Originally from Blood vs. Water, Ciera is known for being the only contestant to vote out her own loved one, and for flipping from the majority alliance, which caused the second rock drawing tiebreaker in Survivor history. She was voted out at the final five for being a threat to win.

When she returned for Cambodia, she fought her way from the bottom post-merge and managed to successfully break up the majority alliance, and helped to orchestrate two blindsides before being taken out when Jeremy Collins played his idol on the target Stephen Fishbach.

Ciera played for a third time in Game Changers. Placed on the Mana tribe, she over-strategized too early into the game, which made her tribe uncomfortable. This resulted in her becoming the first boot of the season.

Blood vs. Water
Ciera entered the game with her mother, Laura Morett. She was placed on the Tadhana tribe with the other loved ones of the returning players. Ciera formed a friendship with Katie Collins, and the two always seemed to be in danger of elimination on pre-swap Tadhana. However, they survived and made it to the merge unscathed.

After Ciera's mom, Laura, returned from Redemption Island and rejoined her at the merge, Ciera and Laura allied with Tyson Apostol, Gervase Peterson, Monica Culpepper, Hayden Moss, and Caleb Bankston to counter the strong couples alliance made of Aras Baskauskas, Vytas Baskauskas, Tina Wesson, and her former ally Katie. The alliance of seven successfully voted out Aras, Vytas, and Tina. Then, Ciera made the tough decision to vote out her own mother in order to prevent the two of them being seen as threats and eliminated one after the other. She then allied with Tyson, Gervase, and Monica to vote off Caleb, rather than side with the former Tadhana tribe.

At the final six Tribal Council, Hayden made it clear to Ciera that she was number four in the alliance she was in, and that she should take a risk and draw rocks. She decided to risk her game, and drew rocks with Katie and Tyson. Unfortunately for her, her ally Katie chose the wrong rock and was promptly eliminated. Ciera won the next Immunity Challenge, saving herself temporarily. Hayden was sent to Redemption Island instead of her, and Tina returned and became her closest ally. The two tried to convince Monica to flip on her alliance and go the final three, but to no avail. Ciera was voted out over Tina for being a bigger threat, placing 5th overall.

At the Final Tribal Council, Ciera voted for Tyson to win the game.

Game Changers
Ciera was placed on the Mana tribe. Early on in the game, she began to play hard and told some of her other tribemates that she wanted to break the bond between Caleb and Tony by splitting votes, which did not sit well with the tribe. After losing the first Immunity Challenge of the season, one that she had previously competed in, the target on her back became larger. While the tribe planned to vote her off, she was told that the target for the night was Michaela Bradshaw. Satisfied that the target was not on her, she decided to go along with the plan. Later that day, Michaela was upset that her name had been thrown out as a decoy, and the tribe contemplated taking out Michaela instead of Ciera. Ultimately, the tribe decided it was best to keep challenge strength and tribal unity, and thus Ciera was voted off unanimously, becoming the first casualty of the Survivor: Game Changers.
