''I don't know if it's fair to say he deliberately wanted to lead Sierra on. Trust me from my own experience, which is actually pretty similar to Cody's with Sierra, that it's very hard to straight-up tell a person you don't like them. You don't want to hurt their feelings, and you also don't want them to become upset/angry with you. There was a girl at my school who was obsessed with me for a long time, and I honestly just didn't have the heart or the guts to tell her to back off. To be honest, I was scared of two things: What she would do to herself, and what she would do to me. In terms of hypocrisy, you are very right, but I really don't think he was doing it on purpose.''

The thing is he did deliberately lead her on. I get it completely if you're uncomfortable with someone similar to Sierra. That's fine enough. But Cody then USED this for his own personal gain. What about in Slap Slap Revolution when one team member had to wear a really tight German outfit and he excused himself out of it by lying to Sierra that she'd "look really hot" in it? That's clearly manipulating a vulnerable person for his own selfish gain. What about in Can't Help Falling in Louvre when she spent the entire episode crying and then he calmed her by saying "This day has been terrible. You know why? Because you're not bugging me" ? He was pretty much asking her to continue what she's doing and it's horrible. A third example was when Heather tried convincing him to just be upfront with Sierra but then he just casually let her give him an easy mode of transportation for the first challenge in Chinese Fake Out with reaching the restaurant with the ever so hateable line "You've gotta pick your moments."

On top of that, I get it if you're afraid to hurt someone's feelings and all but the problem is Cody was completely in the wrong in his interaction with Sierra yet he is usually portrayed as a helpless victim, with her only really being the hero of him in her last few episodes with him. But the problem is if you inspect closer, Sierra's obsession of him wasn't even that bad in the first two episodes. Him not objecting to what she does at all is what pushed what she was doing in the first place and it's blatantly obvious. To the poor girl she thinks he's being so loving towards her advances and really thinks she has a shot with him even though he'd usually just be b***h talking her or hiding from her. I do get he's afraid but for gods sake portray him as in the wrong, make him actually man up, and get a hold of that poor girl!
