Trying to detect how many players are alive?

Currently, I have the game set so that every player has a "Spectator" value inside their player. What I'm trying to do is make it so that the game checks how many players are in the game. Sadly, I have no clue how to do this. I know a tiny bit about arrays and tables, but how do I make the game constantly check how many players are left in the game?

my current attempt:

while true do
	plrs = game.Players:GetPlayers()
	print(#plrs)
	for i=1, #plrs do
		if plrs[1].spect == true then
			table.remove(plrs[1])
		elseif plrs[2].spect == true then
			table.remove(plrs[2])
		elseif plrs[3].spect == true then
			table.remove(plrs[3])
		elseif plrs[4].spect == true then
			table.remove(plrs[4])
		elseif plrs[5].spect == true then
			table.remove(plrs[5])
		elseif plrs[6].spect == true then
			table.remove(plrs[6])
		elseif plrs[7].spect == true then
			table.remove(plrs[7])
		elseif plrs[8].spect == true then
			table.remove(plrs[8])
		elseif plrs[9].spect == true then
			table.remove(plrs[9])
		elseif plrs[10].spect == true then
			table.remove(plrs[10])
		end
	end
	wait(0.01)
end
