La Fea Más Bella #252 4/12/07 The Bellyaching Continues
The Orthodontist took Lety’s braces off, but gave her a huge, awkward retainer; the kind you wear on the outside of your mouth. Lety screams that she looks even worse than before. The doc says that at least it’s easy to take on and off.
Tomas is on the phone with Aldo. Aldo tells Tomas that he’s going back to Acapulco. Tomas invites Aldo to stay with him and his mom. Aldo tells him thanks but no thanks. Tomas feels bad about the Lety situation. Aldo asks Tomas to take care of her, and says he paid off the Conceptos debt to free her, not to obilgarla (obligate her).
Lety asks the orthodontist is she can keep the braces; she likes to keep these kinds of mementos [I bet she still has all her baby teeth, a big childhood braid of hair, and her umbilical cord- ick!]. She notes that he has the same name as a good friend of hers… Aldo.
In Tomas’s office, Fern asks Tom for the low-down on Aldo and the debt. Tom takes another glance at the paperwork and advices that, yes, Aldo is virtually the owner of Conceptos. Fern tells Tom to call Aldo and ask him about his intentions. Tom says he will ask him as soon as he (Aldo) comes back from Acapulco. Fern wants him to find out now. Tom makes excuses, such as he doesn’t know where to find Aldo. Fern says Tom is smart, has many degrees, a great “look,” and cool haircut, so of course will be able to find Aldo. Fern walks out and Tom chases after him into the Vortex/lobby yelling that he refuses to go to Acapulco to find Aldo.
Alicia, who heard Tom’s whining, runs right over and calls him chiquito (which I don’t like Alicia using because it’s a term of endearment -- literally meaning “little one” -- which I call my 4-year old). Tom is taken aback to hear her call him chiquito. Alicia says she’d do anything to go to Acapulco. Tom falls for it and offers to take Alicia with him. Alicia begins to think aloud that it would be so nice to be alone with Aldo on the beach…. She realizes she’s saying this out loud in front of Tom and backtracks.
In his office, Fern talks to himself, trying to figure out what Aldo’s evil plan must be. He decides Omar could help him figure it out, but then argues with himself about whether he should call him. Finally convinces himself that Omar would not reject Fern’s call and he calls him. Omar tells Fern off and tells him not to bother him again before hanging up.
Fern opens the new diary and writes that he thought today would be wonderful, but it has turned into a disaster. He writes that he didn’t think he was capable of a sacrifice like this.
After hearing that Aldo paid off the Conceptos debt, his dad says it was a risky investment, but an investment nonetheless. Aldo says he had high hopes but they were shot down in an instant. Lety’s with Fern and he (Aldo) is left with nothing… NOTHING. Dad says he should let some time pass. Maybe this isn’t the love Aldo was waiting for. Aldo says he has nothing left to do but think about the future. That’s why he’s going back to Acapulco, and he’s never coming back [Oh Aldo, you big tease!].
The cuartel gossips as usual as Fern walks into the lobby to ask for Lety. They tell him she’s with Aldo. This news bugs Fern to no end. He scolds the cuartel and asks where Lety and Aldo are. PM smugly brings out a business card and tells him that here is the address for Aldo ROMERO, the orthodontist! Ha! Fern is relieved but also annoyed by their little joke.
Back in his office, Fern continues to argue with himself. He can’t believe he let Lety go. Then he reassures himself that he did the right thing. He thinks he’s going crazy and he needs to stop talking to himself. He decides that in order to feel less stupid, he needs to talk to someone more stupid then himself -- that’s Carvajal.
Alicia tells Marcia she’s going to Acapulco with Tom. She hits Marica up for travel expense money, since technically the trip is work-related. Marcia shoots her down. Tom comes in and Alicia whines to him about being broke. He offers to pay her expenses. He also tells her that she must get Marcia’s permission to go on the trip, since Marcia is her boss. Marcia grants Tom permission to take Alicia, and says he doesn’t even have to bring her back.
Omar’s phone rings and he exclaims “Fern, you are worse than a pebble in a shoe.” He answers and yells at Fern to leave him alone already. Caro answers that it’s her, not Fern. She is concerned because last time the two spoke he was very alterado (in an altered state-- that is, he was stinking mad!). She notes that now he sounds even worse. Omar invites her out for a date. Caro says she can’t because she has that show with Anais to attend; she just wanted to see how he was doing and make sure he hasn’t gone nutso.
On her way home, Lety runs into the neighborhood bullies, who pick on her as usual [which surprised me because the last time she ran into them she handled them like a champ and I didn’t think she would have to worry about them anymore… oh well]. They make fun of her retainer and say she looks like a horse. Lety retorts that, for their information, she has two men in love with her. They ask “Who-- Frankenstein and the Wolfman?” Robopop comes out of the house just in time to hear them call her fea and solterona (old maid). He reprimands the idiotas and they giggle about it.
Lety asks Robopop where mom is [she’s probably at Conceptos looking for Lety, since the last time they talked, Lety whined that she needed mom to please come to Conceptos right away]. Robopop asks Lety about the debt. She tells him Aldo bought it off. Robopop wonders why Aldo would do that. Lety just looks at him uncomfortably.
In Acapulco, Aldo stands outside the restaurant he sold yesterday. He says “Ay, Lety, I left my dream for you. I hope someday you will find happiness.” Some guy who must be the new owner comes out and greets Aldo. He invites him to the restaurant’s grand opening. Aldo thinks it would be too painful to be a guest at his ex-restaurant. The guy clarifies that he doesn’t want him as a guest, he actually wants Aldo to cook.
