List of Big Brother 9 (U.S.) House Guests - Amanda

Amanda

Amanda Hansen (born August 17, 1984) was a paralegal from Fridley, Minnesota. She attended Winona State University in Winona, Minnesota and has a bachelor's degree in paralegal studies and political science. At the age of 21, Amanda had to cope with her father's suicide and admitted to feeling guilty because she feels it could have been prevented. Her soulmate in the game was Alex. She and Alex had an alliance with close friends Matt & Natalie in the game, lasting until the two were nominated together. While in the house, Amanda became known for her overuse of the word "bueno" and her high pitched voice. Though she initially had a rather flirtatious relationship with Alex, the two later had a falling out and failed to get along. Amanda also had a flirtatious relationship with Parker while in the house, which led to James speculating that the two new each other outside of the game. She was disliked by numerous people in the house, and was involved in numerous arguments in the house. Her constant gossiping led to a house blowup in which Chelsia, Joshuah and Alex verbally attacked Amanda. The fight culminated in Joshuah made a joke about her father's suicide. She was involved in an argument between her and James and Parker, in which James stated he believed Amanda and Parker knew each other outside of the house. On Day 16, Amanda fainted and experienced a seizure due to lack of sugar from being on slop and was removed from the House for medical treatment. She returned to the House later that night. Amanda & Alex were the first Head of Household couple of the season, and managed to evict Jen & Parker from the house. The following week, Amanda & Alex were nominated against Matt & Natalie for eviction. Amanda was evicted, along with her soulmate Alex, on Day 21. Since her appearance on the show, Amanda has gotten married and had a child. She came in 11th place.
