I'm guessing that frozen Hell sign was from Hell, Michigan.
I took this photo once as I thought it was funny that it's showing you which way to Hell.

Is this the same sister who earlier apologized for Amber's remarks against Jewish people?

I can appreciate her sister's most probably heartfelt appeal but that's not enough for me. I can't support her staying and voted accordingly.

awww I can't fault her sister. I would imagine most everyone would support their sister and hope their sister would support them.

The thing is I just can't support Amber for the win. I just don't think Amber is in a place in her life where 500,000 would be a good thing for her. IMO that amount of money could very well do her more harm then good.

I also don't think Amber is going to have much self realization when she leaves. I think she is going to continue to think she is one of the good people, has a personality off the charts and everyone loves her. I guess if that is what works for her, then all is good in Amber World.

If I thought Amber had a chance in a million that she would get the help she needs with this money, I might vote for her. But I can't. She's very much like Cowboy was in a lot of ways.
1. They both needed the money very badly.
2. The money could make a significant change
for the better in both their lives.
3. They would both blow $500K in less than a year on crap they didn't need and they would be left in debt because they didn't save any to pay taxes. Plus the money they didn't pay off on their bills because they thought "Hey, I've got $500K, I can pay this off anytime. I deserve a vacation first."

Nope, just can't be a part of the "Amber: From Rags to Riches to Even More Raggedy" story.

Tell Amber to quit crying so much over EVERY LITTLE ASS THING! Not to mention the fact that she "loves everyone"! Give me a damn break! How can you love everyone you just met?????

I prayed for Amber and was told since she is the most deserving, she can go see Dustin before Jameka.

If Amber has an agent like most of the other house guests probably do, she will make quite a nice sum of money on the post show appearances and activities. I watched a program on Bravo last year where an agent talked about how much money these reality show "stars" can make after they lose. A million is conservative if they are smart. Guess that's the key though, to know what you have and how to take advantage of it.

I seriously doubt if an agent would represent Amber. Nobody cares about her.

How can you love everyone you just met?

ROFL. In addition, how can you be so obtuse to believe that everyone who meets you absolutely reeaaallllyyy loves you sooooo much? I'm not kidding. You wouldn't believe it.

I agree, Twinkie. Who wants to see Amber? Promote her by saying, "See Amber -- see her cry live."

Based on what we have seen on the show and what we know of her, I'm not at all convinced that Amber has shown that she is a bad person. She may be misguided, she may have done and said some bad things and she may be trying to find her way right now but that doesn't make her bad.

Let's face it – BB is a very tough game for even the strongest people to play. There are not a lot of people who have not shown signs of breaking under the pressure. An example of one person who never showed any sign of breaking was Dr. Will but even a great player like Dani (BB3 and BB7) fell apart under the pressure.

Someone like Amber doesn't stand a chance in this environment. I don't have it in me to be too hard on her.

Well.. Like many of you, I do think Amber is fragile... and not extremely educated....

But at the same time.. I think she has a genuine love of her family. Which really is one of the most important things.

People have to remember... she is a recovered Drug Addict.. that takes guts and strength.

We also have to remember that she is in a highly unusual situation. In a strange house with strange people, and missing her family like crazy. She is doing this all on her own, where as I would assume she has plenty of people she can go to on the outside when she needs help... so being on your own... completely on your own, in an enviroment where you can't trust anyone.. can leave a person to act way outside of their box..

I'm not a huge Amber fan.. but she is human... and I don't think we are seeing the true her. Tho I have to say.. I do think she has a major crush on herself... :-O

I don't hate Amber, I feel sorry for her. She does not realize how her actions effect her. Perhaps it works in Amber world, but in my world she would not be very well respected.

I think Amber is ok. She is naive and misguided and has said and done some wrong things but I feel some actions were based on ignorance. I think BB has been mean in how they depicted her. Yes, she does continually cry and she doesn't know the meaning of many words but do we need to humiliate her? She does have a heart and she has shown some caring and compassion to others in time of need unlike many other houseguests. She did listen to Jen when she got back from her day out and hear Jen's side. The ONLY one to do that. She was also the first to hug Jen when it looked like no one was going to. I hope she learns from her experience in the house and I wish her and her daughter the very best in life.

I also feel sorry for Amber, I am afraid she will need much counseling after she gets out and sees/hears/reads what everyone has said about her.

Hopefully, she will realize some of the things she has said make her come off as racist and she will look inside herself and correct her behaviour

I would have no problem donating to a fund that was for an operation for the little girl.

Hopefully someone in Amber's immediate life/circle/community will be able to help her get on track.

I "cosign" that it is not a great idea to give recently-ex addicts a bunch of cash.

I don't think Amber has the faintest idea of what 'racism' is all about. She's not racist and she's not mean. She's simply ignorant and I mean that in the nicest way. She's parroting what she's been taught and doesn't have the sophistication to be more analytical about how SHE personally feels because she copies the attitudes of those around her. I hope she learns a lesson when she gets back into the real world and will become her own person. I'm afraid she's in for a rough time for a while, though.

Amber talks about how selfless she is, always thinking of others before herself, but I prefer to judge people by what they do rather than what they say. She would sell anyone else out in this game to get the money, just as they all would. I do find it odd that the only time she talks about this wonderful family of hers is when she says she would give them all the money, or she needs to swear on her daughter's life. To me, the whole thing is insincere and very strategic. Amber cares about Amber, she is a very self-centred person. Sadly, I don't see this experience as changing her at all. She will come out of the house and not deal with the public reactions to her. She'll just go on living in Amberland where she is sooooo nice and sooooo caring and sooooo pretty and has such a great personal relationship with God because she is such a wonderful, beautiful person.

Mameblanche:
There was some chatter about Amber's sister making an apology at the time it happened (after the Fox, etc. news items). The only (very long) link that I could find, for what's it's worth is:

Supposedly from Amber's myspace...but who knows.

Amber is an insecure child who quickly makes strong attachments to support her. Her saying that she's a nice and caring person might be more for her benefit than ours. Any recovering drug addict is carrying a huge burden of guilt for all the people they've hurt along the way and all the things they've screwed up. On top of that she seems to have lead a sheltered life where she categorizes groups of people based on what she's heard rather than experienced. She doesn't appear to be racist in the house with anyone that I've seen anyway. She gets on my nerves with all the breakdowns, but I think essentially she has a good heart.

From the time I learned about her quitting drugs, I have supported Amber on that issue. She may want to think about getting treatment to help her w/drug related issues. I mean this from the heart.

I know she is kicking herself for not getting rid of Eric when she had the chance. Now, she has no chance to win.

Actually.. Amber has said many many times that she thinks she could be America's Next Top Model... and not in a joking way. She asked Jameka if she thought so too.. and Jameka was very polite to say she couldn't see it that way, but that she would be a good motivational speaker. (Another of Ambers aspirations).

Amber has had a high self esteem about her appearance. I think Dicks comments about her being fat has gotten to her tho... which KILLS me that anyone would think she is fat.. come on now.. LOL...

I would kill to be that fat then.. LOL

Sorry.. just wanted to add... That I get what you mean about her being average... I agree with that 100%... Tho Amber does aspire to be a model.. in general, she is someone who you would have in your neighborhood... in anytown USA... so I agree on that...

I realized my post might sound wrong... wanted to clarify