Robopop asks Lety where Aldo went. Lety whimpers that he didn’t say where he was going. Robopop asks how they will pay him back. She has no idea; they will have to wait to hear Aldo’s plan.
Fern goes to see Omar. Omar tells Fern to go away. Fern apologizes but Omar tells him he belongs in a psych ward. He tells him again and again to get out. Fern grabs on to Omar’s bar (he has a huge wooden, fully-stocked bar in the middle of his living room; probably where he practices his pick-up lines). Anyway, Fern refuses to leave and grabs on to the bar. Omar disparages him and Lety. Fern says he will not get mad today over the insults against Lety only because he knows he was wrong. Omar doesn’t accept Fern’s apology. He literally picks up Fern, who is still holding on to a bar stool, and throws him out the door.
Backstage at Anais’s event, she talks with her stylist about her wardrobe. He talks about the latest trends, which currently include 40s style dresses. He goes on and on about the 40s era styles [so much so that I actually thought it was going to be some sort of promotion or product tie-in]. He says he would love to find a new diva who he could dress in that super-hot retro-Mexico style. He wonders who could be his new diva.…Who?
Caro goes to visit Lety. Lety bellyaches about the two gorgeous men who are both vying for her affections… boo hoo…. Caro asks Lety who she really loves. Lety says she thought she only loved Fern, but losing Aldo made her feel horrible. Caro tells Lety to listen to her heart. Lety wishes she could go back being the old nobody that no one cared about… boo hoo…. Caro invites Lety to go with her to Anais’s show so that Lety can take her mind off her troubles. Lety protests but Caro says it’s an order from her ex-boss. Just then mom arrives.
Still in her dressing room, Anais practices her presentation in front of her staff. She says their going to talk about women who define glamour. Everyone chimes in with their ideas of style and glamour. It sounds like what Aldo would rant about if he were a fashionista. They think a glamorous woman should always look like she just stepped off the red carpet.
Caro comes backstage with Lety in tow. Lety furrows her brow and gives them her signature goofy “ho-o-o-ola.” They talk with Anais as the fashionista staff stares at Lety apprehensively. Caro suggests that maybe Anais’s staff could fix up Lety for the show. Anais thinks it’s a great idea. She introduces her stylist, her wardrobe coordinator, her hair stylist, etc... there are about 8 of them. The staff is not excited about Caro’s idea, and neither is Lety. They sit her down and then talk trash about her. They agree that it is an impossible mission
Fern sits in his apartment and looks at Lety’s picture on his laptop. He strokes her cheek.
We get the Lety-cam, so we see from her point of view as the fashionista staff poke and prod at her like a lab experiment. The main stylist with the 40s fetish, Manuel, gives them his discloser -- if she ends up uglier than before, he won’t be responsible.
Aldo is in the restaurant kitchen in his chef outfit. He speaks in prose about Lety and her flavor as he cooks. He invokes the love of Leticia to make his food yummy. What a wacko!
The fashionista staff continues to work on Lety. One comments that it must be feo to be so fea.
Fern is also behaving a little wacko-ish. He tells his picture of Lety that “to love you is to yell out how much I love you.” He jumps up and goes to a mirror and writes “LETY” on it with a marker. He draws a heart around her name.
The Lety-cam shakes as the fashionistas discuss how much they will need to pluck and shave -- “Everything!” one of them says.
Aldo kneads -- actually, he fondles -- a ball of dough as he thinks about Lety.
The fashionistas grab at Lety’s clothes. She giggles and says it tickles. The fashionisistas consider using anesthesia.
Fern prints a picture and tapes it to the mirror, saying this is where he will make Lety’s mural. He puts up a second copy of the picture next to the first.
Back to the Lety-cam. The accessories guy holds an emerald chandelier earring in front of Lety. He tells her she is not beautiful, but she should feel beautiful, because they did a great job. He tells the main fashionista, Manuel, that the earrings are very important, and that Manuel is responsible for returning them safely. Manuel puts the second earring on Lety and tells her to return the earring back to him immediately after the event [oh boy, sounds like a sure sign that something awful will happen to those earrings!].
Lety wants to see herself. The Lety-cam moves toward the mirror but Caro tells her there is no time, as the event about to start.
Speaking of mirrors, Fern has covered his mirror with many many copies of Lety’s pic. Then he takes out his camera and photographs the collage.
Anais is out with a big crowd of reporters on a red carpet. She says the show will be about what it’s like to be a mother, a wife, an employee… The reporters lose interest in her when they spot Lety. From the Lety-cam, we see them exclaim, “Wow, look at her, she’s gorgeous!” Lety asks “Are you talking about me?” She asks Caro why they are all looking at her. A reporter asks Lety if she is Czech, or maybe Russian. Lety begs Caro get her out of here.
In the restaurant, the new owner guy tells Aldo that his just-finished dish looks great. He asks for the recipe. Aldo says he doesn’t have a recipe, he just invented it. The owner guy asks if the new dish has a name yet. Aldo says it’s called Leticia.
Lety-cam. The reporters ask Lety who she is. She tells them she doesn’t intend to answer that. She tells Caro she needs to see herself. We move away from the Lety-cam and see the bottom of a green gown and strappy high heels. Then we see dark eyes dramatically made-up with eyeliner, sparkly eye shadow, and defined, auburn eyebrows.
Tomorrow - A diva is born!
Tomas is on the phone with Aldo. Aldo tells Tomas that he’s going back to Acapulco. Tomas invites Aldo to stay with him and his mom. Aldo tells him thanks but no thanks.

