The Amanda Show

“There’s people fighting everywhere! It’s crazy! I don’t know if I’m going to last in the jury house.”—Judd

One of the most memorable houseguests of Big Brother 15 has been Amanda. Whether you like her or hate her, you can’t deny her electrifying presence in that house. She was a strategic juggernaut (relatively speaking) and was involved in countless fights. She was good TV.

She is still good TV.

You might think that being eliminated from the game would chill Amanda out; you would be wrong. Now that she has been shipped off to the jury house, she is still up to her hysterics, fervently arguing with the rest of jury over who deserves to win. “I really thought that Amanda was going to be different outside of the Big Brother house,” says Aaryn, “and she’s actually worse…It’s still campaigning, and it’s still drama.”

McCrae has been evicted from the house since we last caught up with jury, but I doubt that Amanda has stopped her tirade. The fact that she and her showmance have been evicted is immaterial. I think this is just who she is. She has to turn everything into an argument, and she will not yield until you agree with her.

Dan Gheesling pegged her as a “brat,” and that sounds fairly apt. But in all her bellicosity and downright nuttiness, that brat is entertaining.

[1] Jeremy always spoke with absolute certitude about his prowess in competitions. He told everyone that he would win his way to the final two, and they all believed him! They were terrified of the self proclaimed Cherokee Wonder, so much that they backdoored him three weeks into the game.

[2] Too bad production had to cut the feed to this fight after a few minutes.
