The Ikki Twins

The Ikki Twins

“Identical bisexual twins Rikki and Vikki put their modeling career on hold to let twelve straight guys and twelve lesbians have their double shot at love.” Yes the ‘Ikki’ twins are twice the fun and double the trouble. One doesn’t have to see twenty-one contestants falter to realize what these two are all about. Tall, blonde, and flirtatious these two feed off each other’s antics to get what they want which is hopefully not the same person. http://www.mtv.com/ontv/dyn/a_double_shot_at_love/series.jhtml
The show is down to the final the best of the best. Rebekah, Scottie and Trevor have won the hearts of Rikki and Vikki and “everybody is falling in love with multiple people.” Doesn’t everyone wish they had this problem? To find their true love there are afternoon group dates that include dunne-buggy racing and a trip out on a party yacht. After that individual night dates ensue and one on one (or two) time gets everything out in the open. This particular episode is shot in Vegas and of course, is filled with lots of alcohol and debauchery.
The final three contestants include Rebekah a single mom who works as a bartender. She is ready to settle down and start a family and declares if they (the twins) aren’t in it for that they should send her home. Her individual date is fantastic and the twins both have feelings for her. She spends the night in Vikki’s room. Scottie, second in line for the individual dates, is a raucous frat boy type who is loud and the center of attention. He claims he is in the game for the competition and not love. His individual date is horrible because he is hung over and tired from hitting the bars the night before. The last contestant is Trevor who is a surfer/skater boy who is also in the lead (along with Rebekah) to win one of the twins heart. The order of who went first was determined by who could “suck and then blow” as many cards as possible. It is this kind of dirty, but innocent innuendos that make the show so addicting. The problem is he can barely tell them apart and he has equal feelings for both.
The show is geared for college-aged adults who might proclaim this show to be a “guilty pleasure.” Like most reality shows it seems very staged, but that can easily be overlooked because it is such a fun show to watch. Drunken antics, girl on girl action, and falling in love with multiple people are usually reserved for dorm party nights, but this show appeals to anyone with a fun side no matter how ridiculous the premise is. Jealously amongst the twins is a big issue as is telling the twins apart. If you are a conservative or not into free love or against hyper sexuality this probably isn’t the show for you. Morals fly out the window with every new scene. This show is more for someone light hearted, with a good sense of humor and able to handle twenty –something antics.
