Shola & Doyin

Despite their incredibly close relationship, identical twins Shola and Doyin haven't really traveled together much, so neither knows exactly what to expect during THE AMAZING RACE.

They decided to team up for the Race partly to put their relationship to the test. Shola adds, "The idea of being able to travel all over the world, while competing on a worldwide stage for $1 million, and to do it all with my twin brother, is way too enticing for me to pass up." Going into the Race, both feel that the experience will strengthen their relationship.

QUESTIONAIRE

What strengths and weaknesses do you bring to the Team?

SHOLA: My best attributes are that I'm normally extremely cool under pressure, and I have very strong interpersonal skills. My major weaknesses are that I don't speak any other languages and I have absolutely ZERO international travel experience, so it could get pretty ugly out there.
DOYIN: I'm more uptight than Shola is, and that can be viewed as both a strength and a weakness. It helps to get things accomplished in a timely fashion, but it can be annoying for Shola to deal with.

What strengths and weaknesses does your teammate bring to the Team?

SHOLA: Doyin can be very impatient and sometimes a little bossy (as much as he's not willing to admit it!). But besides that, his strengths as a teammate far outweigh his weaknesses.
DOYIN: Shola can be a little too laid back for my tastes, but he is a great leader and for the most part he's usually right in the decisions he makes.

What is your favorite film?

SHOLA: The Shawshank Redemption
DOYIN: Training Day

What is your favorite TV show?

SHOLA: 24
DOYIN: 24

Who is your favorite actor?

SHOLA: Morgan Freeman
DOYIN: Denzel Washington

Who is your favorite actress

SHOLA: Denise Richards
DOYIN: Cameron Diaz

What is your favorite band?

SHOLA: A Tribe Called Quest
DOYIN: A Tribe Called Quest

What comfort item from home will you miss the most?

SHOLA: Cable TV
DOYIN: My Bed

Okay If I havta pick a team I'm gonna go with the Twins!!!

They seem pretty good guys and seem to be doing okay. I just hope they get ahead to win!

I was wondering when one of them (LOL I don't know which one) got hurt.

So far they've always made it. This last episode I was talking to the TV saying "Where are the twins!!!" I hope they make it out of the second group and into the first!!

I thought these guys were going to do great because of their togetherness, but I am now wondering if they have enough travel savvy to pull it off. I hate that they took the FF so early in the game too - I don't think that was good strategy!

true tnt but the one twin could hardly walk what with being run over and all. i think if that didn't happen then they would have just went the regular route that everyone else did.

I like them a lot,but really they are like watching a bad AR2 parody! They managed to not get injured this week,but fell to the middle of the pack after starting in first.
They seem so disorganized,and not really in a hurry.They really don't have what it takes to win.

Just saw them on the Early Show.. they gave no real spoiler info.. but did explain that they were stuck in the sand for HOURS! And they confirmed that taking that train in Capetown was their huge downfall.

They talked (when asked) about the time at the winery and the drinking and it seems that all of them had to share a large room, so the swearing and such that bothered the Revs was something that the Revs couldn't get away from.. I guess when Cyndi asked them to stop and they just rolled over her.. Shola said the "F-bombs" were constant.. then finally Russ stood up and told them they were disrespecting his wife and him and so on.. and it got very quiet. They were at the winery for 36 hours.

Shola is the one with the earring.. CBS actually wanted them to wear gold initial necklaces.. they just roll their eyes talking about THAT.

They are absolutely adorable and I cannot IMAGINE that they wouldn't be snapped up somewhere.. guess they want to do doublemint gum.

I'm bummed that they are gone.

Square, you are absolutely right.. they took the FF when they did because one of them had a hurt foot.

i felt so bad for them, first when they got to the truck and it was a stick shift and on the wrong side, then when they were lost, and then when they got stuck. i really liked them, they seemed like good people. now i don't have a favorite anymore. i just hope that will doesn't win 'cause i don't like him. i like her(can't think of her name) but not him.

Me too... I really liked the twins, wanted them to win. It seemed like they just didn't have the competitive spirit of the others though, took everything in their stride - admirable qualities in life but unlikely to make you win a race like AR2.

I also don't have a favourite anymore now they're gone.

Is everyone else getting Rosie reruns this week? I am and it blows. She usually has the person on the day after they are last and I had a rerun in my area today as it has been all week.

In an article in reality news online, one of the twins was asked who they would have liked to been paired with and Shola said WIll. Will is really competitive.

Iluvchoc- It was her birthday last Friday so she got a week off from filming, that's why they showed reruns.n
