Cut - Spencer Bledsoe (31)

626. Spencer Bledsoe - Season 31 - Cambodia

Spencer is a weird one for me because he's not necessarily a terrible person but he still really, really irritates me, especially in Cambodia. While his edit is not entirely his fault, he no doubt contributed a lot to what might be the most cringe-worthy storyline in Survivor history. His entire trajectory is all about becoming more sympathetic and to view the other players as people, not chess pieces. What became evident throughout the season, however, is that he has absolutely no clue how to do either of these things.

On the surface level, Spencer is exactly what he was in his first season; a boring, self-righteous gamebot. That in itself makes me not like him, but what truly sparks my disdain for him in Cambodia is the fact that both he, and the editors, try to prove that he does, in fact, have emotions. I MEAN HE TOLD HIS GIRLFRIEND HE LOVED HER FOR THE FIRST TIME!!!!!!11!!11!!1!! Like, maybe that really was an important moment for him (that's if it's even true), but the way it was presented, it was just impossible to take seriously. Plus, it was made very evident towards the endgame that Spencer had NOT improved his social game at all like the edit presented him. His showing at the Final 4 tribal was disgusting and the FTC exposed that nobody liked him whatsoever xD. Now, normally I'd be able to appreciate these kinds of delusional goats but I just couldn't because the edit just HAD to make us think that he was some kind of genius.

In short, Spencer is an arrogant gamebot, who has some pretty ugly showings yet was portrayed as some kind of hero. Ew.

Save - James Miller. I don't remember him being that bad? Kinda lowkey hilarious iirc.
