The Traitor and the Fighter by Alice Winters

Us: I want talk about the decision to vote out Kate. So it was just by chance that I got to really meet Andie and Michael first, and kind of locked them in first. I joined them in the seat where they were and my ticket was there. And it was just by luck, by chance, because they were sitting in my seat on the train. Us: I think you picked really good – what do we call them – “regular people” (laughs) to align with too.ĬF: Absolutely. I think with Stephenie and Rachel, those numbers, and then with Andie – because everybody trusted Andie – to have such a close alliance, they had to kind of trust me by default. Like you said, my name never even came up. Were you ever in danger? Did you ever feel like, “OK, I’m in trouble here,” or no?ĬF: No, not really. Us: I feel like the only time your name ever came up was in the beginning with Brandi and then Stephenie accidentally said it or whatever. I heard Stephenie several times saying, “No, it’s definitely not Cirie.” I’m like, “Yes (laughs)!”

I guess it’s just because we were just on the show together, so it definitely worked in my favor to have those two girls fighting for me.

It was an unspoken alliance with Stephenie, Rachel and I. Do you think being on Snake in the Grass together helped?ĬF: I think it totally helped to kind of seal up that alliance with me. I want to know: I feel like two of the people who knew just how dangerous you can be – Stephenie and Rachel – were also two of the people that trusted you the most. Us: You just play such an amazing social game. Us: Clearly they didn’t do anything about it!ĬF: I mean, what is there to do though (laughs)? Sharon, what is there to do?! I don’t think the Bravo people – they probably didn’t, but a lot of the civilian people did. Us: Finally! You can talk about it! I have to ask: Who on the show has actually watched you on Survivor because it seems like none of them based on how they played!ĬF: Michael.

It’s a weird feeling, like, finally! Almost like an exhale. It’s bizarre, like, I know that I won and everybody’s gonna see that I won, but I don’t know. I started binge-watching this at 5:00 a.m. How are you feeling this morning?!Ĭirie Fields: I didn’t sleep at all last night (laughs). Us Weekly: Congrats, Cirie! You played a masterful game.
