Hall High Grads Reflect on Reality TV Stardom

Hall High graduates, and reality TV stars, Natalie and Nadiya Anderson will be back in Connecticut on Wednesday as part of a meet and greet at an “Amazing Race” casting call at Mohegan Sun.

The “twinnies” were part of the 21st season of “The Amazing Race” and also part of the show’s “All-Star” version in Season 24.

They have also competed on “Survivor” with Natalie becoming the million dollar winner on “Survivor: San Juan del Sur, Blood vs. Water” last year.

The now 28-year-old twins, and current New Jersey residents, recently had a Q & A with the Hartford Courant in which they talked about their time on the shows, becoming reality stars and what life is like now.

They also said that they visit West Hartford “all the time” and were in town at Thanksgiving.

“We always come to visit friends and hang around at the bars like Grants,” the twins told the Courant. “We went to our 10th high school reunion last year and that was a blast. Friends have followed our journey and we speak at schools in Connecticut where our friends from high school are now teachers. The kids are so into the reality shows. And it is so much fun to be recognized.”
