Cody Emmit Jameson Anderson, labeled The Geek, was a camper on Total Drama Island on the Screaming Gophers team. He did not compete in Total Drama Action. He returns for Total Drama World Tour and is currently a member of Team Amazon.

Biography
Cody's an only child from the suburbs who has been spoiled all of his life. While his ample allowance easily buys him every trend-setting, techno-gadget, teen-savvy accessory required to be on the "cutting edge of cool", he cannot buy the personality required to back it up. Despite spending most of his time in the local mall (since that's the best place to study teams in the throes of "being cool") none of its helped his cause. Unfortunately, Cody doesn't know any of this. He thinks of himself as the coolest-kid-in-all-of-the-burbs (his words). At his prep school, Upper Crust College, he is considered pretty cool (but that's only in a select group of guys who belong to the Albert Einstein Fan Club- i.e. all geekier than Cody.) So while he brags about knowing the "cool code" (he doesn't) and has devoted his whole life to studying it and mastering it (not really) and totally scores it with the ladies (all myth and no legend), his real strengths are in the maths and sciences, which isn't exactly your typical "cool kid" skill set. Cody's confident he can "swing" with the cool kids at Total Drama Island (his words, clearly!) His only concern: whether the cafeteria will be providing the four essential food groups. Just to be safe, he's bringing a doctor's note, because it's hard to be cool while you worry about the hypoglycemic index in your diet. One day he will be cool, when he starts his own tech support firm and makes millions off the kids who peaked in high school (and slept through computer studies). Maybe.

Total Drama Island
Cody joined Total Drama Island in an attempt to hang with the "cool" kids, as well as to meet girls along the way. The main thing he is known for on his time on the show is his enormous one-sided crush on Gwen. This almost developed into an obsession that often gets in between Gwen and Trent. However, eventually he realizes that Gwen likes Trent instead, leaving the two as friends. Cody is also one of the most unfortunate people on the show, experiencing some kind of incident almost every episode, which led to his elimination

When Cody arrives in Not So Happy Campers - Part 1, he is greeted by Chris McLean as the "Codemiester." He is happy to notice that the ladies have already arrived, but LeShawna isn't very interested and tells him to save it. Cody later gets placed on the Screaming Gophers, and later walks into the girls cabin to tell Gwen she is smart, and that "he feels that." When Gwen asked Cody if he was supposed to be on the boys' side, his answer causes him to be thrown out of the cabin by Gwen.

In Not So Happy Campers - Part 2, Cody was extremely scared when he jumped off the cliff, but succeeded. He said that bringing the supplies over to the campground was easy due to the advantage they got. Cody quietly assist his team in winning the challenge for the rest of the episode.

In The Big Sleep, Owen farted in Cody's face during the 24-Hour mark when Cody nearly fell asleep. Despite not having any lines or a plan to stay awake, he managed to come in eighth or seventh place during the awake-a-thon. Unfortunately for him, Noah also kissed him in his sleep, causing both to scream in terror.

In Dodgebrawl, Cody was shown helping his team play in the dodgeball tournament. In the first round, he was the first one to throw a dodgeball, but he missed Tyler. Eventually, after a while, he was the only one left against Katie and DJ. However, he got DJ out by giving a boomerang effect to a dodgeball, and by rubbing the ball on his shirt, he made it have static electricity making it almost impossible for Katie to avoid since it was like a homing missile. Despite this, Cody is out until Round 5, where he is shown getting out by two unknown people. During the second round, he selflessly jumped in front of Gwen and got hit in the groin by a dodgeball.

InNot Quite Famous, Cody is shown throughout the episode to be following as well as bothering Gwen. Besides that, Cody was shown to be very happy about Owen's talent. When Trent arrived at the bleachers at the auditorium, he got comfortable, putting his hands behind his head and crossing his legs. Cody tried to imitate this, to get Gwen to notice him, but fell back instead. When Gwen is writing in her diary, Cody comes up and begins to bother her about the "journal." He sniffs her hair and tells Gwen that she smells pretty, to Gwen's confusion. Heather notices the two and jokes they were the "first hook-up of the season." Around then, Cody tries to watch Gwen change into her bathing suit, but Cody ends up getting a door slammed in his face, due to Gwen's fast changing. He and Owen do a cannonball near Gwen, soaking her and making her leave the dock angered. During the talent show, at Heather's performance of reading Gwen's diary, Cody believes it is him that Gwen must be secretly in love with until the diary mentioned that her secret crush played the guitar, which is not one of Cody's skills.

In The Sucky Outdoors, Cody didn't talk to Gwen, meaning he may have temporarily given up on her until Up the Creek. He had also been embarrassed by peeing in his pants in fear of the "bear." In Phobia Factor, when DJ got scared of the gummy worm, which he thought was a Snake, Cody tried to calm him down. Cody's fear was to diffuse a time bomb under pressure. Due to this, he had to diffuse a garbage time bomb in 5 minutes, and it was a real garbage bomb too, as noted by Chris McLean. He failed his challenge, and when he was searching for someone to help him, he caused Bridgette to fail her challenge, because she was scared of his appearance, as he was covered in garbage. Later he points out that the Killer Bass cannot win, due to the score being 7 to 3.