How funny about Omar practicing his pickup lines at his bar! Thank you for this recap. I can't wait for tomorrow's episode.
Thanks Alma! Honestly, I can't believe Alicia would even speak to Marcia. She (Marcia) seems like a worst enemy more than anything! And I wish Fern and Omar would make up so that us Carvajalics can rejoice again! Last part of my rant-I ALMOST felt sorry for Aldo, but then I thought more about what he did. He was really stupid to buy the enormous debt when he knew Lety loved someone else. That's his own fault.

I think he sold the business in panic because he could see lety's love for Fernando.
Anyway, where did this other part come in last night "the man and woman looking at gowns". I thought I accidently changed the channel. Is this a chop-up of Ocampy, like skipping ahead without letting anyone know what is going on??? And suddenly lety is at this show and being transformed????? It was bizzare.

Thanks for the great recap.
All I could focus on with this episode was how childish Lety acted. Maybe Rosey wanted to show Lety at her very ugliest both fashion-wise and personality-wise before the big makeover. Lety acted her very very worst in this. Gawd! I just wanted to smack her. How Caro can still be a good friend to that whining brat is beyond me.
When the stylists were going at Lety, Lety's screeching sounded like someone was trying to bathe a cat.
I've come to believe that Lety didn't want those damn braces off all these years. Can you imagine how she may have screeched at the orthodontist at the thought of losing part of her fea crutch? I think the Dr. was secretly laughing behind that mask. He finally had Lety right where he wanted her and yanked those braces off. To probably get a little revenge on her he put that headgear on her instead of the traditional post-braces retainer. And the fact that she kept those nasty braces---totally grossed me out.
The question I have is although Lety's exterior seems to be changed, can the fea really be gone from the inside??

Does anyone have this problem??
I have extreme difficulty understanding la fa mas bella, mostly I think because the background music is so loud. I have been frustrated because I didn't think my spanish was getting any better, after watching two shows each night for a year; however, after Destilano was over, something else came on and I was watching it. I understood about atleast 1/4th of what they were saying;however there was no music in the background. Maybe I need to watch something like that also in order to learn the language better????

