Survivor 50’s Cirie Fields Shares How the Show Impacted Her Parenting

And while Cirie—who previously appeared on Panama (season 12), Micronesia (season 16), Heroes vs. Villains (season 20) and Game Changers (season 34)—allowed her kids to learn from her time on the show, she admitted that she’s learned just as much.

“Being a part of the Survivor franchise has shown me depths that I didn't know existed inside this caterpillar that has now turned into a butterfly,” she explained. "It forces you to see your flaws. It forces you to push beyond realms you even knew existed within you. And I always get something new.” 

Now that the Traitors winner has returned from filming Survivor 50: In the Hands of the Fans—which premiered Feb. 25, with new episodes airing Wednesdays on CBS—she isn’t limiting herself on what the future holds.

“There's so many things on my bucket list that I still have to do,” she shared. “I want to skydive, I want to [climb] Mount Kilimanjaro, you name it. Nothing's out of my reach now, and that's what Survivor taught me.” 

Cirie concluded, “The things that I thought were out of my reach and that I was not capable of doing, that list, I burned that 20 years ago because now I know that anything is possible.”

Survivor 50: In the Hands of the Fans airs Wednesdays on CBS. Of course, Cirie isn’t the only Survivor legend who returned for season 50. Read on to see who else is part of the milestone season’s cast.
