In the latest episode of Push Girls “Tiphany’s Missing Sister (Part 1),” our favorite out cast member is trying to track down her sister. Tiphany’s sister Katie has been addicted to crystal meth for over 10 years. A year and a half ago, Katie went missing and Tiphany desperately wants to hire a private investigator to find Katie. Sadly Tiphany she isn’t getting the support she wants from her father. It seems as though after a long struggle, many family members have given up on Katie and are choosing not to get their hopes up that she will ever get sober.

Meanwhile, Mia and her friend Pauline head to a salon for a day of mani-pedis. It’s Mia’s first professional pedicure. In the past she was too afraid her legs would spasm and freak the nail stylist out, but Pauline reassures...

On the Season 2 premiere of "Push Girls" earlier this month, Auti Angel and her husband, DJ Eric "Stretch Boogie" Rivera, were having trouble in their relationship. But, it appears things are going well now - in fact, they're trying to have a baby.

"My husband and I are practicing regularly," Auti laughed, as she visited Access Hollywood Live on Tuesday. "We're hoping that it'll happen naturally. And if not, we'll take other courses."

While Auti and Eric are working on getting pregnant, they are getting in some parenting practice with a new addition to the family - ...

On the latest episode of Push Girls, appropriately titled “Betrayed," Angela is in need of a new caregiver while Chelsie and Auti have some serious dramarama over their dance crews. (I wanna join their dance crews!)

First up the lovely Angela heads to the tattoo parlor Freak Chic. Angela gets a small flower tattoo on her wrist that she says symbolizes her “past, present and future.” The future is what Angela is focusing on since she is now officially divorced and is currently looking for a new caregiver so her Auntie Judy can return to work. Angela reveals that after her accident she lost a lot of friends but her Auntie has always been by her side. Angela calls her Auntie her “soul partner” and her “partner in crime.” Although I doubt these two sweethearts commit crimes. After many candidates Angela finally hires a woman...

Now on with the show! In last night’s Push Girls episode “Surprising News” Angela gets behind the wheel, Chelsie is desperate to walk and Tiphany and Liz play kissy face in the sand.

The show begins with Auti and Angela contorting themselves to get inside of a car. They laugh that it takes them 45 minutes just to head off to lunch.

Then we head over to Chelsie’s and her boyfriend Raymond, who makes this ignorant statement, “You don’t really see gorgeous people in wheelchairs.” What?!

Chelsie is determined to walk again. She practices standing one hour a day to gain strength. Raymond makes a tremendous discovery of the revolutionary ReWalk bionic suit. Here’s a video showing how the suit works.

Welcome to the Push Girls Season 2 premiere recap “Strange Love.” To watch or re-watch Season 1, click here.

This season’s first episode starts off with our blonde bisexual Tiphany riding a mechanical bull.

Tiphany is celebrating her decision to finally move out of Angela’s house and live on her own. Angela is supportive of Tiphany’s relocation (i.e. she will not miss hearing Tiphany having loud sex). But Mia is concerned that Tiphany might not be ready for total independence.

We fast-forward to moving day and Tiphany loves her new tiny apartment. Mia, being the more practical of the two, is worried because the place isn’t on the ground floor. So the girls do a practice-run and escape the building on the stairs in their wheelchairs. They successfully accomplish this task, but with a few mishaps. (Mia almost bit it on the last set of stairs.

When Push Girls premiered on the Sundance Channel last summer, we were introduced to Tiphany Adams, a 27-year-old survivor of a car crash that put her in a wheelchair. Tiphany and her co-star friends showed viewers how they live normal lives — or as normal as being beautiful women living in Los Angeles can be. Tiphany was also dating both men and women on Season One, and when Season Two premieres tonight on Sundance, you'll see she's very single and very interested in mingling with a girl she meets at the bar.

"There are some surprises in store," Tiphany said. "And yeah, you'll certainly get to see some surprises in that department!"

