Prior to Monday night, 2007 was shaping up to be a hard one for not only Spencer, but everyone that works hard and diligently over here at Team Spencer. The unfathomable "hate-parade" America was spewing on Mr. Pratt seemed to have no end in site, and I'm not going to lie, I was starting to crack a little. What do you do when your favorite person in the history of all of television can't seem to catch a break with anyone?
They say that it's always darkest before sunrise, and I guess it's true, because after Monday's episode... Spencer... totally... REDEEMED HIMSELF!
The haters aren't going to want to hear this, but Spencer's changing, and it's for the better. For instance, when he and Brody were out clothes shopping, Brody starts ripping on him, saying married people don't have sex.
Old Spencer would have shot his mouth off and said something that would have gotten everyone on Team Lauren all-sorts of fired up. New Spencer doesn't say a word, showing that perhaps he put his days of talking to Playmate's behind him.
Spencer also zipped his lip when he came home to see Heidi had painted over his delightfully tacky mural. Sure he was mad, there's no denying that, but at the end of it all, he pitched in and finished the paint job Heidi started.
In the three episodes that have aired this season, Spencer has shown that he's committed to making his relationship with Heidi work, displaying what one might describe as a "polished maturity."
Jumping extremely off topic, I have to say I was very disappointed with the two arcade games he choose to put in the apartment. First he got "Centipede" which is soooo cliche. Then he goes ahead and tells Heidi that "Lethal Enforcers" would be arriving shortly. I almost jumped out of my seat impressed at his choice of an absolute gem from the 90's. As the episode went on, we see that finally both games are in the living room. But wait a second...where the hell is "Lethal Enforcers???" Instead there's "Area 51," which absolutely sucks! Enraged, I threw everything off my desk, got up and ran out of the room. It took me 3 hours to finally unlock myself out of the bathroom and sit down to finish watching the show.

Listen Spencer, I forgive you....but you REALLY dropped the ball there pal.
