Survivor legend Cirie Fields told PEOPLE that she doesn’t regret her Survivor 50 finale vote, even though Boston Rob Mariano challenged her motivation.
In a June 4 interview with Parade, Boston Rob pontificated on whether Cirie and Ozzy Lusth’s explanations for voting for Aubry Bracco were “excuses.”
Boston Rob found it “interesting” that Cirie discussed Aubry playing “the middle” and still scoring the win. “Years ago, that would be considered being called a coattail rider. She rode someone’s coattails, and that was looked down upon, and now it’s being revered.”
“So, I wonder, is that something they actually revere, or is that the excuse they’re giving to be able to justify their vote? To say she played the middle really well, because they didn’t want to vote for Jonathan [Young], or they didn’t want to vote for Joe [Hunter], so they wanted to vote for Aubry. ‘What’s the excuse we can use for Aubry?’”
Cirie heard Boston Rob’s commentary, and she stood on business.
“I’ll be 56 years old in July,” began Cirie, who won season 1 of The Traitors US. “I don’t need excuses to justify anything I do or say.”
“Never have, never will. Period.”
