Abigail and Brittany Hensel Get Their Own TLC Reality Show

Conjoined twins Abby and Brittany Hensel have been on Oprah, were in Life magazine, were the stars of a totally Photoshopped picture one of them giving a beej while the other one sort of hung out, and now they're FINALLY getting their time under the reality show spotlight thanks to you know who: TLC. The hole that burned into my heart when Lori & George stepped out of the spotlight has now been filled with Abby & Brittany.

TLC's cameras follow the 22-year-old two-for-one twins as they begin their post-college life and take a trip to Europe. Yes, Abby and Brittany look happier than all of us and their story is pretty inspirational, but since we're mature adults who constantly ask tactful questions, we're all wondering the same thing: "How many coochies do they have? Who gets to have the orgasm? If one swallows, will the other one spit it back up?" Well, Wiki answered some of my questions.

Each twin has control of one side of their body and sense of touch is restricted to her side of the body. Wiki gets extra detailed by listing how many organs Abby & Brittany have:

2 heads
2 spines merging at the coccyx and joined at the thorax by sections of ribs. Surgery was employed to correct scoliosis.
2 completely separate spinal cords
2 arms (originally 3, but rudimentary central arm was surgically removed, leaving central shoulder blade in place)
1 broad ribcage with 2 highly fused sternums and traces of bridging ribs. Surgery was employed to expand the pleural cavities.
2 breasts
2 hearts in a shared circulatory system (nutrition, respiration, medicine taken by either affects both)
4 lungs with the medial lungs moderately fused, not involving Brittany's upper right lobe; three pleural cavities
1 diaphragm with well-coordinated involuntary breathing, slight central defect
2 stomachs
2 gallbladders
1 liver, enlarged and elongated right lobe
Y-shaped small intestine, which experiences a slightly spastic double peristalsis at the juncture
1 large intestine with one colon
3 kidneys: 2 left, 1 right
1 bladder
1 set of reproductive organs
2 separate half-sacrums, which converge distally
1 slightly broad pelvis
2 legs

And now TLC is the only channel I need in my life thanks to Honey Boo Boo Chile and now Abby & Brittany. And if you're a pair of pregnant redneck conjoined teen twins who are former child beauty queens and own a cake shop that caters only to little Amish people, call TLC, because your dream of being on The Soup every week can come true!

Also I think it is sad that now in the 21st century, the only option for these twins is in a freak show at the circus (AKA TLC).

Same option as 150 years ago.

Exactly! The parents won't let doctors do tests to see how their bodies function but do let cameras follow them around because it is a (TLC) documentary.
Fifteen years ago the top freak show was Jerry Springer.

There were a couple of specials, I think on TLC, that documented them when they were young, say 11 y.o. It wasn't a reality type of program at all - more of a serious look at life conjoined and totally fascinating. They were happy and bubbly. I can't believe they're in their twenties. WTF, I'm old. If I can remember to, I'll watch this.

I couldn't see the video but I had to YouTube them. They seem normal and happy.

So many questions so little time. All I can say is I'd hate to be the one with my head constantly to the side, that looks so damn uncomfortable. I'd also be really pissed, and hating my parents for not aborting us. As it is I hate that my parents gave me hard to manage curly hair.

For Lori, and Reba Surviving birth is a once, and two million chance...wow lucky them. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7pR2uWhAkaQ

I know, I know! Like all of you I'm going to hell in a hand basket too!

They should totally hook up with Two-Bad, from He Man and the masters of the universe

Not sure how to feel here. World is a cruel place, especially when one steps outside of their accepting circles. Anyone who has had a special needs individual in their family knows wtf I am speaking of. Live and let live though. Kudos for their spirit and family.

If a guy has sex with them does it count as having a threesome?

LisaRose's picture

I can't believe they are 22 already. What MK said is true... they look happier than most of us put together so they must have some greatness to learn from. I know I'll be watching for that alone. I know I watch Tia and Tamera's show because I love how they get along so well even though they don't think they do.

DP, so I'll ask 3 questions... How much is TLC paying them? How will they divide the windfall? Do they ever want to commit fratricide?

What if one wants to nap and the other doesn't? Who decides bed time?

Do they get mad because neither one can make a dramatic exit when they fight with each other?

Which ones changes the tampon?

Is one tidy and one messy?

Who chooses the clothes if they have different tastes in fashion?

What if one of them doesn't want to answer the phone?

If one is having sex, is the other one cheating?

If they play tennis, are they doubles or singles?

So many questions...

-------------

Mark Twain wrote a story about conjoined twins and he also raised some questions, including:

The twins got on a train, but only one had a ticket. Arresting/detaining/imprisoning/punishing the one without the ticket was violating the rights of the other one. What to do?

(Did they need two tickets anyway? What if each said "The ticket is mine"?)

Isn't sex with either/both of them super kinky no matter how it is done?

(OK Mark Twain didn't ask that last question)

Agreed! and to think at one time TLC had a great show on called Trading Spaces.

I've been sort of following these girls since they were about seven and there was an hour-long special about them. All I could think was WHY? Why did these parents continue the pregnancy because these poor girls will die soon. I mostly forgot about them until I saw another special when they were about 12 and I was shocked they were still alive and thriving.

I think they enjoy the attention and the fact that they are TV stars and this new reality show is just up their alley. There will be DRAMA and there will be TEARS and . . . well, you know. I can't wait to watch, at least for a little while. I used to like watching that reality show about the dwarf family but then I started to recoil from them. The same thing will probably happen with these girls but at least they aren't attached at the head like Lori and Dori.

P.S.: I try not to think about any of the sex stuff. Gross!!

I am just going to go ahead and REPORT errbody on this thread, including myself.

I was reading somewhere yesterday (Gawker? I'll try and find the link) that Brittany is engaged. Just Brittany. How does THAT work? And if Abby was to get a boyfriend/girlfriend how would the sleeping arrangements work? The sex? What if Abby hated the fiance but still has to have sex with him? So many questions....

SandwichQueen -- "I look normal but I'm 12 kinds of crazy" -- wow, I could be talking about myself right there. I love your new avie, but I loved your old avie, too.

I hate to say this, but does anyone else find Abby & Brittany disturbing to look at? I'm totally sensitive to their disability, I truly am, but man, it's just hard to take in.
