Cut - James Clement

590. Spencer Bledsoe - Season 28 - Cagayan

I feel so honoured and privileged to not only cut Spencer once, but to cut him twice <3. And believe it or not, I actually dislike Cagayan Spencer MORE than Cambodia Spencer. Sure, as a character, Spencer is a lot more insufferable in Cambodia because of his edit, but up until the finale, he wasn't an awful human being. The same cannot be said about him in Cagayan.

Spencer really is up there with Aitu Four in terms of unlikable underdogs for me. The whole season, we are basically fed the narrative that Spencer is a great player and the only reason he's on the bottom is because everyone around him is stupid. And it's not just the edit that forces this notion upon us, it's Spencer HIMSELF. He lands himself in the minority pre-merge? Garrett's fault for being stupid. He lands himself in the minority at the merge? Kass' fault for being stupid. He can't convince people to take out Tony? Well, that's because... everyone else is stupid! I just find it beyond ridiculous that the guy in the minority, who can't possibly understand the dynamics within the majority, can go around as if he KNOWS exactly where everyone lies in the pecking order. Ugh! And let's not forget he produces one of the most vomit-inducing FTC speeches of all time where he still manages to act as if he was the only person who ever caught on to Tony's game.

Besides the fact that he's an arrogant know-it-all, he's just a gamebot. All of his confessionals are boring, not funny, not clever, rambles about the game that I did not care about whatsoever. He evidently has no clue about how to form actual relationships with people and is extremely overrated by a lot of people, in my opinion. Spencer is the one thing that makes Cagayan not enjoyable at times and I honestly regret not nominating him sooner.

Save - Reed Kelly. Was his speech rehearsed? Yes. Did he do it to be remembered? Yes. Did he hate on true icon Missy? Yes. Was it iconic? Fuck yes!
