Warning: Watching the above clip from “Viva Hollywood” made us hit ourselves in the face repeatedly with the remote control and then set our roommate on fire using only KahlĂșa and a bong. You may want to watch with your hand over your eyes.
On this week’s episode of every Latino’s favorite show “Viva Hollywood,” Walter Mercado challenged the remaining seven contestants to perform a musical telenovela scene. (Cop Rock, anyone?) According to co-host Carlos Ponce, “the musical telenovela is a huge and growing genre in the business.” Is this true, or is he just talking about Rebelde?
Of course, before the competition even began, there was plenty of drama in the Casa when Sylvia had to resign from the show suddenly because of a mysterious family emergency. That kind of sucks because she was our favorite female contestant, but whatever. We’re one less person closer to the end of this hell. In the above video, Maria Conchita Alonso in Dee Snyder eye makeup introduces a flamenco number (of course) performed by Roseni and Geovanni that shockingly didn’t get him voted off the show. (Sadly, that honor went to little, gay Enrique.) We challenge you not to cringe through it. While loading a semi-automatic weapon. Also, look out for the Charo cameo. Just before you start shooting from a bell tower, that is.

That was utterly horrifying. Why did that girl refer to what she had done as “singing”? They both sounded like tone-deaf coyotes being tortured. At least their dancing was magnificent. No…I can’t even say that with a straight face. They’ve created a new genre: Flamenkelefante. Good work, Charo!
