Being a student, Spencer needed income to bear his expenses. He was looking for a quick fix and not for a job that might hinder his career.
CBS’s Survivor show was the perfect place for Bledsoe to find that quick fix. Given the 1 million dollar prize, this was a golden chance for Bledsoe to make it happen.
Spencer also joined the show to have a lifelong experience. However, the problem was that there were other contestants as well that were far more experienced and old in age than Spencer. Bledsoe has participated in two seasons of Survivor. Cagayan and Cambodia.
