If being a worthy winner of BB was solely about comp wins, then there would be no need for a jury. All you would have to do is add up comp wins. There’s more to the game than that.
Right but his ass won that way so he gone defend it to the death
This. 100%
Nobody is saying comp wins only.
@@kareemgriffin7835no Cody did not only win because of comp wins. He won because he dominated 22.
@@kareemgriffin7835 Nope...he also won because he placed himself in a position where he was never going to be the main target once the dominant alliance had to start eating their own
I wish Cody had listened to Taylor's deep dive. She absolutely laid out what a "strategic" social game was and the way she went in knowing what archetypes of players to look for and how to use these different types of players to further her in the game (where she was able to). She talked about how much she's planned to work with Kyle because of his "role" in the cast.
I love Taylor but the whole deep dive seemed revisionist re her "strategy". Either way, she owned that final 2 speech and sooo glad she won!
That is called revisionist history. It is where you go back and say “I was doing this because of that.” When at the time, you definitely were not.
She had zero game. People just felt bad for her.
She ended him on big brother reindeer games
I’m curious how closely he watched BB24, because reducing Taylor’s game to not being on the block seems… incorrect.
That’s exactly what Taylor said her main strategy was…
@@MegaJuniorJones not true. 🤦♀️
He’s 100% correct.
People may not like the way Cam played if he got to the end. That’s not a bitter juror. When was Cody this nice guy in Season 22? He hung out with the people he was in an alliance with.
Staying off the block is a social strategy. Cody had to make a dig at Taylor. Monte was the catalyst to the house going against Taylor. Monte didn’t fix his relationship with Indy,Jasmine & Alyssa. Monte also insulted Brittany constantly & he didn’t fix that before she went to jury.
Monte didn’t manage the jury. I loved Season 23!!!
Thank you! Monte berated Brittany for 2 hours on live feeds. He was NEVER getting her vote🤣 He evicted Alyssa by breaking a tie, so he wasn’t getting Kyle or Alyssa’s vote. Michael and Joseph were Taylor’s closest allies and played the game more closely with Taylor. Taylor kept Jasmine off the block during her HOH and mended things prior to eviction. Indy respected how Taylor handled the block and her goodbye message. Taylor’s Jury Management kicked a$$!
Cody specifically talks about hanging out primarily with Janelle in this very interview, and wanting to work with Kaysar but Kaysar and Janelle started to target him so he had no choice.
Cody was quite nice to Kevin. Kevin was not nice to Cody. This is part of the reason Kevin voted for Cody.
There's no doubt he played one of the best winning games of all time, but I have to highlight the stand-out quote from this interview: "If I'm apart of the season, I want it to be as boring as possible. ... I'll take having one of the most boring seasons of all time for what was then 500,000 dollars." If producers knew this back then they would surely not have cast him but credit to Cody for acknowledging the road he took to winning and owning it. He seems to have studied, prepared, and embodied the winner mindset before stepping foot into the house while the fan favorites came in for the experience, hoping to luck into a win (Janelle, Nicole A., Keesha, Kaysar). Unfortunately, us viewers were the true losers after hyping up what was probably single-handedly the worst season of Big Brother, ever, but respect to Cody and he's definitely the cream of the crop for what he's accomplished in both of his runs.
Lol it wasn’t that bad. It was mostly bad because the lack of backyard access, colder temps, and low sun caused some players to be a little more down than normal.
The selection was…unique. Nicole A, David, Keesha, being included were weird choices. I’m glad Josh didn’t play as he was very annoying and Kaycee would have been fine being a past winner but she is also zero Strat and all comp, so quite boring.
It was covid and that made selection process challenging. I think the most surprising returning player was Memphis! Did not expect him to come In and be so strategically strong after so long.
I don’t blame him. Boring means no surprises. You can’t plan for surprises.
I died at "Unfortunately, us viewers were the true losers after hyping up what was probably single-handedly the worst season of Big Brother" because it's so true. Such a disappointment.
Cody went into the house to win the money. He wasn't there to entertain and make good tv. He researched his job, went to work, and won the money. No one can fault him for that. If I had to choose, I'd choose the money.
I really enjoyed this interview, Sharon. I liked the younger Cory on 16 and the wiser one on 22. He played the hand he was dealt. It is nice that he is so open about the challenges of reality tv and the anguish he experienced in Traitors.
