Early life
Natalie and Nadiya were born in New York City to a Tamil father and a Sinhalese mother, but grew up in Sri Lanka during the Sri Lankan Civil War. Before participating in their first season on The Amazing Race, both had moved to Edgewater, New Jersey. Natalie was studying physical therapy while Nadiya was a project coordinator for Bridge2Peace, which is an American educational charity operating in Sri Lanka.
The Amazing Race
Natalie and Nadiya first participated in the 21st season of The Amazing Race, where they called each other "Twinnie". The Andersons won two legs during the season, but were eliminated in 4th place in the second-to-last leg. They returned in the 24th season All-Stars competition, but were eliminated in the first leg of the race.
Survivor
Natalie and Nadiya appeared as contestants on Survivor: San Juan del Sur. The twins appeared on a season that used the Blood vs. Water theme, which pitted nine pairs of loved ones against each other. Natalie was placed on the Hunahpu tribe, while Nadiya was on the Coyopa tribe, as the season's theme was pairs of loved ones competing against each other on opposing tribes. Nadiya was the first contestant eliminated from the competition. Natalie remained in the game, making it into the merged Huyopa tribe, and won three reward challenges, one individual immunity, and was exiled twice. Natalie ultimately made it into the Final Three and was voted by the jury in a 5–2–1 vote as the Sole Survivor, winning the season's $1,000,000 grand prize.
