Poor Jordyn Wieber. There was perhaps no sadder moment surrounding the 2012 London Olympics than watching Ryan Seacrest ask the gymnastics team about Justin Bieber the World Champion sobbing after getting knocked out of the All-Around Finals — just feet away from qualifying teammate Aly Raisman's televised victory interview.
But Wieber should perk up as high as her ponytail — not only will she get a chance to Kerri Strug her way into winning her team Gold (hopefully sans ankle injury), but she could also boast a lucrative career in Hollywood. Doing what, you ask? Why, if horror movies have taught us anything, it's that there's a market for flexible possessed women.
Ever Linda Blair crab-walked her way down a set of stairs in a scene that was added for The Exorcist's 2000 theatrical re-release, the industry has realized nothing there's nothing more horrifying more than watching a girl bend her body in ways not seemingly possible. (You saw Raisman's parents watching her uneven bar routine last night, didn't you?) So how would scary movies' most notable bendy ladies fare in the Olympics? Let's see who would make the team — and who possessed us enough to pick up the Gold.
