Well, Spencer speaks up about his profession and family life in Episode 2 of the show before taking part in a challenge. Spencer has to choose a cookie challenge symbol and make a decision that will affect his journey and the rest of the players in his line. He chooses the umbrella, the game’s most challenging shape.
Spencer became dizzy while tackling the challenge, making the stress almost unbearable to watch. Spencer believed that people would remember him because he ruined their chances of winning the game.
He eventually failed the challenge and was eliminated from the game, as would many of the others who remained, having to cut out the intricate shape without shattering the cookie. When the results were revealed, the number of players was lowered to 119, which meant that 69 people were eliminated from the challenge and the prize money was increased.

Reddit Reacts to Spencer Hawkins’ Elimination!
After Spencer Hawkins‘ tough decision, he was eliminated from Squid Game: The Challenge. While most contestants criticized him, viewers had exactly the opposite reaction. Taking to a Reddit discussion, one user wrote,
I feel SO horrible for Spencer, the guy who was pushed into choosing the umbrella. everyone was so mean to him- like he HAD to make a choice or die and the others wouldn’t listen to him. and then hearing people call him an idiot as they walk by- that’s just cruel. it’s a game show. don’t be a shit person to someone because of a result you don’t like
Similarly, another wrote,
Not one came up to him and asked him if he was ok. Not one, at least it wasn’t shown. I had hoped that someone would show some empathy but no… Humanity at its worst. Shame on them. Someone had to get the umbrella, at least they all had a chance. If everybody had acted like the two first groups there would be no one left in the game.
A third user wrote,
It’s such nonsense how hateful they were to him. He has no obligation to sacrifice himself for you and instead of manning up and getting ready for the tsk ahead, they chose to dump on him, total losers for behaving that way towards him.
