Cirie Fields on Survivor
Cirie Fields has played Survivor four times! The show's host, Jeff Probst, has even praised her. He said she was a "couch potato" who decided to get up and live an amazing adventure.
Survivor: Panama Journey
Cirie first appeared on Survivor: Panama — Exile Island in 2006. She was part of the tribe with the oldest women. Even though she was seen as one of the physically weaker players, she used her great social skills to stay in the game. She convinced her tribemates to vote out other players instead of her.
Cirie made it all the way to the final four. In a special challenge, she had to make a fire against another player, Danielle DiLorenzo. The first person to burn through a rope with their fire would win. Cirie lost this challenge and was sent home, finishing in fourth place. She was proud of how far she had come. At the end of the season, viewers voted her the most popular player, and she won a new truck!
Survivor: Micronesia Return
Two years later, Cirie returned for Survivor: Micronesia — Fans vs. Favorites in 2008. She was on the "Favorites" tribe, made up of returning players. Cirie quickly became part of a strong all-female alliance called the "Black Widow Brigade." This group was known for its clever plans and surprising moves.
One of their most famous moves was tricking another player, Erik Reichenbach, into giving up his immunity necklace. Immunity means you can't be voted out. Cirie helped convince Erik that if he gave his necklace away, he would earn the jury's trust. He fell for the trick, gave up his immunity, and was then voted out!
Cirie made it to the final three, but she was seen as a huge threat to win. The player who won the final immunity challenge, Amanda Kimmel, decided to take Parvati Shallow to the very end instead of Cirie. Cirie finished in third place.
Survivor: Heroes vs. Villains
In 2010, Cirie played Survivor for a third time on Heroes vs. Villains. She was on the "Heroes" tribe. Unfortunately, she was targeted early in the game by other strong players. She was voted out in Episode Four, finishing 17th. This was a tough season for her, as she left much earlier than in her previous games.
Survivor: Game Changers
Cirie's fourth time playing was in 2017 on Survivor: Game Changers. She was the first woman to play Survivor four times! She was also the only player that season to be on four different tribes and made it to the merge without ever going to Tribal Council.
In a very unusual moment, Cirie was eliminated from the game without receiving a single vote against her. This happened because several other players used hidden immunity idols or advantages. Cirie was the only one left without immunity, so she was automatically eliminated by default. Even though she didn't win, the jury members gave her a standing ovation as she left, showing how much they respected her. She finished in sixth place.
Future Survivor Appearance
Cirie is set to appear on Australian Survivor: Australia v The World in 2025, representing the USA. This will be her fifth time playing Survivor!
Cirie's Survivor Legacy
Cirie Fields is widely known as one of the best Survivor players who never won the title of "Sole Survivor." Many past winners of the show have said she is the best player to have never won. She has played the game for a total of 121 days, which is one of the longest times any player has spent on Survivor.
Big Brother Adventure
In 2023, Cirie joined the cast of Big Brother 25 alongside her son, Jared. She was the first former Survivor player to compete on Big Brother. She played a strong social game and made it very far, finishing in fifth place.
Other TV Appearances

In 2023, Cirie competed on The Traitors on Peacock. She was chosen to be a "Traitor" and managed to trick the other contestants throughout the game. In the end, she was the only Traitor left, and she won the entire $250,000 prize!
