Clarissa Molina is the newest reigning "Nuestra Belleza Latina VIP" queen. Univision viewers voted for the winner and it was the Dominican beauty that received the most support. This is the first time in the show’s history that contestants from same country of origin and representing the same city, New York, hold on to the crown for two consecutive seasons. This edition of the most popular beauty competition among Hispanics in the U.S. gave finalists from past seasons a second chance to grab the crown, and Molina stood out with grace, passion and talent.
However, not all viewers of "NBL VIP" were happy with the outcome. This always happens when people invest time in their favorite show and support someone with immense passion. After Molina was declared winner of the 10th season, many took to social media to cry "fraud" on the finale. We have reproduced some of these statements below. Read them and tell us if you think Clarissa Molina winning the competition was fair.
In the last installment of NBL’s all-star round, the Dominican beauty competed with three other finalists: Catherine Castro from Puerto Rico, Setareh Khatibi,Mexican American from Los Angeles, and Colombian contestant Bárbara Turbay who represented Miami. In addition to the admiration of viewers who voted for her, Molina will take home prizes worth $200,000, including a 2016 Kia Optima, and a contract to grace Univision Network screens for a year.
Barbara Turbay was left in fourth place after fierce voting from viewers and jury, and Catherine Castro took the third spot for the second year in a row. In addition, Setareh Khatibi was awarded a scholarship at CEA, Televisa’s prestigious acting school in Mexico.

Puerto Rican reggaetón sensation Wisin, performed “Corazón acelerado,” had everyone’s heart racing as the girls hit the catwalk for the bathing suit portion.
