And something else we should factor in, that COULD change everything else: FTC performance matters a TON. And based on the previous experiences that both Jeremy and Spencer have with FTC's, it's no secure that Spencer is a WAAAAAY better speaker and much more persuasive in his arguments, as well as very clear in his statements. Jeremy, on the other hand, came across as bumbling and uncertain in his FTC speech, which basically boiled down to "Natalie dun good" and "ya'll just gotta vote for her." So unless Spencer lost IQ points between now and Cagayan, and Jeremy conversely took some speech classes, it's clear which of those two could easily outtalk the other and debate them right under the table. The only harm that could bring for Spencer is that it'd make him seem more cold and calculating, almost like a politician, which can either be a huge plus (as it was for Cochran) or a huge disadvantage (like it was for Carolyn).
