I really don't get what yall mean when you say her "drama and attitude" is her own enemy. That's literslly never gotten in the way of competing and this show need independent women who stands up for themselves and her drama has never affected her competiveness, plus drama is still a factor and she changes the dynamic so somebody gotta spice it up so I think she's perfect.
Drama and attitude might not affect her game, but it's not exactly negatively affecting her opponents' game either. If anything, her opponents are more focused when facing her than they would otherwise because she puts a target on her back. If you're an elite physical competitor like a CT, Darrell or Laurel that doesn't matter, but she's not. She's making her job harder than it needs to be. Someone of her physical stature is better off being underestimated, not the subject of people wanting to pound her into the ground. Like I said in previous posts, fight smarter, not harder.
And I don't think talking shit and starting crap constantly is a requirement to be an "independent woman" necessarily. You can be an independent woman and not be so quick to yell and scream. I'm not saying she needs to sit back and say nothing (that'd make her boring and completely useless) but if she wants to win one of these, a little more discretion and self-control wouldn't hurt. Don't fight just to fight and start shit to start shit -- have an actual strategic reason to do so. She has intelligence, but I think her strategy game needs a bit more work. As other posters in other threads have mentioned, Ashley has Amanda beat as far as strategy. She deftly allowed Amanda to be bogged down in that stupid Camila/Laurel fight and she used Amanda again last night to get a victory.
Amanda needs to start looking 15 seconds up the road instead of being distracted by everything that's right in front of her. Perhaps that will come with more experience and maturity.
Lol you guys are giving her way too much credit for the second elimination round. Figuring out how to score a point was obvious...everyone would've used that strategy
i think she's a good competitor and ive said this since rivals 3 but scoring in that game against nicole is not that special

I totally agree with this. She gets in her own way and seems like a generally angry and bitter person. Part of the game is politics, and if you have none you won't win. She was lucky to have another mean, emotionally unstable girl play along with her, but she and Ashley dragged each other along. Amanda really needs to work on her emotional stability. Giving the champions the finger for just putting chips in her bed, come on now. Grow up and move on. Listen to them and learn from them. There is a reason they are champs.

Cara and Camilla are both about 1/9 first place wins and even now I would not call them good at politics. Laurel's political success is based solely on her challenge dominance, she was also (like Cara/Camilla's early challenges) very ostricized on her challenge debut. If anything they should learn from her; Amanda was always comfortable in the majority alliance on her team this season, including in the shelter before it was just her and Ashley M.
We saw how hard the boys in her alliance tried vying for Amanda/Ashley's vote and argued to win their favor and I think that that's because they were so dramatic. I do agree that Ashley outplayed Amanda though
Yeah it took all of those champions except Johnny & Darrell up to 8 tries to finally win it all. So let's not act like they have some amazing gameplay strategy and wisdom to share.
On top of that this generation doesn't have the luxury of team challenges/finals. I'm sure a lot more people would be champions by now if it wasn't set up to have only 1 or 2 champions per season.
You're lying to yourself. Only the champions would have made an adjustment in their strategy after seeing something didn't work the first time.Everyone else would have continued to struggle with their opponent and exert unnecessary force and energy
you mean how amanda tried the same thing three times and was only successful once? everyone except maybe the helmet wearing droolers cory and nelson expected that from her. for god sakes you could hear shane, laurel, CT talking about it throughout the entire game on the side lines. amanda made her strategy too obvious and she should've switched it up after she scored but instead she was predictable which allowed nicole to time her perfectly in the third round
Ashley played Amanda like Bananas plays his "friends". When Ashley was giving up and 'suggested" they team up it was like she took a page out of Bananas book. Imagine if Bananas said that to Tony, Leroy or Vince.

I mean, what other option is there than using momentum like she was doing? She's clearly the weaker person, if she tried to wrestle Nicole or take it to the ground, she would've lost immediately. Kind of limited options when you're tethered to the other person who's stronger than you.
It had less to do with strength and more to do with speed. A quick burst of speed is how she won that one round she did. She shouldve waited for Nicole to go close to the edge and then done a fast jump.
I kind of would put Amanda in the same category as Jonna as a competitor. Like on paper, she doesn't seem like a threat, but she's actually smart, scrappy, and can surprise you.
But honestly I will say that she was much tolerable here than she was last season. I also think the only good thing she's done so far on these shows is come for Camilla. Not really good for anything else in my eyes.
Amanda had definitely proven herself in my eyes. She doesn't seem to let the drama affect her game, so she can easily drag trash like camila & jenna while still being a threat physically & mentally in the challenges. I welcome her back & hope she is even feistier next season. Her & Dario, the only ayto I accept. The rest- total garbage.

She was my favorite this season and I was bummed when she lost the elimination to Andy ****. Easily one of the smartest contestants this show has had in a minute. I hope she returns for many more challenges to come.
I think Amanda is pretty. People just get at her about her freckles. She has a nice face. Anyway, I peeped her instagram and she has the cutest boyfriend! They seem so into each other too. She must be doing something right.
And again, she's known as the mean girl, and she does have some of that going on, but it should be pointed out that that huge fight that happened this season was not started by her. Laurel and Camilla are the ones who came at her!
"OH MY GOD NO! You guys are like so immature. Like I can't even. You're grown *** women putting chips in the bed. It's not cool. You're just doing it to be a *****. It's not a prank."
"Gotta make sure all of our shit's ok. Dumb **********.Old *** hags."
Thou shall not lie.
Well that's one commandment broken...
i'd like amanda to return but she can stay the **** away from any exes type show cos i do not need to see that 50 year old looking mf mike ever again
She wouldnt do exes with nico due to respect for her hot bf. And viewers.

Hated her on Rivals 3 but now I love her! She has made a fan of me this season and hopefully with some training she can come back and get the W.

Flop.
You don't find her THE LEAST BIT entertaining?
You gotta admit she wasn't as extra as she was last season.
