You know them from Big Brother Season 19, and now they’re giving The Amazing Race a shot!

 Yay, Jessica and Cody! Or, as BB fans referred to them—"Jody!"



 On Sunday, Oct. 1 at 11:30am ET, the couple—whose steamy in-house showmance is still going strong IRL—will hit the ground running during the show's live start at Washington Square Park at 5th Ave & Waverly Place in New York City.

 How did the couple react to the news?

 According to The Hollywood Reporter, Jess was floored when she learned they had been picked.

 "It all just happened so fast that I had to force myself to stop and take a second to process the information," she said. "Cody was still in Jury sequester and we didn't even get anytime to really talk about it. We're just diving right into another project and it's extremely exciting!"

 Cody, BB19's America's Favorite Houseguest, reacted with his usual quiet demeanor: "Just as long as Jess wants to be on it, I'm cool with it."

 Jess went on to say, "This is something Cody is going to shine in. So this time around, he's the boss. But he shouldn't get use to it."

 So far, Jess and Cody are the only confirmed team for Season 30 of The Amazing Race. All other teams will be announced closer to air.

 Fans of Race are encouraged to come join host Phil Keoghan in NYC on Sunday and cheer on Jess, Cody, and the rest of the racers at the starting line as they embark on their exciting new journey around the globe.

 Best of luck, Jody!



 One thing's for sure—the solid foundation they built during Big Brother could get them pretty far on their next adventure together.

Jessica posted this message yesterday at LAX before flying to NYC to do TAR...

Hi Darlings!
So sorry we had to leave you but we promise it's for a good reason! Keeping this a secret the last few weeks has been INCREDIBLY hard! At least now I can finally confirm the rumors. Cody and I will be competing on the 30th Amazing Race! CBS keeps surpassing all of my dreams and I'm beyond grateful! I get to race around the world with my best friend and love of my life! Can't wait to bring home the win and celebrate with all of you! Send us some luck & love and we can't wait to tell you all about it once we're home!
Love,
Jess & Cody

I followed BB19 quite closely so I thought I would share my opinion/summary on Jess and Cody for TAR fans who aren't familiar with them. I liked Jess initially but hated Cody because he seemed like a cocky jerk. Cody won power the first week and had to nominate 5 different HGs instead of the normal 2 or 3 because of people quitting and others winning safety. Cody tried to evict the returning HG who eventually made final 2 but this HG had secret safety. Cody didn't tell anybody in his alliance he was targeting the vet HG not even Jess which was stupid and alienated him from the entire house. Despite being blindsided Jess stayed loyal to him which was admirable and they became outcasts as the veteran HG turned everyone against them. Cody left the next week but eventually battle his way back into the house a few weeks later. Once Cody returned they were the underdogs against the entire house, Jessica won power from america and power(HOH) but they didn't use their power well so they were both evicted consecutively a few weeks later Cody in jury and Jessica pre-jury.

Cody became a fan favourite IMO because 1. He was a great competitor 2. He had a certain authenticity that we normally don't see on reality TV because everybody wants to be famous 3. He is very blunt/direct and had tons of funny one liners 4. People connected with him more after hearing him say he isn't really close with anyone not even his family during a fight with Jess, when he talked about his daughter and seeing him cry after a special power used by another HG stripped him of the opportunity to save Jess the week she left.

Jess became a fan favourite IMO because 1. She was tremendously loyal to Cody 2. She had some great speeches (especially her eviction speech) 3. They were under dogs 4. She told all of her fans to vote Cody for America's Favourite Houseguest which was selfless 5. She had a signature bad-ass moment in my opinion when she argued by herself against the house (look it up on Youtube the show doesn't do it justice)

In terms of controversy Cody has made some ignorant comments about trans people that have made some bb fans hate him and furious he is a fan favorite/on TAR. Me and most other Jess and Cody fans don't agree with his comments and hope he can become more educated on the subject. I saw his comments being more out of ignorance and indifference than being malicious but I understand and can respect others view it differently. Some BB fans also like to label him as a racist for going to the Ferguson riots for fun but it seems to me like that is more this weird desire to put himself in danger than anything to do with race.

