While I don’t appreciate the type of behavior that “Speidi” is known for, I have to say Al could’ve been more professional with this interview. It did sound like he had some sort of personal vendetta against them. He should’ve just asked the questions, and let them respond, without interrupting or assuming. And I hate to say it, but based on the way the media depicts these two, I was surprised to see them defend themselves in such a calm and articulate manner.

I think if anyone is a jerk, it’s arrogant Shane. Yeah, they both sounded like they did a lot of research about the tabloids and mainly Shane sounded like he rehearsed…if he asks me about this, then I am going to come back with this….he sounded like an idiot. Al was right to go at them both like that and he actually had the balls to do it. Heidi says she’s a modern Mother Theresa? WTF? Which mother Theresa is she talking of? Does she have Mother Theresa mixed up with Jenna Jameson? The whore.

Arrogance never got anybody anywhere and they acted lke dummies, Al treated them the way they wanted to be treated. He was sharp about his questions and I think that if the producers were worried about what he was going to ask and what they wanted him to ask, then they would have stopped him ahead of time and told him to stick to these certain topics.

I think that Shane and Heidi deserve eachother and they’re going to fall as quickly as they got up there….they belong on the D List…because they are D-scusting..

I watched it on MTV… but I knew he’d do something slightly similar to that. ‘
I don’t know why everyone’s so suprised of thier behavior though… i mean what’d you expect from Speidi?
But anyways… yeah I do think Al was sorta trying to smudge thier behavior in thier faces. Tsk Tsk

Oh please. The deserve it totally. They are both idiots. I think Mrs Martinez above is Spencer because her arguement is silly much like everything else that comes out of these twos mouths. Things are only going to get worse for them because tides turn and people who tolerated them are now getting really sick of them.

Yes, I think Al Roker was a jerk. He was very unprofessional and trying to act like Matt Lauer. They are both jerks when they interview people. It was an uncomfortable interview to watch. I never watch the Today Show anyway. I think that Heidi and Spencer both reacted to Al’s rudeness in a very calm and professional and in control manner. Heidi and Spencer are appealing and entertaining and will become very successful. I think that Al was being racially bias because of the clip was of Spencer fighting with a black woman.

I don’t think he was a jerk at all. I think we’re all just used to such softcore journalism and kiss ass BS that we can’t stand to hear a real question being asked.

It’s a strange interview because Al Roker keeps implying that the contestants did something terrible which they should be ashamed of, but doesn’t make clear what.

surprisingly, i do feel that al was slightly out of line. i didn’t expect him to be so rude. heidi and spencer are definitely reality star snobs who we all love to hate, but al came across as if he had some kind of personal grudge against them that didn’t make sense…. where i expected AL to roll his eyes at the nonsense, instead HE seemed insistent on being the jerk.
