![]() That said, all the lead actresses play their parts well. Payson (Ayla Kell) is completely focused. Emily Kmetko (Chelsea Hobbs) is a plucky scholarship student who is torn between her dream and wanting a normal life. Biggest Weakness: The characters in this show are really one note: Lauren (Cassie Scerbo), the villain of the piece, is an ambitious and manipulative brat who will (and does) betray her friends to get ahead in the competition. But it is well done and promises a lot of addictive teen soap action. Make It or Break It is about a bunch of Olympic-level gymnasts and the drama that goes on behind the scenes on their way to Nationals. Maybe it's just because it's summer, and I'm feeling seriously deprived of network TV, but I'm kind of digging this show. It's just as demanding as any other professional sport. It shows gymnastics isn't about prettiness and dancing around. ![]() This show addresses problems such as eating disorders, the pressure of competition, loss of a loved one, divorced parents, money problems, and other issues. This show, unlike other teen based dramas, exposes real life scenarios and REAL emotion and issues. I would recommend this show to ANYONE!!!!!! This show makes me wish there was more exposure to gymnasts and the sport, as this show really opens viewers eyes on the constant struggles on the lives of potential Olympic gymnasts. The amount of emotion each of them pour into the characters is mind-boggling. Each of the actresses do phenomenal work on each of the episodes. Make it or Break It is my favorite show and has brought much publicity to ABC Family because of it's success. This show embraces such emotion of real athletes and the drama leaves me on the edge of my seat! Each finale, or even episode leaves me reeling for more. This show isn't just for young girls, or gymnasts. This is an amazing show and I hope it wins its own "Olympic Gold" equivalent. I hope this show goes on to create many seasons and follows the same characters through their lives. Every episode of this show is an emotional roller coaster and I absolutely love it. I have never felt so moved by a character. The strength, power, discipline and grace of her character is inspiring. I do think she is the most beautiful character. I found myself pulling a Payson Keeler happy cry. I must say that certain events made me cry whilst watching. Each character has such a complex story and though it appears at first to be "predictable" I find that my predictions are often wrong or there is some twist to it. The success and failure of each gymnast is moving but most of all - the spirit of the team is contagious and can be applied to almost every setting. The show is more about more than just gymnastics. This is so captivating motivating inspiring and simply amazing the whole package. But as I continued to watch I found myself connecting with each character - while there are characters I do not 'like' as such, the tension truly enhances the show and engages the audience. I am motivated and energised watching and I look forward to watching it over again! When I began watching the pilot I thought - it'll be a one season wonder. It is jam packed with emotion and it really takes you on a journey.
