Current Ratings
Clearest Supporting Evidence
| Power | Evidence and Response | Why It Mattered and Where It Stopped |
|---|---|---|
| Referent Power | Rome remained close to Lyric, worked with Chuk, and participated in Four Seasons and the voting bloc. | The network stayed broad. His failed Haley push showed that closeness did not guarantee decision control. |
| Reward Power | The prior limited assistance resource was not sustained at the same level. | No current benefit changed another player’s response, so Reward Power returned to 1. |

Power Shifts
Episode 4

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

Position Analysis
Rome’s Relationships Hold as an Earlier Benefit Expires
Rome had many relationships but could not persuade Dee to use Haley as the replacement. The episode showed the difference between being connected and controlling a formal decision.
Bottom Line: Rome retained broad relationship power (Referent 3), but no current benefit supported Reward Power above 1. The next test is whether his network coordinates in the live vote.
06
Performance, Structure, and Chance
Rome retained a premiere Safety Lock and was a safe voter.
Round 1 Time Capsule voting remained active with no known recipient or result. The future Blockbuster could change safety and the final matchup, but its outcome was outside this boundary.

Best Move Right Now
There is not enough evidence yet to name a supported best move.

What to Watch For Next
