What You Want!

Time for another "Legally Blonde: The Search for Elle Woods" recap. And I think the bitch of the show has revealed herself. Finally. There's usually one from casting week on Top Model.

After Cassie O's departure, we start with Lindsey and Cassie S's triumphant return to the loft. The next day, the remaining Elle wannabes go to a health center where they meet the ahmahzing Seth Rudetsky to work on their stamina to do an entire show. (By the way, Seth is my favorite columnist over at Playbill.com. Check it out! Onstage and Backstage, updated every Monday). So the girls have to sing while jogging, biking and bouncing on pink exercise balls. In the end, Seth picks Lauren as the winner, which didn't sit too well with the other girls (who thought ex-smoker Emma was a better candidate). Lauren wins the opportunity to get a mani/pedi with Orfeh ("Paulette") and can pick a friend. She chooses Cassie S, saying she was impressed that the girl was able to bounce back from near-elimination to really stand out. However, in a confessional, Cassie S. (they still haven't dropped that initial!) is anything but gratiful or flattered, saying she was chosen out of pity. Smelling the bitch yet?

Before Lauren and Cassie S. are whisked away, Haylie Duff reveals that the girls will be performing "Ohmigod You Guys!" for the judges. The girls freak. At the manicure place, the winners ask Orfeh for some advice and she in turn asks how everyone is getting along. She's probably seen a few episodes of Top Model, so how does she think everyone is getting along? Lauren says that everyone is getting along fine while Cassie S. confessionalizes that that is a big lie and there is bitchery in the house. While I think she is the bitch, I must admit she's right. I went to an all-girls school and it can get down right catty even when you're friendly! The next day, the girls learn that not only will they be singing Elle's part in "Ohmigod You Guys," they will also be singing the Delta Nu girls part as well--acting as back up when they aren't auditioning. Seth practices with them and then the girls go home to practice again. Cassie S. practices but some of the girls aren't into helping her. Uh oh.

I wish the audition scenes were longer. At least on "Grease," we got to hear full performances by the contestants. Here, we only get little snippets and it's hard to base a person's potential on about a minute or two of singing. However, the stands out for me were Emma, Autumn, and Bailey. After Cassie S's performance, the judges asked her if there was anyone she thought should go home. And she played right into their trap, but realized her mistake to try to backpedal out of actually naming anyone. The other girls weren't thrilled and seemed surprised that a girl could be such a bitch and were disheartened to see her be saved from the casting room. Ladies, please view America's Next Top Model Cycles 1-10. Focus on such bitches as Robyn, Bre, Bianca, Renee, and Dominique. Note also how far they made it in the competition. In the end, four girls were sent down to the casting room. The judges decided to send Lindsey home.
