Episode 4 {March 25, 2012} (Selected top 12 finalists to compete in Nuestra Belleza Latina 2012) edit

In the third show of Nuestra Belleza Latina, 24 semi-finalists opened the show dancing the theme of Rihanna "We Found Love" with super sexy silver dresses. Twelve of them were to receive the news that would enter the house of beauty to compete for a contract with Univision and $250,000. This night was a gala full of nerves and emotions. Giselle Blondet informed us that the Venezuelan Gretchen Serrao left the competition due to personal problems. Last week the girls had their first challenge, quinceañera dress and reflect the sweetness of the time to go out in the May issue of Seventeen magazine, the winners were Nataliz Jimenez, Ligia de Uriarte and Vanessa de Roide. Julian assumed that among the winners two were of his team, Nataliz of Dominican Republic and Ligia of Mexico.

The time to reveal the result reached by the public for two weeks to vote for their favorites. Cindy, Ligia, Ximena and Adriana were the first who took the stage for your future in Nuestra Belleza Latina, Cindy but was saved by the votes of the public did not survive the second round.

They have not yet entered the mansion and the girls begun to have conflicts, Giselle showed us the video. Patricia Cardona criticized Karla Marquez for her dance and Essined Aponte criticized Vanessa de Roide, her compatriot. De Roide stated that it upsets her. Elizabeth said Lidislay did not do well in the recording of this talent.

The first bed in the mansion was to Nataliz Jimenez and the second for the Cuban Elizabeth Robaina, the girls met Julian Group 47 percent of the votes from the public. Will Cuba take another crown? Greydis Gil of Cuba obtained the crown in 2009. Nataliz showed his talent of heroin and Elizabeth imitated Osmel Sousa.

Osmel Girls took the stage, the first runner up was Naomi Marroquin of Guatemala, who confessed she did not think being elected by her Spanish. She showed her talent in martial arts. The second chosen by the audience was Shalimar Rivera of Puerto Rico, she sang a song of India.

Lupita Jones' group, Fanny Vargas was the first choice and of course she could not hold back her tears. Osmel did not make the way easy for her, but Lupita supported and is confident that will fight for the crown. Ivanna Rodriguez was the second choice, she showed her talent for acting.

The singer Pablo Montero arrived with his mariachi to sing "Serenata Huasteca" and the girls go crazy. The Mexican pleased a fan with a kiss and Giselle had the pleasure of pinching.

The girls were taught Marcelo Crudele boxing, boxing coach Dale heartily.

Julian elected two more girls Ligia de Uriarte of Mexico, who auditioned in Houston, and Chanty Vargas of Puerto Rico. Lupita elected the Puerto Ricans Vanessa de Roide and Tatiana Ares.

Osmel Sousa explained that it seeks diversity but a real queen with elegance and class. Karol Scott, Venezuelan, was his choice and she showed us her talent for dancing samba. And the last room in the mansion was for the Mexican/Iranian Setareh Khatibi.

Notes edit

1 – This contestant was initially going to be in danger of elimination, but the results of the live challenge saved her from elimination.
2 – This contestant was initially safe from elimination, but the results of the live challenge caused her to be in danger of elimination.
3 – During gala 07, there was no live challenge, and only the two girls in danger faced the risk of elimination. The rest of the contestants were put through simultaneously during the first elimination, and individually during the second elimination.
  • Each judge may give the contestant a score that ranges from 1-10. There are three judges, meaning that the greatest possible score is 30 points.
  • Elimination and weekly ranks are determined by the public vote. The three contestants with the fewest votes from the public each week, are within danger of elimination. Contestants may escape the danger zone if they receive a high score from the judges for their performance at the live challenge, and if their added scores are high enough. In contrast, contestants that were initially safe, may have to face the risk of elimination if they receive a low score from the judges, and fall below the line of safety.
