Battle Of The Islands: Puerto Rico Vs Dominican Republic Show How Latino They Are
Proving your Latinidad always comes with its challenges. As part of Buzzfeed's Latino gameshow, How Latino Are You?, two contestants were put to the test. Contestants included Ivan Emilio, representing Puerto Rico, and Sahara Mendez, representing the Dominican Republic. First up, both were asked a question to test their language skills: How do you say "unfortunately" in Spanish? Five points for PR! As a follow-up chance for five bonus points, contestants were then asked if they could spell desafortunadamente. Sahara was met with some Unfortunately (no pun intended), Sahara came up a bit short when it came to spelling the word. Ivan, on the other hand, nailed the assignment. Next, Sahara and Ivan were asked how to say tonsilitis in Spanish, and let's just say, they were both stumped. While neither of them could answer the question, Ivan did come close with his guess of amigdolitis. Which resulted in him getting some points for effort. (The correct answer was amigd a litis.) Then, the two were asked how to finish a popular tongue twister from Latin America. Which Ivan then finished flawlessly. The next category on the list? Geography! To start them off, both were asked to answer what the biggest island in the Caribbean is. With Ivan correctly responding Cuba to. Quick little history pop quiz! Do you know which Caribbean country was the first to gain independence in Latin America? Drumroll Haiti! The following challenge involved putting their drawing skills to the test. Contestants were asked to draw Guatemala by memory. Let's just say, both of them fell just a tad short. A for effort? However, when it came down to trying to point out Guatemala on a map, Sahara came in for the win. For the final lightning round questions, both Sahara and Ivan were asked to guess which Latin artist is known for his salsa and has propelled to mainstream stardom. Which Ivan admitted he might have had a personal advantage over. Then they were asked who the original crossover queen artist was. Which no one was able to answer on the first try. The correct response was Gloria Estefan, which Ivan got after the duo was given hints. Last question. What year was the iconic song "Gasolina" by Daddy Yankee released? The winner for the round was Ivan, ranking a solid 60 points, while Sahara came in at 20.

How Latino Are You! Battle Of The Cubans
Welcome to Buzzfeed's gameshow, How Latino Are You?, where we test people's knowledge about Latino culture. This time it's a Battle of the Cubans. Let's meet our contestants going head to head. First off, we have Mariana, a first-generation Cuban American raised in Miami, Florida. Next up is Dariany, who grew up in New Jersey and is an on-air personality and content creator. Time for the first question. How do you spell Odontologo? Mariana takes the points for this one! Next, the two were asked how to translate a word in Spanish. Which neither of them ended up getting it correctly. Hey, it happens! Mariana got five points for giving a close answer. Tongue twisters were next. With both being asked to finish the "trabalenguas." 10 points for Dariany! For the next part of the quiz, geography was put on the table. Which resulted in two very confused contestants. After being given hints, however, Dariany correctly named Venezula as the Latin American country home to Angel Falls. The hard questions kept coming, though. With the duo then being asked to answer the below. While both Dariany and Mariana struggled to answer, a few helpful tips given via a multiple-choice format pushed them in the right direction. With Mariana correctly guessing the answer seven. Can you draw Cuba from memory? That's what these two were asked to do next. With Dariany ultimately taking home the points for this one. Pop culture fans, your time to shine is here. Do you know what was Bad Bunny's first number one Billboard hit? The correct answer is... "I Like It" with Cardi B off her album Invasion of Privacy. Next up, which Latin country does not have Independence Day on September 15? The answer, is Mexico. Finally, the last question tested their Netflix binge-watching skills. With Mariana coming in for the win. Mariana for the win!
