Yeah, those rumors have been around for a while.
Might have something to do with what Amanda didn't want to talk about in her People interview.
Amanda Kimmel: I Will Never Play Survivor Again
May 3, 2010
Amanda Kimmel, a 24-year-old former Miss Montana, has been a Survivor bridesmaid and never the bride, despite making it to the finale on both China and Micronesia. She earned her worst placement on Heroes vs. Villains when she became the jurys fourth member. She tells PEOPLE about her girl fight, Candices disloyalty, Colbys sloth and why shes hanging up her reality-show veil for good. Carrie Bell
You were final three both times you played before. Was there a reason why this was your worst showing?
A lot of things happened that I cant talk about that made me lose interest. It was a very different game than my last two in all ways possible.
You stated that you made too many mistakes this time. What were they?
Giving Danielle back the clue. I didnt do well at the challenge. I also didnt do too well at the standing challenges either. To win, you have to be good at the physical, the strategic and the social game. Im not good at sticking up for myself or to my guns. Tribal is my downfall. I would have done better in them if I had been on a jury before. Russells downfall is the social aspect. You cant burn peoples socks, gloat about it and then expect them to vote for you.
Were you the right person for the villains to vote out this week?
They did it because of my tiff with Danielle. That and because Parv told them how strategic I was and that left a bad taste in their mouth.
Your fire seemed to have gone out long before Jeff snuffed your torch. Had you given up?
For sure. Because of certain things that happened that I wont discuss I wasnt passionate about the game anymore.
If your buddy James had stayed, would it have made a difference?
Maybe. He was the one person that I was like, If I have to be here, at least Im here with him. But there were still things that happened that made me not want to play anymore.
Lets talk about the idol clue. You fought for it, but ultimately let it go. Why?
I didnt know the rules of the reward clues and I needed a little back-up from Colby. I wasnt getting it. He made me feel really bad about taking the clue. I was already like, Oh my gosh, what am I doing? It escalated my nervousness. I couldnt open it with Danielle all over me. I had the balls at least to get it. He could have held her back so I could read it. It was really selfish of him. What he does affects my game. It affects all of the Heroes. Having that idol for our side would have lead to a different outcome. We kept him over James and here he was just rolling over and dying.
How do you feel about Candice switching sides?
She was mad at me. She wanted to do this plan where wed get in a fight to throw Russell off track. She was so excited about her plan and I was going to go along with it, but decided not to because it wouldnt do anything for us and I didnt think Russell would fall for it. We were in a tug o war with her. Hed talk to her. Then Id talk to her. I dont know what she was thinking voting with him because in no way was that in her best interest. No way shes getting into their threesome. She cant trust him. Me and her chilled together everyday after James left so I dont know why she didnt trust me when I said, Youre on the bottom of 5 if you flip. But when she gets scared, she flips. Thats what she does.
Is there someone you think deserves to win this round?
Im rooting for the Heroes. But to be honest I dont really care because theres no one left that are my people. Anyone who is trying to get rid of Russell right now would get my vote so even Sandra. I wouldnt vote Colby for the million because I dont feel like he deserves it. He isnt putting out enough effort.
Would you play again?
I will never play Survivor again. Russell has changed the game in a way Im not interested in either. The show isnt pure on any level anymore. When I left, I said, Good riddance. I was glad to be done with him. I have other things going on in my life. Im coming out with my own organic fragrance called Wild and then I want to move into a skincare line. Im excited to get that going.
