'Nuestra Belleza Latina' 2015 Recap: Ricky Martin Performs 'Adios;' 12 Contestants Chosen for the NBL Mansion [Pics]
Now that auditions are over, the competition just got more interesting.
For the first real show, Ricky Martin arrived to perform his song, "Adios." All the women that were given a pass to Miami joined Martin up on stage as he sang. (Watch the performance here.)
Unfortunately for them, an elimination quickly happened. The women faced a round of questions, and while some excelled, others did not. The judges used this challenge to narrow the contestants down to 20.
Martin wasn't the only special guest. "Hasta El Fin Del Mundo" villain Julian Gil portrayed a scientist. He managed to bring out many of the women's personalities.
The women were also challenged to an impromptu news challenge with Carlos Calderon.
Zuleyka Rivera and a group of the contestants danced around to Meghan Trainor's "All About That Bass." And though there were a lot of fun moments throughout the show, there was another cut.
By the end of the night, the 12 who would be going to the NBL mansion were announced.
