Spencer is a contestant from *Survivor: Panama*, *Survivor: Cagayan*, *Survivor: South Pacific* and *Survivor: Caramoan*.

He later returned as one of the sixteen veteran *Survivor* castaways as a housemate on Big Brother 1. Spencer was evicted ninth on Day 58, finishing in 8th place.

## Survivor: Panama

Spencer started *Survivor: Panama* on the blue Bayoneta tribe, where he was quickly placed in the minority with Beau and Peighton. When they had to attend the Triple Tribal Council, the trio voted for Sarah but Beau was voted out. Luckily for Peighton and Spencer in the minority, Bayoneta won the next three immunity challenges. At the Tribe Dissolve, Spencer was placed on the purple Casaya tribe along with Tison from his original tribe. He chose to appear non-threatening and wasn't approached by the dominant Viveros Alliance, leaving him in the minority with Catherine, Matthew, Natalia and Rachel. Spencer voted with this group at the next two tribal councils, though he lost Catherine and Natalia as they were eliminated.

On Day 18, Casaya lost immunity and was told that two people had to be voted out. Though Matthew was the first target, Spencer was approached by the Viveros Alliance so they could blindside Tison. He voted with them and was pleased that his plan to appeal non-threatening was working. After two more immunity challenge losses, Spencer became a crucial number for the majority and was responsible for voting out both Bianca and Lana. However, his position in the game was threatened again by the majority and he was blindsided by the loss of Rachel.

At this point, Spencer made the merge and continued to fly under the radar. He was approached by the Viveros Alliance once more and voted with almost the entire tribe in voting for Sarah. He became a number once again to this powerful group once they lost Katrina, and voted with them for Oliver. Spencer notices that Alexis and Erinn are being pandered by his alliance and considers flipping to gain personal power. Cody and Marina especially reassured Spencer that he was an important member of the group, and that Darcy was the next target. However, his wishy washy attitude to flipping concerned the Viveros Alliance and he was blindsided. At the Final Tribal Council, Spencer voted for Domenic to win the title of Sole Survivor because he did not directly lie to him the day he was being voted out like Marina did.

## Survivor: Cagayan

With a second time playing the game during *Survivor: Cagayan*, Spencer was originally placed on the green Luzon tribe, labelled the Brains. At the first tribal council, Richard was voted out instead of Lora for her usefulness. Luzon lost the next immunity challenge and someone had to go home. Spencer formed an alliance with Tison, hoping to vote put Katrina. However, she knew of this plan and asked her majority alliance to vote for Spencer. He was voted out, lasting 8 days.

### Voting History

## Survivor: South Pacific

Spencer returned for a third time during *Survivor: South Pacific*, originally on the red Savaii tribe. He was able to make more bonds with his tribe members, being saved during the pre-merge of the game due to more dangerous threats being left in the game. This left to the successful eliminations of Virgil, Alistair, Fawn and Joe. Making it to the merge, Spencer was forced to either play hard or be moved into the background by stronger players. The original Savaii alliance, including Spencer voted out and sent Lana, Gabriel and Cecilia to Redemption Island with their power. At this point, Charlie was paranoid about his place in the game, worrying his alliance.

The Savaii women blindsided Spencer and Charlie by sending Charlie to Redemption Island. Miles, a member of Upolu was then voted out. After Miles was eliminated, Joe won the final duel and returned to the game. Eager to exercise their power, the Savaii women, with the help of Joe and Jaymi voted out Spencer, making him the next jury member. At the Final Tribal Council, he voted for Jen to win the title of Sole Survivor.

## Survivor: Caramoan

Spencer returned for *Survivor: Caramoan* on the purple Bikal tribe, labelled the Favorites. At the first tribal council, he voted with the men for Bianca. However, she used a Hidden Immunity Idol, sending his ally Jack home. The women then blindsided Eileen for trying to jump ship to the men. At this point, the tribe was on a losing streak. When they lost the third time, the boys and girls voted against each other. Spencer once again voted for Bianca, but she used another idol, sending Oliver home.

At the tribe switch, Spencer was placed on the orange Gota tribe along with original members, Mitchell and Fawn. During this time, the tribe lost three consecutive challenges. The original favorites voted together for Ashton, Ellie and Lorenzo when they lost. They were all sent home, with the exclusion of Ashton by using his Hidden Immunity Idol, instead voting out Alyssa.

Spencer, despite the losses was able to make the merged tribe. Despite being a Favorite, Spencer decided to work with the minority of Fans from the Cool Kids Alliance. He was kept safe for the time being whilst the tribe voted out Mitchell. He was also out of the loop when Bianca flipped to work with the fans and blindsided Lea. At this point, it was blatant that Spencer was on the outs of the tribe and had little agency in the game. As an outsider, Spencer continued to work with the Fans. However, the Favorites ultimately had the majority and became the next member of the jury. At the Final Tribal Council, Spencer voted for the eventual winner, Bianca to win the title of Sole Survivor.

## Big Brother 1

In November 2020, Spencer competed on Big Brother 1. As part of the Backwards Week Twist, Spencer nominated Kurtis and Tiffany for the first eviction, but Gabriel and Lina were nominated instead. Richard won the first HOH competition and evicted Gabriel in order to protect his Outsider Alliance ally Lina. In Week 2, Spencer won the Time Warp immunity challenge and decided to share his immunity with Lea. Peighton became the next HOH and nominated *Survivor: The Australian Outback* alum Bella and Cherry. Spencer voted for Cherry as a former Sole Survivor, but the majority of the house evicted Bella in order to keep Cherry as a shield. Spencer kept a low profile in Week 3, where Ricardo nominated Kurtis and Peighton. Spencer voted to evict Kurtis, but replacement nominee Lina was evicted because of her connections to Priya and Richard.

After Priya became the Week 4 HOH, she decided to nominate Lea and Spencer for eviction. Ricardo then used the veto on Lea, so Spencer ended up sitting beside Alana on the block on eviction night. Luckily for him, Alana was evicted over Spencer because she had won two previous POV's. Spencer decided to lay low and focus on his relationships for a couple of weeks in order to ensure he would have the votes should he be nominated again. He unanimously voted with the house to evict his ally Lea in Week 5, voted to evict Peighton and Richard during the Week 6 Double Eviction and evicted Priya in Week 7 for being a strong social and strategic threat. In Week 8, Belle decided to split up two close pairs and nominated Tiffany and Tim for eviction. Ricardo didn't use the veto after winning the POV, but Tiffany was saved with a secret Black Hole Veto. In her replacement, Belle nominated Spencer as a pawn because she wanted Tim gone. However, Spencer didn't have the votes to stay and was evicted in a 3-2 vote. He became the fourth member of the jury and voted for Tiffany to win the season.
