Hello all,
I watched many of the episodes in the series (I hope they decide to film some more) and found the twins to be an incredible inspiration. They were dealt a terrible hand in life but as the show indicates they don't let it stop them from enjoying life as much as possible.
During the show they discussed many of the challenges they alone face and that they share a body from the waist down but they are two unique individuals. For instance in order to get thieir driving license (yes they do drive) they both had to take the drivers test. Presumably even if one of them failed the other would not be able to drive. In order to do anything they want to do they have to agree and coordinate since one twin controls one leg and one arm and the other the other leg and arm. To learn to walk as well as drive took a lot of patience and coordination. They came to some agreement as to who controls the blinker and who presses the accelerator and brake. As for airplane rides or even movie tickets since they take one seat they get charged only once. In school they wanted to take seperate courses but eventually agreed on main degree.
In spite of their enormous challenge its the only life they have known and they are conjoined for life. What struck me about the show is how 'normal' the two woman are. In fact it might be a reason why they may not renew the show. Other than the fact its one body with two heads they're just normal young woman. The show would probably get renewed if they started dating (at the time the show was on they had no romantic interests). It would seem to me the only practical way would be for them to agree would be to date one person or remain single the rest of their lives. It would seem inconcievable that they would date or get involved with two partners.
