I've never seen any episodes of this series, in fact never, prior to now, realized the series existed.
I've sought out the TMDb page for it as a set of twins, Bill and Joe Smith, who appeared in S3 have been reported to have committed suicide together, found hanging in a tree.
Here's the Variety article about the awful tragedy.
RIP.

I did watch some episodes now and then, but it was never really more than just another reality show with its obligated overacting drama. It's sad to hear of the death of the twins.
R.I.P.

I can only imagine how their parents (if they're still alive) and family members must feel, losing them both together like that. And how horrifying it must have been for whomever found them!
My brother-in-law, 3 or 4 years ago, while driving back and forth to work on a few consecutive days just before Halloween, daily noticed what he took to be a life-size stuffed dummy hanging from a tree in front of a house that was pretty far back off the road (this is in a rural area). Come to find out, that was a man who'd hanged himself; everyone (my brother-in-law included) had daily been driving past, to their usual destinations, nonchalantly assuming it was a great stuffed Halloween decoration, therefore no one reported anything as seeming at all out of the ordinary!
When the man's body was eventually found, it was something like 3 or 4 days after he'd killed himself. Terrible.
