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

Taylor became upset and withdrew after Devens skipped her greeting.

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

Clearest Response: Taylor became upset and withdrew after Devens skipped her greeting.

What Changed: The event showed a negative relationship response toward Devens. As the target of the interaction, Taylor’s own source-power ratings did not change.

02

Current Power

These are the clearest and most consequential facts supporting Taylor’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 Taylor’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

Referent ContextTaylor became upset and withdrew after Devens skipped her greeting.The event mattered to her relationship with Devens, but it measured a response to him rather than Taylor’s source power.

03

Relationships and Alliances

Taylor → Devens weakened immediately. The episode did not show whether the reaction would persist or whether either player would repair it.

No alliance had shown enough coordinated action to count yet.

04

Power Shifts

No Power Shift is supported yet.

05

Position Analysis

The event showed a negative relationship response toward Devens. As the target of the interaction, Taylor’s own source-power ratings did not change.

Bottom Line: Taylor remained at the opening power mix (Legitimate 1, Reward 1, Coercive 1, Expert 2, Referent 2, Informational 2). The episode preserved a meaningful relationship or perception signal, but the episode did not show enough repeated influence to change a rating.

06

Performance, Structure, and Chance

Taylor had a support-platform role in the unresolved HOH competition and no Safety Lock.

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 Taylor’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

When does Taylor decide whether to repair or distance herself from Devens?

Why It Matters: Her choice would reveal whether the first-impression damage becomes strategically important.
