With the exception of Millennials vs. Gen X, it’s fairly difficult for very young players to get on Survivor. There is always a rare one or two cast each year, but it takes an exceptionally grown up person to break through in the casting process. Spencer Bledsoe was the young gun on the Brains tribe in Survivor Cagayan, and compared to the others in his tribe, he may have been the most mature of the lot.

Having escaped the clutches of the cocky Miami Marlins president, imbecilic poker player and the rice-destroying astrophysicist, Spencer really came into his own when working with Kass and Tasha, playing a strong social and strategic gameplay from the bottom. His terrible start meant he could never secure safety and was sent home in fourth place.
