How this is scored
| Input | Points |
|---|---|
| Eviction votes received so farper eviction vote with their name on it, all season | +1 |
| Votes at the last evictionper vote against them at the most recent eviction | +2 |
| Times nominatedper earlier week on the block (first nominee or replacement) | +2 |
| Earlier HOH and Veto winsper earlier win: comp winners are seen as threats (this week's HOH and Veto holder are safe and left out) | +1 |
| Voted against the houseif their last eviction vote went against the majority | +3 |
Scored once the week's and winners are known (they are safe and left out), but without this week's , which would give the answer away. Only things that already happened count. Ties are listed A to Z. A vote counts toward the hit rate when more than 5 people were at risk and at least one of them had a score.
This is a simple model, not a prediction engine: it can't see alliances forming, camp life, idols nobody knows about or the house's side deals. The “by chance” number is what picking 5 names at random would score on the same votes.
