PLEASE NOTE: The Reality TV World Message Boards are filled with desperate

As entertainment critic Roger
Ebert once said, "If you disagree with something I write, tell me so, argue
with me, correct me--but don't tell me to shut up. That's not the American way."
Great points, Television. I love hearing these kinds of assessments as the game gets close to the end. In regard to the editing, it really is easy to see who the stars of the show are and who the editing invests in. Clearly, Spencer, Jeremy, and Kelley.
I will add one thing. In the beginning of the show, I felt that Spencer was getting the "journey player" edit. He first stated that he was going to mix it up and address his social game, but we quickly saw him fall into his prior gameplay and make the same choices. By the skin of his teeth he got by, and with a lot of luck and tribe mix-ups. Then he cried, I've been given a second chance and I am not going to blow it.
Then, he meets Jeremy, the paternal, devoted family man, who is a hard working, fire-fighter by profession. And, Stephen is shown trying to buddy up to him, and conquering his macho, surviving skills, catching minnows, and confiding GF probs. He's making good on his second chance within the second chance season. Then with this week, we even see him say, "I love you" to his GF. Clearly, it's a coming of age story for Spencer.
So, for me, I think he is the journey player, the one that makes it to the end, who was on the quest, and finds fruition. But, I do have to say that it gives me pause after this last week, when Spencer declares that indeed "they are lying to me, so I need to jump ship and find someone else to jump ship with me", then orchestrates the Stephen blindside.
When Spencer got in the drivers seat, it gives me a bit of a pause in making that "journey" player declaration. But, I will say that so far he qualifies far more than the "others".
