i think amanda is a v smart person with a very cool and unique personality! too bad that the rest of her team can’t appreciate it! go amanda!
I LOVE THIS SHOW :)
AMANDA IS AWESOME!
Umm…What’s been her favorite moment as editor-in-chief?
How did you deal with the fact that many of your editors didn’t like you and were plotting against you in several of the newspaper issues?
WHO????
Where is she going to college? Where are Adam and Alex? What would her dream job be when she is out of college?
why are ur class mates such idiots ?
i mean by the senior year u would think they would pick up on how not to talk like dits …
how do you deal with all the editors? how many of them are you actually good friends with? how did you react when you first saw yourself on “tv”? What do you plan on doing after you leave high school? AND is alex really that hot in person?
Amanda, do you go back and watch the show after everything happens? If so what were your reactions to the comments people said toward you?
You rock, Amanda! I wanna know where you learned all those hot moves you were working at the prom!
Amanda your awesome just FYI :]
Do you think it’d harder for all of you guys at the newspaper to get along? Because in the last episode (The one with prom) you guys seemed so happy in that ‘Wanted’ picture…but now it seems so different! Do you ever think you’ll be as close with them as you use to?
What did your teacher do to try to appease the rudeness of your co-editors?
What’s the full story about you and Alex? Who has had crushes on whom? How long have you been friends?
How do you deal with all the spinless cowards on the paper. These people are so hateful did their parents not teach them any morals. Glad you keep your head up don’t let them bring you down!
love you! who makes your purple glasses??
Ok i love the show. I have on staff at my college paper for 2 years now. I started calling my editor Amanda even though his name is Rich.
My Question is are the ratings doing bad and is that why there ending the season so soon, or was it like an eight episode thing? and, Will there be a season 2. Team Amanda *******!
my quesstion is: who does she have the biggest crush on based on the cast of the paper? &&&& why did she go get a nose job?
uhmmm..my question is if there will be another season of “the Paper”??
b/c I lovee the showw andd ur dog! <333333333333333333
Why is Giana such a raging *****?! Now that you’ve seen the show are you still friends with Alex?
amanda btw I LOVE you on the show , I’m a guy and would love to know if adam swings the other way cause no denying he is deff a cutie . :D
Where did you get your glasses? They are super cute!
AMANDA,
I didn’t think I would love the show, but I’m addicted.
I just wanted to know, who is your role model in journalism?
Love this show! amanda you rock!!
I love this show….my question for Amanda…..Was it hard watching the shows back and knowing how mean all of her classmates were behind her back….especially two-faced Alex??
Hey amanda!
what’s your relationship with alex right now?
are you guys friends or not.
(:
Amanda i love u on the paper how do u stay so happy and smiley after the other editors are so rude 2 u
hey amanda i love the show the paper anywho i was wondering if alex is such a good friend like you say he is then how come he shows a different side of him when your not around and is he still with that girl and is trevan and giana still together?!
amanda is my favorite! (next to adam haha)
- would it be weird if i friended you on facebook?
- does anyone act differently around the cameras?
- did MTV know you were going to be editor-in-chief to begin with? because you were narrating so it would have been weird if someone else got it…
- what has been your favorite aspect of this experience (being on the show, The Paper)?
- how did you get on the show?
- what do you want to be when you grow up?
I love the show Amanda…sooooo long ago I was on my high school newspaper and watching your show brings back good childhood memories.
But ANYWAY…
What are your future plans and do they include Journalism/communications?
How do you feel about people who seem to be your friends to your face turn around and talk **** about you when you arn’t around?
holy cow I can’t believe I missed or will be missing this. Why isn’t MTV labeled in the same class as HBO is. Theres nothing but homosexuals on that channel, it might as well be the homosexual channel, real nice programming you sickos
amanda is such a funny,sarcastic,and smart girl,with a great sense of fashion..
where do you shop for clothes and accessories?
Hi Amanda,
first of all, I think you are really beautiful.
Second, where did you decide to go for college after high school?
Where do you shop & what are your favorite brands?
Ask her why she let the other doofus do the front page when it’s her job.
Ask her that if she wanted to be Editor in Chief so bad– why isn’t she acting like one.
Ask her why she just sits around and lets everyone put together the paper while she just sits on her ass and watches with her mouth hanging open.
she annoys me….

If you could write for any newspaper in the world, which one would you write for?
I live in the same city and this was filmed over a year ago! All of these kids are already in college!
i LOVE this show - and Amanda you are really classy.
I wondering about the production of reality shows…
- What was the process of agreeing to be on an MTV reality show?
- Do you feel like the editors/producers cut certain scenes or encouraged certain conversations in order to create drama?
- Did you have any qualms while filming about being put on tv for the whole world to see?
- Do you feel like people were accurately portrayed?
Either way I think you’re really brave Amanda and just keep doing what you do!
how do you think your newspaper staffs compare to others across the country? what are your thoughts if someone told you that not all newspaper staffs are as dysfunctional as yours?
Hey Amanda! I totally think you’re awesome and misunderstood. Anyway, why is Adam such a diva. BTW…is he gay? Me and my friends all think so.
LMFAO!! Who cares about her??
