Player at a Glance

Mallory’s Position After Episode 9

After Rome’s eviction, fifteen players entered Week 3. Kamu won HOH, developed a plan to backdoor Jason, and nominated Lyric, Mallory, and LaTrice as pawns. Jason recognized that he might be the real target, but he had not yet gained veto access at this cutoff.

Current Position: Rank 6 of 15 with a Total Power Score of 12.

Rank and Score Movement: Rank 5 → Rank 6; Total Power Score 12 → 12.

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 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 9

Referent Power remained the strongest part of Mallory’s profile. That reading fits the Episode 9 evidence: Mallory entered the block with several explicit protectors, showing that relationships and nomination structure could coexist.

Bottom Line: Mallory could still use several forms of influence (Legitimate 2, Reward 2, Expert 2, Referent 3, and Informational 2). The episode confirmed where Mallory’s influence worked without proving wider control. The next useful evidence should come from Her Protectors: a vote, protection, nomination change, or useful warning.

06

Performance, Structure, and Chance

Kamu’s HOH win gave her safety, nomination authority, and credible replacement consequences. Lyric, Mallory, and LaTrice became nominated pawns, while Jason faced concealed pressure. The Time Capsule twist gave Devens a Diamond Veto, but he had not used it. Veto access and chance remained future evidence.

07

Best Move Right Now

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

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

08

What the Rating Means

Referent Power was the strongest part of Mallory’s Episode 9 score. In Mallory’s game, the evidence came from relationships that produced trust or protection.
