1.) She is cutthroat and ruthless, completely hammering Monica on her emotional instability by telling her that she will have to sit at home with her kids as they watch her get bullied and made fun of by the two guys she trusted. I love all players that can set aside guilt and emotion from the game and just play the game how the game is supposed to be played
2.) She's not some annoying woman bitch that drives me insane with her incessant whining and bitching about random stuff or how she's hungry or blahblah she is actually strong minded and really did work hard after she flipped one tribal too late. She can talk to people smoothly and get her message across cleanly without scaring them away- like when Ciera wanted Tina to shut up and not ruin what she had going with Monica, I felt like Ciera was a shepherd trying to herd Monica, the emotionally unstable animal back into the pen... And her answers at tribal were always spot on to what they needed to be.
3.) She had the balls to write Laura and in parenthesis (Mom). She really drove the blood vs water twist and showed us she's not just some weak little girl. I personally don't think Katie would have had the mental strength to do that to her mother nor would most people. She saw that her mom was an obstacle in her way of advancing in the game and told her own mother that she had to send her packing. And think about it, Ciera was a teen mom, so clearly after that experience it would prove that Ciera and Laura's relationship is as close as they say it is, so Ciera doing that really showed how mentally strong she is and how she is so able to separate her emotions from the game- the sign of a good player.
4.) Her flipping and forcing the rock draw just showed how intelligent of a person she is. Most other players would pussy out and be scared to make a move and would continue sheeping, but no, Ciera once again proved herself. She knew when she was number 4 and wasn't afraid to turn the tables COMPLETELY and force the rock draw. Her one mistake in the entire game was trusting Tyson for too long and believing she was with him to the end, but she made up for it even if it was a bit too late. As Probst said at the reunion, "that is how you play the game."
5.) Her come from behind victory in that final 6 immunity challenge was just fantastic; Jeff was giving her shit as she was way behind in the water, then out of nowhere she just comes back to win the challenge.
But I do gotta say that she was stupid for not flipping when caleb and katie were still in the game and had the numbers! She said she knew she was 4th all along,so why wait to flip when it was already too late!
But I do love her though,and I agree with the blog,but just something I pointed out! :) I hope they bring her back cuz I would like to see her play again!
M2thamax yeah I said in #4 that was her one mistake but she truly believed Tyson was with her to the end. and she had pretty good reason to believe that as well.
that was rude Rebelman2227, she is actually really skinny.. and i mean her bone structure is pretty small, so it wouldn't take much for her stomach to stick out (even tho it RARELY did, and only barely). Katie had more "rolls" than her, and even Katie wasn't that bad imo.
