Spencer Duhm considered himself a superfan of Survivor and was thrilled to be cast on the 18th season of the show. Duhm was originally cast as a stand in, but jumped at the opportunity to join as one of the original members was unable to make it. He decided early not to let the contestants know that he was gay, as he thought others may have unfairly judged him.

"I put a lot of pressure on myself knowing that. I felt I should represent young fans. I know we have a lot of 18-, 19-, 20-year-old fans. It was our first chance to apply this year.
