Whoa, that’s gotta be a record -- it’s the second week of ‘The Real World: Sydney,’ and already two of the contestants have completely morphed into each other.

Shauvon: Long hair, with blond highlights on top, dark underneath. Busty. Lots of eyeliner. Dumped her fiance just before taking off for Australia.

Trisha: Long hair, with blond highlights on top, dark underneath. Busty. Lots of eyeliner. Half-dumped her boyfriend almost immediately after arriving in Australia.

And, as it turns out, both jump right into the Down Under dating scene with some Aussie blokes. (For the record, it was the guys in the house who were the first to make a ‘Thunder From Down Under’ joke.)

Shauvon, belatedly, had the realization that this ‘Real World’ thing is on TV, and had a tearful freakout in the confession room about making out with another guy so soon after her breakup. And, no surprise, Trisha had a similar meltdown after her smoochy boochies, e-mailing her ex-boyfriend with the classic ‘Friends’ ‘We were on a break!’ defense.

All the hooking-up drama, however, was almost eclipsed by Parisa, who had to be carried home on Dunbar’s back after two glasses of wine.
