Will Cody Flirt His Way To The Final Two?

Has there ever been a player on BB whose sole strategy was to flirt and cuddle with the girls all the way to the end?  Is Cody breaking new ground here?  He has cuddled with every single female in the house. Even Jocasta!

Sometimes it's a little touch here and there, an arm around the shoulder, a hug and a little snuggle. Then there is the full on cuddle-fest that can last for hours. He cuddles with them one, two, three at a time. He climbs right on top of them. Just plops himself down on top of  them to snuggle and tickle and get them to play with his hair.

Around week three it became obvious that Cody was every girls favorite for a cuddle partner. He would come out to the back yard, stroll over to the couch, give one girl a full body hug, and lay down on top of her for five minutes while they had a flirty little convo. Then he moves on to another girl, gives her a big hug, and lays down with his head in her lap, so she can play with his hair. A new girl joins the couch crew, sits down next to Cody, and puts her legs over his and starts tickling his arm. This scene is replayed hourly with different combinations of girls. It really is quite impressive how he can do all this cuddling without any smooching or show-mance shenanigans.   

It is impossible for him to sit next to a female and not touch her. His hands seem to have a life of their own as they just mosey on over to touch a shoulder, an arm, a hand, a leg, a foot. It doesn't really matter which body part he is touching. If a girl sits down next to him he is going to touch her within minutes.

He loves to have them play with his hair. They seem happy to oblige. Hayden had the girls playing with his hair too. And he flirted and cuddled them as well. But he can't compete with Cody. Cody is a master flirt. A genius cuddle-buddy. Cody has mad snuggle skills!

In fact, he is so good at it, that his alliance sends him out on flirt patrol and cuddle missions. Practically every strategy meeting with his alliance includes somebody telling Cody that he has to flirt with a girl for the plan to be successful.  This week his task is to flirt with Christine and keep her away from Frankie. 

In past seasons, guys have used flirting to get things done. But each guy would have just one girl he would sweet talk to work the game plan of the week. I don't recall any guys successfully flirting with more than one girl. The flirt strategy holds serious dangers.  Jealousy from the girls, and wariness and mistrust from the guys. In the BB house, flirting is dangerous business.

We are down to only three girls left in the house, and the flirty thing might not be the best game to play right now. Christine cannot be near Cody without touching him. The Christine-Cody cuddling has become so constant and obvious it is making the other girls uncomfortable. Nicole and Victoria are very suspicious of how intimate Christine and Cody are with each other.

But they put the blame on Christine, for touching Cody. It's all her fault! She's a married woman!!!  Even as they express their mistrust of Cody for kissing-up to the HOH, they blame Christine for being all over Cody. They have a good cry during all this trash talk. Then they pull themselves together and get in line to cuddle with Cody.

Will Cody simply flirt his way to the final two? How do you explain the flirt strategy in your jury speech? What can he say?  "I spent countless hours letting all the girls touch me all over and play with my hair. I let Amber tickle my arm for four hours straight.  I was the key player in every big move strategy, because I would have to flirt with a girl to get her to do what we wanted. Sometimes I had to flirt with two or three girls at a time!  I flirted with Christine for three whole months, and I deserve to win!"

This speech wouldn't get my jury vote. But it would make great TV. 

                                                     Have a Dorky Day!
