Cirie Fields was in a position to final 93 days within the Massive Brother home, which is kind of an achievement. It wasn’t straightforward, although, and she or he admitted to Julie Chen Moonves upon exiting that the CBS collection was more durable than Survivor. It was a bit stunning to listen to, so CinemaBlend needed to know in what methods enjoying Massive Brother threw her off her recreation.
CinemaBlend has been watching Massive Brother on-line with our Paramount+ subscription, and we had a chance to submit questions as a part of a press pool for Cirie. I requested the most recent evicted houseguest if enjoying Massive Brother made a few of the normal social techniques she utilized in exhibits like The Traitors and Survivor much less efficient. She confirmed this recreation was completely different in a single key approach and it threw her off. She mentioned:
I believe the sharing of data and folks not with the ability to maintain secrets and techniques [affected me]. Like, I’m used to alliances protecting the knowledge inside the alliance except there’s infighting. In Massive Brother there’s no want for–there doesn’t need to be infighting and folks will nonetheless inform all the things. Even your alliance members, which is loopy to me. I’m from the old-fashioned the place unfastened lips sink ships. So for them to speak as a lot as they did, that type of threw me off.
Cirie is used to enjoying a recreation straight out of the Survivor playbook, nevertheless it hinged on the belief that allies would not be blabbing about their plans to others. Contestants can, after all, attempt to keep quiet and maintain to themselves, however viewers know all too effectively that may solely make them seem extra suspicious. The previous Survivor contestant wasn’t ready for the quantity of data and the way it traveled round the home, even from her closest allies.
To Cirie’s credit score, she dealt with a lot of that gracefully. Her son Jared Fields might’ve broken their recreation early on by telling his showmance associate, Blue Kim, about their connection. Fortunately, Blue saved loyal to Jared, and she or he did not reveal the key, which I am not shocked by now, contemplating she will not clarify the true that means of “Kitty kitty purr, boots down.”
Regardless of that and slowly shedding all of her closest allies as the sport went on, Cirie nonetheless managed to claw her method to the Ultimate 5. Sadly, Matt Klotz’s Week 13 Head of Family was her undoing, as he had a stronger alliance with Jag Bains and Bowie Jane. He additionally had little energy to affect Cirie lasting one other week after Jag captured a clutch Week 13 record-tying veto, so it was off to the jury home for the Survivor legend.
Nonetheless, who would’ve thought one of the crucial identified actuality present gamers of all time would final so lengthy in Massive Brother? I assumed she’d be evicted inside the first couple of weeks, so it is a marvel she made it up to now. It is a disgrace it is perhaps the one time followers see it occur, although, as Cirie did not give the vibe she’s seeking to attempt once more on eviction evening.
Cirie could also be within the jury home, however she’ll nonetheless play an enormous half in deciding the winner of Massive Brother Season 25. Tune into the ultimate week of the sport on the 2023 TV schedule, as all of us ponder who deserves to win and who might make a compelling case within the late levels and win all of it.
