James - I forgot to ask you who you wanted to give Chens to upon your eviction. You can give one person 25 or two people 15.

Welcome to Jury, Cody.  |

Alright folks, welcome to the first ever "Cody's State of the Game" Speech. As a veteran of this game (and sadly the first to go), this is typically something you'd see from Jake. Jake is someone who takes this game far more seriously than he should, and he likes to put everyone on notice at some point in the season. I've never been like that, never once in my almost ten years of playing this game... Until tonight.
So James, Matt, and all future jury members, please, take a seat, grab some popcorn, and prepare yourself for the state of this game. Now, I'm not sure what I'm allowed to share or not, because one of us very well could have the chance to return, I know this game that well. But I will assure you I don't give a damn. I'm going to share all. I want to start off first by saying, James, I apologize for you being here. You were NOT my target a couple weeks ago. I wanted to get Christian out, but I was talked out of it. Then, honestly, I wanted Matt out. Matt, I just saw you as a threat. You were always posting, and seemed to always be around. As a vet, that scared me. Honestly, I was shocked to see you stay over James. I figured the people playing would see you as more of a threat like I did. So I honestly felt like my HOH reign was a waste. Then came the reign of Derek. Derek assured Jake and I that neither of us would be going up. He claimed that he would tell everyone Jake threatened to buy immunity, and that his true plan was to backdoor me. Honestly, I wouldn't have been surprised if he actually did try to backdoor me. But I won veto, and as much as I wanted to use it on Gabe to force Derek to put up Joner or Christian, there was always the fear that he might put up Jake, the only person I knew I could really trust in this game.
So, Matt, you left because I gave in to that social mastermind known as Derek. You see, this state of the game, it has nothing to do with Bryson, Joner, or Christian. I could careless about those three. I never talked to Bryson, and Joner seemed cool... Then Christian, well, I swore revenge on him for getting rid of Van but never did that one (rookie mistake, honestly). But this whole thing is about Derek and Jake. The two other returnees, and two people I know very well... Well, one I know well enough when it comes to this game. The other, I know both inside and outside of this game, and he is one of my closest friends. Jake, he is honestly like a brother to me. But I didn't want to play this game with him. I wanted him to think I was, but I wanted to just kind of float and do whatever, then I started winning things. I pulled myself off the block and got Van nominated. I won an HOH, and failed to do what I swore to do. Then I won another POV, and again failed to do what I swore to do. But to be honest, this game, it hasn't meant much to me. I've been dealing with a lot of personal things since this game started, and this game has always played second fiddle to those. That's why I never really took the time to try getting to know either one of you two, when typically I'd have at least one conversation with everyone.
But now, I feel we need to address the social mastermind, Derek. You see, Derek is someone I know all too well in these games. The guy is the first every winner of this version of BB ORG's, and he won for a reason. He masterminded a Spartan alliance, and won because of his social game. Every time he has played since, that has gotten him evicted, or, in one case, he go second place because a man who went by Game Wiz, played the better game. It wasn't a Dan situation, where Derek lost because he had won before. Derek likes to think that is why, but Game Wiz was playing the game smart. Derek was hurt, massively after that defeated, he was down in the dumps, depressed, and I felt bad, because I was the deciding vote. But he got over it, and he started hosting again, and did a wonderful job at it. But then comes this game. Knowing Derek, I instantly knew Micheal was Derek. The name was a dead give away (he typically went by ddawgman1) and the way he talked to me, I knew it was him. Yes, I was a returnee, and knew there was more like me, so I was on the look out. I knew who Jake was before I even started playing, since he is a good friend of mine. But Derek, yeah, I knew who he was fairly quickly. So when the reveal came, and everyone learned who we really were, I was kind of wanting us to at least work together for awhile, because honestly, with Derek you can only take so much of him sometimes.
Derek is a good guy, a smart player, but also incredibly dumb. He was playing the field, and it was obvious from day one. He would tell Jake and I the things everyone was telling him, and I would just sit there and tell Jake, "Man, what the hell is he thinking? He knows they have to be after him too, right?". Then it hit me, he was just being himself. That's Derek, he kills everyone with kindness. He might have also thrown in mentions as to how dangerous we were. Or how the Bullet Club destroyed this game last season. Or maybe he didn't, I don't know, and honestly I don't care. I just want the main point of this thing to be what kind of person Derek is when it comes to this game. Typically he is a nice guy, but this season, he will do whatever it takes to win, including ruin what was likely his best shot at reaching the end tonight by doing what he did.
