Miss Universe 2003 to host ‘Suegras’ on Azteca America.

Amelia Vega, former Miss República Dominicana and Miss Universe, will be hosting Azteca America’s innovative reality show “Suegras.”

“Amelia was selected for her exceptional talent, and we expect her national stature and Dominican heritage to serve as a bridge to all Hispanic audiences, especially given the spectacular participants, who represent a broad array of Hispanic American cultures,” said Bob Turner, President of Network Sales for Azteca America.

Participants boast heritage from countries throughout the Hemisphere, including Puerto Rico, Uruguay, Cuba, Colombia, Uruguay and Venezuela, as well as Mexico.

The format places 12 women seeking the loves of their lives in a close living situation, along with six men ready to marry … and their mothers.

Weekly challenges for the men and women, as well as the suegras, reveal more about true motives and habits, as well as potential conflicts.

This interactive ten-week show will include audience voting through Terra.com, as well as SMS voting. However, it is the “suegra,” or the mother-in-law, who will have the last word on who is worthy of her son in this reality format with limitless product integration opportunities.