Another terrible take from Cody! The social aspect of Big Brother is important. Taylor wasn’t even liked in the house so I’m not sure how she used her personality to win. Monte couldn’t even explain his own game during the Q&A and final speech. He was actually embarrassing, so he definitely deserved to lose for even taking Taylor to the end. Especially knowing how good she is at delivering a speech.
Completely agree!! Taylor’s whole social game was coming off the block each time in a better strategic position than she was in beforehand!!
I remember watching that night and saying Monte's biggest oversight was sitting beside Taylor. As a pageant girl, she has extensive training and practice to answer questions on the fly and in a way that supports her point. She absolutely owned him in those final questions.
That’s exactly what Cody said. That social STRATEGY is important. Just being likable on its own isn’t.
What he said makes perfect sense. If you’re naturally likable then that in itself doesn’t mean anything if you don’t use that strategically.
In Taylor’s first HoH she was all over the place. It made no sense. Go rewatch it.
@@MegaJuniorJones oh I see. You’re just going through the comments defending Cody. 💀 You’re loud and wrong. 😂
Love Cody’s energy and enthusiasm!!
Cody won against Enzo but originally he didn't want to sit next to him at the end due to his social game. Cody even says it so he's contradicting himself. Derrick and him said Cam's one of the best to do it and I'm like clearly they just count comp wins. There's a reason he has to win comps to stay because his social game is terrible. Winning comps does matter but being able to successfully adapt to the dynamics of the house matters more.
Both Derek and Cody said Cam has terrible social skills lol.
Cam has zero social game. Cody being so sure he'd win if he made F2 is a headscratcher.
He would have Atleast a dozen comp wins so I don't get how he wouldn't unless he went up a certain few
He locked down the jury.
@@MegaJuniorJoneswho Cam? Cuz that's totally wrong.
Cody and Derrick don't keep up with live feeds much.
@@MegaJuniorJoneslocked them down so much they evicted him unanimously
Sharon is amazing. Even the players I dont care so much for, she makes the interviews compelling and gives me a new perspective and understanding. Absolutely the best interviewer in the BB world. No knock at all against the others. Her interviews give off the vibe of eavesdropping on 2 friends talking instead of a traditional interview. She has a way of getting players to open up and share.
wow, thank you so much! this is seriously the highest compliment and what I'm always aiming for with my interviews ❤
Your interviews continue to be great! I have season tickets at this point and will be watching them all, thanks for the time and effort and of course thanks Cody for sharing and being so open.
"Janelle wasnt on my radar"
He was going to nominate both her and Kaysar though on the first week???
Literally night one when Julie talked to him in the DR after he won HOH he was talking about Kaysar. He hated him from the jump.
Cirie does have a good poker face what is he talking about
His ego is too big to admit Cirie didn’t even lift a finger and still crushed him like a tin can.
@@EK-9vvcrushed who?
@@MegaJuniorJones Cody. They were on the Traitors together and Cirie ran circles around him, then targeted him and got him voted out.
How is he going to criticize Taylor when it took him two times to win. And he wouldn’t have made it to F2 in S16 if production didn’t rig it for him and Derek. Cody would have went home had they not reset Frankie Grande’s week. Taylor influenced several evictions, took several risks by going on the block to help keep her alliance successful, she used goodbye messages to Indy, Jasmine and Alyssa to clarify her intent behind her game moves, and she was able to grow social bonds. That’s a winner. And there was no safety powers to help her either.
Indy didn’t want to vote for a man. Her and Jasmine discovered they were the bad guys to Taylor and didn’t want to be seen negatively so voted for her to win.
Actually, Cody wouldn't have gone the week they reset the HOH, because Derrick would've voted to keep Cody, and Caleb was 100% loyal to Cody/Derrick, so he votes to evict Victoria over Cody
It’s so crazy to think today is only day 72 out of 100, and there’s been 9 evictions already and there’s 8 people left! 😳
I may not always 100% agree with Cody, but that's Ok. I still love listening to his takes and POV. Cody is old school Big Brother. He's a competitor and a gamer. You can't take that from him. Thanks Sharon for another awesome interview.
This is HILARIOUS now considering Taylor ended him on big brother reindeer games
Thanks Cody !!
Cody is by far thee coolest guy to ever be on that show. Wish I was friends with him lol
i loved hearing about cody and pauline’s dynamic. i swear i never really hear much about their conversations with each other about their different experiences and it’s interesting.
