Jill and Amber are absolutely correct that their behavior is within the legal boundaries of the game, even if it's reprehensible. While their behavior might have been surprising, though, the backlash against them online has been anything but. Although Justin is also part of Alpha team's schemes, most of the ire has focused on either Jill, Amber, or both of them, often with some pretty overt misogynistic overtones.

Some of the responses are simply beyond the pale, so much so that Jill even took to Instagram to defend herself against the criticisms being hurled at her.

"You can’t see the truth for the drama!!! A game! A game show! Absolutely no one was EVER EVER in true danger! Wake the f--k up people. And no one else was smart enough to even move their pieces around the board, let alone win. I got outrun. Not outwitted, and sure as hell not outlasted!!!" she wrote.

Jill may have seemed like a villain on TV, but as she suggests, she never put anyone in any real danger. She was playing the game, and while the show may have turned her into a villain because of her willingness to get mean, that's hardly unforgivable behavior.