Jessica generally just gets hate because a few times she attacked other HGs personally which is never good. Although all the other HGs are guilty of this as well and most continued to unnecessarily hate on Jessica and Cody long after they had left the house.

Also when it came to drama in the house most of the fights Jess and Cody had were reactive fights where they were defending each other or had asked several times for space/to leave them alone but the other HG or HGs continued to antagonise them.

I'm hopeful Jessica and Cody will do well on the amazing race. Cody should be a good overall competitor physically and mentally while Jessica is more of a wildcard. She should be good physically from doing hot yoga and running but when it comes to amazing race tasks I'm not sure so we will have to see. Socially Cody is more of a wildcard while Jessica should be strong. Something interesting Cody said in the house that seems perfect for the amazing race was that on his resume he puts "able to quickly learn new tasks and perform them with little to no mistakes" and that always helps him get jobs.                     

I hope this helps you guys understand them better and that you guys give them a chance/form your own opinions of them on TAR30 :)

The Cody you saw on Big Brother is totally different than the Cody you are going to see on TAR. Its a totally different types of game & environment.  Cody and Jess i feel both will thrive in this game.  I was a live feeder and i know what really happened in the house verse what was showed on the edited show!!!! Please dont judge Cody and Jess from thier big brother game its totally different.

I love Jess and cody. I’m a love feeder as well. They will edit Cody into being emotionless on TAR also though. It’s his thing. Wasn’t being mean in any way. I’m rooting for them to win. Just thought it was funny to think about (no I don’t think he will quit). He had no emotion when putting on the frog suit either .

I guess perception is reality.  I was also a live feeder and I had a totally different view of Cody and Jessica - especially Jessica.  I thought she got the edit of a lifetime on the show and her true self was shown on the live feeds.  I found her to be one of the most vile, nasty and rudest houseguests to be on BB in years (which was not shown for the TV-only viewers).  I could be wrong, but I don't think they will thrive in the TAR environment.  Neither of them are capable of working with others and it is almost impossible to make it far in the race without help from other teams.  These two have absolutely no social skills whatsoever.  In the past other teams have not wanted to work with previous BB teams.  If they didn't want to work with Jeff and Jordan, who were two of the nicest people to go from BB to TAR, I can't see anyone wanting to work with Jessica and Cody. 

If they aren't eliminated before the first U-turn, I will be shocked if they are not the first team to be U-turned.

Big Brother and Survivor are games of strategy and alliance, sometimes the crossovers bring some of that with them to the race. And conflict.

But if what Lexie is saying is true, I'm fully expecting them to find their faces on the receiving end of the first U-Turn board.

The first week they were fine with interacting with the other contestants. It wasn't until after Cody tried to back door Paul that things changed and the house guest bullied them/ came after them personally did they have a problem with the entire house and didn't interact with them.

Cody was the best competitor of the entire season that they feared him so much so stripped his ability to compete and had to back door him twice just to get rid of him. They will do much better on TAR

That's why I said perception is reality.  Jillian said (and other houseguests confirmed) that when either Jessica or Cody were HOH, you couldn't "deal" with them because they would lock themselves up in the HOH room and not socialize with anyone for the entire week.  It doesn't matter how good you are competitively, you must also have social skills to go far in the race - which neither of them possess.  It is virtually impossible to make it far in the race without forming alliances with other team members and I'm a huge BB fan, and I wouldn't work with them if you paid me.

Usually once BB is over, everyone kisses and makes up and they become friends outside the game.  Rachel made several enemies in BB but she became very good friends with them once BB was over.  I think it is very telling that none of these people want to be friends with Jessica and Cody.  But then again, Jessica and Cody have said on many occasions that they "hate everyone." 