Jury management is apart of having a good social game. That's why taylor won, not bc ppl felt sorry for her
And she won 2 HOH’s(The Wall, F4 Guaranteed finale). Both Micheal and Joseph said that they were influenced by Taylor. Michael evicted Daniel because of Taylor(despite entertaining Kyle’s all white alliance). During Dyre Fest and after, Micheal refused to target Monte because he didn’t want to piss off Taylor. Taylor’s social influence shined in her jury management and goodbye messages. She won the game BEFORE her speech. It takes INFLUENCE to go from being public enemy #1 to winning 8-1. Monte’s hid behind his alliance and let his ego blind him to jury dynamics. He also failed to articulate his game strategy beyond winning comps after Michael got evicted🤷🏾♀️
To say people didn’t vote for Taylor because they felt bad for her being bullied is disingenuous. They absolutely did.
Turner even said when he got to the jury at finale they said we’re voting for Taylor and he was like “okay cool” because he did not want to be on the wrong side for publicity sake.
@@blissfullybre4679because it was clear production was pro Taylor and working with productions bias has always been a strategy.
@MegaJuniorJones every jury member denounced giving sympathy votes. Cody contradicted himself this whole interview. Small minds wouldn't understand the brilliance in Taylor's social game.
Ahh, Cody continues to have terrible takes.
Final two. Then a winner. Maybe his having been in the game twice provides a better Perspective then you?
@@MegaJuniorJones just because he placed well on his seasons, doesn’t mean saying “Big Brother isn’t a social game” is objectively wrong. Derrick won 16 because of his social game. And saying Monte deserved to win last season because he won more comps literally goes against the whole purpose of a jury. If it’s not a social game, why have a vote and jury? Either he doesn’t understand the game he played, or he’s a misogynist.
Bowie F’ING Jane will be our BB 25 Winner 🥇
Pray!
Her strategy was she didn't go home? He can't be serious. Terrible take of her game play. It's okay to say you value comp wins more but to reduce Taylor's STRATEGY to not going home just shows he never watched the feeds or even listened to any opinion other than his or Derrick's lol wow.
That is what Taylor said her strategy was at finale?
She also asked women to vote for her simply because she was a woman:
Jury Members: I Am Challenging You To Make The Hard Decision And Change The Course Of This Game And Choose Progress.
Cody is one of the most uninteresting people on the planet! I’d be fine with never seeing him on TV again. 🤞🏽
Yet you watched his hour long interview. Interesting.
@@MegaJuniorJonesif u truly believe I sat and watched this interview, you’re SLOW! Lmao
I agree with Cody about seeing Cirie’s gameplay is what keeps the viewer intrigued 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
He's not wrong though. I mean, I don't like Cody. He's an alpha straight white man. But Taylor really didn't do anything last year. I was rooting for Britney to win last year. Because Taylor is nothing like Cirie. Cirie is really influencing people and Taylor is just there...... doing nothing. At least Britney was fighting hard for herself and Michael.
I liked Britt but also liked turner. Monte was equally useless.
I’m confused Cody is just a guys guy he can care less about how women play or a guy like Cory. It’s clearly toxic masculinity. Cody’s all star season was one of the worst seasons ever lmao. And his traitors game was so bad.
Lmao had nothing to do with it being a late season and during the global pandemic
@@MegaJuniorJones it was sooooo boring
As soon as he criticized Taylor,boy Bye!!!!!
Worship????Girl you just wanted your bye too
Why her game sucked and she was helped by production. She knew how to blow Monte to win the money. She did nothing to win
@@George-jr7vv Monte was never taking Turner to the end. He thought he was going to win by a landslide because he assumed that the Jury hated Taylor. He should have done better jury management and prepared his answers for the Q&A/Final speech. He deserved to lose after that terrible speech he gave.
@@George-jr7vv Monte let his ego blind him of jury dynamics. Alyssa & Kyle were NEVER going to vote for him after he broke the tie and evicted Alyssa. Michael &Brittany were in a F3 with Taylor the ENTIRE game. Taylor kept Jasmine off of the block during her HOH despite the whole house pressing her (and had a good conversation right before her eviction). Joseph was the shield to Taylor’s sword, and had the strongest social game. Indy was influenced by Joseph and Jasmine and grew to respect Taylor’s resilience and Taylor left a dress in her bag that she liked and wore on finale night. Taylor also had a conversation with her before being evicted (jury management). And Terrance voted with the house. Monte disregarded all of this and thought he would beat Taylor because she was a woman. He only won the comps at the end because Michael wasn’t there anymore and Taylor still won F4 HOH. And Taylor highly influenced the pre-jury boot order ensuring that her biggest bullies/haters couldn’t influence the jury against her.
