melody into one clear commitment before the next decision.

What Would Show It Worked: The named player or group changes a vote, nomination, protection, or information choice for Mallory.

08

What the Rating Means

The score shows the kinds of influence Mallory could still use at this cutoff. Referent Power supplied the strongest part of the profile, while the next game decision would show whether that influence could reach beyond the relationships already observed.

Public Opinion

Fan Rank and Vote Share by Week

Rank 1 is the highest fan position. Only completed results available before this page’s cutoff are shown.

Source: Big Brother Network Favorite Houseguest poll. The current local dataset records the rank and share but does not record a published response count or repeat-voting rule. The poll measures participating fans, while RPM uses demonstrated responses inside the house. Fan support is not scored as Referent Power.

Official Audience Action: Angela’s Round 1 Egg Detective punishment remained a separate production-designed audience action.

A Question Worth Following

Is RPM seeing the same strong game that fans are responding to? Mallory ranks 5 in RPM and 3 in the Week 1 fan poll. Mallory continued protecting Melody and retained her earlier reciprocal deal with Devens. Strong in-house responses could help explain the match, while visibility, personality, or the television edit could also shape fan support.

What to Watch For Next

Does Mallory’s most important relationship produce a concrete response?

Why It Matters: The answer will show whether Mallory’s current ratings produce a new observable response or remain limited to the evidence already recorded.
