American reality television star Cirie Fields rose to fame after appearing on the 2006 season of CBS’ top show Survivor: Panama. Fields is hailed as one of the greatest Survivor contestants of all time, despite never winning.
Fields, who also works as a nurse, hails from New Jersey; her career before Survivor saw her working as a telemarketer and surgical instrumentalist, before earning her nursing degree. In 2006, Fields’ life changed forever when she decided to embark on an adventure.
Fields first caught America’s attention in 2006 when she placed fourth in Survivor: Panama. While she didn’t win, Fields received the audience’s vote for the most popular participant of the season. Two years after her first television appearance, Fields returned to screens to compete in Survivor: Micronesia – Fans vs. Favorites, which saw contestants from previous series’ return to compete again. Fields beat her ranking from the Panama season, placing third. In 2010, she made her third appearance, joining the cast of Survivor: Heroes vs. Villians. Fields ultimately placed seventeenth. Her most recent Survivor appearance was in 2017, when she finished sixth in Survivor: Game Changers.
