Yes, it appeared Amanda again failed to sell herself to the jury, by talking about the challenges she fought hard to win, finding the idol & delivering a dramatic performance at that TC before whipping it out, and her "loyalty." If she would have sold herself better, she may have been able to get another vote -- at least Eliza's vote, possibly.

However, like in China, Amanda's game was lost waaaay before FTC. Again, Amanda didn't make enough personal connections with other contestants and stayed mostly in her own inner circle. Parvati befriended and flirted with everyone with a pulse. Parvati may have pissed off some people, but she played a far better social game by hanging out with everyone.

A few people brought up that they believed Amanda was a "fake pageant girl" and they didn't believe her emotions were true. If Amanda allowed more people to get to know her, maybe they wouldn't have seen her as "fake."

So, Amanda repeated the same mistake she made in China, by not letting people get to know her and forming friendships.

I feel a little sorry for Amanda, as I think she's nicer and more sincere than she comes across as, but she should have learned from China and she obviously didn't.

Now her and Ozzy can commiserate together in their belief that they were robbed at Survivor. (I just know that's ONE of the things they are doing together.)
