Player at a Glance

Mallory Keeps the Same Ratings as the Next Test Changes

Mallory voted against Rome while keeping several protective relationships and her earlier Devens exchange. The episode also changed the house around Mallory: Jason, Melody, and Rome entered the Blockbuster in danger. Jason won and became safe, leaving Melody and Rome as the final nominees. Taylor voted to evict Melody. The other twelve voters evicted Rome, sending him out 12–1.

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 voted against Rome while keeping several protective relationships and her earlier Devens exchange.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 ↔ Lyric 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 ↔ Lyric · Current test

Mallory voted against Rome while keeping several protective relationships and her earlier Devens exchange. 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

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

Position Analysis

The Current Power Mix Defines the Position

Mallory voted against Rome while keeping several protective relationships and her earlier Devens exchange. 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 voted against Rome while keeping several protective relationships and her earlier Devens exchange. The next test is whether Mallory ↔ Lyric produces a concrete vote, protection, nomination, or information response.

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.

For Mallory, the player-specific evidence is clear: Mallory voted against Rome while keeping several protective relationships and her earlier Devens exchange. 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 ↔ Lyric 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.

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 voted against Rome while keeping several protective relationships and her earlier Devens exchange. 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

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

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.
