Young Tico Falls Short, Costa Rica Takes
Second Place. Again.
For the second year in a row Costa Ricans
have had to content with second place in the
reality show, Latin American Idol. This
year, Eduarod Aguirre of Esparza, took
second place to the Dominican Republic's
Martha Heredia.
The number of calls voting for Aguirre was
just not enough to bring him the top title,
despite the Instituto Costarricense de
Electricidad (ICE) - local phone company -
ads to vote for Aguirre. Each SMS text
message cost ¢550 colones.
If anyone knows what the young Aguiree may
be feeling is Maria José Castillo, who last
year, lived the same fate when she took
second place in the competition to Panama's
Margarita.
The Latin American Idol show is sponsored in
Latin America by Sony. Latin American Idol
producers and hosts travelled across Central
And Latin America seeking talent to showcase
in the reality show.
And like María José, Aguirre is likely to
become a local celebrity.
