Objetivo Fama
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Objetivo Fama (or OF, Spanish for "Objective: Fame") is a Puerto Rican singing talent contest loosely inspired by the Spanish Operación Triunfo. Twenty or so contestants are "bunkered" in a studio/house where they will live together for several months while participating in a weekly show where one of them is eliminated, en route to find a "young star". The winner of the show gets a record deal from Univision Music. The show is currently on its third season.
Contestants are evaluated by a panel of judges, and viewers can vote on who they want to stay or leave the competition. Also, during the week they are assisted by singing and dancing teachers, stylists, costume designers, personal trainers, etc. in the studio/house to help them shape and improve their talent and image.
Objetivo Fama airs on the Univision affiliate in Puerto Rico, WLII and on the Telefutura network mainlandside (both owned by Univision Communications) and is produced by Soraya Sánchez, Ender Vega, and Nelson Ruiz (ES Television and Acisum Group).

[edit] Auditions
Before the show season starts, auditions are held at several places in Puerto Rico and the United States to pick the finalists that will be featured in the show. These are evaluated by the show's producers. When the 20 contestants are selected, they are moved to Puerto Rico where the studio/house is located.
[edit] Weekly Shows
The final weekly show is held at the Centro de Bellas Artes de Caguas (Caguas Performing Arts Centre) in the city of Caguas, Puerto Rico. The show usually starts with a big performance involving all the contestants in one song-and-dance number. Then, each contestant performs the song they had received and rehearsed during the week. Performances can vary from duos, trios, to single performances. Between participations, each contestant is interviewed and clips of the weeks happenings are shown.
After each presentation, each contestant is evaluated by the three judges. At the end of the show, the judges announce which contestants are "threatened" to leave the studio/house. Viewers then have one week to call and "save" their favorite contestant. The show closes with a performance by a guest artist.
