I see a little blonde versus brunette shaping up in the gym: Lauren and Payson against Kaylie and Emily. I’m not really sure if this show needs a slimeball. Then again, losing authority at the Rock could make him worse. It also means that we get less of Steve (Lauren’s dad, played by Anthony Starke), which would be nice. It would have been surprising for her to be nothing more than another one of the parents, but you never know what actors will sign on for. I’m psyched that Peri Gilpin (Payson’s mom, Kim) is being given a larger role on the show, by assuming the managers position at the Rock. But then she goes and does a standing tuck, or whatever, in the middle of the Pizza Shack. But, why was she so adamant about hiding her gymnastics from her co-workers? I get shyness, but this seemed like something more, like maybe she’s had a bad experience with all of that somewhere in the past. As arbitrary as it may seem to me, if the rules say no outside job, there’s no further discussion needed. I suppose I can understand why Emily ( Chelsea Hobbs) wants to keep her job a secret from the people at the Rock. Sure, it’s there in the form of the Kaylie ( Josie Loren) / Lauren ( Cassie Scerbo) / Carter ( Zachary Abel) triangle, to name but one saga, but Payson’s ( Ayla Kell) habit of irritatingly staying focused on gymnastics alone, focuses the entire show with it. I wrote last week about the show needing to keep a good balance I think the punishment that the girls received, which involved both gymnastics and their personal lives, really solidified the show’s ability to not get lost in athletics, while still not giving us too much teen-angst. So, good stuff this week on Make It or Break It. You’ve got to embrace it when that kind of anomaly transpires.
