He’s just playing nice with the others to get as far as possible in the competition

In light of the “Big Brother 15” scandal around GinaMarie Zimmerman and Aaryn Gries, whom fans at home heard making homophobic and racist comments thanks to the online feed, another housemate is being put on the hot seat: Spencer Clawson.

He too is being accused of bigotry, after he was heard praising Hitler, speaking derogatively of the gays, and always often speaking of (and to) women using the “B-word” and the “C-word.”

However, his mother tells TMZ that it’s all an act because he’s just trying to fit in, so that he can get as far into the competition as possible.

“Spencer really is a great guy. This is not a guy that’s a bigot or a racist. And he’s not that way at home. He's a great guy,” she says.

“If you're in a group, you go along with the group talk and that is what is happening with him. This is a reality show. The purpose of the show is scheming behind each other's backs,” Spencer’s mom continues.

Above is Spencer, for those who haven’t tuned in yet for “BB15.”
