MTV Remote Control Blog › Amanda

Suitcases loaded for what looked like another trip abroad, each of MTV's Exiled stars to date showed up at our Times Square studio on October 31 with a mission to outshine the others. There were curling irons and flattening irons and lip gloss in every color of the rainbow. There were Louis Vuitton bags slung over bronzed shoulders, Sidekicks blowing up left and right and impromptu fashion shows of slutty sexy Halloween costumes brought along for their post-taping trip to a local haunted house.

Nervous laughter and fake smiles filled the Green Room before the girls (and guy) hit the stage for Exiled 's first Reunion Special ever! Check out our behind-the-scenes pics from the event and make sure to tune in tomorrow at 1pm to see what went down in front of the studio audience...

During rehearsal the cast wear their cozy clothing. Lots of pink!

Bjorn and Alex help each other with hair and makeup. These two appear to be total besties!

Cher gets a little wardrobe help from a friend. Later on she suggests the most brilliant idea ever: "When are we going to do a Real World: My Super Sweet 16?"

On last night's Exiled, we watched as prissy princess-y Amanda packed up her hairdryer and high heels and headed for the remote regions of Kenya. And while she was, ostensibly, there for a "reality check," she couldn't possibly have known that she would be foregoing showers, living in a hut comprised of cow dung, hiking four miles to retrieve fresh water and watching her food get disemboweled right in front of her.

And while the former My Super Sweet 16-er got off to a bit of a rocky start, we think she ultimately fared quite will, given the extent of her culture shock, self-professed xenophobia and generally sheletered pre-Exiled existence.

But, as always, we want to hear what you guys have to say. Now that you watched the show, read Amanda's diary, and listened to her post-show Q&A, what do you think? Did Amanda came away from Africa with a completely different perspective? Plus, how well would you cope if you were suddenly packed up and shipped off to a scary foreign country...with no air-conditioning, plumbing or even electricity?
