Cody and Gwen

The Cody-Gwen Attraction is the attraction between Cody and Gwen. This relationship is presented as one-sided on Cody's side, but still has many supporters.

Overview
Cody has a huge crush on Gwen. While he's been a good friend to Gwen, she never liked him the way he did. Gwen originally saw Cody as an annoying younger brother. It is worth mentioning that since Cody has been so understanding over the matter, even going out of his way to help his love rival to make Gwen happy, that Gwen recognizes Cody as a close friend and respects him. In return for Cody's help regarding Trent, she also helped Cody in lending him one of her bras so he could win a bet against Owen.

Not So Happy Campers - Part 1
Cody compliments Gwen by saying she's smart and that he feels that. Gwen tells him that he should be on the boys' side, then throws him out the door.

Dodgebrawl
Cody selflessly jumps out and gets hit with the ball intended for Gwen (he was apparently extremely devoted to her, seeing as the ball hit him in the groin).

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. 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 voted off 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 by Lindsay and Beth first).Gwen then in the confessional says Cody is like a annoying little brother. Cody attempts several times to ask Gwen out on a date while they paddle across the lake, only to get a rejection each time. He only finally understands Gwen's rejection when she hits him in the groin with her paddle. Eventually, Cody realizes that Gwen is rejecting him because she prefers Trent. 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. Though it is never mentioned before, or after this, that the campers had to do dishes. 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 the episode Paintball Deer Hunter, Cody is eliminated after being mauled by a Bear, as he was wheeled out by Beth, Gwen clearly says goodbye to him, showing that they can be just friends.

Haute Camp-ture

The Very Last Episode, Really!
Gwen considered Cody one of the sane people, the others being LeShawna, Bridgette, Owen, and DJ. Cody supported Gwen when she and Owen competed to win the $100,000, and was one of the few to remain loyal to her even when Owen announced his plans to throw a massive party (the others being LeShawna, Trent and Eva). He will not compete in Total Drama Action and appears to be content with Gwen being with Trent as long as it makes her happy. As long as Gwen and Trent's relationship remains healthy, Cody appears to have no problem with letting his "dream girl" move on to greener pastures.

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 would 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 there, 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 being on their camel's rear end.

Cody desperately wants to avoid having to wear a lederhosen because he doesn't want Gwen to see him one, but someone from his team has to. So he tells Sierra that she'd look hot in a lederhosen, making her beg Chris to wear it. By hearing her enthusiasm, he doesn't give it to her and Cody is forced to wear it anyway.

The Am-AH-Zon Race
Early in the episode, Cody lets Chris know that he has allergies and 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.
