Jessica spams us with something about Simone and Taylor Swift and the sportsballs, but then we discuss new training videos of Gabby Douglas and Suni Lee (!), the US elite committee's new "no foreigns" rule, a documentary crew at camp, and Aly Raisman's commentary debut.

College Season—Week 3

• Clemson leotards: Ranked 1st for controversy
• Stray crutches, furries, body rolls, and wedgie picks star in this week's opportunities for comedy
• Bailey Bunn produced an important addition to the pantheon of amazing beam saves this week. We discuss where it ranks on the all-time list