I only flipped over during commercial time from Ugly Betty...Barb, the whole whine thing just grates and grates...everytime I flipped over I could just hear the endless whine..and that stupid headgear..seriously..
That is the problems with this show I don't like the absolute impossible supposed like maybe I would have thought it was funny comedy when I was 12, mixed with the angst and drama. Lety what can I say...STFU
Aldo was looking a bit weary & aging last nite

The guy who bought the restaurant is the evil henchman from Alborada who was always trying to kill handsome Luis. I don't remember his name but he looks different all cleaned up!
I too hope Omar and Fern will make up. I miss the silliness that use to go on between them.
Thanks for explaining about the braces. For some reason I thought they were being repaired.
I suppose she is wearing the headgear as a crutch because she is so use to having something on her teeth?
The eyes were pretty in the sneak peeks. I hope this isn't another green monster make over!!!
Thank goodness someone has finally done something.
I thought the whole fashion team scene seemed very silly.
Thanks so much!!!

Thanks for the very funny recap.
I loved when Fernando came to Omar's apartment to make up with him. I miss their funny interactions so I hope that Omar quickly forgives him.
Fernando acted weirdly, almost psychotic, when he was taping Lety's pictures on the mirror. People who often do that are stalkers or worse. Then to take a picture of the pictures - okaaay.
Did anyone think that Aldo was especially slow moving when he was cooking? Good thing he sold his restaurant because he would only be able to serve a few people a night if he were the chef.
I loved when Fernando came to Omar's apartment to make up with him. I miss their funny interactions so I hope that Omar quickly forgives him.
Fernando acted weirdly, almost psychotic, when he was taping Lety's pictures on the mirror. People who often do that are stalkers or worse. Then to take a picture of the pictures - okaaay.

Couple of thoughts in no particular order:
- Aldo fondling the dough. LOL. I thought it was pretty creepy, myself. And I'm not sure that was even proper kneading technique.
- Fern's shrine to Lety. If the cops were to look around in that room they'd think he was a stalker.
- Yes the sound mixing on this show is often really bad so you can't make out what people are saying.
- Normally you have your braces removed by appointment, and the dentist takes an impression of the inside of your mouth beforehand so that your retainer will be ready when the braces come off. (My upper retainer was molded to fit against the roof of my mouth.) Since Lety's appearance was unscheduled, Romero didn't have time to make a proper retainer, thus the attractive headgear.

I'm observing here a role reversal between Lety & Fernando starting with Lety becoming the president,Fernando moves down the chain of command,goes out to buy a diary to express his thoughts..Lety wrote in her diary every evening..Lety's office was off from Fernando's office in the beginning..This is the place where she fell in love with Fernando,monitored his phone calls & visitors,kept his picture on her computer..Now Fernando is with the pictures on the mirror,writing the love messages in his diary..Next? He's off to the closet to keep an eye on Lety, to be her guardian,secretary & protector. Am I the only one that sees this? Mo
Oh and as for Aldo, I do feel sorry for his pain, but I don't feel sorry for his vanity. "I'll sell everything I own and then Lety will be free!" That sounds good in theory, but what about "I'll sell everything I own and then Lety will feel guilty." Did that NEVER cross his mind? If it didn't, then he's a fool. If it did, then he's an insensitive idiot.
Lety told him, explicitly, that she wanted to get Conceptos out of its debt. She didn't say she wanted HIM to do it. She didn't say she wanted a deus ex machina, which would basically be a cheat. She'll always wonder "what if." Could she have done it? Probably not, but now she'll never know.

In my opinion Fern acted so adorable last night I mean its first time hes in love and usullay the 1st time you are in love is in high school and we would put each other pictures on our binders ect.On the other hand Aldo was was wacko I mean come on calling food Leticia and invoking her name to make his food taste good everything he says has to be so philosophical its annoying and scary at times.Was it just me or was Carvajal's voice hoarse last night?

