Known as the “Zinkerim” when they played pro football in Israel for the city of Tel Aviv, Cory and Adam have the physiques of superheroes. But these two college-educated entrepreneurs are more than the sum of their muscles. Although they spend an inordinate amount of time busting each other’s chops, the Zinkers have a very tight bond—so tight, they admit, that it often interferes with their ability to hold down relationships with women.

Rather than describe their dynamic in typical “A-twin/B-twin” terms, Adam says he’s the “dad” in the relationship and Cory is the “mom” although Cory is quick to point out that the mom calls the shots. Doubtless Cory and Adam will be physically dominating competitors, but will their frequent tendency to one up each other prove to be their Achilles heel?

It’s not easy getting a straight, non-sarcastic answer from either of these guys, nor is it easy to get them to agree on anything. The one thing they certainly can agree on is they love each other almost as much as they love themselves (which is a lot). This doesn’t stop them from competing and constantly trash talking one another.

Winston never misses an opportunity to harsh on Bennett’s taste in women (awful, he claims) while Bennett, when asked to rate how much more successful, sexual, and athletic he was than Winston, answered 6… on a scale of 1 to 5. The Butterfield twins say they plan to use dirty tricks and subterfuge to win this competition, and regardless of whether that proves effective or not, they are certain to drive competitors crazy with their constant heckling.

Fun Twin Fact: Their BFF’s are another set of identical twins!

Despite the fact that they aren’t in college, Torian and Tre are living the college dream-- sharing a townhouse with some buddies in an apartment complex filled with hot college girls and partying on the regular.

Tre is the younger and more focused of the two: he has a passion for photography and film and uses those skills to make money while he saves up to attend art school next year. Torian, on the other hand is a self-proclaimed 'ladies man' and master of the shirtless selfie. Air Force brats who moved a lot as kids, Tre and Torian are very adaptable and make friends easily-- except when it comes to basketball where they are insanely competitive.

Even though they fight like cats and dogs, these guys are very connected emotionally and physically in sync from years of playing sports together. Between Tre’s focus and determination and Torian’s… abs, the brothers are certain they will score both in the competition and with the female contestants.

Fun Twin Fact: Torian & Tre are the first twins in their family and their favorite celebrity twins are Tia & Tamera.

The Nick Brothers are definitely momma’s boys—and it’s a designation they actually take as a compliment. When the twins were 11, their dad hooked up with their neighbor and disappeared from their lives and their mom has been the center of their universe ever since. They are also Boy Scouts—literally and figuratively. Devoted members of the Eagle Scouts since their youth, the Nick boys are honest, good hearted, and yes, they’re virgins.

The one area where they aren’t nice guys is competition. As elite multi-sport athletes, they are known for their drive, passion, and ruthless pursuit of victory. They’re also one of the most tightly bonded pair of twins we’ve seen yet. They’ve never been apart for more than a few days—and hated every minute of their separation. In fact, they’re so attached that they want to marry another set of identical twins and continue to live together after marriage!

Fun Twin Fact: On a 75 question verbal quiz they answered 74 of the questions identically. Twinny!

Roxanne and Nicole are the definition of a love/hate sibling relationship. These “blonde” bombshells look so much alike that they based a business on it (they own a twin-themed bar) but when it comes to playing nice with each other all bets are off. It’s surprising that these two have chosen to own a business together when they can barely get through a single workday without a screaming match. Yet somehow they have learned to combine Nicole’s drive and intelligence with Roxanne’s work ethic to make their business thrive.

When it comes to competition, these ladies are rabid. They prefer to be on the same team because when they go head to head it usually ends in tears. Nicole may have a slight edge in brains but she also wins in temper. When she’s riled up she is as mean as a snake and her usual target is Roxanne, to whom she refers as a “a bobblehead.” Catfights aside, these girls are a unified team and since Nicole has no problem cheating to get ahead, the Frilots just might cat fight their way to victory… if they don’t kill each other first.

Fun Twin Fact: They have a younger sister who looks so much like the two of them that they often pass for triplets! The third sister also owns the bar with them.

Despite their identical faces, Shawn and Claire are easy to tell apart due to Shawn’s edgy haircut. Desperate to differentiate from her sister, Shawn shaved her head as a teenager and still has no regrets—except that she’s sick of people thinking she’s a lesbian.

Despite her entirely reasonable desire for a distinct identity from her twin, Shawn is extremely close with Claire, and the two run a successful fashion business together. Like many twins, one of them is more dominant than the other, but unlike other twins, the dominant role switches depending on the circumstances. When they are alone together, Claire is firmly in charge, but when they’re out in public, Shawn is decidedly the alpha twin.

Given that they seem to have one of the healthier twin relationships we’ve seen, Claire and Shawn’s ability to work together for a common goal may be their biggest strength. Although being smart, athletic, and hot probably won’t hurt either.

Fun Twin Facts - Their nickname for each other are Claire-Bear and Shawnie Bear. AWWW

It's hard to say which one of the Vicker sisters is the leader and which one is smarter--because neither will concede these points. But there are some differences they can agree on. For instance, Meyaka is the meaner twin, and also more grounded and by the books. She sees a future for herself as a computer engineer.

