In the current format, two daily contenders perform in a “Battle of Versions” — Llavore and her competitor Shane Luzentales earned raves from the judges as the “best battle” so far this season — with the victor proceeding to the “Face Off” against the defending champion.

Approaching the center of the stage after the announcement, Llavore appeared to be crying, when she playfully stuck her tongue out and flashed a “V” sign for the camera. That lasted a second — then she continued crying.

On Monday, Llavore was asked for her reaction to her winning moment becoming a meme, with “It’s Showtime” host Amy Perez showing her one such clip on TikTok during the live episode.

“I wasn’t expecting that, because that was just the normal me going out to the zoo!” Llavore quipped.

Successfully defending her title, Llavore yet again opted for a spirited reaction, this time by striking poses like a supermodel.
