Amanda Kimmel: 100 Images

Amanda Kimmel : "Into The Blue 2: The Reef" Premiere Amanda Lee Kimmel (born August 3, 1984) is a beauty queen from Billings, Montana who has competed in the Miss USA and Miss Earth pageants. Kimmel was a runner-up contestant on both Survivor: China and Survivor: Micronesia, breaking several Survivor records in the process.

UPDATE 09.13.08

I've noticed that I've had number of visitors of late who are looking for photographs of the lovely Amanda Kimmel, who just completed Survivor 16: Fans vs. Favourites in Micronesia. Previously, she'd done Survivor 15: China in which she landed in the final three. This time she made it all the way to final two--only to have the women on the jury get all catty on her and chose Parvati Shallow as the 1 million dollar winner.

I very much _do_ think it was jealousy on several levels--plus Amanda having done the two shows back to back just kind of lost it at the very end, being completely physically and emotionally drained that contributed to  the end result. But that's old news now.

Amanda has her own website at Official Amanda Kimmel

Amanda has had a career modeling starting in childhood, but is now planning to depart to Hawaii to be in a film. It won't be her first film, however. She's worked with directors Peter Berg and James Cameron.

Amanda has also had a number of television stints prior to Survivor. You can find out more on her personal website (link above).

In Amanda's  words:

 "I have a swimsuit poster -- a bunch of them actually -- on my website theamandakimmel.com.  I'm actually doing a movie. I found out from Micronesia that I'm a pretty good actress, so I got this film.  It's called The Reef by Charles Winkler. It's filming in Hawaii in a couple of days actually." Reality TV World

EDIT/From Wikipedia

During the season Kimmel began a relationship with Ozzy Lusth, formerly from Survivor: Cook Islands. As of the reunion show, they were still dating. Kimmel also established many "firsts" during her tenure on Micronesia. These include the most days on Survivor (78), the first player to play twice without a single valid vote cast against her, and the first player to make the Final Tribal Council twice.

But without further ado here are a couple of Amanda Kimmel photographs from the show plus the last is my favorite one from her site--where you can also buy autographed posters of Amanda.

She's nice, too.
Unfortunately she's now come close to winning "Survivor" 15 & 16, ($1 million) twice in a row now because a. the girls are jealous and hate her and b. she falls apart when speaking at Tribal Council in her pleas for the million. At age 24, I don't think she has too many worries, tho'. ;)

She certainly is cute - and obviously keeps herself fit. If I was 15 I'd have her poster on my wall.
