'Survivor' 2017 Cast: Can Cirie Fields Finally Take Home Victory In 'Game Changers'? [POLL, VIDEO]
Survivor legend Cirie Fields is back for her fourth season, hoping this will finally be her time in the sun.
Cirie is now one of only four castaways to play Survivor four times, alongside Rob Mariano, Rupert Boneham and Ozzy Lusth. Widely concerned one of the best players to never win, Cirie is hungry for the title and the $1 million that comes along with it. She is now one of 20 players competing in this spring's Survivor: Game Changers, and she feels more ready than ever.
The 45-year-old first played on season 12, Survivor: Panama, where she came in fourth place. Her journey from couch potato afraid of leaves to bonafide Survivor strategist was compelling to watch, and it was enough to bring her back for Survivor: Micronesia - Fans vs. Favorites.
Cirie's game in Survivor: Micronesia was even more impressive, knocking out targets left and right and helping form the Black Widow Brigade of women. She made it all the way to the Final 3 where a twist in the game led to her unfortunate downfall. Fellow alliance member Amanda Kimmel won the Final Immunity Challenge and chose to vote her out, with many saying she easily could have won if she made it to Final Tribal Council.
Survivor: Heroes vs. Villains was a different story. Cirie's reputation loomed large over her fellow Heroes and she was seen as too much of a strategist to take deep into the game. She was the fourth person voted out of the game, coming in 17th place.
It's been 14 seasons since Heroes vs. Villains and Cirie has a game plan for her fourth time around.
"I'll be less aggressive, less emotional, and more physically fit," she says in her CBS bio, for what she'll do differently in Game Changers. She also said that she has "matured mentally" and is "healthier, stronger, and in better shape."
Cirie is playing alongside two Survivor rivals from her past - J.T. Thomas and Ozzy - so she may have to watch her back, but many fans are hoping to get a full season of the self-proclaimed "gangsta in an Oprah suit."
Survivor: Game Changers premieres Wednesday, March 8 at 8/7c on CBS.
