What did you think of Heidi and Spencer's behavior on "I'm a Celebrity … Get Me Out of Here"?

Heidi and Spencer, who are best known as the stars of MTV’s “The Hills,” made bigger names for themselves after appearing on NBC’s “I’m a Celebrity, Get Me Out of Here” last week. In fact, they became the two most talked about contestants after throwing fits, claiming torture and more on the show. Their behavior was considered so outrageous it even got a nickname – “Spencing out.” So, what did you think of Heidi and Spencer’s behavior on “I’m a Celebrity … Get Me Out of Here”? Was it genuine or a cry for media attention?

It's a pity that self important, vacuous people get are time for being idiots. There are so many great people, doing important things with their lives. It's time for us to stop celebrating stupidity. I think Al's restraint was impressive. It would have been easy to really dig in and show what a waste of time they are. Of course, the ridiclous show that they were on is on NBC, sooooooo...

Al Roker was way out of line during the Spencer & Heidi interview, when you are doing a interview you do not correct someone on a question you've asked....why did he ask a question then attack them both so quick as to tell them they were wrong!! If it was Donald Trump or Tom Cruise he would not have acted that way towards them...it's awful how he treated them both. I'm not a great fan of thiers but I was of Al Roker..note "was"..He WAS rude & had a attacking kind of way towards them..He needs to APOLOGIZE!!!!!

Apologize?!!?? Are you kidding?? First, I'd like to see "Speidi" apologize for their rude and bullish behavior on the reality show that they agreed to appear on. They chose the biggest charity so that if and when they decide to leave the show, it wouldn't matter. They did not go on the reality show to help a charity. They went there to help themselves! I never cared for them before the reality show, but I certainly could give a crap about them now.

Al Roker did what the general public wishes they could do. If I ever have the displeasure of meeting "Speidi", I would ask them the same thing and then tell them to grow the ... up! They deserve to be booted off their celebrity status because they don't deserve it. They need to learn what it is like to behave like a decent human being instead of espousing how Christian they are - maybe they should go back and learn what being a Christian truly means. Selfish self centered brats the are!! It's time their 15 minutes of fame are up!!

Although I dont agree with alot of the antics Heidi and Spencer have pulled over the years, I strongly believe that Al went about this interview the wrong way. He was trying to portray Spencer as being a jerk when all he did was come off as one himself. I think that the Today show should have someone who is a little more professional with interviews stick to it and Al stick to the weather. I thought the interview was all over the place and out of pace.

I think Al did a spectacular job. Too often are people rewarding for acting inappropriately and are given a celebrity status for doing so. When someone thinks they are better than someone else and goes as far to scream this on national TV, its just ridiculous. ON a side note, not sure behaving a "disciple" and posing for Playboy are quite consitent.

Al,

If you are reading this...you are AWESOME. I am so proud of you!

You simply asked what the rest of would like to point out....that they behaved miserably and are spoiled brats. They need to pay others for being on any sort of show. Heidi and Spencer should be ashamed of their actions and or get on some Bi-Polar Medications.

They are RIDICULOUS...and I will never watch anything with them on it again.

WAY TO GO AL!!!!!!!!!!!!!

(AND I HAVE HEARD THAT THEY SAID THAT THE "WEATHERMAN" INTERVIEWED THEM...WELL...PROBABLY NO ONE ELSE WOULD.)

AL is way more than a "weatherman"...he is a professional journalist.

(and I never post anything on-line..but have to stick up for Al)

They ARE what is wrong with the world today. Please remember that you are beloved & adored & they are just vapid, spoiled idiots who contribute nothing to the world. Keep up the great work Al!

Al did a great job. I don't watch their show, but after seeing a little bit of celebrity was just disgusted by their antics. They have no respect for anyone else, so why should Al show them respect. With all they have they could be making a difference in this world I have a daughter Heidis age who is a full time grad student and also started her own non profit helping children with disabilities and that is without the money they have. Maybe if Heidi would stop crying and being insulted and actually watched herself to see why people feel the way they do, they could move on and help someone else. Fat chance.

I just want to say that Al did a great job! I absolutely can't stand these two creeps. This interview was definetly a ploy for attention, and when it backfired I was laughing! Unfortunately, there are several celebrity websites that are broadcasting Speidi's complaints, so I guess they got the attention they wanted afterall. I rarely put my two cents in but I felt the need to send my support your way. Al asked all the right questions and it was fun watching them squirm!

That had to be the softest soft-ball interview I've seen in ages. I love Al, but if it had been Keith Oelbermann or Joe Scarborough raking them over the coals, we would have seen some real dramatics. Someone probably should tell them that unless they actually do something of consequence in life before they start putting on such airs, they deserve every bit of the ridicule they get. Wisht hat this pair of vapid idiots would crawl back under the rock they emerged from.

Why does the media even waste their time on these two. The sooner they disappear from the limelight, the happier I will be. Please make them go away and don't give them any attention. Their behavior on "I'm a celebrity get me out of here" showed what they are really like. They didn't like Al's like of questioning because he had their number, lol.