Lmao. That Taylor’s game is so fragile it can’t even take criticism is all we need to know. 😂
Come on Cody, just admit that you also didn’t want to be on the block next to Derrick or Enzo because your ass would’ve gone home next to either of them! 😂
This is nothing he is hiding.
cannot stand him and he only won all stars because all the men were old that he competed against, and even so Nicole almost beat him and won the game.
Hey now...I'm the same age as Memphis, and I'm pretty insulted that you consider someone who hadn't even hit 40 yet an old person
Cody's takes are so terrible LOL I just know Sharon was lowkey screaming inside. Hilarious but also annoying
She definitely wasn’t.
@@MegaJuniorJones lol. Then why did she post on Twitter saying she doesn’t agree with every opinion she hears from winners on her interviews right after this dropped?
I enjoy Cody and derricks takes on the winners circle and having you ask some behind the scenes questions about all stars 2 Sharon! I wish it didn’t take place during the pandemic because I feel like some of the people they decided to cast were a mistake.
Keesha lol
I will always be a Cirie stan, but I will say that I'm glad she has had some pushback finally this season.. Jared and Izzy were great allies that she could have really used for a few more rounds, it's still lovely to see people finally admit she has *IT* and this wasn't some riggory from CBS for her. She was always gonna have people defendin' her and people callin' her overrated, yet I think she's hundred percent proved why she's long been the goat and she always gonna be the goat. Let Mattie drag her to the end, if she's in those final two chairs, she's won again regardless of confetti; just my humble, social stan, opinion. As much as I will bitch when there's little to no high drama in a season, that's as a viewer and as a player, let's get predictable and borin' every time. As a whore for the high drama and love of iconic players though, there's always gonna be an appreciation for dominate games, too, it's just undoubtedly so much duller throughout. 😬😹😹
and, yeesss, Sharon is so on point, if you're ever asked back and I get on the same season, we good for a final two, Cody? The challenge strength that's needed anymore I am not a fan of, it's always the social moves that tickle my pickle, but, I'm here for ya Cody. 🙃🙃🙃
Nicole said her & Codys Mom talked. She knew he was going on the Show. It was obvious that alliance all knew each other & pregamed. CBS wanted Cody to win. Nicole was so angry at Cody because he was supposed to take her to F2.
Where did Nicole say this?
I enjoyed this interview and was like, hmm maybe Cody isn’t all that bad. But then I remembered what Andy said on his interview about Cody, and how dangerous his homophobic rhetoric is.
Andy has an admitted drinking problem and is generally disliked by the fandom And other competitors.
He was talking about BB19 Cody
Wrong Cody there...Andy was talking about Cody as in Jessica's husband, not about Cody Calafiore
Oh wow okay. I take it back. Sorry Cody C. 😮
I'm waiting for Matt to get Erik Reichenbach'd at F5, will be glorious
Love Cody! Was a big fan during 16 and called his win in 22!
Ok when it comes to Taylor and Monte, I 100% disagree with Cody!
I 100% agree with Cody! 🎉
He said Cam came back in the house and "settled himself in." No, he was evicted at the first opportunity.
I will never give cody props. I hated the way he treated kaysar. Period
Cody has the worst takes. 🤦♀️
Or you have the worst takes and then think your takes are right? So people with the opposite takes are wrong compared to yours?
I mean let’s be real. He has won one game against all stars and came second in another. His take is better than yours and he’s half a million bucks richer than you.
@@MegaJuniorJones have you been on Twitter? The majority agrees his takes in this video were terrible. His comments about Taylor alone were completely untrue and ridiculous. He doesn’t watch the feeds and has no idea what’s actually going on in the house. I mean he said Cam was a good player. 😂 Literally everyone hates him in the house and they’ve been targeting him for weeks and he was voted out twice. Cody has no idea what he’s talking about regarding this season or last season. And no one cares he won on all stars. That was the biggest letdown and a truly horrible season besides he pregamed to ensure he won. Like be serious. 😏
I’m glad you took the first minute to mention how unable we are to escape these guys, the pedestal people put them on, is so annoying, they played the same bland game every other white male winner played but for some reason their hearlded as the best modern BB winners, when players like Josh, Taylor, fuck, even Jackson, played with their personality, and not their lack of one
You praising Jackson says all we need to know about you. Disgusting.
