The ABC Family show “Make It or Break It” comes back for a new season tomorrow, and the pressure is on as Lauren, Payson and Kaylie vie for a spot on the 2012 U.S. Olympic Team. Season two ended with a comeback by Team USA to clinch the gold at the world championships. Emily was a no-show, as she was last seen on a bus headed somewhere far away after she found out she was pregnant. The last time we saw Emily, we watched her gymnastics life flash before her eyes. It has been confirmed that Emily’s portrayer, Chelsea Hobbs, will not be part of the new season. While we will miss Emily, her absence gives the show the opportunity to introduce new rival Jordan Randall (played by Chelsea Tavares), who is bound to stir up plenty of drama.

Before they make the Olympic Team, Lauren, Payson and Kaylie must survive an intense eight weeks at the USA Training Center. With new coaches and new rivals, the girls must maintain their focus on the road to Olympic gold. There will be plenty of obstacles and distractions to overcome, not to mention drama among the girls themselves. (This is ABC Family, after all.) Based on the previous two seasons, no gymnast has an automatic spot on the team. Everyone is vulnerable and must raise her game to make the Games. To find out who goes to London as part of the 2012 team, tune in to ABC Family starting Monday, March 26, at 8 p.m. CDT.
