i totally hate that she's not on the show anymore. i understand her need to go home and figure some stuff out so her head is on straight and hopefully then she will come back.
to amanda:
it is human nature to desire control over your own life. but the bitter truth is you don't. you don't have control over anything. you might be fooled into thinking you do for a time, but the truth is it could all change in an instant. but that doesn't mean that this life is random and pointless and going nowhere. i don't know if you believe in God, but for those of us that do, we find comfort knowing that even though we are out of control, God has a perfect plan overriding everything. right now, i believe He is testing you and hopefully you will come out of it trusting Him. nothing will happen outside of His plan even though lots of things happen outside of your plan. if you can learn to let go and lean on Him, i think it will help you in many more ways than you can imagine. please know that i am praying for you.
as for the show, please kick Alex off NOW. i really don't like that punk. he's immature and acts like he's totally stupid and doesn't know anything. He needs to get kicked off so he learns to GROW UP. instead of peeing in shampoo bottles!   See 2 other replies

technically, she wasn't kicked off. She couldn't handle the lack of freedom she had and she made it a big enough deal that Michael thought that it wasn't going to work for her and she was in agreement...she could've stayed if she wanted to and, from what I heard, she could still return if she chooses to. Either way, she could still get help from Michael with stuff when she returns to Hollywood though how much help remains to be seen.   See 2 other replies
