Comparing the two seasons Amanda lost, the thing that stands out the most to me is that she started going to pieces at the same stage in each of them.

Not at the Final TC but at the TC preceding it. Right at the point when she had to vote out a close ally.

Observing her behavior, I can only surmise that she is, to use her own words, cliquey. She has no qualms working with her friends to get rid of...

That's not irony. I think the word you're looking for is "appropriate." That's only seems ironic if your name is Alanis.

LOL! My friends and I were just discussing this...

Natalie should be the last person to be critiqing anyone's game. She was a delusional piece of ugly garbage who was only used as a number for the real players, Cirie, Amanda, and Parvati.

Yes, you're so over it that you replied to a thread about it that hasn't had a post in a month.

Who cares? She lost in China.....she lost in Micronesia........she sucks....

I was over it two seconds after both seasons ended.....a very forgettable character.......I think it was very telling when (Natalie?) commented how she walked around with this blank stare on her face....

It is so ironic that her and Ozzy hooked up.......they are both Survivor morons!

AManda definitely had game.
However, she just really sucked at the final tribal council twice.
I think both times she was as good of a player as the winner, but she just refused to acknowledge her own skills in the game in fear of pissing off the jury and that backfired.

Amanda sucked ass. I mean seriously. I'm really glad she lost. She hardly played UNTIL Ozzy left, and then she's all' "game on". Lmao. What a twat.

No argument there.

Even if she didn't get a chance to see the final outcome of the S15 tribal council, Peih-Gee called her out specifically for giving "doe-eyed looks" at tribal council.

And yet she did the exact same thing the second time around. This time Natalie called her out for it.

When two separate groups of people call you out for being superficial, there's probably some truth to it.

Ok so we all agree that the answer is : because she sucks.

Someone posted an interview with Amanda in the Sucks forum, and she basically admits that she answered the jury's questions the same way she would answer questions at a beauty pageant.

She says she didn't realize that the jury is looking for honesty, not for generic responses that may go over well on the pageant circuit but don't work on Survivor.

Amanda's main problem is that her game plan is to be the main accomplice or sidekick to another player who makes the bold moves. For someone to win with that strategy, either that person is up against their main ally who is hated by the jury (Amber/Rob) or that person is up against another player who is viewed as a weak coat tail rider (Ethan/Kim). In both of her seasons, Amanda assumed the role of accomplice/sidekick to Todd/Parvati. Since Todd and Parvati both could own up to their...

Amanda losing to the two brattiest and the #1 sluttiest Survivors EVER in the Final TC pretty much sums it up. I think she can talk a great game and can even play a bit of a decent game, but just isn't emotionally mature yet to handle venomous criticism from outgoing personalities in the spotlight. She is young.

Well that, and her abnormally large Oscar Meyer Hot Dog fingers make it hard for her to give good handjobs.

Jenna & Danni also had the good luck to bring with them the most hated player to the final 2 with them.

Did she not read any of the recaps or discussion threads, like, ever?

She wasn't a fan...since the beginning.

But it's a good question - why did she do so poorly? Did she not read any of the recaps or discussion threads, like, ever?

Danni went far in pageants - runner-up Miss USA.
Jenna m has a personality more like Parv, while Amanda's is more like Amber. Jenna can be funny and very genuine.

Amanda had some pretty good arguments for deserving to win:
- one of the two strategic leaders of her alliance
- masterminded James's boot which was biggest move of the game and should have earned appreciation from the other tribe
- best challenge performer of the finalists, her F5 and F4 immunity wins prevented first PG and then Denise from making F3 and winning (I have no doubt PG would have won both ICs without Amanda).
- a decent worker around camp, only finialist...