Mekeya, meanwhile, has more of a "YOLO" attitude and a pie-in-the-sky dream of becoming an actress. Unlike many of the twin pairs, the Vickers will be going into this competition with a plan--befriend their opponents and then stab them in the back!

Fun Twin Fact: Makeya was a teen mom and experienced no symptoms of morning sickness--instead, Meyaka got morning sickness even though she wasn't pregnant at the time!

Born in Ukraine, Kamila and Kristina came to America when they were just 4 years old but they still speak Russian and retain their sexy accents. Kamila writes a fashion blog and loves all things stylish and trendy, while Kristina is the more pragmatic twin, studying finance and accounting. Their dream is to one day own a boutique, pairing Kamila’s fashion sense with Kristina’s business acumen.

Kristina is also the more athletic twin, particularly excelling in basketball, while Kamila is a skilled dancer. Although they differ in many areas, they are both decidedly dominant competitive personalities who will do whatever it takes to win. In fact they will compete just as hard with one another as they will with anyone else—except where it comes to men—because they’d never let a man come between them.

Fun Twin Fact: They have twin mini-Huskies as pets!

These petite Nigerian beauties may live in DC but they are Jersey Girls at heart, complete with nails, hair and makeup. Their free spirits are in no way hampered by their strict, conservative Nigerian father.

Bolanle is the more aggressive and bossy twin and is currently pursuing her degree at Howard University. Bolaji, the feistier of the twins, graduated from Delaware State University and followed her sister to DC with plans to start a fashion business. Even though they are very close they fight hard and their last major conflict ended with Bolanle throwing her sister’s clothes out on the sidewalk!

These girls are scrappy and driven and believe their tiny size is an advantage because they are agile. Add to that their strong mental connection and they could be an unexpected force in the competition.

Fun Twin Fact: They don’t go on dates alone, if you take out one you have to bring them both!

These girls may be living in New York City but they are Long Island, Italian to the core. They were raised Catholic but their father was a devoted Hari Krishna and as a result Annamarie and Ginamarie have a unique view of the world-- for example, they are vegans but they still insist that you pronounce Ricotta and Mozzarella in the proper Southern Italian manner.

Even though they are super twinny and have never been apart for more than a week, they are at the point in their lives when they are beginning to establish their independence from one another. Annamarie spends so much time with her boyfriend that Ginamarie (who is single and very much on the prowl) has decided to move into her own apartment. If anything this choice will be harder on Annamarie because of her motherly, protective attitude towards her younger twin. Ginamarie is more easygoing and definitely the bigger party girl, although when not worrying about her sister, Annamarie tends to cut loose a lot more.

With their strong bond and athletic background (they played doubles tennis together and ran track all through High School) the Russos will prove to be fierce competitors.

Fun Twin Fact: Both sisters developed asthma after running away from a creepy double date that Annamarie got them into when they were studying abroad.

Taylor and Dylan are “mirror image twins” a rare variation where identical twins have a different dominant hand and hair that swirls in the opposite direction, among other things. As the eldest siblings in a family of 9 children in a financially strapped household Dylan and Taylor often felt pressure to pitch in and be responsible—which didn’t stop them from getting kicked out of their home for throwing a wild party. This lead to the Cash twins living separately for a year, which an experience they hope never to repeat. They now live together, work together and go to school together at East Carolina University where they are both studying Environmental Science.

Dylan is the more outgoing and aggressive of the two while Taylor is more laid back and breezy. They are so devoted to one another they decided that once they are married they will build houses side by side on a single piece of land! And as former wrestlers, they are physically fit, mentally tough, and hate to lose—all of which will stand them in good stead in this competition.

With their edgy looks and kinky proclivities, it would be hard to guess the long, difficult road it took for Josh and Chris to be the confident, independent men they are today. Not only have they achieved their slim physiques after drastic weight loss surgery but Chris was born with Cerebral Palsy and was blind until age 13. During that time Josh was his guide and protector, making their bond as twins even stronger. Once Chris regained his sight, he took over the role as the dominant twin… so dominant that he is in fact an S&M “Dom” known as Master Chris. Josh is the calmer, more responsible twin who handles things like bills, rent and anything organizational.

The downside of living together for Josh is that he is constantly being confronted with Chris sexual escapades since “Master Chris” likes to keep the door open while he is having sex—and poor Josh has seen many things he can’t unsee. On that note, they are constantly asked if they are gay, but in fact both brothers are straight.

They are both very competitive and will play dirty to win. They may not be the most physically dominating team, but their psychological game is sure to be top notch.

Fun Twin Fact: Chris is an amateur paranormal investigator among other things and he constantly cons Josh into coming with him on jobs so he can scare the crap out of him.

The cast isn't attractive but that is what I can appreciate. I hate shows where everyone is a model or gym rat. Maybe MTV should take notes so Real World and AYTO wouldn't be flopping like they are.

So Twinning is already casting for Season 2...