Yeah...let's not put Jackson in the same mold as Josh and Taylor, because Jackson was more similar to winners like Rachel, where he had to rely on him or Holly winning as many comps as they did in order to stay in the game as long as he did, which is a sign of a really weak social game
@@NYChica23 all I said was played with a personality in tact whereas Derek was a creep standing in the distance
@@dravenrivera9060 That's inaccurate to say Derrick was a creep, because in absolutely no way did he exhibit any type of creeper behavior while he was on season 16
@@NYChica23 bcz youre using creep in a sexual way, i meant like a creeper in the distance trying to not be in the middle of everything “creeping” his way to finally
I liked Cody's analysis on social game !!
Cody is the most overrated BB player.. his pregaming win allowed ppl to forget that he made one of the worst moves in big brother history by taking derrick to final 2.
One of the worst moves they got him $550k. I’ll make that worst move all the time!
So it’s an advantage to have people’s you already know & have prior encounters with…kinda like an All-Star season, Cody?😉
Cody is a great person and a good winner and doesn’t always say smart things lol I don’t get why he gets dragged so hard. Zach W. Just went on Tysons Apostal’s podcast and said that BB twitter is the worst place he’s ever been on and it’s true.
Because if you say anything bad about Taylor or even say Taylor is not the greatest player of all time (ignoring that she wanted to put up her own alliance the first time she got hoh because she was so clueless), you are automatically not only misogynistic but racist too, and just don’t understand anything ever.
That’s what people think.
If bowies reason for getting cam out wasn't good, explain how being blindsided together in early weeks is a reason for loyalty? Who cares?
Your question doesn’t make sense.
Dude still trying to say Ryan really said that months after the show. It’s ok Cody we know you lied and got caught. Now we know what happens when daddy Derrick isn’t holding your hand and setting up your alliance for you(allegedly).
Thanks again, Sharon. Amazing interview with one of the best to ever play. Cody's comment on social game is spot on, in my opinion. What was your influence on the game? What decisions did you spearhead? Who's opinion did you change? When you were in power, how well was it used?
Exactly. “What did you DO!”
52:59
So many Taylor fan trash talk Cody because he s not overly praising her 😂😂
I enjoy watching Cody and Derrick on Winner’s Circle every week. This season of BB has not been the best. It’s too long. The Cirrie/Jerod duo was too much of an advantage for Cirrie. Too many followers and not enough leaders. I quit watching after Cam left.
🌹🌹🌹
Cody and Derrick are my all time favorite BB players 🙌🏼🙌🏼
I completely disagree with pretty much all of his opinions here. It’s why I can’t listen to his podcast. He’s almost nonsensical strategy wise - just like on Traitors.
Lol he literally says he was terrible at traitors.
I watched the Feeds S22 don’t remember Cody hanging with her. Also Janelle & Kaysar hung out with Memphis.
Cody didn’t have his boy Ryan in the game & he fell apart. He was 😡 after that and wanted to go.
Knowing Cody is friends with Memphis & Halloween speaks VOLUMES. Cody cldnt win against Nicole.
Who’s Ryan?

@@Raider714 Obviously he couldn't win against Nicole...did you really expect him to make the same mistake he did on 16 and choose friendship over winning?
Cody is so cute inside and out. I enjoy listening to him. Great interview, Sharon as always.

Wow, I agree with Cody 100% a 6 may be just right.
Cody is so opinionated and always wrong lol. This interview didnt age well (due to cody's answers, Sharon is amazing). "I dont see matt and jag riding out to the end" and did.
I would say bring us Dr. Will but I think he would only play a character all his interview soo hard pass
He would not interview
Cody please reacch out to Nicole. I don't care what people say about her. She is one of my favorite people on BB. Nicole deserves more RESPECT and credit for her game. MUCH RESPECT to you both. ❤😊
This!
Didn't Nicole end up uninviting him to her wedding after he evicted her?
I agree with Cody, Monty should’ve won!!
