I just downloaded (legally, of course...legally blondely) all the episodes of this show and watched them in the span of two days. Ohmigod You Guys is never going to leave my head, and I'm OBSESSED WITH THIS SHOW NOW. Thank you for recapping it!

Hi! I love this show. I can't help it. I wasn't a big fan of the movie or even the musical (caught it on MTV months ago) - but this show kicks it. I've been trying to get my best friend to watch - he wasn't interested ...until I told him about the dye jobs. He'd been to Minardi salon in NYC a few times (during his "platinum" summer) - and when I complained to him about the way Natalie and Autumn looked, he went on line ....and said Bergdorf has a really bad rep. for dying hair blond!! And boy did I see why. Yick. Autumn was smart not to let on to the other girls that she hated her hair. I thought Natlie looked awful - the shot captured in the recap was the only time it looked halfway decent. Poor Squiggy's daughter!! I also miss the grouchy, entitled Emma. Not really rooting for anyone -- I just totally dig this show! From the weird judges (creepy curly haired big shot, moustache woman, and flaboyant Sam) to the catchy tunes ... it makes my Monday nights!

Aw, geez...I can't help it, I just can't be mean to these girls anymore. Well, excepting the Evil Christian character (there's always one on every reality show, it seems).

Maybe it's because I like bad musicals and cute blondes?

One thing of note: the 'challenges' seem to have no bearing on the outcome whatsoever --the judges make no reference at all to them, their only effect seems to be get the winner of each challenge eliminated (this is not my discovery, I read this elsewhere). Maybe the producers felt that the audition/training process itself would be too boring with the batch of cornfeds. Anyway, even the auditions seem more like a formality than anything else, just lining up the cannon fodder.

Nathalie was never going to be Elle Woods. Just doesn't look the part at all. And she looks much better as a brunette.

I still believe there's a ringer in there. There's no way they'd risk the Broadway show like this.

Will the winner really go on Broadway right away? Is it a permanent gig, or just for a couple of weeks (which would explain while Laura Bell isn't so concerned about all this...she probably has a vacation coming up). Maybe whoever wins is actually being hired for a touring version?

Just wondrin'.

Oh yeah, props to MTV for putting their shows online (and making them accessible to us expatriates).

I think it is so annoying that when Duff is reading who is on "The List" she has to do the math for all of the girls. She's always like, "There are five of you left, and only two names on the list. That means two of you will go to the office and one of you will be eliminated." then she'll read the first name and say, "There's only one name left on the list, and there are four of you in front of me." It's like just read it already. I don't know it is just annoying to hear.
