### *Peru*

Day 9, Ga-Ram leaves Piro Alliance 1 for the rival Piro Alliance 2. Day 12, has a small fight with Ga-Ram. Heading into Tribal Council, Amanda was one of 2 people not being targeted by someone, Amanda joins her Piro Alliance 1 ladies and sticks to voting out Liisa Korhonen, Robina's prime target. The vote is tied and Amanda stays loyal, but Robina flips and Tantoo Cardinal is the first woman to go home.

Day 13, Amanda goes on a summit and the next morning does a schoolyard pick with Jordin Tootoo. Amanda keeps her ally, Robina Khan and strategically picks Brig Gruber and Cristina Papadopoulos in hopes that Alfred van Dop and Ryan Flores will vote with the others to stay in the game. Day 15, Amanda tells the women it's an easy vote, although her real plan is coming together and she gets her revenge on Cristina. Day 21, Amanda wins Immunity and wants to send her nemesis, Ga-Ram Chong home, but Amanda doesn't get enough votes and Viktor Petrov is sent home. Day 24, after winning the first two challenges, Brig Gruber wins Immunity and the tribe target is Amanda, despite her ally (Robina Khan) and mentor (Alfred van Dop) voting with her, Amanda becomes the first jury member.
