Did Spencer Pratt really just decide that reality TV stardom wasn’t enough and now he’s coming for Karen Bass’s job as Los Angeles mayor? Girl, YES. And honestly, we’re living for the absolute chaos of it all.
Let’s set the scene: the June 2 primary came and went, with incumbent Mayor Karen Bass advancing to the November 3 general election like the seasoned politician she is. But plot twist—her potential opponents included none other than Spencer Pratt, the same guy who once thought wearing a 47-pound crystal-encrusted jacket was a personality trait. That’s right, the king of The Hills delusion decided Los Angeles needed his particular brand of visionary leadership. Because apparently, running a major metropolitan city is basically the same as managing a reality TV villain edit.
Spencer has been yammering about his mayoral ambitions, positioning himself as some sort of outsider who could shake things up in City Hall. Honey, the only thing you’ve ever shaken up is a margarita pitcher on a Cabo vacation. His opponent, City Councilwoman Nithya Raman, probably had to do a double-take when she heard Spencer was actually throwing his designer-clad hat into the ring. We’re talking about a man whose biggest accomplishment is convincing people to watch him argue with his wife on television for over a decade.
The internet has absolutely LOST IT over this announcement. Twitter practically exploded with memes comparing Spencer’s political platform to his infamous crystal-wearing era. One fan tweeted, “If Spencer becomes mayor, I’m moving to Venus,” while another simply wrote, “LA we need to talk about our choices.” Even loyal Spencer stans were like, “Babe, maybe just stick to podcast appearances?”
What’s truly hilarious is that Spencer seems genuinely convinced he has something valuable to contribute to LA politics. The delusion is not just a river in Egypt, honey—it’s a full-blown tsunami. We’re not saying he doesn’t care about the city, but we ARE saying that his qualifications basically amount to “appeared on reality TV” and “owns several luxury homes here.”
The real question isn’t whether Spencer can win—spoiler alert, he can’t—but rather, what’s next? Running for governor? President? A spot on the Supreme Court? At this point, nothing would surprise us.
What do you think? A) Spencer should stick to reality TV, or B) He should absolutely pursue politics and give us the content we deserve?
