The true testament to Cody's game is not the comp wins but the social-strategic aspect. Listening to this interview, is like listening to a summary of the whole season- because he was involved in every move, every week whether he was the HOH or not and that's why the video is so long- unlike Nicole's review which is good too but not as in-depth because she's more of a supporting character that didn't have as much involvement in the early to mid game. Cody played a nuanced game and watching him maneuver through every situation, knowing when to act and when to take a step back was truly masterful and as a viewer, I appreciated it. Good job Taran!
I love how you’ve locked down some of these interviews so swiftly and diving in without a lot of time and space in between the show ending! I feel like they have a fresh perspective that is more raw then having too much time and forgetting details and how they truly felt in those moments! Kudos to Taran for always giving a solid interview and rundown and the players for investing their time to give us the content we love to see and hear 🤩
These in depth interviews are always SO good and this is the one I was looking forward to the most! Cody played such a fantastic game and it was neat to get to hear him go through it step by step with Taran! Cody's game was so impressive this season and this was the perfect platform for him to dive into it all in detail. Nobody compares to Taran with these game analysis deep dives! Congrats to Cody, and thank you to Taran for all your work!
so glad you got cody and nicole to examine their entire BB22 game! these are my favorite to watch cause you learn so much. thank you for doing these :)
This is such an informative discussion about gameplay and strategy. I thoroughly enjoyed and appreciated it and was reminded about what I love about good BB play. Thanks, Taran and Cody. This was great!
I take a lot of issues with the way Big Brother is now, as both a game and a television show, but none of those change what Cody did this season, and what he did was play the game in front of him to near perfection.
Great interview, Taran. Thank you. Cody, you may have bored the bejesus out of us, but you played one hell of a game. Take that to the bank. Literally.
I love Taran's mind for this game. He's the only one revealing game information to the house guests. Everyone else asks about the obvious things -- things that everyone was/has talked to death about. When Cody said something about wishing he knew how many comps his alliance won during season 16, Taran was right on top of it and in 30 seconds he said 93%. When I think about how organized he must have everything BB...it's impressive. I hope Cody adjusts to being home soon -- he looks really tired. Coming out of that house is hard, but the pressure of having that money has to be weighing on him. Until he decides what he's doing with it and he does it, his thoughts are going to be consumed by it.
Cody was my pick in the beginning! I always thought he was an underrated player in BB16. His season was one of my favorite seasons. I think people don’t give him enough credit, he played a great game. He’s a lot smarter than what people give him credit for. Congratulations Cody, you deserved it!
You should add feat Cody to the title! I wouldn’t have known he was on this episode had I not clicked. This was soooo good though! So cool seeing his thoughts about it all. So thorough taran! Awesome job
Awesome interview!! Love analyzing game. I have a lot of respect for Cody for being so aware of everything in the house and everyone’s game. He’s a truly great player
Excellent Interview!! Enjoyed another recap and the extra points from Cody. Even though it was lengthy I could have listened for another 3 hours. Thank you Taran!
Enjoyed the interview! Taran is good at making the players feel comfortable. Cody does a good job here examining his decisions and explaining his reasoning.
Always can count on RHAP for quality in-depth interviews on game. Despite how boring this season was, I appreciate the amount of BB content you guys were able to churn out every week, from the LFC roundtables to the livefeed updates.
Congrats Cody! Really great run. This was a great interview and I’m glad we got it. Taran was awesome as usual. Hope that we can see other interviews as well (I’d love to seen Dani’s but I don’t think she’d do one).
Great interview !! Listening to Cody and Taran talk strategies and gameplay is awesome. This should definitely be a duo podcast for future seasons. Kind of strange to me how playing it out on the show was boring, listening to him explain it all was so interesting.
Cody is one of the all time greats. People who said he rode Derek's coat tails have to eat crow. If he didn't chose loyalty over winning the game the first time, he would be the only 2 time champ. He is in the pantheon with Will, Derek, and Dan.
I agree with you. It's funny how despite proving himself, the people who said that about him are STILL saying it and using a completely nonsensical excuse in that Derrick planned and laid out the whole season for him! Aside from the fact that Derrick wasn't in the house and the fact that the whole pregame alliance zoom call nonsense has been completely debunked, all you need is to watch this interview and it's clear that he knew what he was doing- he explains his OWN thought process every step of the way!
I enjoyed the season and the interactions of game play the were done. Perhaps subtle but great regardless, in my opinion. It was a multifaceted endeavor and as such brilliant as a diamond. Lasting. So the ones that are perhaps looking more superficially may think it was boring. Looking for fireworks. Nothing working with fireworks but I enjoyed the deeper lasting brilliance. That is for the show. I am so please Cody won, i was on a thread wondering if Nicole or Enzo would keep him. He needed to win and he did. I would say 16 and 22 are in the top for favorite seasons for me. WELL DONE>
There's a new World Record for most times using the word "like" in a 3 hour period of time. Most of them from Cody, but Taran definitely contributed. It's almost "like" it was contagious. Great interview though. Taran did a great job as usual of navigating through his game and Cody did a great job of explaining his mindset and why he was the deserving winner.
twitter been dragging him since he left the house. dont care what he says or try to spin he had a big alliance going into the house. he won but it was only because of that. he is not smart in any sense of the word, he was helped by stupid people like dani and nicole and that moron enzo.
