Well...it improved!

So the second episode of Make it or Break it was A LOT better if you ask me. The new gym that Lauren goes too seems to be 10x better at gymnastics then the Rock if you ask me. And then they have a stunt double do a triple twist off beam which was awesome...but it was cut together poorly with the actress "sticking it".
Whatever. well there's a new episode on tonight and who knows, maybe this one will be even better! I sure hope so. Oh and I love the little girl [Payson's sister] who came in like 17th and is now going to nationals. She's cute. I like her.
Oh and did anyone notice that emily kmetko looks an awful lot like haley graham from stick it? And there mothers look almost the same too. Hmmmmm.
Oh and i REALLY do not like kaylie's boyfriend. He's inconsiderate, A. and B, he's not even cute.
And Payson in real life, like the actress, is a ballerina! I had no idea! but she trains with the American Ballet theater. Coolness.
All around [hehe] I give the shows second episode 3 stars [out of 5] When the first show I would only give like 1 and 3/4 stars.

I agree that MIOBI is much better...and Denver had some better gymnastics going on. Episode 3 was extremely light on the gymnastics aspect.

And if you're an elite athlete (any sport), you're not going to a keggar a month and a half before nationals, but that's just me. Our high school track coaches would lecture us about prom and bein careful, not drinking, etc because it was 3 weeks before regionals.

Oh yeah and i love how it said "Gymnasts don't get their periods, not enough body fat" Way to spread negative stereotypes about gymnasts! And that's only true if your anorexic or super overly stressed!

Ohhh I know! Both episodes have had a negative stereotype that wasn't addressed appropriately at all...and this is in reference to Lauren throwing up her breakfast in episode 1. If they were going to discuss these issues seriously, fine. But if they're just going to act like they're an accepted and casual part of the sport, I have an issue with that.

yeah that was really upseting. Who are there informers? because all they seem to be doing is spreading rumors.
