Well, that alliance is officially dead.
After years of playing together across multiple seasons of Survivor and other reality appearances, Stephenie LaGrossa Kendrick just revealed she and Cirie Fields haven’t spoken in months — and it’s not exactly a mutual “we drifted apart” situation.
Speaking on a recent podcast following her Survivor 50 elimination, Stephenie keeps it blunt. The two only talked briefly during premiere week — and that’s it. Since then? Silence.
And once she starts explaining why, it becomes clear this isn’t just post-show distance. It’s personal.
Stephenie says she felt completely blindsided by Cirie’s gameplay, especially after what she describes as repeated pre-game conversations and promises. From her perspective, the trust was one-sided from the start.
“I never gave you a reason not to trust me,” Stephenie says, pointing to what she believed was unwavering loyalty throughout the game.
But according to her, Cirie had already made up her mind. Stephenie claims Cirie entered the season with no real intention of working with her — despite their long history and supposed alliance.
That disconnect becomes a turning point, especially when Cirie pivots and aligns elsewhere, ultimately contributing to Stephenie’s elimination.
The fallout isn’t just strategic. It lingers.
Even after filming wrapped, there’s been no reconciliation, no post-game debrief, not even casual check-ins. For two players who’ve shared multiple reality experiences — including Survivor, The Traitors, and beyond — that silence speaks louder than any Tribal Council vote.
Back on the podcast, the hosts don’t ignore the elephant in the room. They point out that Stephenie has had her fair share of clashes with other players in the past, suggesting this might be part of a larger pattern. Still, even they admit the situation feels different given how deep her history with Cirie runs.
Because this isn’t just another broken alliance.
It’s a reality TV friendship that didn’t survive the game — or the aftermath.
