Last week on Viva Hollywood, the 11 contestants were taught about the art of romantic lovemaking for the camera. Berto Colon emerged as the challenge winner, while Alexcy Aranguren ended up going home.

Tonight, the search for the next best soap opera star continues as the 10 remaining hopefuls are given “ugly makeovers.”  Read on for a preview.

'The third installment of Viva Hollywood features Maria Conchita, a former Miss Venezuela, as she announces that contestants must walk the runway and perform a talent in order to compete in the first annual Viva Hollywood pageant.  Unfortunately, the loser will have to leave the show immediately.

Tension ensues when two contestants choose the same talent and one contestant dancer herself sick, literally.  Pageant expert Scott Grossman will be gracing this episode to help teach the contestants how to work the runway.  As expected, a twist occurs when Mexico's Ugly Betty, Angelica Vale, arrives to inform the contestants that they are all getting Ugly Betty makeovers and must compete as hideous characters.

Who will master the seven deadly sins of telenovelas? And more importantly, who will win the contract with Telemundo, a breakout role in one of its upcoming telenovelas and a grand prize of $100,000?  According to Maria Conchita Alonso, Venezuela-raised actress who serves as one of the judges of Viva Hollywood, she is on the lookout for real talent.

“Because I am an actor, I respect someone who has talent,” she said.  “I don't go for looks. I don't go for craziness and scandal. Of course, being not bad-looking helps a lot.”

So far, VH1 has shot seven episodes of Viva Hollywood, and Alonso says she is eager to do more.
“I am ready for season two,” she said.

Fans can catch a new episode of Viva Hollywood every Sunday at 10pm on VH1.
