On March 10th Univision's hit show "Nuestra Belleza Latina" will air its seventh season.
The beauty pageant reality show will put 12 young women selected by the judges to compete for the title of Nuestra Belleza Latina. The winner will earn a cash prize of $250,000 and become a personality for Univision.
The show will see actress and talk show host Gisele Blondet return as host. It will also feature the return of its controversial judges Osmel Sousa, former Miss Universe Lupita Jones, and actor Julian Gil, who is currently starring in UniMas' soap Opera "Quien Eres Tu?". The 2013 series will also feature actress and former Miss Universe Alicia Machado as a judge.
During the course of the show, the participants will have to display skills and talents in such areas as acting, modeling, and reporting.
The participants had to auditions in front of the judges and were asked to show off one talent in order to make it to Miami. After the auditions, the girls underwent a strict regiment of training and dieting. The trainers then eliminated a series of girls who they believed were not apt for the competition. A total of 40 girls were left and the judge's task is to narrow that number down to 12.
Auditions were held in Puerto Rico, New York, Houston, Chicago, Phoenix, San Jose and Miami. There was also a virtual casting where the audience selected their favorite.
Past winners that have enjoyed successful careers with Univision include Vanessa De Roide, Nastassja Bolivar, Anna Patricia Gonzalez, Greydis Gil, Melissa Marty and Alejandra Espinoza.
The show will air on Sunday at 8 pm with the audition highlights. It will replace the successful series "Lo Que Mas Quieres."