Which brings me to my final point, Double Eviction. All week long, or week and a half long (however long it was we had), I knew I wasn't going to be able to be here. I knew I had to work, and there was no way my phone was going to allow me to win. I was able to get on break, and try my best, but it wasn't enough. I had also been telling Jake all week, and even the whole comp, to make sure you buy yourself immunity, then fight hard for Veto to take me off. We need to make sure Derek or Joner or Christian goes home. But he waited too long to grab immunity, and Derek decided to do so, knowing what our plan was. Derek did something that was probably his smartest move in this game to date, but it also destroyed his chance of doing anything in this game. He then decided to evict me instead of Joner, causing a tie. That hurt, because Derek is someone I do consider a friend in these games typically. We even shared personal stories just a couple weeks ago. The man crushed me, but I can pick myself back up, no problem, I'm a pretty chill dude. But what he did to my best friend Jake. I'll never forgive him for that. Jake is defeated, he has gone through hell the past three seasons. Year after year after year, he should have won, but BS reasons caused him to lose. This season, I didn't care if I was sitting with him at the end or not, I just cared to get him as far as I could. But me going the way I did, it has destroyed the once great Jake Frato that I've known to play these games. He is a shell of his former self, and to me, Derek knew this is what would happen, and felt like trying to talk to Jake as if this had to be done and everything would be okay would be the best move. It's all frustrating to see.
I'm not saying what Derek did was a bad move. Far from it, I said just above that he did the best move to date. But it was also his gravest mistake. I could be wrong, I've been wrong numerous times when it comes to these games. But what happened in Double Eviction, I don't blame Christian, I blame Derek. It just furthered my frustration I had been having with him. Derek was once a man I praised, I wanted to be like him in these games. He was a social god... But this game... It's different. I can't really explain it, but it seems that more so than every before, he was literally playing everyone, being on everyone's good sides. But knowing Derek like I do, he fears getting blood on his hands. He know in this case, getting me out wouldn't get blood on his hands, it would only anger Jake. He also probably knew I'd be upset and come here and complain. Point is, Derek isn't the man I once thought him to be. I'm not completely sure if that is good or bad. I've lost respect for the player I once thought he was, and honestly I don't think highly of him right now. If he were to make it to the end, I'm not even sure if I could stomach voting for him... But honestly, there isn't really anyone left in this game I'd like to see win aside from Jake, and that's not just because he is a good friend of mine. It's a combination of multiple things.
So this was my first ever state of the game speech. It was lengthy, and pointless I'm sure. But I needed to get it out, and I needed to do it as public as I could. I needed to bring things to everyone's attention, because this game has been nothing but frustrating for me.

Well.. This has been an interesting day. I get home from work, have a message from Jake saying he gave his state of BB10 address. Then while I was freaking out about the announcement of The Last of Us Part II, I got a message about Derek responding. Derek just continues to lose respect in my books. He is throwing himself a pity party, thinking he is the victim of this whole thing. He isn't, neither is Jake. I'm the victim. I'm over the whole thing, I was over it last night. Jake has NOT bullied Derek, he has only simply told him that he didn't enjoy what happened on Double Eviction Night.
Not being able to talk about this whole thing to everyone, on the public forums is frustrating, because I am the man in the middle of this all. My demise was the cause of this destruction of Jake and Derek. Honestly, based on what Derek said, I would simply suggest for him to leave this game, and seek professional help. Derek is typically a good guy, but when he is depressed, he is really depressed... And I fear for his safety right now honestly. He shouldn't remain in this game, not because Jake is going to continue bashing him, because he won't. Jake isn't talking to him right now... But because slowly Derek will realize why Jake is upset. I don't fully understand it, to be completely honest. For me, it was all about respect. I was disrespected, and I didn't like it, but I got over it quickly. I don't really want to talk to Derek for awhile, but we only ever talked in these games any ways.
