Last week on Viva Hollywood, the remaining contestants had to do a “crying game” in which they must burst into tears with a sad personal tale in a span of three minutes.  The winner, Silvia, opted to trade in her partner, Geovannie, with Berto.  To help the contestants come in touch with their feelings, the group went to an institute where they were hypnotized to experience past life regressions.  In the challenge, the group pretended to be victims of ridiculous problems and appear on a talk show with journalist, Maria Celeste, who invites them to share their sob story on the couch, Oprah-style.  Jenn and Giovannie won the challenge, and in the end, Vinci was eliminated.

Read on to find out what's in store for tonight's episode of Viva Hollywood.

The competition heats up with only eight contestants in the running.  In the fifth episode of Viva Hollywood, the contestants get a rude wake-up call from none other than Charo, singer and actress who is known for her flamboyant stage presence, provocative outfits and her trademark phrase, "cuchi-cuchi."

Also known as María del Rosario Pilar Martínez Molina Baeza Rasten, Charo reveals to the contestants that they are competing in a song and dance competition of hot Latin numbers, including the salsa, tango and flamenco.  With musical soap operas on the rise, the contestants have to put in great efforts to rise above the competition.  Later, some of the show's biggest rivals and budding romances pair off for the big show.

Giving a hand to the contestants through the process is guest choreographer Sergio Trujillo, whose credits include Chicago, Death Becomes Her, The Washing Machine Man and Playboy: Wet & Wild IV, just to name a few.

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