Unplugged! - "Amber Award #2"

AWARDS UNPLUGGED: Where we take the Summer 2008 awards & break 'em down to "Tribe" references so you can see what each award refers to, then the defining moment that resulted in a character receiving this award.

"More Guts than Amber" Award
Don't get me wrong here. Amber had lots of guts & showed that constantly throughout the run of "The Tribe's" 5 seasons. But mostly she grew into that resolve & courage. In the early parts of Season-1 especially, she was still confused & finding her way, same as everybody else. She had to grow ... and she hadn't grown so much when Sasha came on the scene. I still have NO CLUE what the attraction was there - especially compared to Bray! - but obviously they had feelings for each other. They spent nights together & we were left to imagine what that meant. When all was said 'n done, when Sasha was leaving the city to see the world & find truths the city didn't offer, he asked Amber to come with him. She said "no." The obvious answer was she felt she "had a job to do" and couldn't abandon her tribe. Another answer might've been that she found it hard to leave the security & friends she had found, even if that was for love.

So from our game, we decided KRYSTAL, who was willing to take such a chance, truly did have more guts than Amber in the same situation. Well, almost the same. We're not sure love was involved, when Sid asked her to adventure with him & leave the city. But Krystal took a shot and left her tribe and city behind for a new place with Sid. That definitely took guts.
