7/16/04 As was finally revealed last night - Adria is switching places with her twin Natalie.  Last night they switched again making the 4th "switch."

Here are the details as explained by Julie Chen as to how the twin swapping has been working.

The twin that is not in the house is secluded and eats the same diet as those in the house.  They do not see what is going on in the house when they are not in it.

When they switch placaes, they only have 15 minutes to exchange information.  Now while this is what Julie said - I find it hard to believe - the other HG's have noticed that "Andria" has been spending more time in the house than other HGs - 15 minutes would not be noticed by the others so my guess is there is a bit more information exchange going on than was stated.

Julie also said that halfway through the show, if "adria" is still in the house, Natalie will be allowed to join the show (Natalie reported the time frame as "after 5 weeks").

Here are the 4 "switches" as shown Thursday night - no specific days were given and I am not even sure which day each switch occurred.
 

For those of us watching the feeds - Natalie was in the house for sure last Friday night - she goofed and called herself Natalie.  And on Monday some net viewers actually saw a switch.
 

I can't fathom how either girl will have a chance of winning - even if Natalie is allowed in - the other HGs will feel the two will be biased towards each other - you can't have much of a more loyal person to vote you to win than a sibling. I would look for a big uproar in the house if "Natalie" is officially brought in.

An un-answered question is will the HGs ever be told about the switch?  In season 3 the HGs watched the show when they were evicted.  That led to a bias against Danielle who took second.  To combat this in season 4 the voting HGs were sequestered once they were evicted.  I still can't see how Adria or Natalie stand a chance if either is in the final two - the bias against them will be too great.
