My Strange Addiction Review!

This show has been on TLC for quite some time. I feel like it left the air for a really long time though. I honestly thought they had cancelled it, but it came back for the new year! I'm always fascinated lol. They had two brand new episodes (or three, but my DVR taped two). The first episode was about a woman who was addicted to "pony play". I had never heard of this before, but apparently its when someone dresses and acts like a pony, usually including their own trainer. The other subject was a woman who drank paint. At the end of the episode they usually tell you if the person is still addicted or not. Apparently the woman addicted to "pony play" didn't stop, so she was still addicted. The woman who drank paint got help though and eventually was able to kick it. The second episode was about a woman who was addicted to eating mattresses... She would eat it all off until the box springs were exposed! She was able to kick her addiction also though. The second subjects were a pair of twins who were roughly in their 50's. They were addicted to being identical. I found their addiction to be the most tiring of all the ones I've seen. They had to eat the exact same thing so they would weigh the same, they had to dress the same, finish each others sentences, everything had to be the exact same! They even worked in the same room, slept in the same room. They hadn't been apart for more than 20 minutes in 20 years. Just crazy. Of course the concern there is if something happened to one twin, the other wouldn't be able to function and would just be lost without the other. This show is really interesting though. If you think you're interested you should tune into TLC at 10/9c on Mondays!
