La Fea Más Bella #295A 6/13/07 FER proposes to LETY!!! A million dollars, and Lui and Orni bond, and yes, believe it or not Ariel actually pays a compliment
There are congratulations all around. Jacques calls over Lety and tells her he is really sorry about what happened with the periodical but he has a surprise and requests a meeting with Lety and Fer and Tomas and asks them to go to the president’s office. Alicia follows them. Tomas wonders what Ali wants and she tells him to assist himas in her job. He thinks that’s great but only lets her stand by the door. Jacques tells him it looks like a success, and he starts chuckling about what happened the other night with Aurolety. Fer chastises him and he says he’s already asked forgiveness. Fer backs off.
Jacques continues to tell them that the show has been purchased already in various countries and so he tells them they are going to make many bucks and he hands over their first payment, a check for a million dollars! Tomy says now for sure you saved the business Don Fer. Fer thanks Tom. Alicia overhears this and thinks about the shoes and cars and dresses she can get without having to rely on her husband.
Irma goes in to get Luigi and tells him he has to come because she has a special guest here to see him. He wants to celebrate his success and says he has no time for visitors so tell them to come back. He looks up and recognizes the man. He wonders what that man is doing here, “I don’t want to see him. Make him leave.” Irma tries to convince him he should see him but to no avail and he walks out. She goes over and tries to tell his Dad that he is unavailable, but Dad knows that Luigi doesn’t want to see him. He tells Irma he only came to give Luigi the message that his mother is very ill in hospital and dying, and wants to see him for the last time.
Back in the studio, the whole Mendioroel Clan is there, including Ariel. Papa says that Fer is their pride and joyand Helmut Bozo alias blow up porn doll agrees. The cuartel applauds him. Mar tambien. Ariel actually congratulates Fer and tells him that he did very badly, but not that bad, that he isn’t a thief, and that he saved Conceptos and brought it back to the family.
Now that’s something, Ariel even turning a new leaf. Sorry, he is just not believable. I think I still want to despise him with a fervor. Fer says it wasn’t just him, everyone is a part of it and a part of Conceptos and he has to go for a moment. Ana Leticia asks what could be more important than taking the photos.
We next see Fer on the phone. My signal broke up here but I think he caught Carmina in a lie, that she really wasn’t in Acapulco with Aldo. Please feel free to fill in. I did catch that he said he wouldn’t tell Lety anything, but not because of her, because of Lety.
Gordo Lobo surprises his ex Gordita with their own home!!
Lety calls Fer in. She tells him she’s very proud of him. He doesn’t want to annoy her but he admits that he’s as proud of himself. He says he’s gotten back his self esteem and his family has regained their confidence in him. He said today could have been the best day of his life. She asks why this isn’t the happiest day of his life. He said it would be if he had one thing. He says he wants her to marry him. He kisses her hands and she gets a dreamy look, heretofore reserved for gazing at Aldo. Is it a dream?
At first I wasn’t sure…but no he continues explaining how all this is great and he has the business back and his family respects him again and everything would be just right if he could get her back too. He begs her to marry him. She cries and asks why he’s doing this to her. She tells him she can’t marry him. He apologizes that he’s been thinking of himself again and he’s sorry and he’ll go to his office.
Luigi wants to know why that man came. He’s bawling. He doesn’t want to see his Papa ever. Irma comes in and says it’s very important. He doesn’t want to see anyone and begs her to leave, but she insists she has something important to say about his Mom, and he says why my dad is the one who came. She tells him his Mom is in the hospital and she is going to die and she wants to see him. He is distraught.
Lety runs into the bathroom where half the cuartel comes in and they want her to take her glasses off and to know more about how she got to be Aurora. Finally she takes them off and they see the resemblance. She wants to leave but Sara stops her, calling her Auroralety and wanting to know about Aldo. The cuartel bicker again about Aldo and Fer now being here to take care of her. Juana, once again my astute buddy, asks, “Are you crying about Fer now?” She says it’s just that he asked me to marry him. They ask what she said and she says she can’t because she loves Aldo Domensain and she walks off. The cuartel argue about going after her, but decide that she wants to be alone.
