Player at a Glance
Taylor’s Position After Episode 16
Taylor’s clearest development came through one interaction: Taylor repeatedly redirected LaTrice away from Devens and toward Haley while keeping public ownership with the HOH.
Episode 16 began immediately after Lyric’s eviction. Haley still misunderstood how the 8–3 vote came together, while the players who helped organize it began repositioning for a new week. LaTrice then won the Wall and became the Week 5 HOH.
Current Position: Rank 7 of 13 with a Total Power Score of 11.
Rank and Score Movement: Rank 6 → Rank 7; Total Power Score 11 → 11.
Clearest Response: Taylor repeatedly redirected LaTrice away from Devens and toward Haley while keeping public ownership with the HOH.

Current Ratings
Clearest Supporting Evidence
| Power | Evidence and Response | Why It Mattered and Where It Stopped |
|---|---|---|
| Referent Power | Taylor repeatedly redirected LaTrice away from Devens and toward Haley while keeping public ownership with the HOH. | The named response supports the current rating. Its reach stops where another player chose differently or no additional response was demonstrated. |
| Relationships and Information | Taylor ↔ LaTrice and Yash was the most important relationship path at this cutoff. | The bond mattered only to choices it actually changed; the relationship or alliance name did not add automatic credit. |

Most Significant Alliance or Group
Cross-group relationships · Useful but not unified
In Episode 16, Taylor retained individual connections across the house without one alliance controlling every response.

Position Analysis
Where Taylor Stands After Episode 16
The strongest part of Taylor’s profile came from Referent Power and Informational Power. A concrete response supports that profile: Taylor repeatedly redirected LaTrice away from Devens and toward Haley while keeping public ownership with the HOH.
Bottom Line: Taylor still had these forms of influence available (Expert 2, Referent 3, and Informational 3). Taylor produced a meaningful response, but its reach remained limited to the evidence above. A concrete choice from LaTrice and Yash would reveal how far the relationship can reach.
06
Performance, Structure, and Chance
LaTrice’s endurance win created HOH safety and formal authority, not Expert Power. Haley could not compete as the outgoing HOH. Mallory’s public selection for the Time Capsule was an outside intervention, not proof of popularity-based power inside the house. Devens’s Diamond Veto and Dee’s BB Bribe remained unused resources.
The Episode 16 results changed the board around Taylor, not the power evidence. Taylor stayed at 11 because no new response pattern was established by the Episode 16 cutoff.
