Charlie Brown: The Story of Spencer Bledsoe - Survivor: Cagayan

[@letstalkfiction5187]

Spencer is and will always be my favorite survivor character. Everything from his distifunctional tribe, to his play from the bottom, even till the end, he was always smart and good with all the opportunities given to him

[@Lord_Dino]

I feel the same way! My first season of Survivor I watched second chance, and when I watched it as a nine year old kid, I naturally loved Spencer as he shares a first name with me (and 9 year olds get so excited whenever someone shares a name lol) I was crushed when he didn't when Cagayan. After watching Cambodia I was an even bigger fan of him. He is amazing

[@brentmichael4770]

That's like being in love with the Cleveland Browns, the symbol of always losing and never doing anything to remember. America's always loves a winner. Are you from Spain?

He can get arrogant, and doesn't put his faith in the right people, but he plays a good game, fights hard, and never gives up it's a shame all the bad luck he would have. I would definitely like to see him play for a third time.

The funniest part about Spencer's iconic quote "Kass.. zero chance of winning the game" is Tony's hilarious facial expressions making fun of him 😂 I didn't even notice it until my 3rd rewatch and now every time I see that clip it's all I see and I laugh every time lol

[@thebigboofer3826]

Fun fact that maybe a lot of big survivor fans don’t know. Garrett Adelstein is one of the top poker players in the world and truly a nice and solid person all around. This was probably the worst he’s ever done at anything in his entire life.

[@NirYuZy]

Same goes for J'tia, she graduated early out of high school and was the first black woman to get a PhD in her university Also to add on Garrett, he graduated class valedictorian(he does tell this to the audience) and graduated summa cum laude(with highest honors) They're smart but clearly they are not up for survivor

[@freddytang2128]

As much as I cheered for Spencer, looking back I realized he behaved pretty immaturely. The way he talked to Woo in his final tribal speech was incredibly condescending and disrespectful. Sure it’s not worst thing ever on survivor, but pretty classless

[@Rodanguirus]

He mocks him pretty relentlessly in confessionals too, which always rubbed me the wrong way as well. Like you said, far from the worst thing on Survivor, but Woo just seems so easygoing and harmless that it reflects poorly on Spencer. His "zero chance of winning this game" quote is also so whiny, though there I can at least understand being in the heat of the moment and seeing Kass seemingly obliterate both her own and his game for no logical reason.

quick question: if Spencer was in the final two with Tony, who wins? i think Spencer could win because most of the jury were mad at Tony. Tony wins against woo or kass but against Spencer I'm pretty sure Tony loses.

[@hauntedhaunter6148]

I’d argue Tony only won because of Spencer on the jury, so if he was in the final two with him, it’s possible he would be the more like able option and he could definitely back up his game as a smart player with multiple challenge wins. Plus, he could also paint the Charlie Brown narrative himself.

[@KeitaroHirochi]

This final 2 never could've happened. I'm quite sure that despite his spiel at the final 4 tribal council, Spencer had no intention of taking Tony to final 2. He had showed too much respect for Tony lying on the names of his children to then turn around and pretend he'd be selfless and honorable; you'd have to be foolish to believe him. And obviously, Tony knows better than to take Spencer to final 2 when he could just take an easy win against whichever of Woo or Kass makes it there.

Honestly I sometimes wonder if J'tia pouring the rice actually SAVED her bc think about it.. they were all annoyed at Garrett for being so dumb about things, but then the rice being poured out was caused directly by him telling J'tia she's going. She wouldn't have done it if he didn't do that. And so even though she did it.. he was kind of at blame, and since they were already pissed at him for trying to control everyone, it pushed them even further toward him.

Woo talking about the final 4 tie is my favorite part of the season I’m glad it made this video

[@turnerhill4695]

HELL YEAH! I’ve been waiting for this one!

[@markkelso871]

currently rewatching this season and I can say that he definitely tried a little too hard to be funny at times. He knew what was going on but he felt it was necessary to say it too often... telling cass she had no chance to win when she flipped, little condescending things here and there... I'm sure he could clean that part of his game up with age. Spencer saying garett was a moron for trying to stifle conversations but the other people should have just backed him up at that point. it served the same purpose as lying to jtia and she never has the chance to pour the rice out as she's never alone... so he kinda retroactively looks smart IMO. Them voting him out was among the dumbest moves in survivor history IMO. Spencer arguing that if there is another immunity challenge if they vote him out they'll certainly lose is irrelevant honestly because it's 3 and they just vote jtia out. Not fully irrelevant if she has an idol or whatever but pretty irrelevant. Bad argument.

[@thomasbrodie-sangsteredits5971]

My favorite character probably as Cagayan was the first season I watched and of the Underdog story which I always love to root for. Unfortunately in Cambodia although making the final 3 his earlier game and social game hindered his way to winning. I believe in Cagayan he could have possibly either A. Convince Woo and Kass to Vote Tony "out" at final 5 flushing his super idol (obviously not knowing about the power but then because he won immunity it would come down to Either Kass, Woo, Or Trish and most likely Trish goes home as its a 3v1 and if he does not win immunity the next challenge (preferably he does) he convinces Kass and Woo to vote out Tony as Tony no longer has the Idol works. And finally, win the Final immunity which I can see him Winning!

[@esdeathisbae9480]

Tony showed he had another idol besides the super idol at 5 and he played it even though he got no votes he wasn't going anywhere even if Spencer did try to strike at him which would then let him still do his super idol bluff

Yeah i understand why he's pissed off, and i would've wanted him to win more than Tony. Tony was my 2nd pick just because of his Immunity Idol finding and his Spy Shack!