Alma, thanks for the terrific recap! Wow. Lots happening!
Anon 7:44, I think that Anais and the guy looking at gowns was to prepare us for something they will put onto Lety at a later time. It was gratuitous, but I could see this guy thinking, what goddess can wear this red gown? He's going to see it'll be Lety after the initial makeover, in my opinion.
Anon 7:49, the noise is distracting for sure. If you live in the US, your television built after 1993 has closed captions. Turn them on; they'll be in Spanish and you will be able to read which clarifies the sound. They talk fast, too. I find Zorro much easier to understand, both because it has English captions and because the speakers are clearer.
Beckster, Aldo did indeed look older and very defeated. Sad!
Carrie--that guy who bought the restaurant is also the new Hugo from Duelo, I think. He gets around!
Julie, I always love your comments (and recaps). Yep, that's stalker behavior. First Aldo behaved like one, and now Fern. Yikes!
Jeanne

Angel, I too thought Omar's voice sounded pretty hoarse last night as well. Maybe that is why they gave him a day or two off.
Okay, and to prove I have too much time on my hands... After helping with the evening science homework on dominant and recessive traits for my 8th grader, I started thinking... Both Don Humb & Doña Bozo are really pretty European looking, how did Fern happen? I have only watched since January so this may have been covered somewhere else. He is their biological child, right? Or maybe only Doña Bozo's?

Someone mentioned Carvahal's voice - and yes! I kept saying for god's sake take a lozenge! I'm so glad the headgear thing was easily removable, I was going to be way pissed at that dentist for making her even more ugly, and for cryin' out loud, why does she STILL need braces?! Trying to squeeze a little extra cash out of her fea insecurity? But I can see now that it was much of her hanging on to it. I can't wait to see her tonight. My husband has been watching the show out of the corner of his eyes the whole time.I mentioned going out to dinner tonight and just taping the show, he said "I've suffered this thing for almost a year, we're not taking any chances to miss the big reveal now!!" Yowza!

Can't wait for the kiss (well, abrazos) and make-up scene with Fer and Omar. They are too good together to be on the outs.
I do feel sorry for Aldo & he looked so sad. But, the dough kneading scene was icky.
Why would Lety want a makeover? She has 2 galans in love with her, braces, glasses, trenza,and all.How many of us have (had)that, even with our great hair, make-up and clothes? ;)
She could not handle one more bit of male attention. She has to get comfortable in her own skin, so to speak.
Lety's crazy extreme reaction to her make-over was the perfect counterbalance to the stylists' over the top reaction to her. I thought it was all a very funny scene.
Por fin, I liked the swing from "drama" (Aldo's scenes,some of Fer's) to "comedy" (most of the rest of the show), without too much cuartel relleno.
Looking forward to the "new" Lety. Hoping Aldo stays away in the kitchen in Aca. 4ever!

Fer is their son...bio for both..
when Lety was in Aca...Jaime Camil's real father did a walk on as Fer's uncle..Lety was like "Fer looks some much more like you"
wink-wink...
anya..agree the doble dude pressure must be extreme...in real life, a woman like Lety (looks, actions, fashion, extreme childishness, lack of money) getting two rich good looking guys that don't need a transplant or a beard...well I rank that right up there with being abducted by aliens in a spaceship..While it might be possible it is statistically next to impossible.

and mab/ I get it now! Thanks!
You all mentioned Caravajal's voice but I didn't notice that anyone mentioned Lety's on Tues. Hers was just as bad, and it was driving me crazy, so I'm wondering if something went around at that time, because I thought to myself, Jaime is going to get sick too if he has to kiss her so much, but I noticed they didn't have much kissing. Lots of forehead writing, but not so much whopper suck fests like other days.
Anyway, something I pondered. Also, in case anyone else didn't realize it, Luigi's "vacation" completely non-sensical to the plot that it was, I'm sure was written in to allow him to be with his new baby daughter for a while.

Omar did refer to his throat and he seemed to have laryngitis but it made his voice really sexy. And please wardrobe people avoid the baggy sweats and keep him in suits and jeans. He might be a good catch after all since his apartment was a mess when Fern called and neat as a pin when he showed up at the door. After Caro mentioned the Anais event he looked for it in the paper so my guess is that he will be the first person to see the "new" Lety. God help me please don't let him fall for her too. LOL. It is coming clear that Omar and Caro may become an Item which I think would be great.
Lety, the braces, the whining I am so SICK of her I want to fast forward her off the scene. There is virtually nothing likable or worth caring qbout as she is being portrayed.
Aldo and the cooking - ugh practically sobbing in the dough. Also real chefs toque's don't flop over like a cheap beret they are highly starched and stand straight up. Too bad he cut Tomas off before Tommy boy could tell him the whole story about what is going on.
Fern and the pictures - so adorable but all I could think was oops Tomas has an older, smarter, better looking and sexier big bro. The scene was adorable and something he will keep private just to tide him over until the stupid twit makes up her mind.

