Referent PowerTaylor repaired enough trust with Dee to coordinate and built repeated strategic commitment with LaTrice.Those relationships produced active cooperation. They had not yet delivered final votes.

03

Power Shifts

Episode 3

Taylor’s Total Power Score Rises by 2 Because Repaired Relationships and Target Information Change Shared Planning

Total Power Score: 9 → 11

Why: Taylor disclosed target information, coordinated replacement ideas and vote counts with LaTrice and Dee, and reported no continuing hard feelings after the nomination. Those responses raised Referent and Informational Power while she remained nominated.

What Changed: Referent Power 2 → 3; Informational Power 2 → 3.

What Stayed the Same: Legitimate Power 1, Reward Power 1, Coercive Power 1, and Expert Power 2.

Why It Matters: Taylor turned early social damage and nomination pressure into active planning relationships. The remaining limit was delivery: coordinated conversations had not yet become enough votes or safety.

05

Position Analysis

Repaired Trust and Vote Coordination Raise Taylor’s Power

Taylor turned early social damage and nomination pressure into active planning relationships. The remaining limit was delivery: coordinated conversations had not yet become enough votes or safety.

Bottom Line: Taylor’s strongest tools were voluntary coordination and decision-shaping information (Referent 3, Informational 3). The next test is whether those relationships deliver explicit vote commitments.

06

Performance, Structure, and Chance

Taylor remained nominated and under high pressure and did not control the veto. Her power ratings describe protection and coordination attempts, not safety.

Round 1 Time Capsule voting remained active with no known recipient or result. Competition access, safety, pressure, and production-designed rules remained separate from the six ratings.

07

Best Move Right Now

Best Move Right Now: Convert repaired trust into explicit vote commitments rather than relying only on the future Blockbuster.

What Would Show It Worked: Named voters commit to keeping Taylor and continue coordinating after the replacement nominee is set.

08

What the Rating Means

The Episode 3 score brings together the influence Taylor could demonstrate at this cutoff. Informational Power and Referent Power supplied the clearest evidence, while the stated limits show where those responses had not yet reached.

09

Public Opinion

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

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

What to Watch For Next

Who gives Taylor an explicit vote commitment?

Why It Matters: Delivered commitments would show whether her relationships can protect her under real pressure.
