'''Ruth and Esther''' are the two fembots that wrestled in the petroleum oil as a Robanukah tradition during Robanukah 3010, even though they ended up wrestling for 500 million years. Apparently, as they wrestle, there becomes less and less oil, so that the oil doesn't last forever. Maybe Bender just assumed that, which would account for the oil lasting 500 million years.

Ruth and Esther are two nasty Fembots, according to the crew, that Bender invited to an audition for the traditional oil wrestling of Robanukah 3010, which would be performed in the headquarters. [6ACV13] They agreed to do it, even though they still wanted to get paid, and the wrestling lasted 500 million years. Ruth and Esther also participated in "The Robanukah Song".

Ruth later appears in minimal size in "Benderama", tricking a small Bender into purchasing her services, only to have him killed by a mousetrap.

Ruth, Esther and Bender were to have an orgy, but they were disrupted by a glowing Fry. Ruth and Esther later mocked Bev, who responded by spraying them with soda water. [7ACV01]