I really liked Cody's game.. a combo of comp wins, relationships, intuition, composure under pressure, strategy. I am so happy he won, he totally deserved it.
Great interview! I still feel he hated Kaysar from the start game aside for how much he brings him up and being obsessed with him- but game well played
He would and I think he’s been asked but he said he’d never do it. I think it’s because of how everyone treated Pauli. I could be wrong but that’s honestly what I’m thinking.
Maybe. The competitions are much more intense on there. Also... he isn’t really suited for the environment they encourage... I think he would be like Victor and hate his experience.
@@Vivian-sf4ny probably. They like to haze the new people and if I was him I wouldn’t want to be around people that tried to ruin his brothers reputation. Pauli isn’t innocent by any means. I just don’t think Cody would want that kind of drama.
@@pistolasdepolo yep. He knows that. But I heard him say on the live feeds that the challenge just isn’t for him and it would be too rough on his body.
I think Cody played a great game. However, he did play before. He was good in BB16 & obviously learned a lot from that experience & since. I think that winners who played all time great games their first go around puts them above Cody on the best players to ever play BB list. That being the likes of Dr. Will, Dan. So I’d put Cody not as the same level as them, but not far behind them.
He played a great game... VERY similar to the game Tyler played in bb20... Tyler is still the better player because he did it great his first season and Cody had a lot of help this season. But Cody has cemented himself as a top 10 player now
@@20YearSoul Cody had a double agent in Enzo too. Tyler played a great game his first season and still made it to final 6 playing at 50% of his abilities, cause let’s face it he didn’t want to be there. So I wouldn’t call it a fluke. Ppl also underestimated Cody in this cast whereas everyone thought Tyler was playing his BB20 game and always had their eyes on him.
I liked both of your comments because I see both sides of this debate! I definitely think Cody is one of the greats now but I can’t take Tyler down a peg on the pantheon (even though he deserves it after his showing this season) because he clearly was not playing to his full ability. 50% is probably about right. Don’t know the guy, obviously, and it’s really none of our business but it seems like he’s battling some pretty big inner demons. That is not a time you want to go into the house. I imagine you have to have your head screwed on straight, know who you are and be comfortable with yourself (faults & all) to win in an all-star season vs a season of newbies. And you certainly need that to deal with the toxic aspects of the fanbase once the season ends (and in Tyler’s case, deal with his own missteps that caused hurt to others). But instinctively, he knows what he has to do in the game as well as any of the upper echelon players, he’s just built it up in his head to be a bad thing - like he can’t separate gameplay from the kind of person you are outside of the game. Without the ability to separate, you can never be up at the very top with Dan, Will, Derrick (and in my personal pantheon, Danielle Reyes). And maybe now Cody. Debatable, of course.
@@persephonespomegranate true. Also, Tyler always seemed to feel that his strategy in Bb20 lost him the game, so he didn’t want to make a bunch of final 2’s this time. He should have listened to Taran about what his strengths were instead of listening to haters who told him that he deserved to lose because of all of the deals he made and cut at the end. Everyone else was trying to play hard like he did in bb20 with Cody being the only one that was successful. So yeah this, mixed with his heart not being completely in it led to his downfall.
Tyler deserves to get taken down a peg due to his unimpressive performance this season. His fans need to stop giving him excuses. Paul, Vanessa > Tyler.
What did nicole do for him besides be loyal to him? And why would he need her to make the final 2 when he had other people just as if not more loyal to him like enzo? His game this season should show you he doesn’t even need derrick.
As Cody pointed out in this review, if Janelle/Kaysar won an early HoH followed by a Tyler win, it would’ve changed his game a lot. If Enzo would’ve pushed Xmas to 🎯 Dani on her HoH instead of Bayleigh, Tyler (and Enzo) would’ve gained more control. Nicole was carried by Cody. He strategically took out all her other number 1’s and forced her to work with him only. I’ll give credit to Nicole for getting Janelle out pre-jury and getting Xmas to give Ian safety (because he was the original 🎯 during the 1st Memphis HoH), but she was forced to play Cody’s game and had to play over her head on comps to win the season. That’s not a good recipe to win on most seasons.
The true testament to Cody's game is not the comp wins but the social-strategic aspect. Listening to this interview, is like listening to a summary of the whole season- because he was involved in every move, every week whether he was the HOH or not and that's why the video is so long- unlike Nicole's review which is good too but not as in-depth because she's more of a supporting character that didn't have as much involvement in the early to mid game.
