Liz and Marie Canavan, both 23, are former ocean lifeguards and recent University of Kentucky graduates who hope to use their twin powers to their advantage. "We are pretty much the same person. Don't even bother saying which of us said what," one Canavan told PEOPLE. "We work better together," said the other. "It's like a marriage – but we didn't get to choose."
