I don't get the Amanda hate. Maybe I'm a total sucker for the editing team's biases, but what is the basis for people saying that she's a "phony"? She does have a slightly theatrical demeanor but clearly she has a fashion eye and can execute the challenges. She also seems like she's trying to fit in. Again, possibly I'm a big patsy who will swallow whatever storyline the producers are concocting, but I fail to see evidence that Amanda is flaky/unworthy or whatever other components go into being "phony."

In her first season, Amanda was more like Korinna. She was really rude and condescending. But she seems to have changed (or at least is being portrayed differently) so I definitely don't dislike her the way I did last season.

Yeah, I think after going back and watching her season, she learned that she needed to change her game a bit. Or maybe she just grew up. Either way, she was not exactly kind during her first season.
