Amanda Bee

Amanda Bee is a contestant from Survivor: Burkina Faso.

Profile
Hobbies: Watching shows about health and fitness while stuffing my face with baked goods, making baked goods to stuff my face with, hanging out with my dogs, being bad at photography.

Pet Peeves: Bugs (both real and computer versions), chewing too loudly, nine-to-five work days.

Three Words To Describe You: Clueless, quirky, indoorsy.

Personal Claims To Fame: Getting a degree is my most notable achievement in life but that’s not really special at all. Sure I did get a job at a major game studio, but so did thousands of other people. I live my life doing what I think is fun as opposed to achieving anything truly noteworthy.

Your Inspiration In Life: I know a lot of female game developers that do inspire me. Game development is one of the most male-dominated industries simply because of how few girls want to go into the field. Any women in game development has made huge risks by trying to push thorugh a status quo that has been around since the arcade era of video games.

Contestant You Are Most Like: I share a lot of my personality with some of the more socially awkward women on Survivor, like Hannah Shapiro from MvGX and Gabby Pascuzi form David vs Goliath.

Reason For Being On Survivor: I love Survivor, I will talk about it too anyone who wants to listen. I’m obsessed. I’m very lucky to get chosen over so many of the other superfans who’ve tried, it’s an opportunity I just can’t pass up.

Why You’ll Win: I don’t think I will. If I did it would be because of my game knowledge and hard work. If we’re being completely honest I’ll probably go out pre-merge, even first boot maybe.
