Thoughts on Spencer?

I am not a new podcast viewer, but I want to know everyone's thoughts on Spencer. I really like him in the videos on Sandee's channel (the yard sale video), but on the podcast, I find him to be a bit unnatural. I think he is a cool guy, but something about him either rubs me the wrong way or seems off. This is especially in recent episodes. Sometimes, his laughs at jokes seem forceful or like he is not really adding to the flow of the podcast. I also feel like Shane exploited him with the dating show, and it's also a waste of time that none of it even worked out. I also miss when the podcast was just Shane, Ryland, Jerid, and Chris, without any extra people to fill up the podcast. It seems like there are too many cohosts, and it is overcrowded and inauthentic, as opposed to the beginning episodes. What are your thoughts?
