Amanda O'Neill

Amanda O'Neill is the Sole Survivor of Survivor: Appalachia. She later competed on Survivor: Sri Lanka.
Generally easygoing despite her disdain for authority, Amanda started off in Appalachia following the lead of the Citico tribe, exchanging banter with the opponents and voting alongside the majority at Tribal Councils. However, she also had a well-received social game, bonding with tribemates, especially over their status as rebels. When the swap came, Amanda became nervous but, after the first impressions, she quickly made herself at home in Pisgah, forming alliances with people like Bowser. At the merge, her connections had the side effect of forcing her to have a hand in eliminating a number of her friends, but they also allowed her to fly under the radar and coast virtually unharmed to the end and to the finals. There, her social game and her general honesty gave her the edge over the more soft-spoken Mami and the pragmatic Mòrag, and she emerged as the winner in a 5-3-2 vote, the first Sole Survivor with zero elimination votes to their name.
Amanda appeared in the following season, Sri Lanka, confident in a second round among other All-Stars. However, Ahasa's initial losing streak left Amanda undecided on her allies and with three votes to her name by the time of the swap. There, she was roped in by Beowulf's desire to eliminate Celty, but she quickly turned on him once she decided that it had been a mistake. By the time of the merge, her only true friends were Ralph, Fuyuhiko and Aoko, who were picked off one by one by Char's majority alliance. Amanda then allied herself with Ezreal and Minako, but a plan to eliminate Kyouma quickly went south as Minako's misplayed advantage forced a revote. Left as the majority's only viable target, Amanda was voted off in a 5-3 vote, joining the jury bitter and resentful after mistakenly attributing her elimination to a betrayal.
