Biography Spencer Duhm (19) Hometown: Lakeland, Fla. Occupation: Student Soon to see his teenage years in the rear-view mirror, Spencer Duhm is ready to look forward to the journey ahead of him. A fan of SURVIVOR since day one, which began when he was still in grade school, Spencer can practically do a Castaway roll-call all the way from SURVIVOR: Borneo. His fanaticism will give him a built-in edge that can make a direct contribution to how far he goes in this game. Born and raised in Lakeland, Florida and currently a student at the University of Florida, Spencer majors in telecommunications and minors in business and European union studies. Aside from being the recruitment chair for his UF crew team, where he also rows competitively, Spencer is a huge sports fan. Involved in myriad athletic activities since age 7, Spencer has developed a strong competitive streak and determination to achieve success. Rooting for his college Gators or beloved Cubs familiarized him with all of the peaks and valleys associated with being a contender, which may help him navigate the ups and downs associated with castaway life. With a resume like his, it’s no surprise that this self-professed lover of "water cooler gossip" can't stand slow-talkers or laziness and is very ambitious and very outgoing. He is even willing to face his fear of heights for one million dollars but there is one fear that he refuses to face. When asked what he would not do for a million dollars he responded, "Snakes in general, I just don’t do snakes." This young, goal-oriented man has been presented with his childhood dream of competing on his favorite reality show and truly feels that he has what it takes to become the next sole SURVIVOR . Spencer is a gay, single man and currently resides in Gainesville, Fla. His birthday is December 20.

"Built-in edge?" Seeing the mistakes of others and avoiding the same mistakes on your own part can be very different things! However, I just wanted to hug him when I saw his picture, so I wish him well!

Spencer was the 19 yo whom was spilled to us indirectly before CBS was ready. I guess he's not going to talk about being gay at the beginning and come out to his alliance/closer mates later. It's not going to be a shock to his family as some of us seemed to lket to believe. Whew! That's a good thing in my book! From one of his earlier interviews and today's Reality Blurred, it's no longer a secret he was a replacement. The question in my head: Is he replacing some one his age or some one older? (Posters said there's a shortage of older male player this season.)

I came across another locale papers interview, will find it later. The funny thing is that, Spencer did not talk about being an alternate any more. Maybe EPMB and the potential 5M liability suit got to him, I do hope Jeff might talk about it tonight, gives the castaway who had to be removed for medical reason a shot. OR at least let us know what went wrong, ....

BTW, it's only important to me since there's talk that Ben could have been bitten by the scorpion to get that sickly look. My thought has always been that, Spencer went as an alternate to replace the castaway whom was bitten by the scorpion ...

If he can't stand slow talkers wonder how he and JT are going to get along.

Some sites are claiming he is dating Todd the winner from Survivor China. I am not sure how accurate the info is. The url is: http://www.towleroad.com/2009/03/survivor-winner-todd-herzog-dating-tocantins-spencer-duhm.html

If you read Jeff's latest blog (for ep 5) you can put all the conspiracy theories to rest. Spencer was brought along from the beginning as an alternate. And the reason he was brought in was because another contestant didn't pass the final physical.
