Cody Christopher Calafiore is the runner-up of Big Brother 16 (US) and the winner of Big Brother 22 (US).
Originally a member of the Bomb Squad in BB16, Cody found himself more loyal to contestant Derrick Levasseur. Together, they formed a Final Two deal called The Hitmen. Cody was initially seen as one of the weaker HouseGuests by viewers. However, as the game progressed, Cody began to play more aggressively winning 3 HoHs and 3 PoVs, and thus making him the fifth male in Big Brother history to win 6 competitions overall in a single season. After he won the final HOH, he chose to infamously evict Victoria Rafaeli and take his fellow Hitmen partner Derrick with him to the Final Two, only to lose in a final Jury vote of 7–2.
His decision to evict Victoria has been considered one of the worst moves ever by the viewers because they believe he could have easily won against Victoria. Most of the jurors have even admitted that Cody would have beaten Victoria.
Cody began BB22 by winning the first HoH. Following his win, both he and Memphis formed a final 2 alliance called The Commission, and the two brought in other houseguests into their alliance called The Committee. The Committee controlled the season, which kept Cody safe. Cody had several alliances and deals, such as separate final 2 deals with Memphis, Enzo and fellow BB16 castmate Nicole , as well as a final 3 alliance with Enzo and Memphis called The Wise guys. Cody had a hand in evicting several players, including his own allies. He was a competition threat again, winning 4 HoH's and 4 PoV's. Cody managed not to be nominated throughout the season. After winning the Final HoH, he became the first ever houseguest to make it to the final 2 without ever going on the block. Cody's dominant strategic and social games, and competition wins earned him the win in a unanimous 9-0 vote. He was in alliances with almost everyone in the house, and developed very strong friendships with Enzo, Nicole F, Memphis and Dani but had a minor dislike towards David, short lived running feuds with Janelle and Kevin and a long running-feud with Kaysar. By having no eviction votes cast against him and receiving all the jury votes, he became the second American houseguest to play a Perfect Game, after Dan from Season 10, and the fourth houseguest overall in North American Big Brother History.
In both of his appearances he has placed 2nd and 1st, which is currently tied for the best result in two appearances in the game. He is the the third player to make it to the Final Two twice.
