Amanda Kimmel: "a lot of people thought that I just got lucky twice, which is not the case" + reality blurred

Amanda Kimmel

Despite her record, Amanda isn’t exactly thought of as one of the best Survivor players. While I’m definitely a fan of her game play, I realize that a lot of people think she doesn’t deserve any credit, and asked her about that. “Everyone thinks that. Even though I made it to the end twice in a row, people think, ‘That girl has no game. It was lucky that she made it that far.’ And I’m like, seriously? I just played a really good game; no one knew what I was doing.”

Later, she said, “I don’t think you can get lucky Survivor twice and make it to the end. No one’s every been that lucky,” adding, “I’m very, very strategic. Just because it hasn’t been in your face doesn’t mean I haven’t been strategic, and that’s definitely something I want to show this time.”

However, she does plan to use that to her advantage, because Amanda doesn’t think she’ll be an immediate target like the winners. “Like you said when I first sat down, I don’t think a lot of people will see me as a threat, even though I’ve made it that far twice. I know what I’m capable of, and I know there are some people here who know what I’m capable of, but I hope not many.” Therefore, “I don’t think I will really be seen as a threat, because a lot of people thought that I just got lucky twice, which is not the case,” Amanda said.
