Scruffy

Scruffy is Duncan's pet tarantula. It was sent from home in 2008: A Space Owen, along with the other castmates packages. Sadly, Scruffy died. (He was smashed in the Vomit Comet by Harold.)



2008: A Space Owen
All of the remaining campers are given something sent from home. Duncan receives Scruffy. Duncan was so happy he received Scruffy. He even used baby talk when talking to it. Scruffy immediately jumps on Harold, after hearing a loud noise, after Duncan tells him that he jumps with loud noises. In the zero gravity chamber, Duncan gives Scruffy his pillow, and not to Courtney, much to her protest that he would give it to a tarantula over her.

Scruffy, much like DJ's Bunny, has been able to tap into Duncan's soft side. He showed a great deal of affection to Scruffy even talking to him in an overly endearing voice This completely goes against his label as a "Bad Boy".

Later, once Harold is the first to enter the Vomit Comet space ride. Duncan loses track of Scruffy. Once Harold gets out of the ride after lasting a mere 5.3 seconds, Duncan notices Scruffy crushed on Harold's back. Courtney assures Duncan that Scruffy is 'in a better place' and that place is most likely a lot better than where they are now. However, Courtney says in the confessional that she's glad Scruffy is gone so that Duncan will start to pay attention to her again. This prompts Duncan to vote for Harold in the elimination ceremony. Owen's vote for Harold eliminates him. Duncan also seems pleased Harold goes home.
