Survivor Amanda Kimmel - 100 Days + All-time longest-playing Survivor - Until betrayed by 2 'Heroes' - Amanda Kimmel: 100 Images

With Amanda gone, my favourite player is as well.

Whether it was  her strength and fearlessness in the challenges, her youth & radiant beauty or her  strategical play in SURVIVOR, Amanda Kimmel was/is a wonderful role model of a strong, fit young woman--and a true hottie. Her niceness and her willingness to share her feelings with the camera made Amanda a sympathetic "character," though in truth, she is as Jeff Probst has said more than once, constantly strategizing.

I'm amazed when people complain that she cries sometimes. You go live outside with no food for 100 days and see if you don't cry occasionally, is what I have to say to that dumb line of complaint about her.

Side note: When she started this installment of the game Amanda Kimmel weighed 144 lbs. which many people would knock as "fat." In case you are curious she only shed 12 pounds in 30 days in Samoa. If you look at her next to most all the women and about half or more of the men she's as tall or taller. She looks to be maybe 6' tall -- so 144 lbs.? Pfft!

As noted, Amanda Kimmel "strategized" herself into over 100 days on Survivor with two trips to the final jury vote (getting no votes, sadly, due to her inability to articulate why she deserved to win). She set  some records and in sum, was one of the better players ever, IMO.

Since she is now only 25 years old, I'd love to see her in say, 5 years.That I think is the biggest thing that knocked Amanda down--her wavering certitude in her own "greatness." Confidence could have taken Amanda farther in the game and if she were to gain that--and going from age 25 to say, 30 will help a great deal--and play again, I would tune in a few years just to see her.

In other news, I'm not going to spoil it here but the boot list I saw has been exactly right since day 1. Much like LOST, ironically the show modeled on SURVIVOR it seems there have been major leaks in what went on as the SURVIVOR Heroes vs. Villains game played on. This edition (20) of SURVIVOR was made  last summer. That's a really long time to ask the multitudes involved with the show to not talk amongst themselves, never mind others.

Well over 100 shots of Amanda Kimmel :)
