Check out the http://www.cbs.com/primetime/survivor11/ page and read the bios for Cindy, Jamie, and Judd. All three have identical twins: Cindy/Mindy; Jamie/Ramie; Judd/Timmy. Could this be a twist of some sort???

Wallflower, I was just coming here to see if anyone posted about this yet. I found it very odd that they cast 3 sets of identical twins in a group of 16 Survivors. I wonder if somehow they're going to play in tandem or something? (Like the twins on BB for those who watched.) It definitely seems like sparks of some type of twist.

This can't be just a coincidence. Could be very interesting!

I think it'd be awesome if all 16 had "twins"

It would make sense, but when you look at it from a technical perspective, BB has a house so unless they have some ruin set aside for confessionals or whatever, they couldn't concieveably do it.

I think there must have always been a private place as all seasons have had "confessional" sessions. It seems to me very unfair if they are going to have "swapping" like on BB! If the "out" twin gets to eat normally, that is unfair to the other team as they are playing against someone better nourished. If the "out" twin doesn't get to eat at all, that is not fair to the twin pair as they are sharing one player's rations between the two of them!

Flexin' my Survivor muscle here....maybe it will work with Survivor...And in the commercial they've been previewing here...it ends with: "And if you're waiting for a surprising twist...there won't be one; There'll be TWO!" Or something to that effect.

Nick-I'm watching the reruns on OLN, and tonight's commercials for Survivor XI was that two favorite Survivors were coming back. The silhouette (sp?) looked like a bald guy (kinda like kill-the-pig-Mike) and a long straight hair woman. FWIW, maybe the twins thing is the other twist. Hope not, cause the "switch the twin" didn't work in BB. If I may be so bold, I thought it su**ed canal water. lol

I thought the twist was that rather than ONE former survivor, there will be TWO!!! The way it's worded makes me think that the only twist is the former survivors. Jeff P said that the twins had nothing whatsoever to do with this survivor and it was just a coincidence that there were several people who happened to have twins. Jeff usually doesn't lie outright, but hedges if there's a secret he's trying to hide.

Mama you are right! Bobby Jon and Steph are the "not one but two twists" so far. Very strange with the sets of twins though. But, the way many families I know are made now a days, I won't doubt that the twin thing will be some thing normal in 15-20 years. How many of us know of couples who went through procedures and ended up with Twins or Trips?

UG, no more twins on a reality show! The twins on BB were enough to turn me off. My fast twin fantasy is ruined forever!!!

Ketchuplover~ I have an off topic question for you. I was reading tvch at work one day early in the summer and one of my co-workers looked over my shoulder reading (wasn't a BB fan). The post she read said something like...I will never post here or I will never watch this show again. All summer this co worker keeps asking me so... did you see that guy yet. I kept telling her I couldn't remember the name but I thought it was ketchuplover and I hadn't seen that name but I kept seen K9lover so I thought I had it mixed up. Now I see your name here and I need to know - - -Was that you and Have you been around BB????

Chy, though fraternal twins (two separate eggs sharing a womb) are becoming way more common due to IVF, identical twins (one egg splits into two individuals) remain a random occurrence. Still pretty rare. I do agree that fraternal twins will probably be very common in a few years (in fact, even now when I see two babies I wonder if they used IVF), but unless they figure out a way to split an egg after fertilization, identicals should remain a rarity. OT: Did you read about that couple who were expecting twins (IVF) and both eggs split into two, so they had two sets of identical twins? Yikes! Talk about getting more than you paid for!!!

I don't think Survivor would be "jumping the shark" already, with a twin twist. It's the most successful reality show franchise ever, and is still going strong.

Anyone have a photo of former Survivor members with the vehicle they won yet? That could lead to actual stalking. I'm a little surprised by that contest.

If Survivor's Margaret has any connection with BB6's Maggie, it goes to show Maggie came by her ugly attitude on her own, because Magaret seems so nice. I think she took a lot on her shoulders helping all those sick men. If that was Maggie in her place, she probably was the one that made the men sick and wouldn't help them because she wants MONEY. lol

I was just reading an article on another site about a conference call with Jeff Probst discussing the new season which stated this: <<Jeff dispelled rumors that twins of the castaways will participate in the game. Even though twins do play a major role in Mayan culture which could play a role in challenges, Jeff claimed, “In terms of twins specifically, we didn’t know we had all these twins until we cast the show.” >> http://www.realitytvmagazine.com/blog/2005/09/jeff_probst_tal.html So much for that being a twist.

But then again, I found this on Survivor Fever: Question: Looking at the cast biographies, 3 sets of twins. Twins figure really big into the Mayan culture. Is there anything about that in the show, do the challenges incorporate twins in anyway? JP: You know alot more than anyone else has brought up. There is folklore about the twins and gods. We already knew what challenges we were going to do related to Mayan culture. We do have some that are basically descendants of games that the Maya played. We modify them to make them into a Survivor challenge. How they built things comes into play. We didn't know that we had all these twins until we cast the show. We toyed with it. How could we incorporate it.
