In Argentina, the show was broadcast on Channel 13 as a segment inside the television program "Showmatch", hosted by Marcelo Tinelli. It started on 9 August 2007, featuring an all-female cast. The segment was called "Patinando por un Sueño" (Ice-Skating for a Dream) due to the titles of the other segments: "Bailando por un Sueño" (Dancing for a Dream) and "Cantando por un Sueño" (Singing for a Dream).
It premiered on 13 August 2006 and sparked protests by soap opera directors produced by the broadcaster, after actors who participated in such soap operas were injured in the rehearsals or presentations of the painting.
The competition had three seasons, ending on 25 November 2007.
Murilo Rosa (season 1), Iran Malfitano (season 2) and Leandro Scornavacca (season 3) were the winners of the respective seasons of the competition.
