Alicia Machado is ready to coach the next Latina beauty queen…
The 37-year-old Venezuelan actress/singer and former Miss Universe has signed on to appear on Univision’s Nuestra Belleza Latina reality competition series.
Machado and fellow Miss Universe winner Denise Quiñones will mentor the 12 finalists, all talented Latinas from the United States and Puerto Rico, competing to be named Nuestra Belleza Latina.
Unlike previous years, this time around the 12 finalists are already known, said Univision.
The competitors will move to a luxury mansion where they will live together and compete in different challenges every week, until one finalist is left standing.
The winner will receive an exclusive contract with Univision, $200,000 in cash, a variety of other prizes and a new car.
The weekly series will have all the challenges of a traditional beauty contest, but with the added intrigue of the reality element – what goes on backstage.
This season hidden cameras will follow the drama being woven among the 12 contestants day by day in the mansion.
Along with Machado and Quiñones, Alejandra Espinoza, the first winner of Nuestra Belleza Latina and a host of Sabado Gigante, is joining the show as a presenter.
The Nuestra Belleza Latina reality competition series will begin its broadcast run on Sunday, February 12.