JMHO

Post by: thebasketmakerswife on October 04, 2017, 03:37:40 PM
Nobody should compare their Big Brother experience to TAR. to Lexie: you are incorrect. Many of the houseguests said they wanted to be friends with Jess & Cody outside of the house. Look up some of the interviews. Jessica became friends with Dom, Jillian, Ramses immediately when she was evicted. Mark and Elena are close with the both of them. And Rachel, who you mentioned, loves JODY and said as much on her twitter. So didn't many of the other past BB hg's. Not only was I a LIVE feeder, I was a loyal listener to RobHasAPodcast. When Cody went after Paul first, Paul went to everyone in the house and convinced them that Cody was evil and so is Jessica by affiliation. He turned the other houseguests against both of them in terrible ways. They couldn't talk to anyone! And nobody would talk to them because they feared Paul's wrath. Jessica's personality changed because she became defensive and went on the attack. It's a perfectly normal human defense mechanism when you are stuck in a house with a Group Bully mentality directed straight at you. And that's what happened. And Paul & his minions continued to attack both of them EVEN when they were out of the house! Right up until the last week of the game they still trashed them two. So when you are basing it on the opinions of the houseguests, you are only talking about PAUL & his minions! Who would want to be friends with them?? And I was one who didn't like Cody and Jessica at the beginning. But how they handled themselves with their backs against the wall everyday and people tormenting them, I was impressed and started to root for them. There's my two cents. ---Sorry the posts about not talking about Big Brother came while I was writing this. But people are wrong to judge them because of what happened in the house. That's all I was trying to convey.

I agree!! But I felt I needed to say something because it wasn't true what people were writing about their characters. That's all. And they should be judged for their abilities on this race - not from what happened in that awful house.

Post by: Lexie on October 04, 2017, 03:58:23 PM
I will never forget when Josh went into the lounge area to tell Jessica she was not his target and she freaking lunged for him and screamed like a banshee for him to get out of her face (all he wanted to tell her was he didn't want her to get evicted).  And that fight in the kitchen lasted for well over 30 minutes yet only 2-3 minutes was shown on the TV show.  After those two fights, there was no saving her.  I can't help it - I find her rude and vile.  There is a BB site which keeps track of all statistics from the beginning of the summer to the end.  There were a total of 30 fights in the house during the summer and Cody and Jessica were involved in 26.  The other four fights took place after they were evicted.  I don't think I'm wrong about them.  I don't think anyone on the race will want to work with them.  It's not in their DNA to get along with other people.

Just something that may be relevant to the social skills issue that I don't recall being mentioned. Cody spent several years in the Air Force and Marines and Jessica is some sort of 'VIP concierge'. I would think that both of these would require at least a modicum of social skills to get along. I also watched BB and the feeds. Perhaps in that environment they just didn't want to 'suffer fools gladly'.

Considering how toxic the people were in the BB19 house, I actually think their social game might be better this season with TAR being a more positive and active show in general. It's bizarre seeing Cody smile with other teams in view as well in their sightings :lol:

Perhaps in that environment they just didn't want to 'suffer fools gladly'.

so i just looked at the pic posted- a jody fan bought them food in the airport because they dont give enough money on the leg for that. That completely gives them an edge over other teams because the sleep and food deprivation starts to mess with your thinking. Thats the whole point of it. Kindve stinks they get preferential treatment because they are known from another show :groan:

Fans always help. An airport skill is using that, if they get a sandwich or some water that is a skill and works for them. I have no problem with it.

I do think they changed the rules about the initial airport, they are not allowed to accept $$ there. And they may have a $$ limit now as well...not sure .

From someone who didn't watch any of BB19- it sounds like they'll be entertaining and a major talking point, at very least

AND THAT, I feel, is a plus for TAR
Title: Re: "JODY" Discussion
Post by: georgiapeach on October 06, 2017, 03:28:18 PM
When we are watching the show in real time we are seeing thru a glass darkly.

We see tiny fragments of the racers' day. We learn essentially nothing about how the racers are socially or with each other.

For me, the live sightings are really about the locations, and the travel between. That's the huge fun for me. 
The sightings are locations, the show is more about personalities.

Having not watched BB this season and having chosen to longer watch the feeds, I have no preconceived ideas about "Jody". I have only what I have read, and I really always prefer to judge for myself. Like any team, I look forward to seeing them in action with great joy!

So, we'll see!

