I thin kthat's completely unfair. Whose to say that Ozzie wasn't the one pursuing Amanda.. Ozzy was clearly laying on the charm the moment he met her with his whole, you know I kept my word last time.

Why are you assuming that Amanda's the one chasing Ozzy. How can you be sure that Ozzy isn't chasing after Amanda?

Frankly I think people have been really hard on Amanda/Ozzy. Both were hardnose players, both unlike Pavarti stressed that they thought an emotional connection like a dating relationship, could be your downfall in a game.

But whose to say that they both just fell for each other and couldn't help it. Ozzy and Amanda both have a lot in common. Amanda was some kind of wilderness guide, Ozzy clearly loves the wild... I don't know either one of them, but they seem to have a lot in common. That's really the kind of thing that can't be helped.

But inspite of that we can't assume that Amanda will necessarily ride Ozzy to the top. Amanda has been proven to be a player, and they reminded us of that in the first episode. She was the only Favorite who got a Strategy clip...

As for what Amanda has done.
1. Convincing James to allign with her, even though she engineered his ousting last time.
2. Helping Pavarti convince Cirie to switch their side.
3. Building a strong bond with Pavarti.

Quite frankly, Amanda also strikes me as a slow and steady kind of player. Probst said that she is the type of player who will continue to make moves to get her farther into the game. But O also suspect that she's the type of player who isn't going to make too many moves to early. If anything I felt this episode at the end of tribal council they really took pains to highlight the difference between Ozzy/Amanda. Ozzy, cocky, I'm going home. Amanda, you should never be comfortable.

They have been showing us a lot more of Amanda lately, I suspect her story is only just starting.
