DESCRIPTION:
(from MTV's web site, March 2009) 12 hot straight guys and 12 sexy lesbians fight for love in an epic battle of the sexes-with a twist. Instead of trying to capture just one heart, they'll be gunning for beautiful bisexual TWINS! Sexy blonde twins Rikki and Vikki, known as the Ikki twins, are teaming up to look for love. The sultry sisters have each had a rocky romantic road so far and they're each hoping this experience will finally help them find "the one." In the past these small-town girls have had their hearts broken by both men and women, and now each twin is looking to find her own special someone. Working together, Rikki and Vikki will put all the sexy suitors to the test. Taking reality dating shows to the next level, A DOUBLE SHOT AT LOVE with THE IKKI TWINS is an eight part series that pits men against women in a number of romantic challenges as they try to find love with one of the two gorgeous twins. Along the way the guys and girls will be pushed to the limit. Not only will they have to prove their love to the twins, they'll also have to live with each other. And with both Rikki and Vikki to vie for, there will be twice the jealousy and twice the drama.twice the hookups and twice the fun.and twice the chances to find love! Along the way, twists, turns and tension will keep the drama fresh and the action wild with each episode culminating in an elimination ceremony. Each man and woman will be fighting against one another to win over the hearts of the twins. And in the end, Rikki and Vikki each hope to find true love.
