Dating on television and feelings

Amanda said, “In my heart, at that family night, that’s when me and Kurt started to develop feelings,. I would say about two to three days before family weekend. I felt pretty secure, and I won’t let a guy use me for money either.”

She noted she knows how to look for red flags and will continue to do so.

Amanda said when she first joined the show she did not know it was Joe Millionaire. They told them all it was another dating show. Once there they spilled the beans on the real show title and the twist of there being two men.

Now that it’s down to six remaining women, Amanda says the timing seems to be much better. She had said in the beginning there were a lot of downtimes and the timing was way off.

Aside from making some lasting friendships, Amanda says she did learn some things from the experience. She said she learned it’s important to stay true to yourself. Some of the girls are there for the competition of it all and she didn’t want to be like that.

She said, “‘Okay, I’m not going to push something or chase something. If it’s meant to be, I’ll attract it naturally.’ I didn’t go into this being like, ‘I’m going to win.’ I was like, ‘If I vibe with the guys, then let’s see where this goes.’ So, I think just staying true to myself and realizing that you don’t have to chase something. You know? If it’s meant for you, it’ll come.”

Do you think Amanda is a good pick for Kurt? Don’t miss Joe Millionaire: For Richer or Poorer on Fox Thursday nights.
