According to Springfield, MO’s News-Leader, the Discovery Health Channel made an appearance at the annual Twins Days festival in Twinsburg, Ohio last August to audition identical twins for its upcoming reality show America’s Most Identical Twins Test. (check your local listings, but the show is supposed to run Sunday, March 12 and Sunday March 19).
But how much of a test could it be? Gee, judging from the picture in the News-Leader article, all the sets of identical twins look, well, identical. Reality TV must be running out of options if they have to test identical twins to see which set is, um, more identical.
Also, I don’t know about anybody else, but the last thing I need after this show airs is more people stopping and asking us everywhere we go whether our twins are identical, whether anyone can tell them apart, etc. Reminds me of a friend who has triplets — she got so tired of people asking her whether her triplet girls were triplets that she started to say, “No. They’re not triplets. They’re quintuplets. We just left the other two at home.”
