It is possible to play a cut-throat game without personally attacking and bullying other houseguests. Just one example is Dan from BB10, he had strategy and was actually quite brutal once his "laying low" strategy part of the game was over. But he never made fun of their appearance, attacked their parenting or denigrated their religious convictions and he won his season in a unanimous vote. A cut-throat but clean game CAN be accomplished if you take out the personal and remember that it is just a game after all. Amanda talks about Elissa like Elissa killed her puppy or stole her date to prom. The only person to be as abusive to other houseguests as Amanda is in this season was Evel Dick from BB8 but at least he was upfront with the people he abused. When the victims of his attacks received barrages of insults from him, they saw them coming and he said things to their faces. You may not agree with his tactics but at least he was honest. He didn't do all the talking about people behind their backs or the fake butt-kissing like she does. Amanda's words against Elissa speak to her character. Does Elissa have a joker face? Um, yeah, a little bit but calling other people out on personal stuff isn't game play or strategy. It's just mean. It's too bad that Amanda doesn't have the emotional maturity to play the game without being a teenage bully. After all, this is just a game.
