MTV Remote Control Blog › Seth Rudetsky

I really hate goodbyes. Tonight's finale of Legally Blonde the Musical: The Search for Elle Woods also marks Seth Rudetsky's final Remote Control vlog (sniff, sniff). I gots to admit, my favorite part of each week was seeing Seth's smiling/wincing face here at the MTV.com studio, running off his trademark stream of consciousness rants and raves.

What more is there to say but, "We heart you soooo much, Seth!" XOXO!

And in true form, Mr. Broadway takes us out with a bang...

Seth Rudetsky has been working on Broadway for fifteen years. He's played piano for many shows including Les Miz, Grease and Phantom of the Opera and made his acting debut this year in The Ritz starring Rosie Perez. He's produced/conducted many benefits including Dreamgirls (with Audra McDonald, Lillias White and Heather Headley) available on Nonesuch Records and Hair (with Jennifer Hudson and Adam Pascal) available on Ghostlight Records (Grammy nominated).

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).

Warning: By watching the below video blog, you risk the following involuntary physical reactions: simultaneous laughing/crying, snorting water and/or food from the nostrils, mild dry-heaving, and in .005% of viewers, repetitive (yet not unpleasant) seizing.

Watch Seth Rudetsky deconstruct yet another episode of Legally Blonde the Musical: The Search for Elle Woods... if you dare. This week's critique concentrates mainly on Autumn's inopportune gastric attack, the correct definition of "literally," and as usual, Lauren's upside down smile.
