The night of Sunday was emotive and exciting for the participants of Nuestra Belleza Latina 2014, with the reveal of the four finalists of the contest who had to face a new challenge with Joami Goyso, and who during a press conference had to answer the questions of real journalists, besides acting on stage with Gabriel Valenzuela.

The eighth episode made the five remaining participants tremble as they had to give their best efforts to avoid being eliminated from the competition for the crown. The beauties were accompanied by their mothers during the celebration of Mother's Day, and they also had the support of Mexican Paty Cantú, who was in charge of sprucing up the night along with Vadhir Derbez.

During the night, the contestants were divided into groups and had to fight for the love of Valenzuela during the challenge. Another challenge for the models was sponsored by Colgate; in it, the young women had to pose with great smiles, with Josephine Ochoa being the winner, taking home $10,000 dollars.

Aly Villegas, the Mexican participant who auditioned in Chicago, was the first to pass into the finals. Aly assured in between tears that she never imaged she would be accepted during auditions and less so reaching the finals of the most important Latino beauty contest in the United States.

The second lucky participant looking for the crown of Nuestra Belleza Latina 2014 was Josephine Ochoa, followed by Nabila Tapia, who was the third to pass into the finals. The Dominican opened her heart to the audience and shared the stories of her parents and her husband.

The time of the most important decision of the semifinals arrived. Everyone waited in suspense for Osmel to reveal the name of the last beauty to be eliminated. Aleyda Ortíz and Alina Robert awaited Osmel's words with greater uncertainty; however, Alina was the last participant to say goodbye before the great finale.

Next week, the great winner of the crown will be revealed. Don't stop voting for your favorite beauty in the next link.