No one cares about the teenagers on MTV with their pointless shows.
MTV is Killing itself with all this stupid shows, who wants to sit there and watch a show about high school kids and their school newspaper???
Are you out of your freaking mind?
Do people really have no lives?
I would like to say, first off, that i adore Amanda and don’t see why her staff is so rude. Amanda takes the paper seriousely, that doesn’t make her a bad person.
anyway,
my question is…. Amanda, Why haven’t you slapped Giana yet? She is a complete idiot and b*tch. How she has any friends is beyond me.
I have that dress. :)
Uh… no one cares about this chick.
Alex is mad ugly.. how anyone thinks he’s remotely attractive is beyond me.
I love your style and hair Amanda.. the glasses are very cute.
what was it like to be getting filmed everyday of your life was it hard or it was like no bigeg
Omg , I love you!=]
If you could write for any newspaper or magazine in the world, which would be your choice?
why you did a nose job?
aww she looks cute there!!

is she crazy??
Hey Amanda- I just want to tell you I write for The Circuit at my highschool as well. Also, I have been selected as editior for next year! I am super excited.My question is do you have any advice for new editors like me? Thanks a lot. Keep it up! : )
Alex and Giana are douches! Have you spoken to any of them since the show?
I’m sorry but i personally dislike you and agree with all the **** the editors say about you. Would you say your a loser or popular?
no offense but I think you know what I think you are.
okay YOU ARE NOT AN EDITOR IN CHIEF you dusche
you just sit on your ******* ass all day while everyone else does their jobs
and Alex does yours
personally I HATE YOUR GUTS homo
I’m going to be editor-in-chief of my high school paper in August and I was wondering if you had any advice on how you dealt with staff you didn’t get along with or ilke. Thanks, your show is super addictive!
Haha ahh amanda!
You made that show hilarious! Seriously without you the show would pretty much suck.
So where did you learn to dance like that!? Wooo.
JK.
K the real question;
Do you still have the same type of realshionship with the people on the newspaper staff as you did during the show, or have you guys become friends?
Also i think some of the rude comments that people have been posting about “personaly hating you” its prob. some of the people from the staff like that one chick with brown hair, forgot her name since she wasnt really that important and was just a straight up bi t ch!
Hey Amanda, Love the show. I think your awesome as well. So here’s my question.
***********Why do you think people had a hard time being civil with you? I think there were alot of insecurities going on with your newspaper team. It’s sad to see that you gave them respect but that they couldn’t return it themselves. I think your a wonderful person and I love your attitude and postiveness on things!
Are you yourself, or anyone else, guilty of acting differently once the cameras started rolling?
ask her if she likes alex still
What do people at school think of you guys having your own show? Do you like being in the spotlight?
Do you think you will continue your career of writing and newspapers, etc.?
What her Myspace?whats Alexs? and everyone else’s???
First off; Amanda is the shiz!! I freaking love her sense of humor and way of attacking things. She has amazing patience to deal with the people she does and the way they treat her.
I too was editor of my school’s pape this year and had a butting of the heads with another editor and it ended up working fine but for a while we joked we were on The Paper. What I want to know is how has being on TV effected her life? Does she have people come up to her and say crazy-esc things to her? If so how does she handle it?
so this is one of my favorite shows and my question is…
Amanda, what was your reaction when you see people talking about you on the show??
*p.s. say hello to “Rowee” :)
I love this show! I started watching it yesterday. I think amanda is just awesome. Screw the others, even though I love Adam the drama queen! she’s definitly gonna get far in life. I like how she doesnt really let others bring her down, she continues trying. Her friend that is always with her is definitley a true friend. Giana is probably just jealous that she isnt capable to do all that Amanda does.
my question to Amanda is: Would you ever consider going out with Alex? in the future maybe? even though he was such an ******* to you?
and…how was prom!? hahah
HEY , I REALLY WANT TO KNOW WHAT ITS LIKE TO WATCH THE SERIES KNOW AND SEE HOW FAKE EVERYONE IS ESPECIALLY ALEX? ARE YOU HAPPY TO SEE HIS TRUE COLORS AND HOW HE LACKS AND SENSE OF CHARACTER?
adams gay right?
hi amanda,
i love how you are so optomistic, how do you stay that way knowing that the rest of the class really don’t like you??
I love THE PAPER and I just feel bad for the way you are treated, i feel like crying sometimes!
:(
but i really admire how you stay positive and you dont treat those who treat you bad the way the treat you!
ohh and i also love adam!
please answer!
Do you, or did you ever, have aspirations to go into theatre? (loved your Mr. Roboto youtube)
Whats going to happen to ‘The Paper’ when you all
graduate? Will it be over or will new people star in it?
Amanda is fabulous! SO WITTY!
do you realize that your show does not convey how a high school staff actually works, and is nothing like the long,enduring hours that many students have to go through. ?
i luvs this show
why do you think they dont like you? I think your really cool lolz
FIRST AND FOREMOST, amanda you are amazing and clearly a talented writer. My question is, after seeing the episodes and what your castmates have been saying about you, if you could gather them all into a room, what would you tell them?
Who was the hottest classmate throughout her time on The Circuit?
