Ciera Eastin

Cambodia

Ciera was chosen by public vote to be one of the twenty competitors in the "Second Chance" season, Survivor: Cambodia.

Ciera started on Bayon which won the first two challenges. She was switched to Ta Keo as a result of the Tribe Switch. Ta Keo dominated the next three challenges. However, on Night 13, her tribemate Terry Deitz left the game to be with his son. The next day, another tribe switch occurred where Ciera remained on Ta Keo. After losing the Immunity Challenge, Andrew Savage planned to target Spencer Bledsoe, but made Ciera the decoy target. This scared Ciera and she believed Andrew was more loyal to Woo Hwang than her. She convinced Kass McQuillen and Abi-Maria Gomes to target Woo. Ciera got her way as Woo was blindsided.

She made it to the merge. While Kass and Tasha Fox were fighting, Ciera told Jeremy Collins that Andrew told her he and Woo wanted to get rid of him and Joe Anglim which Andrew denied. Ciera then became a target. At Tribal Council, Ciera voted for Andrew received four votes, and her ally Kass was voted out. At the next Tribal Council, Ciera and her allies blindsided Andrew by using Kelley Wentworth's Hidden Immunity Idol. At the final 11, Bayon Alliance members Jeremy, Spencer, and Stephen Fishbach worked with Ciera and her allies to blindside Kelly Wiglesworth.

On the next reward trip, Ciera proposed that Stephen should be blindsided next because of his advantage. After the Immunity Challenge, Ciera, Spencer, Kelley, Abi, Joe, Tasha, and Keith Nale agreed to target Stephen, but throw two votes on Kimmi Kappenberg in case he plays the advantage. However, at Tribal Council Jeremy played one of his idols on Stephen which negated the five votes cast against him, and Ciera was eliminated in a 3-2-0 vote.

At the Final Tribal Council, Ciera voted for Jeremy to win which he did in a unanimous 10-0-0 vote.

Voting History

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.
