Inviso 12/13/18 6:08:39 PM #170:	5. Cody & Jessica (The Amazing Race 30, 1st Place) To really discuss Cody & Jessica, its first important to know their overall storyline from Big Brother 19. See, this wasnt a rehash of Jordeff or Brenchel or Keithney, where you had a showmance between two characters who were, for all intents and purposes, just characters in a larger season of the show. Sure, thats an understatement for Brenchel in BB12, where they were pretty much the sole source of entertainmentbut they were also the VILLAINS of that season. And sure, Jordeff were fan favorites, but they were surrounded by large casts of complex characters. And Keithneywere contestants on Survivor: South Pacific. Its a slightly different story for Cody & Jessica. In Jodys case, their lives were absolute HELL for the first half of the season, until both were mercifully eliminated from the game. Paul, in his quest to win without learning from his initial loss or maybe toning down his awful behavior, instead opted to foster a cultlike mindset where EVERYONE in the house had to be as awful as he was in order to temper the bitterness people might feel towards him in particular. And when Cody tried (rightfully so) to take Paul out in week one, that set Jody apart from the rest of the house for the rest of their time in the season. Other players werent even allowed to SPEAK to them without falling under intense scrutiny, and anyone who befriended Jody soon found themselves headed out the door on their heels. Of course, Jody won in the end, with Cody casting the vote that cost Paul his second attempt at Big Brother glory, and Cody winning the fan favorite award for his opposition to the awful people in the house. Now, were Jody great people in their own rights? They definitely had their flaws: Cody had some backwards views, and Jess seemed like the kind of person who, if not for Cody blowing up her game, wouldve gladly become a Paul toadie. But whatever my opinions, these were genuine fan favorites who managed to maintain a showmance that I thought would fall apart the second they regained their support systems in the outside world. --- Touch fuzzy.
