June 24 (2007-06-24) – October 14, 2007 (2007-10-14)
Buscando a Timbiriche, La Nueva Banda was a Mexican reality show set to look for the new, re-make of the '80s and '90s Mexican band Timbiriche, hosted by Galilea Montijo. The show premiered on June 24, 2007, in Mexico on Canal de las Estrellas and on July 1, 2007 in the United States on Univision a week later from its original live air in Mexico. The show concluded on October 14, 2007, in Mexico, having Brisia, Fernanda, Alberto, Gaby, Eduardo, Taide, and Yurem as the seven new members of the brand new re-made band Timbiriche. Their first CD was released on November 30, 2007. The band announced their decision to split at their final concert in Nuevo Laredo in May 2009.
Contestants
The red color on contestants signifies their expulsion from the show.
The blue signifies the 7 winners of the show.
30 participants (15 guys and 15 girls) ranging from ages 15–22 were chosen to enter the reality show and will live in "Escuela Timbiriche (Timbiriche School)".
Judging
Each week each will be scored on their singing and dancing performance by 3 tables of judges. The scores range from 1-10.
Honor Roll
From episodes 1-9, the 6 contestants (3 guys and 3 girls) that receive the highest GPA will be placed in the "Cuadro de Honor (Spanish for Honor Roll)". And the 2 that come in first will receive a special privilege for the week. Starting from episode 10, there will be only one scoreboard (for all contestants, guys and girls), and the top two will compete to be selected as a new member of the new band.
Reported
On the other hand, from episodes 1-9 the bottom 3 males and the bottom 3 females that receive the lowest GPA will be "Reportado (Reported)" and will be up for expulsion from the show.
Starting from episode 10 until the 14th, all contestants were reported. Since the 14th, no remaining contestant was eliminated, therefore no more reported students.
Expulsions
From episodes 1-9, on the day of the expulsions, two of the six Reported will be saved by the Timbiriche Council.
The four still Reported will depend on the public vote, the two that receive the higher number of votes will be saved and the other two will be expelled. Starting from episode 10 until the 14th, the student at the bottom of the overall scoreboard (with the lower GPA and public votes) will be automatically expelled at the end of each episode.
Total number of members
The show was supposed to end with three guys and three girls as the new members of the newly re-made Timbiriche, but after much consideration of the show and the original members of the band, the newly formed band consists of seven members, with the final members being four girls and three guys.
Prize
The chosen members of the band will not only receive a record deal, but will go on tour throughout Mexico and starr in a telenovela (Mexican soap opera).
Judges
Creators
These are the people that in their own ways helped create Timbiriche:
Marco Flavio Cruz
Martha Zavaleta
Luis de Llano
Amparo Rubín (who replaced Memo Méndez Guiú)
Consejo Timbiriche (Timbiriche Council)
These are the original members of Timbiriche (except Paulina Rubio) and each will have a vote.
This is made up of lifelong fans of the original band. They, as a group, cast one vote for each contestant.
Results
These are the results that were announced at the end of each episode of Timbiriche.
