She made it to the final three but only received one vote to win, ultimately losing to Todd Herzog during Survivor season 15.

Amanda made her last reality TV appearance during Survivor: Heroes vs. Villains in 2010, where she played one of the heroes. It was her worst performance, as it was the first time she had been voted out, and she became a jury member. After that, Amanda vowed she would never play Survivor again, and so far, she has kept that promise. It seems that Amanda has left the reality TV world behind and has opted to keep a low profile ever since. Amanda has also left behind her relationship with Ozzy Lusth, whom she met on Survivor: Micronesia.

Amanda Got Married After Survivor

Amanda is now married to her husband, Matt Cooper, with whom she allegedly has two children. However, she's mostly gone off the grid since her three Survivor seasons, and there's very little about her on social media. While she was a popular player on the show, it seems she has chosen to maintain her privacy after gaining fame on Survivor. Amanda is greatly missed in the Survivor universe, as viewers loved how she would try to outwit, outplay, and outlast everyone else. Hopefully, Amanda will re the Survivor community like Parvati did, whether for a new season or to share her thoughts on new players.

Survivor seasons are available for streaming on Apple TV, Paramount+, Paramount+ Roku Channel, Hulu, Amazon Prime Video, Netflix, and DIRECTV.