I noticed a mistake on the caption last night, that I wondered if anyone else caught. Lety said"Tomas ven" but the caption read mama ven. Which would explain why Tomas came right away, and she saw her mom much later at la casa carrying in grocerys.

I was surprised at Omar's reaction to Fern's apology. I've never seen men hold a grudge about a little punch up like theirs especially since they have been life long friends. I was highly amused with Fern talking to himself in the office and then waiting for Omar to comment before realizing oops he wasn't there.
Good grief more shrieking from Lety. You'd think she would be grateful but no - more juvenile moaning. Frankly I don't care what she looks like after the make over because she is still ugly where it counts. I saw a picture and it made her look like a transvestite so the big reveal is just a bunch of whooey as far as I'm concerned. In any event if she turns out to be a raving beauty I wonder how she will use it.

Jaime Camil can do a scene with a box top and make it look real and sexy. He was so sweet with stroking her cheek on the computer, but I thought he felt stupid having to hang those darned pictures on the mirror. They couldn't even get him tape that had the ridges to tear it off, and him being such a perfectionist I could tell the ripping the tape off with his teeth was embarrassing.

There is a sound problem with a lot of novelas. Sometimes you can barely hear what a character is saying. They must not be wiring them correctly. I usually have my TV up to max on sound and then have to remember to turn it down when I switch channels or I'd break all the glass in the house. The overly intrusive music on occasion doesn't help and Angelica talking over those braces was often hard to hear clearly. I've gotten so sick of Lety that I "watched" the show last night while doing a crossword puzzle, only looking up when Omar or Fern spoke.
Can that snotty cuarel get any nastier. Telling Fern that she went off with Aldo which since the dentist is named Aldo is technically not a lie but they deliberately let him think the worst to "punish" him. Someone should tell them they are secretaries not God and get back to work.
Lety and a make over. At this point does anyone care? Now will just have more whining from a "pretty" face.

OK we've complained about the sound, wrong or premature captions, the pencils whose points go up and down, Lety's terrible clothes, Bozo's wig, Oxi's assets, Tomas' hair but has any one noticed those great big clunky feet in the sand during the credits. They make Angelica look like Big Foot. Every time I've run on wet sand my toes have shown as well as the space for my arch. But those things make her look toeless and with flat feet. Granted she doesn't seem to have a highly arched foot but as a dancer it is likely her feet would be narrower.
Fern and the tape absolutely hilarious but sad in a way. He has come such a long way that he is still sticking to his guns and allowing Lety space to make up her mind. I wonder if Aldo will do the same. My gut says no.

Has anyone noticed how much weight Jaime Camil has lost? He was very chunky with a full face in the Germany scenes, but now he is so tiny. He does scenes with his jacket off with pride, and he's been leaping couches,and tables like an olympian.

Sorry if i bugged you but a) I did not post any spoiler, b) I said I saw a picture. I did not say it was the picture of what she will look like tonight because I haven't seen it c) the picture I saw was widely shown on many websites and in newspapers and was posted as an unflattering shot of Angelica Vale with commentary about looking like a transvestite d) I avoid all places where i can see or learn anything about LFMB although with the tack it is taking recently I wonder why I even bother but I've invested too much time to quit now.
I have had good reason for not signing my posts as I am sure many other have. But sorry all I dislike being called on something I did not do and lest I continue to offend certain people I will now sign my posts.

The timing of the makeover seems a little strange. And so much for not being a glamorous change. I thought Lety should have plugged Conceptos when the photographers rushed her... I have a feeling that Omar is going to show up at the event and hit on her before he knows it's her! That would be so funny!
I think it's the first time we've seen Aldo work in the kitchen. Wow the timeline goes from snail pace to warp speed. He sold the restaurant yesterday and the new owners are ready for the grand opening the very next day. Lucky for him Aldo was comiserating outside and ready to work!

he has AGREED to do her t-n about
a P-i-r-a-t-e
(of all things)
[lotta spec but finally the negots are over]
{nxt wk Adela Noriega will decide whether she's onboard, pun-pun, or not}
All I have to say is that Carla certainly is going to great lengths to get her daily hugs, again, from F.C. [whatcha gonna do when you got a ladyboss]
Not only does colunga not get to ride a motorcycle but no horse on the high seas either.

