Cody Assenmacher is a contestant from Survivor 43.
Cody's carefree spirit endeared him to his Vesi tribemates, allowing him to control his tribal pecking order. Cody's zany antics provided a front for his game savvy, which manifested in his deftness in activating his Beware Advantage, his orchestration of Justine Brennan's blindside, and his strategic partnership with Jesse Lopez, which was the catalyst for several post-merge eliminations. At the final six, Cody's status as a jury threat became too great to ignore, leading to Jesse disposing of his number-one ally in a brutal blindside.

What is the accomplishment you are most proud of? I'm really proud of the relationship[s] I have with my family and friends. Without them, life would be boring. Knowing they are there for me, no matter what, is comforting.
What is something we would never know from looking at you? [Several] of my bottom front teeth are fake. When I was a kid, my older brother strapped me into a sled behind an ATV in a frozen cornfield, and the sled flipped over.
Who is your hero and why? Devon Yaddof, a best friend of mine who passed from cancer in high school. His loss lit a fire in me at a very young age. That fire continues to drive me to live my life differently. And my parents, as I'm grateful for them selflessly molding me into the man I am today.
Which past Survivor will you play the game most like? Malcolm – he was a likable, physically skilled, humble player who used that skill set to advance his way through the game. Malcolm and I share multiple character, personality and physical skill sets. The ability to sit back and sometimes play the role of a fool to fool the fool who thinks they're fooling you is critical in competing in this game.
Why do you believe you can be the Sole Survivor? I know that SURVIVOR and I were meant for each other. Just took us 20 years to realize it! My charismatic, fun-loving personality will enable me to build alliances. My competitive edge will keep numbers through winning challenges. Experience being outdoors will help in building shelter and sourcing food. My experiences, profession, and living in different cities have given me wisdom ahead of my time, and I will use that to my advantage in communicating with players older than me, while my active lifestyle and youthful spirit will enable me to relate to younger players.[2]
