This week Evan Heiter and Jessica preview the 2015 P&G Championships, and Spencer from The Balance Beam Situation recaps Gymnastike's "Beyond The Routine" show about Gabby Douglas and Nia Dennis at Buckeye Gymnastics.

• The Maggie Nichols factor - Don't doubt the power of the swag! How her injury at last year's Pan Am Championships will make her this year's newest World Team member.
• How to watch Team Sam Peszek and Evan Heiter rock the commentary game with Raj Bhavsar all week long in Indianapolis.
• Why Norah Flatley will be missing this competition.
• Which "2000 Babies" (AKA juniors who will be age eligible for the Rio Olympics next year), have the best chance making a case for their spot on the Rio team:
  • Rachel Baumann, Desiderio, Foberg, Frazier, Gaskins, Laurie “Baby Shakira” Hernandez, Johnson-Scharpf, Paulson, Quinn, Ragan “Feivel” Smith, or Olivia Trautman.
• We each pick the routines that must be seen lest the Gym God's rain down fire upon your soul!
• Upgrades and Placement: Will Gabby upgrade here or wait for Worlds? Is Kyla keeping her Bhardwaj or downgrading bars because of her fall at Classics? Will Simone throw her Cheng vault in Indy?
• Which specialists need to absolutely slaughter their event in order to make the team for Worlds?
• Which men are most likely to break into the old boys club and steal the coveted specialist spot for Scotland.
• How MyKayla Skinner and her choreographer got themselves into the Glasgow news for an epic leotard-related cultural gaffe.
• Why every time Sydney Johnson-Scharpf does a routine or Brenna Dowell approaches bars, Vegas-style lights should ignite around the apparatus and everyone should fall to their knees in worship!
• The draw for the World Championships is out so we had to debate the US team merits starting vs. finishing on beam.
• Finally, Spencer recaps Gymnastike's "Beyond The Routine: Buckeye"
  • He rides the "implied shade express" as Gabby talks about her legitimate comeback and why new coach, Kittia Carpenter is a supportive person (as opposed to...)
  • Like a gymnastics version of CSI, we dissect the clues that led to Nia Dennis's departure from her longtime gym, Buckeye for Legacy Elite.
  • Discuss what coach Fernando Villa and Gabby would look like if they watched Dance Mom's together.
  • We appreciate all of the moments when Mr. Positivity, Christian Gallardo, is on camera.
