And those are valid complaints, but he still had purpose going far, even if he wasn't exactly enjoyable nor had much going on per say but what I gathered, the Producers (obviously) wanted the two returnees to make it far. And Sierra and Alejandro's main plots relied on Heather and Cody. So of course Cody would make it far since you can't really have Sierra without Cody. (Or disasters happen)
