I checked the Message Boards earlier and it seems that everyone who watched this week’s Hills is only focused on Spencer’s so-called "bad behavior"; but here at Team Spencer we like to look at the bigger picture. I’m gonna switch up the format a little today and do a breakdown of Spencer's best and worst moments of the week. At the end of the evaluation, we’ll tally up the points and have some hard evidence of how Mr. Pratt performed. Shall we get started?
Dinner at Don Antonio’s: Always the prince, Spencer showed he's a great boyfriend by ordering Heidi her favorite dish (+1). He also demonstrated his willingness to compromise, by agreeing with Heidi when she said he should go to his sister’s birthday even though Lauren would be there (+1).
Total: 2 good points, 0 bad points
Steph’s Birthday Party: Spencer showed up with a ton of balloons, a very nice gesture considering how his sister's been treating him recently (+1). Also, please note that it’s actually Brody who first stirs up trouble and makes a scene. What does Spencer do in response? Absolutely nothing (+1).
So, he was batting a thousand, but then came the “obnoxious girls” comment (-1).
Total: 2 good points, 1 bad point
By the end of episode, Spencer earned a total of 4 good points and only 1 bad. I think he’s really come a long way since Season 2. Much more mature, and much more understanding, but of course there’s still some work to be done.
And yes, I realize I completely jumped the part where Spencer stopped by Steph’s apartment to "chat," but how would I assign points? He has every right to be mad at his sister -- it makes zero sense that she’s friends with Lauren. If you try and take Steph’s side on this, I’ll see you in however many weeks when you hate her for going out on a date with Doug behind Lauren’s back (as hinted right here).
Until next week, Team Spencer is out!





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?
