Spectator is more like another dimension of class than an actual class inofitself. You see, as a spectator is not playing the game per se they are not one set class, but at all times have the option of joining a team and becoming a class. In essence, Spectator is a quantum state - the "random button" personified if you may. Therefore, it is not its own class due to it already being all of the current playable 9 classes.
Similarly, the Announcer isn't a class either. She is a character, albeit nothing more than a voice, but you can't actually play as the announcer - so she shouldn't be counted as a class.
That just leaves Civilian.
Mayhaps this clue is telling us what Valve is thinking about for their postponed TF2 update then, mmmmmm? (speaking of TF2 game types... any y'all remember that "hunted" style gameplay? I kinda miss that.)

- Location: In her burrow. Drinking Tea. Earl Grey. Hot.
Strangely enough, I was wondering about more classes, including:
Marksman: The more accurate the shot, the more damage delt. Head and heart shots are nearly fatal. Usually carries some old pistols and looks a bit like Jamie Hienaman in cowboy getup.
Mad Scientist: This I think is more readily the wildcard, and I had more thought into this. Looks like Albert Einstein on a good hair day, possibly dyed team colors, with labcoat and goggles on forehead. Labcoat is team color, with ether yellow "MAD SCIENTIST UNION 3.14" on red or white "MAD SCIENTIST UNION 42" on blue. A standard taunt/reaction would be the Evil Mad Scientist Laugh, switched up with "SCIENCE!"
Primary weapon is a plasma rifle/cannon - splash damage anyone? Taunts with it could be the Schlock Mercenary style Ominous Hum. "Meet my little friend!"
Secondary weapon is a Portal knockoff, but carried like the Heavy's chaingun. Fires off like it too. "Do you want to take a trip TO HELL?!?"
Meile weapon would be a plasma sword (closer to Gundam than Star Wars). "NO! FRICKIN! WOOKIES! GOT IT?!?"
I wonder... "GOD?!? WHAT GOD?!? THERE IS ONLY SCIENCE!" "I'm on fire AGAIN!" "MEDIC!" "Thank you, fellow man of science!" "Whoa, teleportation give me the tingles!" "Got summed back up to zero, eh boopie?" "Very good data out of this experiment!" "What the **** happened with this trial run?!?" "That just doesn't make logical sense." "I'm going to donate your body, FOR SCIENCE!"

There simply is not another stereotype that isn't already covered by these nine classes. Wildcard is not a stereotype nor qualifies as to have its own class - the concept infringes too much on a few other classes to ever be considered to get its own.
Also, consider the era that TF2 takes place in - the time, the premise, the situations, and the weapons. The only weapon that is missing is the assault rifle, but perhaps that weapon is too advanced technology for the era.
