What a long, strange season it's been! After months of watching the girls put their blondest foot forward, it's finally time to congratulate Bailey on her much-deserved win! And since everybody loves closure, I figured I'd find out what all of the pink ladies have been doing post-Legally Blonde.
Check out what Bailey, Emma, Cassie O., Lindsey, Celina, Natalie and Autumn had to say for themselves -- and what they said about everybody else.
First up: EMMA
Anything you want to set the record straight about?
I'd like to set the record straight about people thinking I'm stuck-up or arrogant. This is such a tough business and if you aren't confident, you'll never last. Also, what I said in my last interview about Rhiannon, Bailey and Lauren being 'little girls' was said during a really stressful time -- I was frustrated and lashed out with something I didn't mean.
Tell us something we don't know about you from watching the show.
I'm not always so serious! We were all a lot more goofy on the show but you don't see those parts! I'm actually quite funny...or so I think!
What have you been up to since we last saw you?
I have moved to a new apartment and worked towards (finally!) getting a new agent! Now, I'm auditioning and trying to get work so that I can stop bartending!
Any gripes, amazing anecdotes or funny stories you'd like to share?
also have one anecdote- Bailey and I were riding in a cab together on our way to Brooklyn (where we danced on cobblestones) and as we were passing through Chinatown, she remarked on all the Chinese writing. I said, "Yeah, we are going through Chinatown" and she said, "Oh my Gawd, it's just like we're JAPAN!" Ya gotta love her!!

Sure, tonight's Legally Blonde finale will determine which pink lady gets the role of a lifetime. But there were so many memorable moments this season that I figured it was time for a quick impromptu highlights reel. So here, in no particular order, are the Best Moments From This Season's Legally Blonde.
• The unforgettable afternoon I spent riding around New York City in a giant, hot pink double-decker bus -- with 50 identically-dressed Elle Woods clones who spent the better part of five hours screaming "Omigod, you guys!"
• The (first) time our beloved Seth Rudetsky ripped on Lauren for being poker-faced and Bailey for being inappropriately dressed...all while strutting around in a form-fitting wife beater.
• The week everyone (suddenly) started saying "She threw us under a bus."
• The first ever 'Dumb Blonde' Question! This week, I wondered aloud whether Cassie O's exit would inspire Cassie S to drop her initial and just be known as....Cassie. (It didn't).

This week, we watched as the remaining Legally Blonde girls tried to show the judges that they had the singing, acting and emotional depth to play Elle Woods. And while Autumn and Lauren soared, not everyone was able to channel their inner Elle and deliver a heart-wrenching performance. Check out this deleted scene of the girls practicing for their most challenging elimination yet. Still think Natalie deserved to be in the bottom 2? Check out her full performance along with Rhiannon's then let me know whether you think the judges should've called for an instant-replay.
Every Wednesday, I struggle with a minor bout of Legally Blonde withdrawal. So to compensate, I’ve decided to start out each Hump Day morning with a dumb blonde question inspired by my favorite Elle Woods wannabes. (Like “Deep Thoughts, by Jack Handey,” only blonder!)
This week, the girls endured mega-makeovers, cried with Laura Bell Bundy and performed what looks to be the most emotionally draining ballad in Broadway musical history. And while the newly fair-haired Natalie emerged as the challenge winner, she was unable to capitalize on her advantage (a private one-on-one date with Andy Karl -- the guy who very occasionally plays Emmett!) and was eventually sent home. Which leads me to this week's Dumb Blonde Question:

On last night's Legally Blonde, we watched Autumn and Natalie transition from bland brunette to platinum princesses and hoped that the single process dye-job would give them that extra little bit of Elle Woodsiness. Sadly, it seems blondes don't always have more fun. The judges took one look at Natalie's goldilocks (and, um, her audition) and decided it wasn't meant to be. Which was weird, since it seemed obvious that Rhiannon was the weaker performer of the two.
Anyways, what did you guys think of the final showdown? Was I just b-b-blinded by the highlights? Or should Rhiannon have been the one to pack it in?
Although some of us (ahem, me) are still reeling from Emma's bitter exit, tonight's all-new Legally Blonde reminds us that the show must go on. And from the looks of it, this episode has all the requisite ingredients for success: tears, roommmate drama and, of course, a never-ending supply of bodyhugging pink clothes. And, in case that wasn't enough, producers have gone ahead and thrown in the super-duper makeovers. Time to see whether Autumn and Natalie really do have more fun...as bottle blondes.

From hardass choreographer Nick Kenkel (whose name is, amazingly, pronounced "cankle") to Emma's spitoon to the 4-inch "Pepto Bismol pink" stilettos, the girls had a lot to contend with this week. As a result, there were several great lines (e.g. Lauren's "This is not in the spirit of Elle!" and Natalie's insta-classic, "My talent will shine through my bad hair!") one embittered exit and one totally unexpected mid-audition regurgitation.

Oh, Celina. Has it really only been three days since we said goodbye to you? Because we already miss you fiery orange hair, inability to take critique and, of course, your "cliquey" friendship with Autumn. Thankfully, there's a deleted scene of the Legally Blonde girls letting off some steam in a giant, group pillow fighty version of "Girls Just Wanna Have Fun." So take one last look at that minx, Celina, admire Autumn's moxy and see if you can find a reasonable explanation for why Natalie's "knee-jerk reaction" involved ripping off her nightgown.
Not featured: Cassie S, who will also be missed for her endearing habit of complaining about cliquiness while simultaneously refusing to participate in any/all group activities.
