It is a fact the farther north you go, the more pronounced the nasal accent becomes. Upper Michigan, Wisconsin, Minnesota and Canada all have similar accents. I'm from Milwaukee and we sound the same as people from Chicago. Accents are very regional!

Eliz87 - I'm from Michigan - I don't think my accent is nasal either. But - I have to admit, when I lived outwest for several years, lots of people told me I had a nasal mid-west accent. You often can't hear your own accent.

I don't see any resemblence to the chick from survivor.

And I only thougth that folks in wisconsin had a nasal accent in the cold and flu season, guess I was wrong, huh?

Sorry to rain on the regionalism parade, but it depends a lot on the size of your nose! lol

Jbfrommi -- follow the link provided by Jazzzy. It's not Erika who has the twin, it's the two blondes pictured separately, Kristi and Christy (did their parents really name them this??).

*Nasally/Canadian accent*? We thought you guys were the ones with accents!

Heh heh heh (d*mn, I gotta find some emoticons soon!) (where's a Maple leaf when you need one?)

Justshirley, why would Stuff say that in the email then? These are their exact words:

Bar Shots!
What goes great with hot girls and booze? TV, of course. And that’s why our Bar Shots features the lovely Erika from TV’s Big Brother 4. And she’s posing with her twin who is—get this—equally as hot!

p.s. I still have the email and double checked it.

~~ "lovely Erika from TV’s Big Brother 4. And she’s posing with her twin who is—get this—equally as hot!?"
doesn't that say both twins are pictured ? Actually, I think your e-mail had the typo.

Photo on right: (clockwise from left) Tami, Erika, Jen, Fontaine and Karen from the Balboa Lounge in Los Angeles.

Twin bartenders Kristi and Christy mix up the perfect tailgating punch—just in time for football season. (They had, like, two minutes.)

But wouldn't next years BB be crazy if it was all identical twins & triplets ?

Jazzy, he couldn't have been talking about the other twins, cause he said: her twin who is equally hot. I'm tempted to write them and ask if it was a mistake and if not, which one is Erika's twin.
