Rhythmic gymnastics is big in Eastern Europe, which is why Eva (originally from Germany) is familiar with it in my TDI remake. (I can do shameless plug-ins, too.) Not long after the turn of the millenium, I bought a house from a Belarusan rhythmic gymnastics teacher who had come to the U.S. some years before but whom, having just retired, was heading back to the old country.

As for the other eliminated contestants, of course they survived. You'll have proof soon enough. Besides, cartoon characters always survive--always--unless expressly stated otherwise.
