To use one more strained metaphor, though, in TV competition, hitting the board properly - as this show slickly does - is often every bit as challenging as sticking the landing. Whether “Make It or Break It” can avoid its own wobbles and slips remains to be seen. The show also zeroes in on stage-parent politicking and all the pressure big-time athletics can place even on such spindly little legs. Not everything works - starting with the split-screen gymnastics footage - but there are enough juicy bits here to forge a solid foundation with plenty of plot tendrils. Make It or Break It is an American television drama that has been picked up for broadcast on ABC Family network in 2009. Casting the show’s “It” girls was probably half the battle, and they’re a good bunch who look convincing enough in leotards, with Hobbs and Scerbo proving niftily relatable and nastily “Mean Girls”-ish, respectively.

Shy and serious, Emily is nothing like her flaky mom (Ward), whose immodest attire inspires one of her peers to snippily ask, “Is that hooker her mother?”Ĭreated by Holly Sorensen, the pilot directed by Steve Miner briskly establishes all these interlocking relationships and the lengths to which the ruthless Lauren will go to preserve her dreams. Shaking up the status quo is Emily (Chelsea Hobbs), a wrong-side-of-the-tracks gal with her own Olympic ambitions.

“They’re not little girls they’re big business,” Lauren’s oily father says, underscoring the stakes involved, which lead to cheating, blackmail and bulimia - and that’s all in the first hour. Payson (Ayla Kell), Kaylie (Josie Loren) and Lauren (Cassie Scerbo) finished one-two-three in previous qualifying competitions, and there’s every expectation they’ll retain those rankings and move on to the next round in Boston. At the center is a trio of teenagers at “The Rock” gymnastics training center in Colorado - the springboard to the Olympics. Beginning with a title that sounds like the similarly themed feature “Stick It,” nothing about “ Make It or Break It” merits extra points for artistic expression still, it’s such an efficiently executed routine that it scores pretty well, with a serialized storyline that should pull the judges who really count (and I’m certainly not in that demo) along into subsequent rotations.Īlthough Peri Gilpin, Candace Cameron Bure and Susan Ward occupy key adult roles, the focus appears pretty squarely on the kids. S3 E3 - Time Is of the Essence Lauren's betrayal is finally revealed. S3 E2 - It Takes Two Kaylie gets paired with Kelly Parker. In the show’s finale, viewers found out that all four girls - Kaylie, Payson, Lauren, and Jordan - make the Olympic team, but because the show ended before the actual events, no one knew what really went down during the athletes’ performances on the mat.The high-pressure milieu of Olympic gymnastics is so ripe for a female-oriented network like ABC Family it’s a wonder we haven’t seen a show on the subject since Fox went the track-and-field route with “Push” in the ’90s. S3 E1 - Smells Like Winner Payson, Kaylie and Lauren are one step closer to their Olympic dreams. “It would be fun to wrap up every storyline, it would be fun to see what happened in every relationship, it would’ve been fun to just know what happened for sure.” Other sites like Yahoo music helped launched the Plain White T’s, and sites like YouTube offer an excellent platform for videos, and are debuted on a weekly basis. It really seemed like it would’ve been a fun thing to wrap up the show, and I had been planning that for the four years,” Sorensen continued. A blog like Brooklyn Vegan, one that is viewed by millions a month, can essentially make or break a new artist simply by featuring an artist on their homepage. Holly explained, “My dream was to have go to the 2012 Olympics. “When it got to the Olympic training center and the central question of the show was not answered, it was disappointing for a lot of fans.” “ would have to answer a singular question that was the driving force of the show - who’s going to the Olympics and who’s going to win?” she said at the time.
