ABC Family has a crazy new gymnastics series called Make It Or Break It. On the second episode, which aired last night, Payson (the blonde) and Emily ("some indie aging Hannah Montana type," according to her hot Pizza Shack coworker, who gives me a Christian-from-Clueless vibe but less gay) thwarted a group of scary gas station hecklers merely by tumbling towards them. It's officially ABC Family's best action scene in recent history…unless you're partial to the recent sorority dodgeball showdown on Greek.
Anyone else watching Make It Or Break It? Candace Cameron Bure (TV's Deej) plays the brattiest gymnast's dad's girlfriend, and Peri Gilpin (Roz from Frasier) is another girl's mom. And Payson practices her arm flourishes — complete with "I'm so jazzed" facial expressions — while lying in bed. I do believe you may need to tune in.

Annie, that was all kinds of awesome with cheese on top. Thanks for the uplift – I needed it today.
yeah, i definitely rewound that and watched it again when i saw the show last night. i love the martial-arts type sound effects.
Yeah, that scene had me snickering …. And yet, I’ll be watching the next episode.
Headline: “They’ll tumbling pass your ass!” What language is that even? It’ll tumbling pass my grammatical skills!
Hhaha. Thank you Annie for the afternoon giggles.
My niece and I watched that in absolute horror/glee. She is a gymnast and I was one in the past…. that show is absolutely no indication of real gymnastics!! And PS Payson would be CRAZY not to go to Houston to train!
i loved the show. And i am obssessed with leo cruz he is so hot !! who is he?
loved the show! you is that leo cruz guy, he is so hot !!
Reason #456 to love this show! I thought the girls were awesome and I’m now I’m more jealous than ever that I don’t have those kinds of moves.
Count me in for next episode – I’m definitely hooked on MIOBI!
Annie, THANK YOU! Ha, I just saw this ep and thought, “Am I seeing this? Annie or someone on Popwatch has to be making fun of this…” Lo and behold, you did not let me down. Ah, summer guilty pleasure television. This is all spurred by my childhood obsession with Nadia; I wonder if she ever took it to the streets to scare off scary wanna-be thugs…
Annie, thank you! I just finished watching this episode and thought, ‘Did I really just see little gymnasts try to take on thugs…at Denver gas station…with front hand-springs? Annie or someone at Popwatch has to be making fun of this!” Lo and behold, you did not disappoint. Phew.
I reviewed this show on my blog:

And yeah, I agree this scene is hilarious. Somehow I don’t think it would work in real life, though.
