Amber Siyavus was a houseguest on Big Brother 8.
Amber was one of the houseguests who were tormented frequently by Dick Donato. She was known for being religious, and for her frequent crying, which lead to her being given the nickname "Whamber" by Big Brother fans. She was ultimately evicted in Week 8 by a vote of 3 to 1 finishing in 7th place and becoming the third member of the jury.
