Biography

Ciera Eastin authored one of the most famous lines in Survivor strategy: "let's vote out my mom." On Survivor: Blood vs. Water (Season 27), playing against her mother Laura, she made the ruthless decision to vote her out, a moment that defined her as a fearless, big-move player. She embraced that identity fully on Survivor: Cambodia - Second Chance (Season 31), where her willingness to "play the rocks" made her a strategic icon.

Ciera later returned for Survivor: Game Changers (Season 34), completing a three-season run built on aggressive, vote-shaking gameplay.

Daring and unafraid of chaos, Ciera Eastin became a symbol of the modern big-move era, the player who proved she'd risk everything, even a rock draw, to keep control of the game.

Ciera Eastin's own answers from the pre-game cast profile CBS published before the season aired.

Claim to fame
Despite the fact that I got pregnant at 17, I am most proud of the fact that I finished high school, worked three jobs to support my daughter, and now I am happily married with two beautiful children.
Hobbies
Singing/karaoke, ATV riding in the dunes and camping.
Pet peeves
Incompetent people, slow moving people, and negative people who bring the mojo down.
Inspiration
Easy…my dad. He is the best human I've ever met! Everyone he meets loves him; he is kind, caring, wise and has been my biggest fan and encourager, even when my mom is mad at me!
Castaway they say they are most like
Laura Morett because she taught me everything I know and also we have the same competitive nature.
Why they wanted to play
I want to beat my mom. I love her but you have to have tough skin in my family and my mom needs to be shown the real Survivor in our family.

Alliances fans have named

Survivor never names an alliance on screen. These names, and who counts as a member, are how the fan community records the game rather than an official record of it.
