Having just clinched victory at the World Championships, the 2012 Olympic Games are the goal in the climactic third season of "Make It or Break It," as the Rock girls head to the U.S. Training Center and vie to be on the team that heads to London. With a new coach and fierce competition - including the return of former rivals Kelly Parker and Jordan Randall - Payson, Kaylie and Lauren are pushed to their limits physically and emotionally. The girls are closer than ever and committed to making the Olympic team together, but secret betrayals, questionable alliances and the reality of competing to make the final cut will test their loyalties like never before. "Make It or Break It," starring Ayla Kell, Josie Lauren, and Cassie Scerbo, will return with the third season premiere on Monday, March 26th (9:00PM- 10:00PM ET/PT).
