Power Rating By Episode

9Episode 2 Score
6121824E1E2
How to read this graph: The Power Rating is the sum of a player’s six individual power scores. Each power is scored from 1 to 4, so the highest possible Power Rating is 24. No Power Shift is recorded at this evidence boundary.

01

Player at a Glance

Rome kept his Week 1 Safety Lock into the unresolved first HOH competition.

Current Position: Opening score of 9; no meaningful rank because all seventeen active players share the same score.

Clearest Response: No clear response from another player was visible before the cutoff.

What Changed: Safety reduced Rome’s risk, but no new player response changed his six-power profile.

02

Current Power

These are the clearest and most consequential facts supporting Rome’s opening ratings—not every observed or attempted use of power.

Legitimate Power1

No recognized right to make a game decision was demonstrated.

Reward Power1

No valued benefit changed another player’s response.

Coercive Power1

No credible consequence changed another player’s response.

Expert Power2

Other players had not repeatedly followed Rome’s advice or judgment.

Referent Power2

Early bonds or tensions had not produced broad, durable protection.

Informational Power2

Information had not repeatedly changed another player’s decision.

Clearest Supporting Evidence

No clear use of power changed another player’s response before the cutoff.

03

Relationships and Alliances

No new relationship or alliance had changed a player’s actions yet.

No alliance had shown enough coordinated action to count yet.

04

Power Shifts

No Power Shift is supported yet.

05

Position Analysis

Safety reduced Rome’s risk, but no new player response changed his six-power profile.

Bottom Line: Rome remained at 9 (Legitimate 1, Reward 1, Coercive 1, Expert 2, Referent 2, Informational 2). Episode 2 did not show enough repeated influence to change any rating.

06

Performance, Structure, and Chance

Rome was safe and served on a support platform. The support role and possible Have-Not consequence were structural.

Round 1 Time Capsule voting was open, but no recipient, challenge result, power, or punishment was known.

07

Best Move Right Now

There is not enough evidence yet to name a supported best move.

08

What the Rating Means

The score still shows an opening profile, not a full picture of Rome’s game. A higher rating requires a clear response to authority, a benefit, a consequence, judgment, a valued relationship, or information.

09

Public Opinion

No completed public-opinion result is available at this Evidence Cutoff.

Official Audience Action: Round 1 Time Capsule voting was active, but no recipient or result was known. It is recorded separately from fan ranking.

What to Watch For Next

Who approaches Rome because his safety makes him a useful early partner?

Why It Matters: A voluntary commitment or information exchange would show whether safety helps him build Referent or Informational Power.