Thanks Alma! Haven't been on lately and had to catch up several episodes on here. So Thanks to ALL the Recappers!!
Did anyone catch that Tómas stated that his hair was not dyed -but "Natural" when he was talking to Fernando last night??? He must be catching something from his "Chica"! lol.
Also, I kept thinking about the movie "Like Water For Chocolate" when Aldo was cooking and thinking about his love for Leticia. The rationale in the movie was that if you cook with love, the food always tastes superb. Maybe that was where they were going with all of cooking scenes...?
What did Fernando do with Omar's stool when Omar booted him out? Will he hold it for ransom til Omar gets over it, do you suppose?? Maybe he can take it back to their office and they fight over IT, for a change!
Marcia seemed like she has just about had it with Alicia, and she never has hidden her dislike of Tómas-although as far as I can see, he has never done anything but be very polite to her.... She really needs to get on with her life and back off Fernando! She is becoming very bitter and taking on the color of her office 24/7. They need to introduce a guy on the show for her ASAP! Where is the PG when SHE needs him?
Did anyone catch that Tómas stated that his hair was not dyed -but "Natural" when he was talking to Fernando last night??? He must be catching something from his "Chica"! lol.

Thanks for the recap, Alma. A great job as always.
Beckster, I am with you on those “better chance of getting abducted by aliens” odds.
Hey, I would be happy to see the likes of a Don Fern go for an average looking girl.
I am with the folks who don’t really care about this makeover tonite. Yes, I will check it out, but I think I’ll be taping over this episode for sure. I won’t go as far as to say Lety is ugly on the inside. But she is annoying, confused and terribly regressed thanks to these wonderful minds behind LFMB. Thanks so much for taking advantage of the audience. Just because TPTB know that many of us will stick it out to the bitter end because we love Don Ferni, does not make what they are doing to the show right. All the great recappers and commentors here could write a better ending.

Louise...
Personally I can't imagine how Marcia would not be bitter, okay she lost the guy to Lety, Tomas is now working there and I have not seen him do one thing, and he is drawing a big check...Marcia was in Europe doing her part..the part that was given to her, by the financial wizard AssHats that are now in charge..plus chef boy who acts like that huge overrun was hey just a fluke...Oh yeah, but he did get huge attention for his book..Hey AssHat DeNile is not just a river in Egypt..Now he owns the company debt...I am sure Marcia would like nothing better than to see the back of all these people. Oh yes and I would never forgive them for the bileous green office
I mean I know everybody thinks she is a snotty bitch..but hey have you ever worked for a family run business? Well guess what they always think they better than everyone else...Personally if I was Marcia, I would have canned all their asses years ago, well maybe not Simeon and not Irma, but that worthlss cuartel.

early closing day here -- 5 -- so gotta leave shortly
got a lotta boxes to pack
moving away frm dc (familytree researcher paradise)
too spensive here plus there's a condo conversion -- sigh -- wish they had waited until after lfmb's over in usa --
am going to where there's no free univision so I'll depend totally on caraycaray (and old esmas-summary translations elsewhere from mex dates*) -- I'm just too cheap to pay a monthly bill for tv -- also too cheap to pay monthly bill for i-t and will go to libr there to use internet as usual
am going to where it is said:
"it's not so much the length of Winter that gets to you. it's the absence of Spring"
"4 seasons: Winter, Mud, Summer and Fall"
"black flies come swarming at you, which makes it impossible to enjoy the outdoors after that long winter"
"I moved to Maine 12 years ago and have been trying to leave the last 5."
"and find Mainers cold, stand-offish, and incredibly passive- agressive."
well, I'm from there in the first place so I'm just going home after many decades away -- it's all right -- only 20% of genealogy is online anyway -- the rest I have to do in person or else get boy scout troops do it for free to get their badges
/mab
*I guess it must be true that univision has to edit the t-n's so they can fit in their commercials bcs esmas summaries sometimes have stuff I never see except in a flashback that I never saw on the screen in the first place which causes me to suppose that the edits no doubt are still in place when I finally can order novelasrus disks -- too bad televisa doesn't see the goldmine it has, or somebody has, on the cutting floor

BECKSTER,
Right on about Marcia. The one redeeming trait she has is her love for the business and concern that it not be lost to the family. Tomas did figure out the debt problem between bouts of picture flipping and chica drooling. Marcia and Fern did their part by signing up advertisers or whatever in Europe and the US, Omar helped with the commercials but let the egomaniac Luigi run amok with the budget but on the other hand was anyone ever told what the budget was - I don't think so. Aldo generally got in everyone's way and distracted Lety from doing the job she is SUPPOSED to be so good at. Lety sat with her head up her rear making google eyes over Aldo and being thrown on her back across the desk moaned about Fern and writing in a diary. Erasmo dropped his oversight ball and the cuartel maybe passed on a few phone calls and made a copy or two between excessive potty breaks and gossip. The fact that the business has any credibilty at all is a miracle that can only occur in Novelaland.