Dona Julieta comes in to see Don Fer she asks if he’s seen Lety because she wants to say goodbye before they go. He says in his best sad voice that he doesn’t know where she is. Juli realizes something is wrong and she asks him what the problem is. He tells her he just asked her daughter to marry him. Juli lights up all happy and wonders then what Lety said, yes of course, right? Fer answers she said no. Frowns abound.
We then see Erasmo sneaking in to eavesdrop in the office. He overhears that Fer is telling Juli she knows how much he loves Lety. He says he’s mad at himself because he knows she loves Aldo but he still can’t forget her. Juli tells Fer that since Aldo took off to Aca. then he has every right to try and get her back. He says no, he wants her to be happy and she is only going to be happy with Aldo, so he’s going to have to help her to marry Aldo. Erasmo nods behind the door as Juli consoles.
Luigi is sittin’ out on the curb when Orni walks up. Lui tells her that in these times he’s not such good company. She’s not worried because neither is she. He wonders what’s wrong, and she says she’s making two marvelous men suffer and she can’t forgive herself for it. Lui tells her that’s not a problem and that she’s lucky. He’s suffering because of a man too.
She says she never thought she’d see him suffer. He tells her well she’s seeing it, because everyone carries their baggage that they don’t confront and they evade with foolish acts. She thinks he should confront whatever it is. He says that his situation isn’t grave, it’s the gravest, because he might live with this pain for the rest of his life. She says it’s still better to confront them, and wants to know what is wrong. He says he’s upset and startled and she makes a boo sound to scare him more, but he’s not joking. He has to go see his, well, he stops, and says some people who need him and he has to go see them, but he is afraid. She tells him fear is the path to darkness and that it really only exists in our minds anyway. She says if he wants, she’ll go with him.
Alicia looks through Tomy’s briefcase and notes all of the photos of her and for that Tomy has good taste. She finds the check and studies it. Tomy comes in and asks what she’s doing. She mentions she’s looking at so many zeros wishing it were hers. He says look quickly because soon he’ll have to deposit it. She says she’ll take care of that as his assistant. He says he has to do that himself as part of his duties. She imagines all the things they could get if it were theirs and asks him to contemplate it. He says well dreaming doesn’t cost anything.

Ariel can afford to be nice right now because Fernando is making him a lot of money. It's not that his character has changed. I think Alicia and Ariel deserve each other.
I want more of the Caromar story. The writers have left us hanging there. We deserve to see some of their romantic happy times together.
Won't it be interesting to meet Luigi's parents. Can you just imagine little Luigito as he was growing up?
I sure hope the new JUAN show gets better. Its very disappointing to think this is all I'll have after La Fea. Any other shows someone would recommend? It would have been nice to get in on the beginning, but JUAN is not something I would continue watching unless it changes very quickly.
Too bad Lety can't make up her mind. She always wants the one she thinks she can't have.
If she gets Aldo back will she then want Fern???
When the group was congratulating each other I remembered what a commenter said in the past about Darth Bozo, "put those old babies away" (or something like that).
That was just what I thought last night with her super exposure. Whew!
I guess the only mystery now is who Marcia's secret admirer is?
We certainly are approaching the end at warp speed. I'm just not ready to say goodbye.
Carrie L.
Maybe with a one way ticket Lety and Fern would finally get together.
Nah, I suppose Lety would spend the rest of her life looking for him and then when she found him she would decide she didn't want him after all.
Carrie L.
I was going to nominate Alicia, but Since Tomas loves her so much he would be heart broken.
Poor Fernando. He has to have a mother who flaunts her big boobs.
Mama Bozo, you are too old for that.
I love the scenes with the two of them together.
Perhaps when Lety goes off to beg Aldo for forgiveness Fern could move into her old room??????
Carrie L.
Okay, I guess the point to the "Fernando Train of Pain & Shame", is that for some reason he is the only one culpable for the prior bad times for Lety, right? I mean Omar had a couple of bad weeks and got the love of his life, Alicia got married and stopped living in the park...Luigi is still Luigi...
