I've never watched the show, either. In fact, I didn't even know they had a show. I think those are very valid questions indeed!
I saw part of an interview with them on some talk show once. By what I gathered, an older child is assigned to a younger child. I got the impression that the older one pretty much raises the younger one for eighteen years. Not exactly fair, IMO, to make little parents out of children.

"All that is gold does not glitter, Not all those who wander are lost; The old that is strong does not wither, Deep roots are not reached by the frost. From the ashes a fire shall be woken, A light from the shadows shall spring; Renewed shall be blade that was broken, The crownless again shall be king." - J.R.R. Tolkien
