Candice Leigh Codyhttp://www.hipaaspace.com/Medical_Billing/Coding/National_Provider_Identifier/Codes/NPI_1962793075.txt (née Woodcock) is a contestant from , , and .
In Cook Islands, Candice attracted the attention of several men in her original season, most notably Adam Gentry. She was mainly known for her to go with the Raro Alliance, resulting in the creation of the Aitu Four. This move proved fatal for Candice, who was then frequently sent to by the Aitu Four out of revenge. After Jonathan Penner flipped on the Raro Alliance, Candice found herself in the minority and was voted out.
In Heroes vs. Villains, Candice was initially a part of the Heroes Alliance. However, her awareness of her status on the outside of the alliance prompted her to flip to Russell Hantz and his Villains' alliance once the Heroes were down in numbers. After her flip, Candice was betrayed, and sent to the jury.

==Survivor==
===Cook Islands===
Candice started the game on the Caucasian Rarotonga tribe, where she became quick friends with all of her tribemates, notably Parvati Shallow, love interest Adam Gentry, and Jonathan Penner. Though Raro would win every Immunity Challenge during the four-tribe phase of the game, Candice did attract controversy at the end of the Immunity Challenge on Day 6. Realizing he would be next to go from the Aitutaki tribe, Billy Garcia whispered his predicament to Candice. Candice told him "we love you" ("we" as in Rarotonga), which Billy misinterpreted as "I love you", and so Billy told Candice he loved her in response. At Tribal Council that night, Billy told both his tribe and Jeff Probst that his prize from the game was falling in love with Candice, although no one took him seriously.
On Day 7, Candice was switched to the Aitu tribe, alongside Jonathan and Jessica Smith (nicknamed Flicka). Though she was sent to Exile Island ahead of the group's first Tribal Council, Jonathan was able to secure Candice's position within the group, creating a four-way alliance with original Manihiki memners Yul Kwon and Becky Lee. Following her return, Candice remained loyal to her new allies, eliminating both Cao Boi Bui and Flicka.
On Day 19, Jeff Probst offered the castaways the opportunity to mutiny from one tribe to another. Wanting to reconnect with her allies Adam and Parvati, Candice quickly mutinied from Aitu and was followed by Jonathan, much to the fury of her remaining Aitu tribemates. Though Candice was able to reestablish her friendships with Adam and Parvati and survive several votes, Aitu's winning streak would result in Candice being sent to Exile Island multiple times as punishment for her betrayal. 
On Day 25, Candice joined the newly merged Aitutonga tribe. Though Candice's Raro Alliance held a 5-4 majority over the Aitu Four, Jonathan was convinced to flip on Raro by Yul after he showed him his Hidden Immunity Idol, eliminating Candice's ally Nate Gonzalez at Tribal Council. Now in the minority, Candice and her remaining allies attempted to turn the Aitu Four against Jonathan for his dishonesty. In the end though, Candice's pleas fell on deaf ears and she was eliminated in a 5-3 vote on Day 30. After kissing Adam on her way out of Tribal Council, Candice became the fifth member of the jury. 
At the Final Tribal Council, Candice pointed out that Yul was dancing around the jurors questions and said she only wanted a yes or no answer or he would lose her vote. Candice asked Yul if he felt any shame in how he worked the jury. After some hesitation, Yul said yes. Yul almost explained himself but Candice stopped him, pointing out he broke her rule. Despite that mistake, Candice voted for Yul to win the title of Sole Survivor, crucial in allowing him to defeat Ozzy Lusth in a close 5-4-0 vote.

 In , Rarotonga sent Candice to Exile Island, granting her immunity from Aitutaki's Tribal Council.</tabber>
===Heroes vs. Villains ===
A controversial inclusion on the cast, Candice entered the season on the Heroes tribe, due to her having chosen to nobly from her tribe to join her former allies. Though Candice did not form many social connections in the early days of the game, she was eventually recruited as a number into the majority Heroes Alliance, which opposed a minority group led by Tom Westman; who tried multiple times to pull Candice to his side. 
By the time the majority of Tom's alliance had been eliminated, several of Candice's tribemates (most notably Amanda Kimmel) had begun to view her as unreliable for entertaining Tom's pleas, and planned to vote her out ahead of the Day 15 Double Tribal Council. Luckily for Candice, she managed to win the Heroes' Individual Immunity, saving herself from elimination. The Heroes went on to win the remaining tribal Immunity Challenges, keeping Candice safe until the merge. 
When the Heroes and Villains merged into Yin Yang, Candice initially remained committed to her original Heroes Alliance. However, they were soon put into a 5-4 minority following a double Hidden Immunity Idol play from Parvati Shallow on Day 27. In the aftermath of this vote, Russell Hantz approached Candice about defecting to the Villains, which she agreed to consider. Ahead of the next vote, Candice consulted with Sandra Diaz-Twine; who was considering joining the remaining Heroes to vote out Russell. In the end though, both women voted with the Villains, helping to eliminate Amanda in a 6-3 vote.
Upon returning to camp, both Rupert Boneham and Colby Donaldson lambasted Candice for her betrayal, though she was largely unbothered, feeling secure in her position amongst the Villains. After Russell misplayed a Hidden Immunity Idol at the previous Tribal Council, Candice helped the Villains in their search for the re-hidden idol. Though the idol was found by Sandra, Rupert managed to convince the tribe that he had found it instead. After the Immunity Challenge, the original Villains planned to split the votes between Rupert and Colby, but Jerri Manthey pushed to have the vote split between Rupert and Candice instead, viewing the latter as a larger threat. 
At Tribal Council, Candice joined the Villains in splitting the vote 3-3, unaware that she was the recipient of the three other votes instead of Colby. In a surprising turn of events, both Rupert and Colby voted for Candice as revenge for her betrayal of Amanda. This, combined with the three other votes from the split vote was enough to blindside and eliminate Candice 5-3. She became the fifth member of the jury. 
At the Final Tribal Council, Candice criticized Russell for his duplicitous gameplay and likened Parvati's alliance with him to that of an abusive relationship. Candice would eventually vote for Sandra to win, alongside all the other Hero jury members and Courtney Yates.

===Blood vs. Water===
Candice went on to play for a third time in with her loved one and husband, John Cody. As she was a returning player, she joined the Galang tribe. At the First Impressions vote, she voted for Laura Morett because she did not know anything about her; however, the majority of the tribe voted out Candice for the same reason, sending her to . John, her loved one, was offered a chance to take her place, but Candice wanted John to experience the game as she had already played twice before and chose to stay on Redemption Island. 
At the first Redemption Island duel, Candice and Rupert Boneham (who had taken his wife's place on Redemption Island) competed against Marissa Peterson. Candice won, and gave a clue to the whereabouts of the Tadhana Hidden Immunity Idol to John, while Marissa came in second place, eliminating Rupert. Candice and Marissa next competed against Rachel Foulger, and, while Rachel was eliminated, Candice won and chose to give a second idol clue to John.
On Night 8, John was voted out of Tadhana, joining Candice and Marissa on Redemption Island. At the arena the following day, Candice made several negative comments towards Brad Culpepper, who she deemed responsible for John's elimination. After both she and John survived the duel, Candice instructed John to give the clue to Brad's wife, Monica Culpepper, in an attempt to paint a target on her. However, Monica chose to publicly burn the clue at the arena instead. On Night 10, Brad was voted out and joined Candice and John on Redemption Island, much to her delight. At her fourth duel on Day 11, Candice competed against John and Brad, but narrowly lost to the latter, permanently eliminating her.
