Querido’s Breakdown
“If India is on, I think she’ll take it. She just won a few shows back to back and she’s a great competitor. She has been close before, she earned her stripes. But it’s very interesting with the top three. They all bring something different. Nathalia brings more of a bad girl kind of look. She’s more sexy and definitely lights up the stage.. For her to place well, she needs to bring in her backside. Nicole knows how to light up the stage with more of a cheerleading-type of attitude. She’s a crowd pleaser in her own way, and she’s maturing and is the most consistent.”

“After that it’s kind of all over the place, it could go a lot of ways. Marcela competed a lot last year, she has that experience on stage and has been on stage more than some of the newer girls. Just their Expereiicne on stage , Marcela been on stage more than some of the newer girls. I like Noy’s look but there could be another experienced competitor like a Jessica Paxson in there, she has great stage presence too.”
