Another week cardiac output Paulette Acosta, Giselle dancing with the girls and the pace of Tito el Bambino marked the sixth show of Nuestra Belleza Latina 2011. The 11 participants were subjected to two major tests during the week: report from a construction site through any obstacle and a pole dancing sensual dance where they had to demonstrate their agility as athletes and dancers at the challenge of pole dancing. Pretty generally conductive, Giselle Blondet, is responsible for encouraging girls during the tests but this time wanted to show solidarity with them and learn the choreography of the show opening. The audience went crazy when Giselle went to the dance floor to shake your hips to the rhythm of mambo and demonstrate that if they compete, the girls would be in serious trouble to snatch the crown. This challenge was held secret for a week and eleven girls did not know what to expect when they arrived at the location, in miniskirts and heels. Once there were reported to be reported from a construction site without suspecting that the production would submit to all sorts of obstacles to measuring the calm before the cameras in front of unexpected situations. When Nuestra Belleza Latina participants were in full report at all surprised by the sound of a drilling machine that kept driving their interviews or listen to their interviews. All of them will cast a valde of water and mud as they were about to close his report that helped the jury to measure who responded and who are naturally frozen on camera. If you thought the treacherous catwalk last week was difficult, the challenges of this week confirmed that this competition is getting tougher. During the week the candidates had to rehearse sexy choreography, in which used as tools from chairs to a tube, activity that was not all easy because each had to demonstrate physical dexterity and could not always look as seductive as intended. Our dear Charytín was encouraging them and watching their development to qualify. Diana Cano was really distressed testing tube and surprised all with his shyness and concern about what your coworkers think of her Wall Street. Darla proved to be the most agile of the group, and a good companion to teach Gredmarie their best moves. After the challenges came time to decide. They announced the candidate with fewer votes from the public and the two who had received worse grades on the challenges. The girl with the fewest public votes was Paulette Acosta, and she joined Villa and Diana Cano Jocell with lower qualifications. It's time for the girls to save someone and no one would believe to be saved. Nothing more, nothing less than Diana Cano, the most direct of all participants.

Members of the production are just as surprised as you, threatening to have a heart attack if this season continues with the weekly riots which completely change the dynamics of each domingo. Embarazos Nuestra Belleza Latina hidden illness, resignations and Rijo Audris Osmel Sousa and this week the scandal that forced Cabrera to leave the competition. Before addressing the issue of Juliette, we saw what happened in the week. There's tests of skill and there is evidence of honesty. And in the latter won, surprise, Diana Cano. The girls had to write a private letter several truths of others and of themselves without knowing that such contents be revealed to all. And what's that ensued when revelaron. Maribel De Santiago lost her temper and Diana Cano accused of being a liar, screaming. Diana Cano did not pay much attention because in this show with great sadness she was reminded of her ex-boyfriend and shed many tears for him showing that she is vulnerable and has a good heart. The girls were asked to seal their letters and pledge their veracity and only Diana Cano had the courage to seal her letter with her name. Although Miriam Hernández seemed shy and coy, she left all the girls shocked. This week Miriam and Juliette had a heated argument. Miriam called Juliette a "prostitute" and Juliette threw water at Miriam, causing Miriam to react by throwing a plate of food at Miriam. The challenge of the week was marred by some compromising photos of Juliette Cabrera that emerged in social networks and the internet. Juliette posed suggestively and production met to define whether this violated the official rules of competition must abide by all the judges participantes. Los Cabrera explained that Juliet was not on trial for his life, but for violating the rules and because the public viralizó their photos by creating this scandal. Production determined that her photos were objectionable and that they violated the rules that they all signed up to participate in the competition as Juliet Cabrera left the competencia. Pero which would be the surprise when he left Juliet Cabrera announced the entry of the girls that was previously deleted. Who would? Before this big announcement, we review the challenge of chicas .El Nuestra Belleza Latina challenge this week was won by which they were physically better prepared because they had to imitate the training routine performed by the Fire Department Broward County. It was not only so, but do it as fast possible. The participants faced an extreme challenge in a large building where there was everything: a lot of weight on the body, a dark room, alleged victims, a lot of adrenaline and physical exertion, but next to very handsome men. The success of the test depended on the ability of girls to work in pairs (although some were uneven). Production divided them: Juliet Cabrera and Miriam Hernandez, Diana Cano and Maribel De Santiago, Gredmarie Columbus and Nicole Smith, Darla Delgado and finally Villa Jocell Nastassja Bolivar and Patricia Corcino. The winners were Patricia Corcino and Nastassja Bolivar who were rewarded with a dinner with Alejandro Chaban and assist Giselle Blondet at the Mana concert in Miami.

