These are the clearest and most consequential examples supporting Mallory’s six current power ratings—not every observed or attempted use of power.

Legitimate Power2

A limited agreement or accepted promise gives the player some influence.

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 or judgment 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 response in a limited setting.

Position Analysis

Where Mallory Stands After Episode 8

The strongest part of Mallory’s profile came from Referent Power. A concrete response supports that profile: Mallory voted against Rome while keeping several protective relationships and her earlier Devens exchange.

Bottom Line: Mallory could still use several forms of influence (Legitimate 2, Reward 2, Expert 2, Referent 3, and Informational 2). Mallory produced a meaningful response, but its reach remained limited to the evidence above. A concrete choice from Lyric would reveal how far the relationship can reach.

06

Performance, Structure, and Chance

Jason’s Blockbuster win gave temporary safety and changed the final matchup. Rome’s lack of veto access and Blockbuster loss narrowed his escape routes. The 12–1 vote still reflected individual choices rather than one automatic alliance response. All Week 2 formal authority and Safety Locks expired at the cycle boundary.

07

Best Move Right Now

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

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

08

What the Rating Means

Mallory’s Episode 8 profile leaned most heavily on Referent Power. For Mallory, that meant the clearest influence came from relationships that produced trust or protection.

What to Watch For Next

Can Mallory turn the named relationship into a vote, protection, or useful warning?

Why It Matters: Mallory needs more than access; a vote, warning, or protection from Lyric would show practical influence.
