Agreed. Cody's role so far has been nothing but being an unlucky kid/punching bag which is confusing because while Cody in the original series did get hurt a lot, he was never considered to be the pain magnet of any of the seasons he competed it. He did so little so far that they could have easily just replaced him with someone like Tyler (who was a pain magnet in the OG series so him being a punching bag here would fit more)

But I guess we'll just have to wait and see if his role will ever change. Terry McGurrin did say that Cody will have episodes that will focus on him so let's wait and see how Cody will be handled in those episodes.
