OMG! OMG you guys! Legally Blonde the Musical: The search for Elle Woods concludes tonight at 10

I know what's on all of your minds. "Who's going to be the next Elle Woods on Broadway?" MTV's pink-core reality hit concludes tonight, with the winner snagging the prize of replacing Laura Bell Bundy in Legally Blonde The Musical.

I know you've been following along, but in case you haven't here's what's gonna go down tonight:

There are three contestants left:

Annoying Southern belle Bailey
Dippy-to-the-max Rhiannon
Inching-past-her-prime Autumn

Survey

(Methinks Lauren got jobbed in last week's episode, but that's life.)

The way it works is that the Broadway show's casting director — who we've not met yet — only wants to see two contestants in the final audition, which means that the finale will start, ostensibly, with one of the three remaining contestants getting the boot.

So call it, CritMass readers.

Remember:

Bailey's got the dance moves and the "look."
Autumn's got the voice and the maturity.
Rhiannon's got the "it" factor.

Place your bets wisely.

Actually, we met Jerry Mitchell, who will make the final call, in the first episode of the show. Then he disappeared for the last six weeks. I'm surprised Rhiannon outlasted Lauren, and am predicting Rhiannon leaves in the beginning and Autumn beats Bailey in the final.

Oops. Good call, Rich. Forgot about Mitchell in ep. 1. Hope you're right about Autumn. Can't stand Bailey and Rhiannon doesn't appear to have the endurance to finish a number.