Both Jeff and Jordan and Brenchel were hugely popular and entertaining additions to TAR, and VERY good for ratings. They provided fun, drama, controversy and excitement and brought a lot of new viewers to TAR. And that can only be good for us all.

I think this cast is almost exclusively recruited, although that will remain to be seen. Doesn't mean they won't be entertaining, I just had hoped that our Anniversary season would go back to basics. But this may be the new reality, and if it means we still get TAR, okay.  :gnome

I think we are going to be thrilled with this route, hopefully when the show airs the cast will entrance us as well!

EPIC is the word I want to be able to use for Season 30.  :hrt:

It is difficult to tell how it will translate when these are two very different games. Big Brother is being locked in a studio for 3 months. Amazing Race is fast-paced and high-pressure travel - they're jetlagged, hungry, and tired.

They got on this season less than 14 days before filming, i am sure script has been already finished by that point and those saves were reserved for NBA or Racers guys. Jody were probably pushed into underedited F6 finisher, just so new, coming from BB, viewers stuck around.

I'm new to this reality fan forum and new to just being a fan... I don't understand why, but I my heart really went out to Cody during BB19 and Jess was so loyal to him regardless of what she also endured from the other houseguests.  Cody had integrity and he was real, he wasn't looking to act for the camera, he was looking to play a game in an honest and competitive manner.  I really respect him and I can understand Jess.  She is so beautiful but there is so much more to her too.  I hope and pray that they go far in this race and that even more of the world cheers them on.  I am sorry that some TAR people may feel overwhelmed or overtaken by some Jody fans.  Please don't stereotype us all together.  Thank you.  There are some really great detectives, informants, and posters on here.
Love the Map, the oval orange's timeline, and the moderators attitude and contributions--keep up all the outstanding work!!

And thank you so much for the kind words.

Speaking for myself, I look forward to seeing Jess and Cody race when the show airs. I would never judge a team by a TV show I didn't see, so seeing them in action together will be fun! I wish them nothing but happiness. And we understand that they are in no way responsible for some of their fans.

BB fans and Jody fans are more than welcome here, glad to have them to share opinions. We are just having an introductory "getting acquainted" period as our new posters learn how we work here.

But all is well and we are looking forward to seeing the rest of the race unfold...TOGETHER!

There's a distinction between supporting someone you know of from watching on a show, and rooting for their success, and being equally invested in someone, you know of in the same way, just to criticize them and hope that they fail. I don't understand what would compel someone to do the latter.

"Jody" fans have done some good work, and, at least a few of them are new to TAR, but they are learning as they go, or trying to.  On twitter they've asked some good questions, and appreciated the responses, everything from detours to what "equalizers" are, and basic ones like "how can you go from first place to last place in a race?"

I've been watching since season 1, but I've fallen away from TAR in recent years, not exactly sure why, less TV, got busy, something else on I wanted to watch more, life.

I'm a BB fan though, watch the live feeds, all of it.  Just FYI, this was a particularly disgusting season of BB on the feeds.  "Jody" were the targets of mob bullying lead by a return player.  I got extremely ugly, think your worst bullies in junior high, then max that out and realize adults did it.  "Jody" had their issues, but they remained strong and toughed it out, gaining many fans for that, and more fans for the love story.

SO, oddly enough, "Jody" has brought me back to the first reality show I ever loved.   Not so much as a fan of Jody, though I do like them, but more because it was a reminder for me.  Oh yeah!  I love TAR, why haven't I been watching? 

If it brings the show more viewers, I'm all for them.  Of course they will make mistakes about "spoilers" and be fooled by previous season, and be a bit naive about  trusting trolls.  All in all though?  It's a good trade off IMO for TAR fans.  More people watching and getting excited may bring better ratings, AND frankly, they've also done some great spoiling.  So much enthusiasm!  They make me smile with their newbie investigating.

I was fooled by the previous season photos too, because as I said, I've drifted away, probably haven't watched in 3 or 4 years.  It happens.

