Cirie Fields/Game Changers

Cirie Tiffany Fields is a contestant from .
While Cirie found herself on the outs at the start of Game Changers, a string of Immunity Challenge wins allowed her to make it to the merge where she began mentoring Michaela Bradshaw and controlling the game. Despite finding herself on the bottom after Sarah Lacina's defection, she managed to get back to the top after Sarah flipped back. Cirie managed to make it all the way to the final six, where a Legacy Advantage and a series of Hidden Immunity Idols were played at Tribal Council, making everyone except herself immune, thus resulting in her elimination despite receiving no votes against her all season.

Returning for Survivor: Game Changers, Cirie was initially placed on the Nuku tribe. On Day 1, she tried to make amends with Ozzy Lusth, who was still wary of her for her role in his blindside in . Seeing that Ozzy and J.T. Thomas, another player Cirie had a history with from their time on , were getting close, Cirie attempted to recruit allies against them, approaching Debbie Wanner, Sarah Lacina, and Zeke Smith, who were all wary of aligning with the majority's target. While it appeared that she was on the outs, Cirie was spared when Nuku won the first two challenges.
On Day 7, a Tribe Switch split the two tribes into three, and Cirie was sent to the new Tavua tribe to start from scratch, along with original Nuku tribemates Andrea Boehlke, Ozzy, Sarah, and Zeke, as well as the only original Mana member, Troyzan Robertson. There, Cirie and Ozzy finally reconciled and agreed to target Troyzan. However, the tribe managed to win the next three Immunity Challenges, avoiding Tribal Council. On Day 14, a second Tribe Switch occurred, where Tavua was abolished and Cirie was switched to the Mana tribe. Although the depleted tribe suffered a setback when they lost a Reward Challenge for pizza on Day 17, the tribe rebounded, winning the last two tribal Immunity Challenges.
After the tribes merged into the Maku Maku tribe on Day 19, Michaela Bradshaw, who was the main target, approached Cirie and told her that she wanted them to be the first pair of African-American women to make it to the end, and Cirie began mentoring her. With both alliances agreeing to split their votes between outsiders Michaela and Hali Ford, Cirie and Zeke began campaigning for Michaela to stay. At Tribal Council, her plan worked as Hali was voted out. The following day, Cirie and Andrea contemplate targeting Brad Culpepper and Sierra Dawn Thomas for taking charge of the previous night's vote. However, Zeke was not pleased by this, wanting to be the one to call the shots within the Tavua Alliance, and went to Sierra to propose targeting Andrea. After Tai Trang won the next Immunity Challenge, Sierra informed Cirie of Zeke's plan, and the Tavua Alliance swiftly targeted him. At Tribal Council, however, Sarah flipped on the alliance and Debbie used her Extra Vote to ensure Ozzy's elimination.
On Day 25, Cirie attempted to convince Sarah to turn on the Power Six alliance. When Troyzan won immunity, Sarah felt excluded from the decision-making within the Power Six and ended up flipping, blindsiding Debbie at Tribal Council. Although back in the majority, Cirie and Andrea still did not trust Zeke and discussed betraying him with Sarah, who objected to the plan. To secure Cirie's trust, Sarah told Cirie about her Vote Steal advantage. When Andrea won the next Immunity Challenge, she led the charge to take Zeke out. Still, Michaela and Sarah remained skeptical of the plan, fearing that this would give the remnants of the Power Six a chance to regain the majority. At Tribal Council, however, the two joined the rest of the Tavua Alliance in sending Zeke to the jury.
The next day, Cirie recruited Tai to the alliance after his allies turned on him the night before. The next day, the Loved Ones Challenge took place and Cirie's youngest son, Jared, showed up. The team of Andrea, Brad, and Aubry Bracco won the challenge and chose Cirie and Sarah, along with their loved ones, to accompany them on the barbecue. After Brad won immunity, the alliance voted Sierra out at Tribal Council. After Tribal Council, Cirie and Andrea were suspicious of Sarah's reaction after Sierra's elimination, not knowing that it was a ruse on Sarah's part to ensure that she was the recipient of Sierra's Legacy Advantage. When Aubry won immunity Day 33, she pushed the alliance to vote out Brad, though Andrea wanted to eliminate Sarah. Cirie, wanting to keep Sarah in the game as a bigger target than herself, talked to Sarah about betraying Andrea that night. Cirie's plan worked as Andrea was blindsided.
Back at camp, Aubry, who was left out of the plan, was consoled by Tai. Cirie noted Tai's ability to emotionally connect with others, worrying that this could make him a threat. When Brad won immunity on Day 35, Tai told Aubry that he wanted to target Sarah, but Aubry relayed Tai's plan to Cirie, who later told Sarah. Sarah, skeptical about Tai's betrayal, gave Cirie her Vote Steal as a sign of trust right before Tribal Council, which Cirie promised to return to Sarah after that night as Sarah just wanted Cirie to "hold on to" the advantage as a favor. However, Cirie considered using it to save Sarah and eliminate Tai. At Tribal Council, Cirie, without having time to read the rules of the advantage, tried to use the vote stealer to steal Sarah's vote with the intention of voting against Tai twice, but Sarah revealed that the advantage was non-transferable and reclaimed the advantage from Cirie. In the ensuing scramble, Sarah used her advantage to steal Tai's vote. Scheming with outsiders Brad and Troyzan, the three targeted Cirie's number one ally, Michaela, who was subsequently blindsided. 
After returning from Tribal Council, Sarah confronted Cirie about using her advantage, but Cirie told her she did that in order to save her from Tai who was coming after her. After confirming that Tai was indeed going after her, she apologized to Cirie. When Brad again won immunity on Day 36, he pressured Tai into giving him one of his Hidden Immunity Idols and targeting Aubry that night. Tai, put off by Brad's attitude, conspires with Aubry and Cirie. At Tribal Council, Cirie, Aubry, and Tai voted against Sarah; Sarah and Troyzan voted for Tai; and Brad voted for Aubry. Tai played his idols on himself and Aubry, while Sarah played her immunity-granting Legacy Advantage, which prompted Troyzan to play his own idol. As Cirie was the only player left without immunity, she was automatically eliminated despite receiving no votes against her. When snuffing her torch, host Jeff Probst has Cirie say his famous trademark line "the tribe has spoken", and everybody claps in respect, including the jury and the live studio audience.
At the Final Tribal Council, Cirie told Brad that it appeared that Sierra was the brains behind their alliance, and challenged him to prove the jury wrong; she also questioned Troyzan's lack of leadership and decision making. In the end, she voted for Sarah to win, which she did in a 7-3-0 vote over Brad and Troyzan.

Voted forSole Survivor	colspan="2" 	
 In , Sarah used a Legacy Advantage, negating Cirie's vote against her. Also, Aubry, Tai, and Troyzan each used Hidden Immunity Idols and negated all the votes cast at Tribal Council. Because of this and Brad possessing individual immunity, Cirie was the only person left who was not immune, automatically eliminating her from the game.</tabber>
