Cecilia is a contestant from *Survivor: Micronesia*, *Survivor: South Pacific* and *Survivor: India*.

She later returned as one of the sixteen veteran *Survivor* castaways as a housemate on *Big Brother 2*. Cecilia was evicted fifth on Day 37, finishing in 12th place.

## Survivor: Micronesia

Cecilia began *Survivor: Micronesia* on the orange Airai tribe, originally labelled the 'Fans'. At the beginning of the game, the tribe was divided based on gender. However, Lily managed to bring in Tristan so that the Airai Women's Alliance would have the numbers. At their first tribal council on Day 6, this alliance had the numbers and Zac was voted out. Belle, Cecilia, Emma and Kaylee were then starting to notice that a strong relationship had formed between Lily and Tristan. In order to ensure that Lily would rely on them completely and to have the complete majority over the minority of men on Airai, the girls forced Lily to blindside Tristan at their second tribal council on Day 8.

At the tribe switch, Cecilia was switched to the purple Malakal tribe along with original members, Gloss, Belle and Lily. At the tribes first loss, the original Palau members of Xenia, Ricardo and Wyatt stuck together and with the help of Cecilia, they voted out Lily. Malakal won two of the four immunity challenges and were at an advantage with the unfortunate evacuation of Kaylee. On Day 19, both tribes had to send someone home. The tight foursome banded together once more and voted off Belle.

Cecilia was then able to make it to the merge with her new alliance from Malakal. At the first tribal council, the five-some voted out Gloss. The alliance began to show cracks and Arthur was voted out. At the next tribal council, the majority of the tribe banded together and planned on blindsiding Xenia. However, she used a Hidden Immunity Idol and Rachel was voted out. After that vote, Cecilia, Xenia and Jaclyn made a tight alliance. Together, they voted out Katniss, Wyatt, Ricardo and Emma.

By the Final Four, Cecilia and Xenia decided they wanted to go to the Final Tribal Council with each other and made a Final Two deal. At tribal council, the duo and Brendan blindsided Jaclyn. Cecilia then won the final immunity challenge. Knowing that the votes might be close between the two, Cecilia had to blindside Xenia to secure the win. At the Final Tribal Council, the jury respected Cecilia's brutal move and believed she played a better game than Brendan. She was given the title of Sole Survivor after earning all nine jury votes from Gloss, Arthur, Rachel, Katniss, Wyatt, Ricardo, Emma, Jaclyn and Xenia.

## Survivor: South Pacific

Cecilia then competed on *Survivor: South Pacific*, originally on the blue Upolu tribe. After a shocking Medical Evacuation, the Upolu tribe lost two tribal councils and voted out strong female competitors, Danielle and Lana. The tribe then went on an immunity streak, winning the next three challenges. When they lost the next challenges, Karina was voted out for being lazy, Dave was sent home for his lack of gameplay and Peighton was voted out for being one of the only women left.

At this point, Cecilia made the merge. The original Savaii tribe banded together, whereas Upolu wanted to go their separate ways. Lana and Gabriel were the first to be sent to Redemption Island, followed shortly by Cecilia. In her first duel, she competed against Lana, Gabriel and Joe where the first two to finish would continue, with Cecilia being one of them. At the final duel of the season, Cecilia was not able to make it back into the game and became the first member of the jury. At the Final Tribal Council, she voted for Jen to win the title of Sole Survivor.

## Survivor: India

Cecilia, along with the former Sole Survivors then competed in *Survivor: India* and she was originally placed on the purple Vishnu tribe. She formed an alliance early on with Karleigh, Katie, Grayson and Harry. At the first two Tripl Tribal Councils on Days 3 and 6, the alliance came together and voted out Natalia before unanimously sending home Joe.

At the tribe dissolve, Cecilia remained on Vishnu along with her original members Nick and Grayson. Cecilia voted with the majority in voting out Darcy when they lost their first immunity challenge. At this point, the castaways who were not originally on Shiva banded together to form an alliance. This caused the consecutive eliminations of Blue Jay, Jen and Alexys, to which Cecilia helped vote out Alexys. At their next loss, Bianca could sense Cecilia wanting to play with the other tribe. When they lost the next immunity challenge, Bianca and her small alliance voted out Cecilia after 20 days.

## Big Brother 2

In August 2021, Cecilia entered the Big Brother 2 house with the biggest reputation. She was the only *Survivor* winner on the cast and was reunited with Brendan, who she won against. Cecilia was limited in her choice of allies as a result of this reputation, though she found herself in the Leftovers Alliance with Gianni, Nick and Sarge. HOH Lacey nominated Cecilia beside Nick in Week 1, but Nick was evicted after she saved herself with the POV. She was nominated again in Week 2 by Clarence, though Chord used the POV on Cecilia and brought her into the Strong Alliance with Clarence and Sam. Cecilia was protected in Week 3 when her ally Sarge was the HOH, though Kelley hastily used her in Week 4 as a replacement nominee after promising not to. Luckily for Cecilia, the Strong Alliance controlled the house and convinced the majority to instead evict Noel. When she was used as a replacement nominee once again in Week 5 by Hillary, Cecilia was confident her allies would vote to evict Hannah. However, Sam secretly switched her vote to protect Hannah and Cecilia was evicted in a 5-4 vote.