The music guest was Joey Montana who sang his song "Ta Melodía". The competition was made more difficult as former 2003 Miss Universe Amelia Vega from the Dominican Republic announced the challenge of the week. Amelia was like a fairy godmother for girls and accompanied them during their visit to the Miami Zoo to test the challenge of judges and that was the wildest of the season. The test was to enter a cave with reptiles; Nastassja Bolivar stopped to cry because she has a phobia of snakes. A paramedic had to measure her tension in the dressing room to monitor their anxiety, but found that was able to continue. Curiously, despite her fear, Nastassja Bolivar won the second best score for this challenge with 26 points after Darla Delgado who scored 28 points. Jocell Villa received the lowest score, followed by Nicole Suarez and Diana Cano. Nicole Suarez and Jocell Villa were in front of the judges and they saved Nicole Suarez.

At panel the six Finalist are announced. In past editions, some participants were displayed as the strongest in the tournament but this year it has been different since each gala has surprised us with strange and unexpected eliminations. The best challenge of the season no doubt was held at the offices of NuestraBellezaLatina.com where Jenny Arzola, Gredmarie Colon, Patricia Corcino, Diana Cano, Nastassja Bolivar, Miriam Hernandez and Nicole Suarez were assigned each with a photo of a celebrity in which they would have to transform and imitate. The girls were glammed up and combed to imitate each photo but it was difficult to imitate the perfect pose and attitude in a photo shoot with photographer Felipe Cuevas, under the guidance of a master of imitation, Mexican actress Angélica Vale. Angélica Vale, star of our next web novel, No Me Hallo, determined that Miriam Hernandez, who imitated Shaila Dúrcal, was the best photograph and was awarded $1,000 on Univision MasterCard card. She also received a professional photo shoot for her portfolio. The reward challenge was led by the famous brand JCPenney, and in honor of Mother's Day the girl's mothers would be part of the weekly activity. The girls paraded with their mothers, except Diana Cano and Hernández Miriam who marched with her best friend and grandmother respectively. One of the most emotional moments of this gala was the message that Diana Cano received from her mother who was in Ecuador, Diana cried and proved once again that she is not as cold and strong as she looks. The winners of this challenge were Nasstassja Bolivar and her mother who celebrated with many hugs and kisses. JCPenney taught the girls how to dress for the spring season in the virtual closet. Dancing with the most handsome guys from Univision in Episode 9 was a success but not easy, dancing different genres had been a task that required much effort, but it falls short of what the girls lived in the tenth gala where they had to present TV segments and were coached by Bárbara Bermudo, Chiquinquirá Delgado, Marisa del Portillo, Lili Estefan, Maria Elena Salinas, Jackie Guerrido and Lourdes Stephen. The girls moved their bodies to the rhythm grupero Intocable. The guys from this band prepared a great show of good humor to put our beloved "iron judge" Osmel Sousa to dance. Jenny Arzola from Cuba went straight to the judges for having the fewest votes. Nasstasja Bolivar and Diana Cano were also in the bottom three, but the other constestants saved Nastassja. In the end, Diana went with Jenny to face the judges. Diana Cano was eliminated by the judges in the tenth gala, after being saved several times by her fellow contestants.

In order to break the tie, the decision was brought back to the public vote. Among the two, Darla received the second lowest number of votes, landing her in the bottom two. Diana was saved by default.
3. ^ During the week of the semifinal, there were two separate eliminations.
