Someone just asked me my age and I blurred out 25. I'm only off by 5 years. Pic of when I was 25! #youngatheart #tbt

I hope she got the boot the first night. Please let us all be SO lucky! She's gonna look so ridiculous, might as well save herself the embarrassment by getting cut early anyway. Though, TBTP casted her for just that I'm sure. To embarrass her. Oops. She loses.

I wonder if they brought her back as the 'token' African American like they do every season? :\

Gosh, I hope not. That means shed at least have to last two or three episodes. That's no gonna fly, if we all want her out night 1. I hope they casted NEW minority cast members.

Tbh, it doesn't really matter if they cast new minorities or not. They typically are the 'token' and very seldom make it far, which is kind of unfortunate.

True. But I'd rather NEW, than Amber..

Amber is nice enough. I hope she is there for Ben and not fame.

I have wondered if Becca was resistant to being the only returnee and they brought back Amber to help to take the spotlight off Becca first night.  Bringing back more than one may help diffuse the attention by the other women.  I think Amber is sweet and genuinely looking for love, but bringing her back right after her appearance on BIP is suspect, IMO.  I think production must like her and they have some agreement.  Otherwise, Amber is somewhat desperate pursuing so many guys in a matter of months.  JMO.

I don't think production have any sort of agreement with Amber. She was brought back to made to be seen as desperate. She's gonna most likely end up being the returnee that wasted her time cause Ben has no interest in her/gets the boot fairly quick compared to the returnee (Becca) that didn't waste her time because Ben likes her and she makes it fairly far. It's a comparison thing, I think.

^^Good point. Maybe not an "agreement" but a plan like you say.  I don't believe Amber is there for Ben as much as she is there for the storyline/comparison.

Dose she have a child or have I mixed her with someone else?

I wouldn't guess that Amber will be there long either but really we have no idea who Ben will or won't like.
