Legally Blonde or Bombed?

As I begin this post can I please just yell this?
I LOVE LEGALLY BLONDE, THE SEARCH FOR ELLE WOODS (on MTV)! I LOVE IT!

But to some of those girls I want to just say, "girl. please. please, girl. please." I would just like to know what went through some of their heads. What I mean by that is; if I had auditioned for the show, and I had the opportunity (as did the rest of America) to watch the broad casted version of the show that aired on MTV... why did they not just memorize the entire show?! I would have had Laura Bell's blocking down, every song memorized, and have a good good grasp of all the lines if I truly wanted to be Elle Woods. It was almost painful to sit and watch some of those girls miss a line (although few did) and sing the wrong verse of the Delta Nu song as they were learning it.

Anyways, other than that... acting wise nobody... NOBODY... blew me away. Vocally they are all very impressive.

Two of my friends (who are also very involved in Theater) watched last nights episode with me (which if you missed it I'm sure MTV will play it religiously) and we started finding our favorites, and my not-so-favorites. Here are my inputs (spoiler warning!):

Autumn- Curly hair? Straight hair? Girl. Keep it straight... you are the cutest with your straight hair. And she is very cute! When she was at the piano playing she reminded me A LOT of myself. A lot. I didn't know I loved her, though, until close to the end, when she reminded me of myself once again when she fell on the floor when they told her about the trick! (watch the episode) She is the cutest and I hope she goes far. My very Favorite.


Bailey- She won stand out performer and stood out in my mind. Last episode I thought she was annoying and I didn't like her that much. But this episode I loved her so much! She delivered her lines in such a cute way. And way to correct that accent, it's very close! I like her a lot. She again, is the cutest. Favorite.




Cassie O.- Poor Cassie O. She got the boot, the big pink boot. I liked her, but I didn't like her as Elle Woods. She can do other things in theater and do them well. Break a Leg Cassie O.!






Cassie S.- ehhhhh.. I do not like her. Overall she just didn't wow me. Not as Elle, not as an actress. But I did like her cover on the missed line. She always looks like she has to work so hard to realize what's happening around her. She'd make a cute blonde, though. Maybe she'll grow on me. But for now Not-So-Favorite.




Celina- Again, no! Terrible! I was not happy that she was put through. She doesn't look the part of Elle (red hair aside) and her attitude, I just don't like her. And all that waving when she didn't hear the line... yeah... nice cover with the explanation, but no, you broke character. And then that hyena laughter? NOT-so-Favorite.




Emma- Reese? Little Miss Serious though! She's super pretty, and is an "ehhh" actress. I don't know about her attitude though. I need some more Emma time before I can decide.






Lauren- Such a little girl look.. not really Elle. I don't know. I liked her when she was talking at the table, but I just don't know about her yet either. She's sitting right on top of the fence with me.





Lindsay- OOOH! Lindsay! You were such a disappointment! I LOVED your look! I HATED your acting! I liked you so much! But now... oh I just don't know! Please! Improve!.... this pains me... but Not-so-Favorite.





Natalie- ehhhh, I really don't like her. But that's just from what I've seen. She doesn't look like any Elle Woods... and her acting seems very one-dimensional. And when she was practicing the lines she looked hunched-back. Not-so-favorite





Rhiannon- Goofy. Weird. and not in a good way. The one plus I can give her is that she's memorable. She seems like that gawky teenage girl that hasn't gotten used to her new set of equipment. Not-so-Favorite.





So those are my views on the "Blondes" for now. I can't wait for next Monday!
