Amanda Stanton - BIP - Season 3 - *Sleuthing - Spoilers*

Imo, Amanda is not what she tries to portray herself to be. I don't see her as this poor victim like she is portraying herself in her blog but rather someone who is passive-aggressive with her likes and post. It's all woe-is-me when the edit doesn't cast her in a favourable light and I actually think she is someone who more easily gets away with things and uses her situation to manipulate to get what she wants. She may not be as smart as the other A, but I think she is just as self-centered. I see this relationship heading in the same direction, minus the book deal.

I'm going to assume that she is a nice person since every girl that was on Ben's season with her got to know her and they all speak highly of her.

I'm neutral regarding Amanda. I do, however, question why she didn't use her blog to focus on her first impression of Josh or just more little fun facts about their date.
I think that would have been interesting and also a way to keep it light, playful, and about her budding romance. It could have been a constructive way to shift focus.

I'm just curious. I read her divorce papers where basically she was a stay at home mom. Nothing wrong with that. But wasn't it sleuthed she sold Arbonne for her "esthetician" title? Overreaching IMO.

I honestly want to learn from her. No job, but great clothes. I know her ex-husband makes decent money and paid for certain things, but damn. Her SM influence isn't that big. Though I guess she HAS to get tons of free stuff right to make it work?

Or support from family? Otherwise I do not get it, especially with Nick2 stating the kiddos are now in daycare full-time. $$$$$ You can't make that much schilling can you? I mean her audience (growing now obvi) was so much smaller than others. Trust fund? What?

Okay, basically I'm jealous because I'm Nick's age. (We are the same age, he is like 3 weeks older than me, but totally at different place in our lives. I've been married since 24 and have a 5-year-old kiddo. Starting kindergarten Wednesday which brings up its own issues. But from the Midwest like him (Iowa).

Sorry for the tangent, but I don't get how the extravagance occurs.

ETA: Not actually jealous, just curiosity. Did she even go to college? My multiple degrees and my husband's bigwig job don't even give me the the benefits she seems to get for nothing...

I think she got a decent following on sm from Ben's season. During when the show was airing, each episode when Ben posted something on IG, the day he eliminated Amanda, he received an insane amount of comments on that picture, trashing him for dumping her. It was double compared to anyone else. So I guess the 'single mom leaving her kids to look for love on a reality dating show' angle works for her. She's shilling A LOT, that seems to make a lot of money.

Enough though, in ORANGE COUNTY, to dress yourself and your two daughters in duds that typically cost over $100? Hearing now they are in daycare full-time? Moving into a new house/apartment with NO standard career? Obviously establishing photo-shoots for your pics as they look too perfect. Traveling every other weekend? Does this seriously come from schilling? I know she established a connection from her season and now as a "power couple" on BIP, but this had to come before it. She wasn't paid for the Bachelor and BIP barely pays groceries for a week in OC terms.

Honestly, how does she do it? Her spousal support would be very minimal as she was married like 2 years. Schilling cannot make up that ground. What are her parents' background? IMO that totally gives me the best insight on her lifestyle because I think it comes from there. IMO.

^^ I'm with you Kels. I have no clue either. Always on the go every single weekend this month.Well she, Josh, and her girls all went to Disneyland today/yesterday so she let them play hooky from pre-school! All her words from Snapchat not making this up. So daycare or pre-school what is it??? I used to like her on Ben's season and well right now (putting aside her being with Josh) not liking the whole "perfect mother" act she's trying to put on for her followers. All JMO.
