Amanda Hoosen

Amanda Hoosen is a contestant from .
An integral part of the season, Amanda started out on the Bajau tribe, where she rounded up an alliance of misfits against the three main providers of the tribe, Hein Vosloo, Dyke Higginson and Nicola Windt. Despite her occasionally grating loquaciousness, Amanda's keen social awareness carried over into the new Iban tribe post-switch, where she eliminated her rival Rijesh Govender and formed close bonds with Angie Bennett and her former enemy Dyke. At the merge, old tribal lines prevailed and after Hein's elimination, Amanda was relegated to the minority with her fellow Bajau members. Despite all of her allies being voted off, Amanda was able to coast to the final three after the original Iban Alliance fractured. She lost the Final Immunity Challenge and was voted out by Lorette Mostert, who had a closer bond with Grant Clark.

Lives in: Weltevreden Park
Occupation: Head Of Internal Audit
This confident, bubbly high-flier studied accounting in the USA and lived there for nine years. She has travelled the world, but these days she manages the internal audit team at a large mining company. In her spare time, she enjoys Bikram Yoga (yoga in a heated room). She has also had dance training since the age of five and does ballet, tap, modern and jazz.
Why she could survive in Malaysia: Amanda has already conquered the corporate world: what can stop her now? She won't compromise her personality to save face, but best of all, she can talk her way in and out of any situation.
