Cody also discusses his early exit and how stacking his team backfired.
Cody went next after stocking his team with competition beats for the second Jingle Bell Brawl.
However, if they were successful, the next person would have a minute less time to do it.

Frankie, Xavier, andBritney Hayneswere all successful.
It was a death sentence, and Danielle was indeed eliminated.

ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY: Lets talk about Britney.
DANIELLE REYES:Yeah, I was completely shocked that she put me in there.
Britney and I that was my ride or die.

She was my person.
The person that I was wanting to go to the finals with was Britney.
And so when she put me in, it was very shocking.

So it was very difficult for me during that time because people don’t understand.
I’ve always loved Britney in her original seasons and it broke my heart.
It was very hard for me to watch.
Cody Calafiore on ‘Big Brother Reindeer Games’.CBS
So it was very devastating for me.
And it was like I kept playing it in my head.
I was like, What happened?
So yeah, that’s how I dealt with it.
So that’s where I stand with her decision making.
Like I said, I was hurt.
I was taken aback by it.
I really thought my person was gone.
When she came back, I was elated.
That blindside was something else, so it was very hard for me.
Did you blame Xavier at all for telling Britney he put her in there to protect you?
Do you think that’s what moved the needle?
DANIELLE:In the beginning of the episode, her and Nicole already had reservations about me.
Nicole changed that with the historic win over Paul.
So Britney knew how adamant I was for women to be united and actually work together.
And we were outnumbered in this game.
And I talked about what she went through, what Diane went through, what Keisha went through.
It was so important to me personally that females will stay together.
So it was very shocking, to say the least.
I didn’t blame Xavier.
I know he had good intentions.
She knew he was protecting me.
And so not once did he think that she was going to actually put me in.
Let’s work together.
DANIELLE:I guess for me, it’s hard.
You don’t realize where you fit in your role in theBig Brotherworld.
I’m getting choked up just thinking about it.
Cody, you stacked your team, or so you thought, for that second Jingle Bell Brawl.
CODY CALAFIORE: I was definitely thinking about that.
I was weighing all options.
When I spoke to Xavier, there were a lot of different things that were running through my head.
We didn’t know.
All we knew was at the winning team is safe and determined who’s in Santas Showdown.
We didn’t know if it was going to be all four people, two people, three people.
We found that out after the competition.
So I was like: I can play this one of two ways.
I kind of rolled with it that way.
And quite frankly, you could just tell that the women had banded together.
It’s not a secret.
It’s like: Okay, well, how will that be perceived?
It’s like, Oh, what?
Does he just want to do a guy’s team?
He thinks women are weak.
So I was like, alright, let me bring Nicole over.
I’ve already dogged her a little bit.
With Josh, even though I just had met him, he was honest.
And he goes, Yes, you are.
Everybody’s coming for you.
You go big or you go home.
And unfortunately I went big and I went home.
What did you make of Britney and Taylor coming after you so early?
CODY:Danielle was saying it.
Nicole was saying it.
Britney was saying it.
Taylor was saying it.
I feel like people needed and wanted to hear that there were numbers to get me out.
They needed to know, Okay, there’s multiple people.
People made her comfortable enough to put me as a disadvantage without even knowing what it was.
I was like, I don’t want this.
I don’t feel like sabotaging people.
I feel bad now.
It’s weird to say, but I don’t want to hurt people’s feelings.
I was like, Guys, this is ridiculous.
I cared more about hurting Danielle’s feelings than about the game.
These are great whites that they put in the house coming after me.
