I love this show. It is so addicting. There is really nothing innapropriate about this show at all. Very rarely cursing occurs and when it does it's bleeped unless it's very mild. If your kids are interested in watching this show, LET THEM. It's great. Especially if you're a fan of the movie.

What Parents Need to Know
About Legally Blonde the Musical: The Search for Elle Woods
Parents need to know that, after they see this upbeat, girl-centric reality series, young fans will probably want to make a pilgrimage to Broadway to see Legally Blonde on stage. Because contestants are auditioning with songs, dances, and dialogue from the musical, the show essentially functions as one long commercial for it. Still, even though the material leans heavily on girlish stereotypes, it ultimately offers young women a strong female role model who reminds us that you shouldn't judge a book by its cover -- especially if it's pink. Expect a few bleeped swear words and a bit of cattiness, but overall, this is tame for reality TV -- and, not incidentally, tamer than the movie the musical is based on, which is appropriate for teens and up.

I have been in love with Elle Woods ever since I saw Legally Blonde... I think the girls on this show are amazing because of how much they want to be the next Elle Woods... As long as they all stick their mind to it the competition will be very hard... They sing, and dance, and act and they are for sure lots of peoples role models including mine...
