The docuseries Bring It! will return for a second season with 10 new episodes this summer. The Lifetime series will have its season two premiere on July 23, 2014 at 9pm ET/PT, picking up a renewal order after drawing in an average of 2.3 million viewers over its first season.

Coach Dianna Williams and the Dancing Dolls will return for season two, with Craig Piligian, Derek W. Wan, Eli Lehrer, Mary Donahue, and Colleen Conway Grogan executive producing.

The Series Details:

Bring It! follows Miss D and her dancers as they refuse to lose and push themselves to the limit each week in the relentless pursuit of victory at high-powered dance competitions throughout the U.S. Every jump, step and high kick on the program highlights the triumphs and struggles of intense competition, where errors aren’t tolerated, mediocrity isn’t excused and only a win is acceptable.

After a spring season full of fierce competition, Miss D is willing to do whatever it takes for the Dancing Dolls to remain the best hip-hop majorette dance troupe in the South. The series returns with the annual Dancing Dolls tryouts, where Miss D scouts for fresh talent and weeds out any weak links on the team. Even veteran dancers will have to fight to keep their spot on the squad. Kayla returns to reclaim her captain position, and Camryn and Crystianna both vie for leadership roles. Will Sunjai return to the Dolls after her fallout with Miss D at the Battle Royale last season? If she does, will she even manage to make the team?

KROQ Weenie Roast 2014 Review

KROQ Weenie Roast 2014 Review
Fall Out Boy on stage at the KROQ Weenie Roast (Photo by Christina Radish Photography)

The 22nd Annual KROQ Weenie Roast took over the Verizon Wireless Amphitheater in Irvine, Calif. on May 31st, with an eclectic line-up celebrating acts on the station’s playlist, at what is the longest continuous running radio festival in the country. One of the things that becomes apparent at the yearly show is that there’s enough variety that there’s something for just about everyone, but that the bands themselves are appreciative to be there and are excited to see and support their fellow artists.

After side stage sets from Cherub, Bleachers (featuring fun. guitarist Jack Antonoff), The 1975, Phantogram, American Authors and Kongos, Capital Cities and Fitz and the Tantrums kicked things off with lively sets on the main stage. The Neighbourhood got the crowd going while the singer strutted and showed off his tattoos. And the guys that make up Fall Out Boy were clearly happy to be back on stage and rockin’ out, even sharing how nervous they were about coming back after spending some time apart.

One of the true stand-outs of the day was British band Bastille, who kept it low-key, but let their talent shine on such familiar songs as “Bad Blood” and “Pompeii.” As the sun went down, Foster the People played their most famous song “Pumped Up Kicks” early on, but kept the crowd rockin’ throughout their set.

Having first played the Weenie Roast in 1994, and citing that most of the crowd probably hadn’t even been born yet, Beck kicked off his set with “Loser,” before adding “Devil’s Haircut,” “Where It’s At” and a surprisingly danceable cover of Michael Jackson’s “Billie Jean” to his set list.

Swedish DJ AVICII made his Weenie Roast debut, closing out the night with his brand of electronic dance music that got everyone up out of their seats.
