When watching Cagayan (a great season for those who haven't seen it), I rooted for Spencer through and through and painfully watched him take the fourth place title (although, Tony played a great game as well). When Spencer came back for Second Chances there was no doubt in my mind who I'd be rooting for. I had automatically made him my first place prediction because I have deep faith that he can make it deep in the game. When Spencer did his Second Chance interview, he talked about what he would do differently than Cagayan and he said, he wanted to have a better social game. At first, I was shocked, I thought Spencer had a great social game in Cagayan. Then after re-watching Cagayan and I realized he was right, for him he was an over-strategizer to the point where he didn't spend enough time connecting with others (something he is doing this game). What makes spencer great, is that he is probably the best dodger, Survivor has ever seen. I don't know how many times Spencer has narrowly escaped eviction. Sure, there is luck involved, but it denotes to the fact that he is a great player. Most of the time, contestants are safe and they vote with their allies, when they know they are on the block they either, go home or make it another week. Usually a contestant will know they are on the chopping block and go home, but Spencer seemed to nearly be on the chopping block almost every episode in Cagayan and in Second Chances as well. I am so happy the merge is here, because although alliances can still form, Spencer has new life, new potential for different relationships and a chance to win individual immunity in which he has proven he could win, when needed. I love Spencer, I really hope he prevails and wins the season in a true underdog type story.
