The story

Cody Assenmacher brought 'crazy Hawaiian energy' to Survivor 43, and the goofball act was exactly that — an act. Behind the antics was a savvy player who activated a Beware Advantage, engineered Justine Brennan's blindside, and built the season's most productive partnership with Jesse Lopez.

The two ran a string of post-merge votes together, but Cody's likability became his undoing: at the final six, Jesse cut his own number-one ally in a brutal blindside before Cody could reach the end. An elevator salesman from Iowa by way of Honolulu, he left as one of the season's most entertaining players.
