You already know what the rest of the Legally Blonde girls have been doing since the show -- so I figured I'd hit you with an update on what FMP's (that's "Formerly Missing Persons") Cassie S. and Rhiannon have been up to. (Oh, and for the record, Lauren swears she's alive and well, and told me she's gearing up to go on the LB tour as Elle's understudy!)
And speaking of Elle Woods, Bailey's performance last night was UNBELIEVABLE! Check back later today for a Q&A where Bailey answers your top questions PLUS live video coverage of her opening night.
CASSIE S.
What have you been up to since we last saw you?
I have been training! YAY!! Plus I have been spending lots of time with my nephew (because they do grow up FAST!) I've also been teaching, which is such a pleasure, and -- of course! -- working. I have a few things in the works right now and next up is a guest star on the Showtime hit, DEXTER. So mostly, I have been auditioning and growing up!!!

In just a few hours, the special one-hour Legally Blonde finale will determine whether Rhiannon, Autumn or Bailey is the next Elle Woods! Here's a few reasons we think you should watch.
10. It's been, like, five minutes since you heard somebody say "Omigod, you guys!"
9. Hey, it's another chance to see mentor Haylie Duff in tight-fitting evening wear
8. And to see blonde writer-judge Heather Hach crinkle her nose and say "I'm just not sure it's Elle"
7. Bailey's cute-as-a-button Southern accent, y'all!
6. Final two is "Soooo Much Better" than final three

Omigod you guys! This coming Monday is the season finale of Legally Blonde, which means we're only three days, 85 hours and 4 minutes away from finding out which lovely and talented pink lady is the next Elle Woods. (Not that I'm counting down the seconds or anything). So, what's in store for Autumn, Bailey and Rhiannon? Well, sadly, it all starts with another elimination (remember that sneaky double-cut they teased in last week's episode??) followed by a brutal final audition where the final two girls take the stage one last time to compete for the role of their lives.
So who will go home? Who will be in the final two? And who will be the next Elle Woods? Watch this trailer for next week's episode and I guarantee you'll be even more confused than ever.
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, we watched as Autumn hit all the right notes, Bailey shined in the face of ill-fitting hat adversity, Rhiannon ran out of steam and poor little triple-threat Lauren was belatedly informed that she's far too young for the part.
So which of the remaining three girls will go on to achieve future greatness as the star of Legally Blonde: The Musical? Unfortunately, you'll have to wait til next Monday to find out! Meanwhile, it's time for this week's Dumb Blonde question. And this time, it's more like a blind item -- or should I say "blonde" item?

With the Legally Blonde girls whittled down to the Final Four, the judges definitely have their work cut out for them in tonight's episode. So I figured I'd help them out by taking a closer look at what each Elle Woods wannabe brings to the table.
Finalist: Autumn
Strengths: Singing, acting, affinity for chihuahuas
Weaknesses: Dancing in "Pepto pink" stiletto boots, keeping down her lunch
Best Elle Trait: Determination. This former brunette has refused to give up despite several near-eliminations (and one yak-attack)

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.
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?
After all that talk about how the "surprise challenge" (i.e. deciding who's the worst singer/dancer/actress, etc) wasn't "in the spirit of Elle," I figured the Legally Blonde girls were pretty much a united front. Which is why I was surprised to see Emma lash out at the other girls the moment after she got cut.
To be fair, Emma's surprise at being eliminated was totally understandable. Frankly, I'm not sure why she was even in the Bottom 2 to begin with, seeing as she's consistently out-performed several of the other girls despite having bronchitis (and, um, requiring a spitoon!) but, that said, I wasn't prepared to see her angelic Reese Witherspoon face turn all frowny as she complained about the unfairness of it all and rudely dismissed former BFF's Lauren, Bailey and Rhiannon as "little girls."
Sheesh, we get it Emma -- you're a superstar in the making who's been singing Broadway showtunes since before you were toilet-trained. Anyway, here's the thing: everyone knows that you've got talent. But you need to remember that sometimes, being a good performer means knowing when to just smile and bow out gracefully. And your exit was anything but.
This week, we sat through a nail-biting elimination and said goodbye to not one but TWO early favorites: Cassie S and Celina. So what's on tap for next week? I'm not sure, but it involves a weepy Lauren, a panic-stricken Rhiannon and a semi-hysterical/audition-fleeing Autumn. (Conceivably, this has something to do with the "surprise" challenge that forces the girls to throw the worst dancer/singer/actress under a bus!)
Check out this sneak peek at next week's episode and don't forget to tune in on Mon night to find out which girl the meanie casting director (Or perhaps the bitchy/flamboyant judge??) is going to "cut."