In Up the Creek, Cody once again tried to make a move on Gwen. He tries to make Gwen his partner, but she only agreed because Beth and Lindsay had already taken Trent as their partner. Cody asks Gwen on a date three times, which she declined them all. The 3rd one led to Cody being hit in the groin by a Canoe Paddle. While they were still in the canoe, Cody realized that Gwen likes Trent instead of him, and Cody promised that he would get the two in a canoe together on the way back from the island. Cody then reveals he made a bet with Owen that if he got one of Gwen's bras, then he would do his dishes for the rest of the season, but him revealing this caused him to be whacked in the groin again. Once they got to Boney Island, Lindsay and Trent got stuck in quicksand. To save them, Cody grabbed onto a vine, but crashed into a tree. However, the vine had swung back over the quicksand, so that Trent could take hold of it and get Lindsay and himself to safety. Lindsay called Cody "her hero," and hugs him. Later in the episode, Cody gets Gwen and Trent in the same canoe. This selfless action made Gwen and Cody close friends, and Cody got one of Gwen's bras in reward, thus winning Owen's bet.

In Paintball Deer Hunter, Cody was the only one who was exited on his team that he was a deer. Every time he was in the confessional, he was shown after he was mauled by the bear, even before the attack. He hid behind one of the bushes until Beth walked by, and Cody then talked to her for a while to see how it was going. Once Heather and Beth began to argue, Cody secretly stole the chips and ran. As he called Barbecue the "King of Chip Flavors," he left crumbs on his way, as there was a hole in the bag. Once he found berries, a Bear found him and mauled him. This left him with a full body cast, a black eye, several scratches, and being in a wheelchair. Cody got eliminated because his injury would make him useless in challenges. At the Dock of Shame, Beth kisses Cody and shows him her Tiki Idol. Cody tried to tell her that it is bad luck, but he couldn't and later sunk into the lake. (Strangely, the Boat of Losers wasn't even present at the time.)

However, Cody was shown to be fine in Haute Camp-ture and fully healed from the Bear's attack. He spent most of his time at Playa Des Losers trying to get a tan, but he fails and gets a sunburn instead. He wanted Gwen to win, saying that as long as Gwen was happy, he was happy. Trent and Cody had gained a mutual respect for each other over this. He was also shown to be healed from the sunburn three episodes later. In The Very Last Episode, Really!, Gwen considers Cody one of the five sane people on the island, and Cody sides with Gwen even after Owen announces the party.

In the special, he teams up with Owen, Tyler and DJ to get the one million dollar case. He acts as the brains of this small group, coming up with ways to keep them all in line and not betray one another. He and his team are the first to find the case, but they quickly lose it. Cody's skills in the special are notable, as he was the only one who could trick Justin into a moment of weakness to allow the group to steal the case from him. He was also the unfortunate victim of Courtney, who put him in a headlock while demanding the case from the others. Since he was the one who had to suffer the consequences, he tries to propose a compromise, but nobody agrees to it. Cody and his team wind up on the diving board and fall off when it breaks. Though DJ and Owen fell on a nearby plane wing and were able to make it to the dock and get on Total Drama Action, Cody and Tyler fell into the tub below and therefore were unable to make it to the dock in time, making them ineligible to compete for the money again in the next season.

Total Drama Action
Cody is amongst the other unqualified characters in the talk show, Total Drama Action Aftermath. He appears in The Aftermath: I along with the other "losers", watching Bridgette and Geoff interview Izzy and Trent. Cody is notably one of the few characters who remains siding with Gwen regarding the break-up situation between her and Trent. It is revealed that Cody is still in possession of one of Gwen's bras that was given to him in Up The Creek.

Cody also appears in The Aftermath: II and The Aftermath: III, but doesn't do or say anything of importance. He does, at the beginning of The Aftermath: IV, gasp in shock when he sees that it was a tie.

In Celebrity Manhunt's Total Drama Action Reunion Special sometime after Total Drama Action, Cody, Trent, Harold, and Justin created a boy band called The Drama Brothers which later broke up when Harold went solo. Cody was also not allowed in the Gemmies for not being popular enough. Cody went on the tour bus to try to reclaim his popularity after some encouraging words from Sierra. After Chris rescues the cast, Cody makes it to the new season Total Drama World Tour.

Total Drama World Tour
In Total Drama World Tour, Cody is immediately greeted by Sierra when she gets to the airport, showing her ubber-obsession with Cody, and are interrupted by the Total Drama Jumbo Jet arriving. As the contestants or on the plane, Sierra reveals Cody's full name and his birthday. During the Come Fly With Us, Cody has a short duet with Sierra and persuades Gwen to sing. During the challenge "Pyramid Over Under" Cody teams up with Sierra and Heather to go under the pyramid. The start running in away from a mummy in the pyramid who is nothing more than Izzy wrapped in mummy bandages. The trio come running out of the pyramid, Cody being hauled by Sierra. After a group hug, the group is split, Sierra on Team Chris Is Really Really Really Really Hot while Heather and Cody go on Team Amazon. After Duncan leaves the show, Cody helps up a semi-devastated Gwen and relishes it while he's in the confessional stating that he loves girls on the rebound and wants to buy her a pop.

Audition tape
For his audition, Cody created a beat on a music/sound FX board while singing a song. His father told him to quit because he was making too much noise. This portion of the video is very similar to Beth's audition tape. Cody then apologizes to his dad and states that he will be more famous than somebody, but he does not specify who due to the camera being shut before he could say the name.

Camp TV
While not explicitly proven, Cody seems to appear in the promo of Camp TV, though has no lines. He appears with Beth and Harold as the third person of a "nerdy" trio. Cody's original design matches an unused draft of Duncan's character, which was later recycled into an intern for the final phase of the show.
