THE GIRLS ARE ON THE BRINK OF DISASTER IN THE MID-SEASON FINALE OF "MAKE IT OR BREAK IT," TUESDAY, AUGUST 31ST AT 9:00 PM ET/PT ON ABC FAMILY

Gymnastics Coaching Legend B�la K�rolyi Guest Stars

Burbank, CA (August 18, 2010) - It's the day of World tryouts and with the absence of their beloved coach -- and their focus -- the girls' dream faces possible destruction, in "At the Edge of the Worlds," the mid-season finale of ABC Family's original series "Make It or Break It," premiering Tuesday, August 30th (9:00 - 10:00 PM ET/PT).

As the girls head into their toughest challenge yet, their worlds begin the crumble. And leading the charge to make sure the girls don't make it onto the US World's gymnastic team is Ellen Beals. But it isn't just Ellen's quest to dominate The Rock that's testing the girls' wills. Lauren is dealing - or not dealing - with the news about her mother; Kaylie can no longer ignore the things she has put her body through; Emily must face a possible delinquent future and Payson is still reeling from her embarrassing spur of the moment actions. Can The Rock girls once again put great challenges behind them and show the world that they're the best -- or is this finally too much for the girls to overcome?

Gymnastics coaching legend B�la K�rolyi guest stars as Boris Belov, Sasha's father and former gymnastics coach.

"Make It or Break It" stars Chelsea Hobbs, Ayla Kell, Josie Loren, Cassie Scerbo, Peri Gilpin, Candace Cameron Bure and Susan Ward.