But Tiphany doesn't say if she's going to be dating any men on this season, as previews only seem to highlight her seeing the specific girl she meets in tonight's episode, where she...

On October 15, 2000, Tiphany Adams, then a high-school senior in Northern California, was a passenger in a car that was hit head-on by a drunk driver going 130 mph. Tiphany and the two friends who were in the car with her were all pronounced dead at the scene... until an Emt detected life in Tiphany's body. She was airlifted to the nearest hospital and spent the next three weeks in a coma; when she came out of it, she learned that the injuries she'd sustained in the accident had left her permanently paralyzed from the waist down. Now, almost 12 years later, Tiphany is one of the inspiring stars of the new Sundance Channel reality show "Push Girls," which gives viewers an intimate glimpse into the challenges wheelchair-using women face. In this candid interview, Tiphany shares some of the life lessons she's learned about personal growth, self-awareness, and coping with other people's false assumptions -- and fears.

On TV this Monday: The Secret Life of the American Teenager gets ready to take some time off, a shiny guest star returns to Alphas, Push Girls’ first season ends on a high note and Warehouse 13 goes down the rabbit hole. Here are 10 programs to look for tonight.

There’s nary an episode of Sundance’s Push Girls where the viewers don’t learn something about living life as a quadriplegic or paraplegic. In the show’s first season finale — airing tonight at 10 p.m. on Sundance Channel — one of the lessons is about the hardships surrounding how Angela Rockwood, who is a quadriplegic, gets onto an airplane. If you can imagine, the process is quite an orchestration, and EW has an exclusive clip below that details it all.

“Just going away for three days, one suitcase is full of medical supplies,” Angela tells viewers in the clip of Push Girls,...

On May 2, 1992, professional hip-hop dancer Auti Angel was on the verge of signing a recording contract with Columbia Records. The next day, her spinal cord was severed in a terrible car wreck, leaving her permanently paralyzed from the waist down. Now, ten years later, Auti is one of the inspiring stars of the new Sundance Channel reality show "Push Girls," which gives viewers an intimate glimpse into the challenges wheelchair-using women face. In this honest and revealing interview, Auti shares how surviving unimaginable trauma -- she endured both that car accident and childhood sexual abuse -- can help you build a fighting spirit... if you work at it.

I love how you pushed your comfort zone to enter that ballroom dance contest in episode two of "Push Girls." That was incredible!

Oh, thank you so much. Oh, yes indeed, I push myself beyond my comfort zone.

To me, that's the crux of why you're fearless.

When dancer Auti Angel was 22 and on the verge of signing a record deal, a car accident nearly stole her show-business dream. "A car clipped the front end of my car and I lost control," she says. "I went spinning, hit the center divider head-on... the impact made me snap my back in half and I severed my spinal cord completely and I became paralyzed from the waist down instantly."

Later, she reapproached the record company. “I’m not going to walk again, but I’m definitely going to dance again," she told them. They looked at her sitting there in her wheelchair... and turned her down.

Now, Angel is one of the stars of the new Sundance Channel reality show "Push Girls." "No matter what obstacle comes your way, it’s always overcomeable," she says in this inspiring AOL video. "I’m fulfilling my dreams."

What personal obstacles have you overcome?...

"I just celebrated 20 years of my accident," announced Auti Angel at a luncheon at Robert for the reality show Push Girls. Premiering on the Sundance Channel, the show features four feisty and beautiful wheelchair-bound stars: three friends -- Tiphany Adams and Angela Rockwood as well as Auti -- who are car accident survivors, and Mia Schaikewitz, a champion swimmer who as a teen suffered a ruptured blood vessel in her spine, causing her paralysis. So, just what is making Auti, a dancer who cannot walk, so happy about a life change that many would consider tragic?

The reality show format has proven itself as a mesmerizing vehicle for examining life's vicissitudes. Perhaps this entertainment appeals to the voyeur in each of us. Push Girls offers a glimpse into a world that may have been eh, pushed aside.