When Fernando called Omar didn't Omar retort that he wasn't interested in what he was selling then hang up on Fernando.LOL
The nueva look better be worth the time we have invested watching the novela.
Thomas gets on ma nerves with his chiquita SH*T he so inteligent but never inteligent enough to realise that Alicia is using him (SOMEONE LOCK THE BOW LEGGED GOBLIN AN THROW AWAY THE KEY)on the other hand they might make a good couple

Thanks for the recap. Sounds like it was a fun episode. I had set it to be recorded by tivo and then my husband accidentally shut off the satelite so I missed it anyway. I wonder if this is grounds for divorce.
Don't know why I would expect Aldo to look like he was really working in the kitchen instead of just dabbling a little. Or have I watched too many episodes of Iron Chef? He didn't even break a sweat.
Liked the Fern/Omar pouting and arguing. Even if Lety looks fabulous, can she show the attitude a diva look would require?

That's so true. Lety may have a new look, but she hasn't even seen it yet and she tends to walk with her shoulders forward and head down. To pull off the look, she needs a lot of confidence and better posture. Hopefully her "walk" from the Nuestra Bella competition will come back magically.

yeh, sorry, I have to agree with Rosanna. Honestly, I didn't get any terrible spolier vibe from her comment until you mentioned it, even still, nowhere near specific enough for anything, really. They showed some very sparkly green eyes and the bottom of a foam color looking satiny dress last night at the very end, so I think that's not an improbable conclusion, given what we've been shown. Those eyes alone, zonkers!!! Anyway, I guess it's tough because some people get exposure to this stuff all over the place and others can only get it from what Univision shows. I would think Miami is one of those places where this stuff is old hat on every newsstand. We can all try to keep that in mind I suppose.

Ok, why is Fernando carping about "Aldo's evil plan", is it just jealousy talking? Didn't Aldo tell the judge to include a statement in the paperwork that he didn't want Conceptos? Maybe if people would actually READ the paperwork instead of being lazy and "waiting for Aldo", they might find out what's going on. But I guess then this wouldn't drag out for another couple of months, so oh well...
I was so sick of Lety's whining and baby talk last night, I actually had to switch over to Ugly Betty while she was on, even though I hate recap episodes (not to be confused with RECAPPERS, who I love ;o}). She was just so incredibly unlikable last night, I was wishing both guys would just dump her and move on.
I would LOVE it if Omar hit on her, yeah, that's how it should end:
Fernando and Aldo both get sick of her whiny baby talk crap and dump her. Fernando winds up with Carolina (she's so nice), and Aldo winds up with some gorgeous Acapulco beach babe, and Lety can wind up with Omar the jerk, who eventually dumps her for Carloca. Marcia decides she'll never love again and becomes a nun, and Ariel gets capped by Alicia, who finally gets tired of HIS crap. Dona Bozo and Don Humberto join the circus, realizing Bozo should have been there all along, and the cuartel all disappear into the whirlpool to be eaten by wild coyotes. Oh wait, wrong novella. What the heck, it still works!

Sorry Rosanna, I really overreacted. But yes, knowing you're in Miami does make a big difference. I have to go out of my way to find out anything about anything on Univision, etc. - we don't even have Telemundo here or anything like that (but we have 3 different Portuguese stations).
I lived in Orlando for quite a few years and got used to having Spanish stuff around whenever I wanted. Obviously, I've already forgotten what that was like. I'm sure in Miami you couldn't avoid it if you wanted to.
I actually had to make an effort to find that godawful photo of "Aurora," while you're probably already sick of seeing it! So it seemed to me like you were spilling a big secret, while it was old news to you.
So... I'll promise to remember that not everybody lives in the armpit of Massachusetts, if you promise to remember that not everyone lives in the sunniest part of the sunshine state!

I accidentaly found something that really helps me "hear" the Spanish dialogue. I bought wireless earphones so that I could listen while my husband reads and was amazed how much easier it is to understand the dialogue wearing them. I wear them whenever I am listening to Spanish TV now.
