Cody and Gwen

This article focuses on the interactions between Cody and Gwen.

Overview
Cody has a huge crush on Gwen. While he's been a good friend to Gwen, she never liked him in a romantic sense, as she considered him to be an annoying younger brother, as confirmed in Up the Creek. It is worth mentioning that Cody has been very understanding over the matter, even going out of his way to help Gwen get together with Trent to make her happy. Gwen recognizes Cody as a close friend and respects him. In return for Cody's help regarding Trent, she also helped Cody by lending him one of her bras so he could win a bet against Owen. However, this changes in Total Drama World Tour, as of Gwen's breakup with Trent, Cody has once again decided to hit on her, even becoming slightly clingy and obsessive, but to no avail, as Gwen still didn't like him and eventually fell for Duncan. Cody still has a crush on Gwen, as evident from him attempting to save her from elimination in Picnic at Hanging Dork and being sad after her elimination.

Opening Sequence
Trent and Gwen share a tender moment near the campfire, but as they lean in closer to each other, Cody darts between them to ruin the romantic interaction, due to his interest in Gwen. Gwen is particularly shocked and unhappy at this interruption, while Trent simply seems confused.

Not Quite Famous
Gwen spends her time writing in her diary and Cody comes to talk with her. Gwen ignores him while he tries to make small talk and sniffs her hair, which freaks her out. She gets up and walks back to the cabin after insulting him. Cody spends much of the episode following Gwen around and trying to act like a gentleman in order to impress her. However, she does not fall for him, and was sarcastic about how she and Cody hit it off when Heather comments on their "hook-up.” Cody still remains undaunted by her rejections. At the talent show, when Heather read Gwen's diary out loud regarding her feelings for Trent, Cody thinks the diary is referring to him. Although, he realizes that this is wrong when it is mentioned that Gwen's crush plays the guitar, which Cody doesn't. It can be presumed he voted for Heather to be eliminated on Gwen's behalf, as Heather's actions humiliated her.

Up the Creek
Cody tries to make his move on Gwen by getting her as a canoe partner (she agrees only because Trent gets partnered up with Lindsay and Beth first). Gwen, then in the confessional, says Cody is like an annoying little brother. Cody attempts several times to ask Gwen out on a date while they paddle across the lake, only to get rejected each time. He only finally understands Gwen's rejection and her preference for Trent when she hits him in the groin with her paddle. Gwen's attitude towards Cody greatly improves when he offers to put in a good word for her with Trent, who he is allegedly close to. Gwen admits she would owe Cody for doing this favor, to which Cody mentions a bet he made with Owen that he would win if Gwen would comply, and give Cody one of her bras. Cody said that Owen would do his dishes for the rest of the competition if Cody could get Gwen's bra. This causes Gwen to ram her paddle into Cody's groin again, as he sees that his request was crossing the line.

Cody continuously hits on her in hopes of getting a date (even expecting her to eventually concede, having packed picnic lunch supplies in his pants), but she still denied him. He realized that she has a crush on Trent, so he set her up with him. Before taking off, Cody uses the quicksand incident as an excuse to switch places with Trent so that he can ride with Gwen while Cody rides with Lindsay and Beth on the way back. Both Trent and Gwen are grateful for this. After this episode, Gwen and Cody are friends. Later, when Owen and Cody are in the Screaming Gophers cabin, he finds Gwen's bra under his pillow, obviously meaning that she was willing to fulfill his ridiculous request as thanks for hooking her up with Trent.

In this episode, it is proven that Cody still has feelings for Gwen, as he encourages her to sing in the musical number, worried that she will be eliminated. After he crosses the finish line, he asks, "Where's Gwen? Not that I care." When Duncan quits the show, Cody says "Hi" to Gwen and tells her that they are on the same team, offering her his hand to help her up. He then says in the confessional that he likes girls on the rebound, because they cry about their old relationship and let boys like Cody buy them a pop. Cody feels that this will be no different for Gwen, to his pleasure. Later on, both Cody and Gwen are put on Team Amazon.

Walk Like An Egyptian - Part 2
Cody flirts with Gwen early in the episode, asking her if she wants to get a slushie. Gwen thanks Cody again for hooking her up with Trent in Up the Creek. Cody says that Trent isn't currently in the game, and he himself is available, but this doesn't seem to change her mind. Although, she did laugh at him when Heather humiliated him. Gwen also seemed slightly worried about Cody's being on their camel's rear end.

The Am-AH-Zon Race
Early in the episode, Chris reminds Cody that he knows all about his allergies and announces that someone needs to hold his medicine in case he gets bitten by an insect. Sierra wants to hold it, but Cody begs Gwen to do it instead and she agrees, giving into his helpless pleads. While they travel, Cody tells Gwen that if he does get bitten or exposed to any of his allergies, she has to jab the needle into his "naked butt cheek.” An appalled Gwen immediately rejects the idea and throws the epipen back to Cody, which he accepts dissatisfied. After the Team is captured by Zing Zings, Cody asks Gwen to get a flashlight from his pocket and use its batteries for an emergency walkie-talkie. She asks him not to enjoy her reaching near and "touching" his butt, but he does so anyway, uncontrollably and secretly ecstatic. Gwen can't find the flashlight, but finds several items which Cody used to try and impress her, and a pair X-Ray glasses. Heather tells Gwen to see what color Cody's underwear is, but when Gwen looks, he isn't wearing any. This shocks and disgusts her and makes Cody blush, but Cody later recalls the event and enjoys the fact that Gwen "touched his butt.” Gwen keeps looking and accidentally stabs and injects herself with Cody's epi-pen. This causes Gwen to go crazy for the rest of the episode. When the medicine loses its effect and Team Amazon loses the challenge, Sierra tells Gwen that she'll only share her's and Courtney's votes for Heather if Gwen agrees to stop being nice to Cody. Gwen agrees, if only to have Heather eliminated. Gwen holds no personal grudge with Cody.

Greece's Pieces
Cody volunteers to do the final challenge for all of the girls on his team, but he directs the comment at Gwen, making Gwen recoil.

Courtney and Sierra tell Cody to lose the tie-breaker challenge so they can vote off Gwen, to which Heather agrees. Both of them realize that everyone on the team besides the two of them would vote her off, thus sealing her elimination. All of this drives Cody to put all his effort into the challenge so that they can't vote Gwen off. In the Confessional, he says he'd do anything for Gwen, hoping that she'd eventually have to kiss him the same way she kissed Duncan. He actually manages to win, thus saving Gwen from elimination.

The EX-Files
When Cody sacrifices his candy to save Team Amazon from the mine field, Gwen thanks him.

Picnic at Hanging Dork
In the beginning of the episode, Gwen talks to Cody privately about voting out Courtney and he gladly agrees if Gwen helps him to get rid of Sierra after Courtney. Later in the episode when Duncan pretends to be upset about Courtney, Cody tells Gwen that if she needs a shoulder, "he has two." She tells him that maybe he was right and Duncan wasn't as great as she thought he was, to which Cody says he knows. Gwen asks if he can make the pain go away, and he says that if "the pain" means Courtney, that she can consider it done, confirming again that he'll vote out Courtney with her. In a confessional a triumphant Gwen celebrates getting another vote against Courtney, her mood change implying that she had been faking the sadness in order to gain Cody's sympathy. But in a dazed state after being mauled by a dingo, Cody accidentally votes for Sierra instead of Courtney. He apologizes to Gwen but she is eliminated after a tiebreaker challenge, against Courtney.

Sweden Sour
Cody is seen to be extremely depressed due to Gwen's elimination. Throughout the episode, he sighs every time he hears her name.
