August 20 , 2007: Jeff Probst's comments (made
sometime during the game), as told to Ileane Rudolph of TV
Guide, in their barely pre-cast reveal article:
"Jeff's take: Amanda
probably is the most physically fit woman this season, very
strong and confident. She's been outdoors a lot and she's not
afraid of sticks or stones. Plus, she really knows the show — she's
watched every episode — and after 15 seasons, that's
an advantage."

August 20, 2007: Officially revealed as a Survivor:
China contestant by CBS, as the cast is unceremoniously
dumped onto the CBS web site. From her official
CBS bio:
 "Amanda Kimmel has lived all over the state of Montana.
She most recently worked as a hiking tour guide and continues
to hone her skills as an artist while learning about
the fashion industry. At the age of 16, she began modeling
in Chicago, where she lived on her own for one year.
She has also worked as a make-up artist, retail sales
representative and waitress. Her goal is to develop a
business within the fashion industry.
Kimmel has competed in many beauty pageants and was
crowned Miss Montana USA in 2005 and Miss Earth in 2006.
She's been on the cover of Montana Living Magazine and
Pageantry Magazine. Kimmel has been to China twice before
to compete in the Miss Kite of the World Pageant in Weifang,
where she placed as a semifinalist, was given a key to
the city and was heavily promoted on billboards and news
articles. While promoting tourism via these pageants,
she did volunteer work at orphanages and other organizations
and was permitted to fly kites off the Great Wall in
five-inch heels.
Kimmel's hobbies include hiking, running,
drawing and painting. She enjoys rock climbing, snowshoeing,
kickboxing and volleyball. Kimmel describes herself as
motivated, competitive and determined. She has camped
every weekend in Montana since she was three years old.
She tries never to leave home without her cowboy boots.
Kimmel
just moved from Kalispell, Montana to Los Angeles and
is living with her sister, Katrina. Her family has one
dog, Sassy, one cat, Cleo and one horse, Frisco. Her
birth date is August 3, 1984."
