And speaking of Hollywood, two recent alumni – identical twins no less – are players in (yes, another) reality TV series.

Shola and Doyin Richards '97 are one of the 11
two-member teams competing in The Amazing Race,
which premiered Monday on CBS.

The game goes a little like this: travel a course around
the world, compete in a series of mental and physical tasks,
and be the first team back to claim the $1 million prize.

The twins were both psychology majors, and members
of Sigma Chi and the basketball team.

“We share a close and powerful bond that most
people would be lucky to experience in their lifetime,” they said on
the CBS Web site. “We're more than just brothers; we're best
friends that share a bond that cannot be weakened by time, distance,
or any other outside force.”
