Rebecca Mary O'Donohue and Jessica Elleanore O'Donohue (born July 13, 1980) are American reality TV show contestants. Becky was a semi-finalist in the fifth season of American Idol. They are from Dobbs Ferry, New York.

Becky and Jessie, who come from an Irish and Greek family ^[3], graduated in 2003 from Niagara University. While at Niagara, the two played on the women's basketball team. Becky was a member of the NAACP SAC.

Becky's original audition on American Idol was in Boston where she was supported by Jessie (who didn't sing due to recent throat surgery). Judge Simon Cowell praised her looks, but said no to her voice. However, she was let through to Hollywood by co-judges Randy Jackson and Paula Abdul. O'Donohue made it through to the final twenty-four contestants in the semi-finals, but was the first female to be eliminated from the show when she received the fewest votes on February 23rd's results show. They briefly appeared on the American Idol season finale on May 24 via satellite from Birmingham, Alabama as commentators during Taylor Hicks' cheering rally.

Both appeared in a special "Twins" episode on Fear Factor where they were eliminated on the first stunt. The twins also appeared together in Maxim magazine in 2004. ^[4] They played twin sisters Darla and Donna in the 2007 comedy film I Now Pronounce You Chuck and Larry and Layna and Sophia on an episode of ER.
