Bailando por un Sueño (Argentina season 3)

Bailando por un Sueño 3 was the third argentinian season of Bailando por un Sueño. The season, first aired on October 2, 2006, and was part of the original show, Showmtach broadcast on Canal 13, and hosted by Marcelo Tinelli, as well as the previous season, that finished a month before. This time, there were 15 couples competing, and the competition duration was of 12 weeks. The winner was revealed on the season finale, on December 21, 2006 and it was the model, TV host and actress Carla Conte, who was paired with the professional dancer, Guillermo Conforte.

In this third season, the panel of judges was presided until November 23, 2006 by entrepreneur and TV producer/host Gerardo Sofovich, alongside journalist Jorge Lafauci, actress and dancer Moria Casán, and actress and dancer Reina Reech. On Tuesday, November 21, Mr. Sofovich announced that he would be resigning his post as the panel of judges’ president on account of what he felt were “some participants’ insolence and lack of respect for the judges”, and his vexation at the quarrels that had involved him (first with celebrity Laura Fidalgo, with whom he had already had an altercation before the contest, then with Javier Rojas, and lastly with the recently evicted Eduardo Garro). Although the show's host and producer (and Mr. Sofovich's personal friend) Marcelo Tinelli entreated with him to stay, his production stated that his replacements will rotate weekly for the remainder of the show. For the week of November 27, former football star Diego Maradona (who had competed in the Italian Ballando con le Stelle in 2005) took over Gerardo Sofovich's seat in the panel of judges. However, Maradona's appearance lasted only one week. He was replaced with Florencia de la V (winner of the second edition of the show) for the rest of the show's run, but Moria Casán took over the juror's presidency. In the semifinals, Samuel Gelblung was Sofovich's replacement, but in the season finale, Gerardo came back to crown the winner.
