At least, we think. Viewers have noticed that the show’s latest arrivals not only share names with some of the original boys (there’s now two Alexs and Jacks), but they look eerily similar, too.

And then there’s the similarity between Wes and Jordan…

There’s also Dean and Adam…

Will any of the new boys replace the old islanders? Will the Casa Amor girls successfully seduce anyone? And, most importantly, will we all remember their names before tonight's episode?
