This is a really good interview with Cirie. Covers some topics that weren't

Did anyone else's behavior disappoint you?
I thought Amanda was a more strategic player than she turned out to be. [In
Micronesia] we had Parvati as a buffer; there was always a third party. We
never played the game together, just she and I. I was a little surprised at
her choices and at her inability to make decisions and play the game for
herself.

Good analysis. I've been disappointed in Amanda's game this season,
and I've been thinking aboout some of the things that
Cirie mentions above. Amanda functions best when she is in a
strong alliance with another aggresive player such as Todd
or Parvati. The word "buffer" that Cirie uses is an apt one. Amanda
is not stupid, as Cirie unfortunately implied during this weeks
episode, but she is uncomfortable when she is put
into a positon where she has to make a decision on her own,without
consulting with her alliance partners first. This is a weakness in
her overall game which she was able to conceal, to a certain degree,
in her previous seasons. Now, with Cirie gone, and the
merge still weeks away, Amanda no longer has any alliance partners who
can act as a suitable buffer for her. That is one
of the reasons I expect her to be gone very soon.
