Current Ratings
Clearest Supporting Evidence
| Power | Evidence and Response | Why It Mattered and Where It Stopped |
|---|---|---|
| Referent Power | LaTrice and Jason reassured Taylor, and her existing protection network stayed with the matchup. | The relationships provided real protection. Some voters were also choosing to remove Ashley rather than committing broadly to Taylor. |
| Informational Power | Taylor’s earlier vote and target channels remained available. | The unanimous result did not by itself prove new decision-shaping information. |
03
Relationships and Alliances
Most Significant Relationships
Taylor remained protected by LaTrice and received reassurance from Jason.
Most Significant Alliances and Groups
The temporary keep-Taylor bloc delivered the result but was not treated as a durable alliance.
04
Power Shifts
Taylor’s Total Power Score Holds at 11 Because Her Established Protection Works in This Matchup without Changing a Rating
Total Power Score: 11 → 11
Why: Yash won the Blockbuster, leaving Taylor beside Ashley in the final vote. LaTrice and Jason reassured Taylor, and all fourteen voters evicted Ashley. Taylor’s score held at 11 because survival was the result, not proof that she caused every vote. Her rank moved from tied third to tied seventh.
What Changed: No individual power rating changed; Total Power Score remained 11.
What Stayed the Same: Legitimate Power 1, Reward Power 1, Coercive Power 1, Expert Power 2, Referent Power 3, and Informational Power 3.
Why It Matters: Taylor’s relationships helped keep her, but a 14–0 vote did not mean fourteen players had become loyal to her. Several voters were removing Ashley or preserving house cover.
05
Position Analysis
Taylor Survives Without a Score Increase
Taylor’s relationships helped keep her, but a 14–0 vote did not mean fourteen players had become loyal to her. Several voters were removing Ashley or preserving house cover.
Bottom Line: Taylor retained protection and information channels (Referent 3, Informational 3), but the unanimous survival vote did not create new power automatically. The next test is which voters protect her when the matchup is no longer Ashley.
06
Performance, Structure, and Chance
Taylor lost the Blockbuster but survived the vote. The competition and matchup mattered without changing her power ratings automatically.
The Week 1 cycle ended with no active HOH, nominees, or Safety Locks. Round 1 Time Capsule remained active with no known recipient or result.
07
Best Move Right Now
There is not enough evidence yet to name a supported best move.
08
What the Rating Means
The current score shows the mix of influence Taylor could still use after the first eviction cycle. Referent Power and Informational Power supplied the clearest evidence, while the stated limits identify what had not yet been delivered or tested.
09
Public Opinion
No completed public-opinion result is available at this Evidence Cutoff.
Official Audience Action: The Time Capsule twist had been announced, but no recipient or result was known. It is recorded separately from fan ranking.

What to Watch For Next
Who protects Taylor when keeping her is no longer the house-wide choice?
Why It Matters: That response would reveal which Week 1 votes came from durable relationships rather than the Ashley matchup.
