Amber Survivor - Tumblr Posts

amber is a lot smarter than people give her credit for. she played the social game crazy in all stars, and openly admits to flirting with rob as a strategy for the first part of the game, and so does he

(and then they kind of called that quits near the merge when they were like . shit im in love with u . and kind of just kept it at "I really think you're the only trustworthy person in this game and I'd literally cry if I blindsided you bc u keep me sane." POINT IS, they were honest to each other for literally 99% of the game except for like the first week when they were strictly alliance from attraction)

she recognized that he was the best player to be aligned with to get to the merge, and literally took part in a huge part of decisions they both made. she was put here giving him a lot of strategic ideas in his ear, and no one even noticed until around the final seven or final eight

do I think she would get another win? no. her win in season eight was largely due to her social game over rob's. she made sure people liked her even if they wanted her out, and rob focused majorly on strategy. a good half of the jury didn't think she deserved it because they didn't realize she wasnt just leaning on rob for survival. her social game is what got her that win, and more recent games are way more focused on strategy than actual social connections with all of these additions and game changes (like eoe, rare clues for idols, etc)

amber deserved her win, but plays very differently than the players in the fifteen most recent seasons, where so much as a relationship or act of kindness on the first day would get you booted quick. survivor is essentially a whole new game now, and her way of playing is far more adjusted to the older seasons

i love her sm and her slander by fans is completely bogus
