Cirie Fields joked about getting a Jeff Probst tattoo on her body
Before Cirie Fields left to film Survivor 50: In the Hands of the Fans, she was part of a landmark season from an international version of the show, Australian Survivor: Australia v The World.
In August, Cirie was interviewed by Entertainment Weekly about filming that season under the watchful eye of Australian Survivor's host at that time, Jonathan LaPaglia. During that conversation, Cirie joked about getting Jeff Probst's name tattooed on her body above the names of her kids because she cares about the American Survivor host so much.
"You know, playing with Jeff for 20 years — I'm gonna get a Jeff tattoo right here over my kids' names over my heart because I truly, truly love Jeff," Fields joked.
Cirie made those comments about Jeff while discussing what it was like to play a version of Survivor that was hosted by Jonathan LaPaglia. After joking about the tattoo, Cirie compared her experiences under Jeff and Jonathan to enjoying different kinds of desserts.
"But playing with JLP is like… You know, I like a lot of desserts," she says. "I mean, obviously. [Laughs] But I love banana pudding, and I love red velvet cupcakes. Both for different reasons, right? I love the banana realness and the wafers in the banana pudding. And I love the cream cheese frosting with the moist red velvet cupcake. Can I compare the two? No, but I had a good time with both. And that's what I feel about him and Jeff. That's the comparison for me."
Cirie finished her remarks by making it clear that Jeff means more to her as a host, while also stating that she enjoyed interacting with both Survivor hosts.
"There is no real comparison, but I had a good time with both."
Survivor airs Wednesdays at 8/7c on CBS.
