Boston Rob Calls Out Cirie Fields, Others Over Survivor 50 Vote
Boston Rob and Cirie Fields are both legends in the Survivor reality show. They’ve never competed in the same season, but have a friendly rivalry going on. However, Boston Rob took the rivalry a little too far with his thoughts on her Survivor 50 vote.
During an interview with Parade, Boston Rob questioned if Cirie Fields and Ozzy Lusth’s reasons for voting for winner Aubry Bracco were “excuses.”
“[Aubry] rode someone’s coattails, and that was looked down upon, and now it’s being revered,” Boston Rob said. “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.”
Boston Rob didn’t compete on Survivor 50 because he thought his journey on the show was done after five appearances.

Aubry Bracco won Survivor 50 on an 8-3-0 jury vote and took home the $2 million prize. Fans voted Cirie Fields as the winner of the Sia Fan Favorite prize of $100,000. PEOPLE magazine caught up with her at the Tribeca Festival’s Survivor 50th Season Anniversary Panel over the weekend and asked her to address Boston Rob’s comments.
“I’ll be 56 years old in July. I don’t need excuses to justify anything I do or say. Never have, never will. Period,” she said. Cirie Fields came in 6th place on Survivor 50 and called it an “awesome” experience, despite Boston Rob’s criticism.