Well I want to say that I'm extremely pleased that they are still in the race.... they have a strong shot of making it all the way to the end but even if they don't, they're already in the top seven or so, and those are the more memorable characters. I am so curious how their relationship is faring.

Hopefully it balances out. The only team that the unspoiled regular TAR fanbase knows at this point is Jody, CBS hasn't officially released the names of any of the other teams. And a lot of them have already threatened on the social media pages to pass on the season entirely based on this one team.

Some nasty comments over on the TAR Facebook page.

In the past, seasons with BB teams, 16, 20 and 24 have had somewhat lower ratings than the previous seasons. To be fair, the trend in television viewership has been steadily downward, so that probably has more to do with it than the teams.

Make no mistake - there are a tremendous number of Jody Shippers out there, after all that's how Cody won AFP over Kevin. Although there are a lot of BB superfans who don't want to see ANY of the 19 HGs again, many of them aren't TAR fans to begin with. Having said that, I wouldn't be surprised if some of them tune in anyways - jut out of curiosity.

Post by: Pinnacle94080 on October 22, 2017, 11:24:41 PM
Yup I agree. BB got a record breaking #of people voting for Cody to make sure he won AFP. I'm sure their fans and other BB alumni will rally for folks to watch them on TAR especially since they got to F3.

The brian guy who reportred jody in the first place weeks before the race started just tweeted this then deleted it quickly.  :bunny woooooot

This is worded in a very confusing way. To clarify, a reporter who works for The Hollywood Reporter tweeted that Jody were going to be on TAR before there was press release/confirmed to the public. He later deleted that tweet. Today, that same reporter tweeted something cryptic along the lines of "I guess I should say that I know something you don't know" with the hashtags #TAR30 #BB19. I wouldn't necessarily assume that he implied that he knows Jody won.

He is the interviewer.. He would know if they won or lost..  Not saying that is what he is referring to but He would know.

There are very few things he could have been talking about, the only other thing I could think of is engagement.

and for those who don't know... Julie and CBS LOVEEE Brian.. he gets every scoop. And he's a big Jody fan. he 100% knows

Jody won every leg of the race. They received an express pass, they won all the rewards, they were ahead of the pack the entire season and never were behind any team. They arrived at every location way ahead of all teams, they were superior in the finale and won the entire race miles ahead of the “nerds” and skiers. Yay Jody.

I watched the feeds & the bad behavior did not come from Jess or Cody. Seriously they were bullied. Especially Cody for going after a vet like Paul—a good move. Also Cody was real & had integrity in the house, he protected Jess & didn’t allow other guest to disrespect her. Then he just kept them from confrontation of Paul & the other sheep. It was miserable to watch the things the other guest said to Cody about his military service & attacks upon him for NOT being what they wanted him to be. He was himself. Others that go into that house & pretend it’s ok to lie, cheat & be evil or some character because it’s a game, are only fooling themselves. It demonstrates a part of your character & it’s not commendable. For anyone who didn’t fall in love with Jody or understand them, it because you never saw the feeds or what was really going on. Seriously—Just saying.

I've followed them on twitter because they had more spoilers than anyone for most of this season.  They reported several times about Jody being in second to last place, or behind other racers.  I'm not talking about the tween Jody fans who didn't bother to learn anything about TAR, and we just shippers.  The semi-official Jody-TAR "fan account" and shinshin tweeter weren't saying the won every leg, as a matter of fact, other than the first leg I don't remember seeing that at all.  The posters that actually learned about TAR during all of this?  Were pretty accurate, and actually tried to be real, in between the squealing fan stuff.

I agree, the major Twitter accounts did a tremendous job trying to report on Jody's progress throughout the race. HOWEVER, there are shippers and then there are shipper-trolls or queen-shippers and I've seen some pretty disturbing accounts that go WAY beyond the "Jody are the best ever!" stage. One person said they can't wait to cyber-bully the other teams. This is not Jody's fault - that kind of behaviour is endemic in all fandoms, and seems to be a risk that comes with celebrity. To tell you the truth, I am almost afraid to live-tweet the episodes as they air, in fear of attracting one of these types as I've been doxxed before.

