Katie and Sadie (TDI-G&S)

Characterization
Katie and Sadie, the only two contestants who were acquainted before the competition began, are joined-at-the-hip buddies who are utterly interchangeable in almost every way. They are of different build and (apparently) ethnicity, but their tastes and temperaments are essentially identical. They have bubbly personalities, and are often heard squealing in delight at one thing or another.

Katie’s ethnicity is ambiguous. Her skin tone suggests that she could be Hispanic or native, but LeShawna  once identified her as “white”. Katie’s skin tone could be merely a tan; but if so, then where’s Sadie’s? (After all, they do everything together.)

Sadie is very fat, but her closest friend (the rail-thin Katie) is the only one who ever comments on her weight. Katie was the fifth camper eliminated, but Sadie managed to survive for five episodes—almost entirely in the background—after the trauma of their forced separation.
