Legally Blonde: Week 2

Sorry that's it's taken a while to get this out, but here is a recap of what happened last week on Legally Blonde: The Search For the Next Elle Woods.


After meeting with Laura Bell Bundy, the girls moved into their "pink" loft in NY with a beautiful skyline view. The girls celebrated by drinking and have already broken a glass.


The next day, the girls started the unique audition that no one has gone through in the past. The girls received a call sheet telling them to come in the next day dressing casual and comfortable. The 10 finalists next met up with Marc Bruni, Associate Producer of Legally Blonde where they had their first acting workshop. When they arrived, Bailey was called out for wearing heels, but told Marc that she had shoes.


An actor came in to read with them, and Marc was able to give them constructive criticism. Once again, Bailey was called out, but this time it was for her southern accent. After working really hard, Marc chose Bailey as the best reader of the day and as a prize, Lindsey and Bailey went to spend time with Nicole Ruth Snelson, who currently is playing Brooke Wyndham in Legally Blonde.


The girls were told that they would have to do a scene with Snelson and that Bailey and Lindsey had an advantage since they were spending time with the veteran actress before the scene, while nobody else would have that chance. The girls got to see the scene that they were going to do with her called the Delta Nu Nu Nu scene. While Bailey and Lindsey were hanging out with Nicole, the other girls were trying to work together with no success.


At the audition, Bernie Telsey decided to throw a curveball at the girls and asked Nicole to forget one line during the audition to see how the hopefuls would react. Lindsey came up first and totally froze. Cassie S, as well as every other girl did the same thing and froze up, but the most memorable actress was Celina. Not only did she freeze up but also she started to do this, all I can say is un called for, hand signals that left Telsey in shock. The only other shocker was Cassie O. After her audition, Bernie commented that he did not see Elle Woods in her performance.


After the judges' deliberation, the seven girls who were safe were announced as Bailey, Lauren, Emma, Natalie, Rhiannon, Autumn and Celina. The other three, which consisted of Cassie O, Cassie S and Lindsey, were sent to the Casting Office. In the Casting Office, Bernie said that Lindsey looked like the perfect Elle. Unfortunately, there were 4 other girls who look the same as her. Cassie S. was told that she has the tools and technique to succeed, but there is too much of her being shown. Cassie O. was told that she was not fully there and Bernie said that she had the best voice, but was not what they were looking for as she was cut and sent home.


Tune in every Monday night at 10PM on MTV for the next episode to see who will become the next Elle Woods as Legally Blonde continues.