I agree, but that type is easy to spot.  The semi-official (not approved by Jess or Cody as far as I know) tweeter that I did follow?  Wasn't like that at all, she/he was learning on the job, obviously a "super fan" but really did try to be accurate, and to learn about TAR, asking good questions, etc.  Several were, some weren't.  She/he got better at they went along, which seems pretty normal.

That said, I'd bet they had someone in production feeding them information up until the final four at least, they knew locations and eliminations much too fast, after that did some good footwork locating locals to help.

Hey all!
New account here, I've been keeping up on RFF all season and decided to make an account to share some info I've gathered.

Through chatting with some who have been keeping up with the race and appear to know the winner (mostly Jody fans, I admit) on twitter, it seems as if Jody has won. One account (not revealed yet for privacy concerns) seems to know someone who worked at the finale, possibly a producer or cameraman. Either way, they were told the winner and many details, which make it appear as if this information is accurate. Along with the cryptic tweets by many seemingly connected Jody accounts, there does not seem to be a question as to the winner.
That's just me, however; I hope you all can help me judge this information for accuracy, and thanks for all you've done!

If they get caught yes absolutely but it is hard to prove.  Usually they tell a friend who tells a friend who tells a friend and it becomes a game of telephone.

Very hard to keep secrets when you know something everyone wants to know, even if you have sworn not too, so leaks happen often in many shows.  Not just for production but for family members/friends of the contestants too.

No.  I am not saying I 100% believe anything.. I am just saying those Jody fans were the first to report the twins were out, and the lifeguards were out.  To brush them off as 100% untrue and making it up I don't think is completely fair.  They have been right before.

Combining that, with the reporter from THR, and the overall way Jody has been acting since they have been off the race I am tending to lean towards it being true.
Title: Re: "JODY" Discussion
Post by: georgiapeach on October 29, 2017, 04:15:21 AM
Just to clarify a few points:

Any discussion/speculation of a winner is just that...speculation.

I am not surprised that the Jody fans are speculating they won, I am sure they are all hoping for that outcome, just as fans of the others will be hoping each of their favorites won..

Re Mothers: I have sat next to a LOT of mothers at Finale events...and I can tell you 100% that I have never seen a winners' parents who were not COMPLETELY surprised. Any team who would risk losing their winnings PLUS a multimillion legal suit would be a fool. And none of our winners seem likely to be that much of a fool.

Leaks happen. Sometimes someone posts a pic or a comment that should have been left unsaid. Vendors/sites/local help have either not been asked to sign NDA's or mistakenly do not know what that means.

But NEVER  in my year's here at RFF have I ever seen/been aware of/been given ANY kind of a deliberate PRODUCTION leak. Just doesn't happen. Employees sign contracts, and penalties for disclosing the outcome would be serious indeed. And in my book, essentially accusing production of DELIBERATELY revealing the winners is completely ridiculous. SO THAT discussion ends here NOW.

RFF loves the hunt for pictures/task info/locations, etc. BUT we also realize that spoiling the outcome kills anticipation/suspense and has the potential to hurt the SHOW itself. So RFF DOES NOT REVEAL THE FINALE THREE ORDER. Period.

Luckily while we know the arrival times and a bit more about the final 3 at the final location, we don't know the final outcome. And I am pleased as punch that we do not.

But there will be NO MORE ridiculous accusations that production has revealed the outcome. And no more discussions about what other forums or fans do or do not believe. This is RFF, let's talk about the race, our discoveries, where they went and what they did.

If you all would like to continue a purely hypothetical discussion of whether Jody won or not, be my guest. This thread is all about them. Have fun.

But play by RFF rules. ANYONE who posts here to stir up controversy or promote false information will not be here long. Fair warning.

You can just google something like "TMZ Jessica Cody". The article was posted a day before their video, and I've also seen people in other places speculating that they probably didn't mean to share this so early.

Tbh that seems like the perfect thing to share post-race.

Yes I know. I am wondering where the sold to TMZ came from though.

Question, if Jody shot the engagement video - how did TMZ obtain the video the day before it was announced?

