La Academia: Segunda Oportunidad


Segunda Oportunidad is a Mexican reality show produced by TV Azteca and Azteca América that reunites non-winning contestants from the first seven seasons of La Academia as well as La Academia USA and is hosted by Rafael Araneda, Betty Monroe and Miss Universe 2003 Amelia Vega. The 52 contestants, divided into teams of four members each, spend each week at an isolated location learning and developing their artistic skills, then compete against each other during a weekly concert for TV viewers and a live studio audience and face elimination. Producers stated the composition of each team on March 10, 2010.
The 52 contestants will be living in Emilio "Indio" Fernandez's home.
Only 2 contestants were not announced for the competition, but instead were left six hopeful contestants were placed on an online vote, where viewers needed to choose between Jolette, Azeneth, Anahí, Gerardo, Luis Armando, or Raúl Sandoval. On March 17, 2010, the voting was closed; Anahí and Gerardo were chosen.
On April 25, 2010, Diana Galindo asked if she can take part in the program. She has been given the chance through an open vote by the public, where they will decide whether she joins the contest or not. On May 9, during concert 7, Diana became the 53rd contestant.
Melissa, Israel, and Alejandra were placed on an open vote by the public, for breaking the show's rules. The public would decide if they could stay for a second chance or go. During the 7th concert, all three were voted to stay and became the part of a new, 14th group: gray.
