Survivor 50 continues to keep viewers and the players on their toes. During the most recent episode, MrBeast blew the contestants’ minds. And after a chaotic tribal council, Stephenie LaGrossa’s torch was snuffed. For Stephenie, it all came back to Cirie Fields and the wild twist that MrBeast put into play. His reputation certainly preceded him.
Stephenie advised Cirie it would be “dumb” to take her out
Season 50 has been known for its shocking twists. A twist named after Jimmy Fallon forced Christian Hubicki to write down his own name. And at tribal, one player had to flip a coin and call it. If they made the right call, they were safe and received an immunity idol. Plus, the prize money would double to $2 million. However, if they were wrong, they would immediately go home, and the money would stay the same. Fortunately, Rick Devens made the correct call.
Following her elimination, Stephenie discussed an unaired conversation with Cirie. “I was basically like, ‘Listen, if you take me out, that’s going to be the dumbest thing you’ll ever do.’ Because if you take me out, you might be going next,” Stephenie told Page Six. “I’m a shield for you. You know I’m loyal to you. If I try to take you out, that would not be a good plan because we’re working together.”
In addition, Stephenie and Cirie spoke ahead of filming for Season 50. “We stick together to the end as far as we can, and let’s just get there, and then we’ll figure it out,” Stephenie said, reflecting on their conversation. Reportedly, Cirie called Stephenie her “family.”
“So when I gave her my word, I meant it one thousand percent. So it was a little disheartening,” Stephenie admitted. She added that Cirie is “a master manipulator” who “plays a good game.”
She continued, “She really should be a lawyer. She can spin any scenario, and she’s very smart.” The Survivor vet added, “She got me out.”
Survivor continues on CBS every Wednesday at 8/7c. It is available to stream on Paramount+.
