“Survivor 50” star Stephenie LaGrossa gave Cirie Fields a dire warning during their unseen fight on Wednesday’s episode.
“I was basically like, ‘Listen, if you take me out, that’s going to be the dumbest thing you’ll ever do,’” LaGrossa exclusively told Page Six. “Because if you take me out, you might be going next.”
The pair, who were on multiple shows together before Season 50, targeted each other ahead of Tribal Council, where all the remaining contestants — including Fields — voted LaGrossa out.
During their confrontation, LaGrossa, 46, begged Fields, 55, to keep her in the game.
“I’m a shield for you. I’m loyal to you. You know I’m loyal to you,” LaGrossa recalled telling Fields. “If I try to take you out, that would not be a good plan because we’re working together.”
But according to LaGrossa, Fields “didn’t like” what her fellow New Jersey native had to say.
“She’s like, ‘Who are you talking to?’ And I’m like, ‘I’m talking to you,’” LaGrossa recounted.
The “Survivor: Palau” alum noted that she made a similar plea to Fields on “Survivor: Heroes vs. Villains” in 2010, where they were both voted out pre-merge.
“And that’s where our friendship began,” LaGrossa explained. “She and I became like sisters.”
LaGrossa confirmed to us that she and Fields spoke before filming Season 50 and promised to have each other’s backs.
“I was honest with her, I was like, ‘Listen, every show we’ve ever done, whether you intentionally or unintentionally have done it, you’ve gotten me out,’” LaGrossa said. “So I need you to give me your word. We stick together to the end as far as we can, and let’s just get there and then we’ll figure it out.”
In response, Fields allegedly called LaGrossa her “family” and swore she’d protect her.
“So when I gave her my word, I meant it one thousand percent,” LaGrossa said. “So it was a little disheartening.”
LaGrossa also called Fields “a master manipulator” — but recognized that the “Traitors” Season 1 winner always “plays a good game.”
“She really should be a lawyer,” LaGrossa added. “She can spin any scenario and she’s very smart. So props to her. She got me out.”
“Survivor 50” airs Wednesdays at 8 p.m. ET on CBS.
