It seems to be fairly (ok, ok. Understatment) unrealistic.
They don't have it in Aus, but i kinda want to watch it to se how bad/good it really is.

The show kind of seems like a crummy rip-off of Stick It, in that it's got the newcomer, inconsistent star (Emily=Hayleigh), and the whiny, totally "awesome" antagonist (Lauren=JoAnn), and then some random girls who aren't sure where to stand. I'm going to give it another chance next week, because sometimes the pilots aren't as good as the rest of the series. If that doesn't work, I'll be flipping (pun intended) to Jon and Kate Plus 8 and see what kind of drama I can find there.
When Emily fell on vault...did she really try to do a front tuck ONTO the vault table? and tucked tsuks and yurochenko's? And these girls want to go to NATIONALS! This is sended a bad message about gymnastics to non-gymnasts (eating disorters, mean coaches, snotty girls, ect.) i completely agree w/ everyone else...but i will keep watching it . When there is a gym show on tv, i can't just NOT watch, lol.
You're right. It is what it is. It's a show. If we want documentary, we should switch to PBS or Discovery. We should not take it so personal. Reap and enjoy what you can relate to and leave the rest. Now, if I saw such story telling in the news, I would be pretty upset.But it is a tv show, the drama is what they are going for more that reality I guess.
I also agree with that. Granted it is too early to tell, but it's a fiction and it's playing out pretty well so far -- far better than most targeted to teenagers or otherwise that is available and popular out there. If Miley is deemed to have a "good" show (not mentioning ones that are far more graphic), then MIBI is an extraordinary show. At least the acting and plot is far better.I'm sure most of the shows on tv arent very realistic..look at some shows The Mentalist.. how realistic is that? The Hills...awful! It's just for entertainment. I think thats more of what they were shooting for the drama of it, not so much reality. That's just my opinion, I voted silver.
Yup, that was a tsuk tuck and a pretty ordinary one. Then again, I don't think I saw too many big skills in the whole show -- at least nothing bigger than L7/8/9 ones. Now, again, keep in mind, it's acting. I'm just glad that it wasn't all bad editing.I have to wonder...was that second vault just a tsuk tuck? Looked like it to me! And these girls are trying to get into Nationals and gain a spot in the Olympics? That is about as unrealistic as it gets. The only good thing is that it makes my daughter look really good because her tsuk blows that one away.
You cannot get it from the sky. ABC Family is on cable/dish only. Like you I don't have cable/dish. But, fortunately because of the modern technology, you can find just about any show on the Internet. The big networks have excellent streaming. MIBI is viewable through abcfamily.com.what channel on sky is abc family on?
If you were Joe Blow the viewer who knows nothing about gymnastics, would you keep watching the show for the sport elements. Now, if it's on ESPN Gymnastics Channel, then there is a chance?I think the show was ok. I mean it really wasn't relistic gymnastics skills wise. I think they focused too much on the dramatic aspect of the show rather than the actual gymnastics part.

I agree with just about everyone. I did not like the way it focused on the negative points of gymnastics---eating disorders, harsh rules and cattiness. I also did not care for the sabotaging aspect of the competition. Yes there were girls who were trying to be positive, it seemed to me that the negatives were winning.
I will not be letting my dd (12) watch it. After training 36 hours a week in the gym, this might be a bit too much gymnastics---especially when we try so hard to de-emphasize the negative aspects. So combined with the fact that the gymnastics is a bit unrealistic and I feel the content matter is not something I want her to spend her time watching--she will not be watching.
I do understand why all of the drama is there. It is, after all, a teen drama show and it has to appeal to the masses. I don't think many people would want to watch weeks of gymnastics practice, competition and drama... It will be interesting to see if does well.