There are 2 different views of the video. It looks like Cody gave his phone to someone that took the long video. The other video is much shorter and a different view. That is the one TMZ has. Looks like it was the guy shown sitting in the long video. Cody has that view in the YT video so the guy must have given it to them as well.

Cody commented on a live video by Mark and Elena from Big Brother that whoever shot the video sold it to TMZ and they weren't prepared. I don't think they had even told their families yet that they were engaged.

Oh that's a shame. They could have worked out their own release and gotten the media of THEIR choice involved. That isn't right. :(

I wonder if Jody announcing their engagement now instead of after the finale means they don't win. I mean, what bettertime to announce an engagement than after winning The Amazing Race right? Double good news hehe

Personally thinking the same as surely they'll be at some kinda viewing party tonight so had they won what better time to propose than after winning the amazing race

The original plan could've been propose before while all is quiet and then announce it after. Ya never know.

A good time for a proposal and a good time for the reveal of an engagement are different things.
I'm sure the person who spilt the beans to TMZ forced them to take a different course of action, so I wouldn't buy into that too much.

Cody was creating the perfect ring with a company for several months so maybe her ring wasn’t ready yet..

I was very happy with the finale and ecstatic with Jody winning! I especially enjoyed the final leg being at night and the final task being tough and forcing the winner to earn their 1 million dollars. I understand why some fans dislike Jody especially with Jessica not owning her deception during the phone task and saying some mean things about other racers. I feel like this season showed that Jessica is very competitive and emotional and that she can be a poor sport and quite sensitive. In her defence though she was venting and on the show according to Yale and Lifeguards was polite to them so I think overall people are overly critical. I also feel like outrage about Jess being sad at the mat because one of the two teams she bonded strongly with was going home is silly. Post show comments also seem to show that Yale weren’t excluded socially only game wise and IMO deserve criticism for a poor social game. It’s sad some fans just want to find any angle possible to discredit Jody winning or attack their character. I could continue to address other criticism but I will just say that I feel like people really like to judge/define people by their flaws especially on reality TV and Jess, Evan and Brittany get tons of ridiculous and petty hate which is sad. They deserve some criticism for their behaviour and you don’t need to like them but this is a tv show and they are real people.

Looking back on what I predicted about Jody before the season I feel my prediction of Jess and Cody was pretty solid although I didn’t expect a win. Cody was a beast and surpassed my already high expectations for him as a competitor while Jessica was a wildcard who had a good social game. As a couple they didn’t fight and communicated well which was great to see! They really formed an impressive bond going through the BB house which was toxic in BB19. Jessica had little chance of being a great TAR player but she still brought value and did her job in key moments which is why as a team they surprisingly brought home the grand prize. Competitor wise I think Jessica is much better suited for BB and I feel would have been a huge threat to win on BB19 without Cody in the house. It all worked out in the end though, what a storybook journey they went through together.
         
Overall Yale was actually my second favourite team this season so them coming second was perfect! And Jody joining S30 pushed me to watch some past seasons and made me a fan of TAR so I will certainly be watching S31!

Great to hear! :cheer:

And I agree with you sooo much on the excessive criticism for specific racers.

Well said, Ethan. I guess that's part of the reason why Jody was cast. You either love 'em or hate 'em, and so people will find any reason to discredit them. I still remember prior to Morocco when some people were beaming because when they saw the preview with gnomegate, they thought they would have something to bash Jody for. They had their faults, but they were far from the rudest/worst team in recent seasons. What people forget is that they had just gotten out of Big Brother (Cody was out for less than a week) when TAR was filmed. Some people legit need therapy to get acquainted back to the world from Big Brother, so to be thrown into another competition had to have been pretty extreme. I never really expected Jessica to be a great physical competitor, but at the least, she made strategic moves, which can't be said about some of the other teams. I can relate to your last part about Jody pushing you to watch TAR. I'm kind of different in that I used to watch TAR every single season, but prior to season 30, I hadn't watched since Season 24 (for no particular reason, I just neglected the show). Having two of my favorites from BB crossover peaked my interest again. Definitely looking forward to TAR 31.
