On the show, they made it appear as if Cassie O. needed prompted by Nikki when the line was dropped. That isn't what happened in the full audition: http://www.mtv.com/overdrive/?id=1589033&vid=239652

So they are editing the show to make people's auditions look worse than they were. Reality my ass.

Welcome to the world of reality TV. There is nothing real about it.

And you're surprised....?

You haven't watched the amazingly awesome Exposed series where they uncover reality television secrets. It's great!

Not surprised - just thought I'd point it out.

Seth Rudetsky's deconstructing video of episode #2

Seth is too Amahzing for words. I love that he refuses to say the name of the show.

so watching the full auditions i have come into a few opinions:

Bailey is super cute etc. but I liked her a bit less than I did just from the show. i still like her though and glad she got ahead

I now also really really like Autumn, and I was suprised to find Cassie S. pretty good as well.

My dislike of Celina was just reiterated and I still don't know why she went forward.

Emma... she actually is a decent actress, but she's just not elle woods... like at all. (in her audition she looks like she's about to punch Nikki in the face, not cool Emma, not cool)

Lindsey... overacting much? No wonder she was in the bottom 3. She does have the pretty thing working for her though.

I love Seth's guns. I also like Autumn. Is it just me or does Lauren kind of resemble Jaime Lynn Spears?

[maya5892]

After watching the auditions, Autumn is definitely my favorite actress. She was very "Elle Woods".

After watching the full auditions, I decided I'm not a fan of Lindsay's voice. It's just not a voice I want to keep hearing. :-/ I still think Autumn is uber Elle and Lauren is Jaime Lynn Spears.

I think the editing on this show is pretty awful, and not in a people are being made to look bad way but in a what the hell are they thinking, there's no continuity sort of way. I remain intrigued but baffled... absolutely baffled.

Does anyone like Natalie cause she is my favorite?

[Alison88]

Posted: 6/10/08 at 1:28am

I was a fan of Natalie's acting last night, but as far as the girl I think could play Elle 8x a week and look semi-seasoned, I still hand it to Autumn. That is just my opinion.

Natalie was the one that had the sobbing meltdown BEFORE the audition. She can barely handle the stress of the audition, no way can she handle the role.

They all totally failed the dropped line test. I don't think any of them should be on Broadway.

i feel the same way!!!

go becky and annaleigh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Autumn is by far the best of the bunch.
I can't stand the others...

"Natalie was the one that had the sobbing meltdown BEFORE the audition. She can barely handle the stress of the audition, no way can she handle the role."

Keep in mind editing. There is no guarantee that happened before that audition.

And, in my personal experience, auditions (especially a long audition process) are always more stressful than performance.

Seriously. What's really funny is I was there one night at Blonde where during that scene Becky actually did drop a line (the "your dvds got me in shape..." bit, for those who are curious), and she and Nikki picked it up and went on like nobody's business- I doubt if you'd never seen the show before you would have even noticed. Made watching last night all the more painful.

Although "quality time with Nikki Snelson" is absolutely *hilarious* to me right now, so I am glad the show gave me that.

As I am watching, I think there is something so cute about Celina. She just seems so likeable. Not right for Elle but great for RENT, or Wicked Ensemble. I really think Autumn could win. She seems the most professional in every aspect. I do think the judges have a huge thing for Bailey though. I think all the girls got better this week and I don't think it's fair Cassie O went home. She has an amazing voice. Cassie S is the one who is just plain annoying and I would not take a comp to watch on a stage.

First off... not one on that show is "legendary"... please... gag me with a spoon... nd Seth is trying wayyyyy to hard to be the "Simon" character.

As for as the girls go... Emma has got to be cut... I don't know why they keep saying that "she has something bout her." she sucks.

I think the finl three will be Bailey, Cassie S. and Lauren.

In my mind Autumn seems like she could hold up, and I could picture her playing the role. She seems very mature, unlike Celina who is the same age. I just see her more in the role.

I also like Cassie S. but she seems a little young, she'd be a great Serena though.

The Emma Saga

Bernie- She has something about her.
Heather- I'm still not seeing ELLE.
Paul- Where have I seen her before?
Bernie- She looks like that girl in La Cage.
Heather- Nah can't be her.
Heather- Didn't her dad direct Litle Shop a few seasons ago?

(Enter Tony Nominated Actress Kerry Butler)

Kerry- Duh.
Paul- Who's that?
Heather- I don't know... probably one of the top 20 girls.

(Kerry storms off)