Also all you Carmina haters..did not Aldo do exactly the same thing when he came to DF? He was uninvited and butted in. He passed judgement on Fernando with out knowing all the facts...he became the ultimate be all end all defender of Lety...He is the one who has kept them apart.
Although I am totally in favor of Lety hooking up with Aldo forever...not because I believe him the better choice, but because I believe Fernando deserves better.
I am sure if there is a way to get even five pesos more outta the idea..TeleVision and Rosy OCampo will find a way...so maybe you will get a sequel
Seems like a lot has to happen between now and then, but aspects of it should be fun to watch.
As an irregular watcher, using the Spanish Channels to learn Spanish like most of you, I'll miss Lety's fresh face and her silly mugging, as a lot of these babes on the soaps are overly made up and kind of plastic. Plus, I think the romantic things between Lety and Fern were very touching. Jaime Camile has a real flair for comedy and I think he looks a lot better on screen than he does in photos. He moves really well. I'd like to see him in films before his looks go.
I enjoy reading the recaps!
Sorry I missed seeing Fernando receive well deserved acclaim for saving the company, but not sorry I didn't see silly Lety reject him yet again. How does he bear it?? I'm about to jump off the Fer and Lety train.
I'm with you, Carrie - Julieta should adopt Fer. Heck, my mother should adopt him and I'd move back home in a flash. :)
We've only a few days left of this show and our Lety can't make up her mind who she loves.?Hopefully, in the next day or so we seen the last of the football shoulders type jackets..
The bus trip..?I pray it's Aldo and Carmina riding off into the novela sunset..
It's going to take Aldo dropping Lety to open her eyes, to allow her the freedom to love who she really loves..
Poor Don Ferni! Aayyyy, I can’t stand to see him shed one more tear!
(I think Ocampy is a sadist.) Ferni needs an intervention—a serious talking to so that he can let go. Lety is not worth it! At this point I honestly don’t care what she does or decides. I am no Aldo fan, but if Lety is the prize, be glad you dodged the bullet, man!
Gives us some Caromar, we need to see a happy, good-looking couple!

Poor Fern when he made that proposal I screamed NO because the timing was all wrong. Loved Erasmo listening in. I've always wondered how he would react if Lety went off with Fern since he has never liked him since the betrayal and is so pro Aldo but I though last night Fern might be winning him over. I just watched the tape again and I'm not so sure that he wasn't just pleased that Fern plans to get Lety and the Dolt back together again.
I'm lucky I'm not in the hospital having my jaw wired back in place after Ariel comments.
I wish I knew how much time we had left. I'm getting frustrated and hate the half hour show and have successfully transitioned that hatred over to Juan Q which means Univision goes off the instant it comes on. Funny thing yesterday I got a call, in Spanish no less, from the Neilson company doing a survey. I was stumbling along answering questions but they ended the call the moment I told them I was not Hispanic or Latina. Too bad I couldn't figure out how to tell them I think Univision sucks at this point. LOL
Alicia is next in line because she never learns. At the sight of a check her eyes glaze over and turn to dollar bills. She is totally self obsessed and is, like Paris Hilton, just sucking up air and doing nothing to justify her existence. And, I'd let her take her moronic slave Tomy along with her.
Juana and/or Sara since they have no story anyway and are annoying in the extreme.
Terri
You cited the very reason that Jamie and Angelica should never do a sequel. They have real talent and smarts and good actors try very hard to avoid the typecasting curse. A lot of talented novela actors never get out of the eternal galan role or antagonist, protagonist slots for the ladies. These two deserve better no matter how much we would love to see this divine paring again. Now if they played other characters I'd be first in line to see it.
As for sequel, yes the one in Colombia was a dud but they tried the same thing in the German version and it flopped as well. Sometimes it is better to leave things alone and not spoil the memories with a bad sequel or, as in this case unfortunate extensions.
Rick and Ilsa always had Paris and we will always have Fern and Lety and the trip to Cuenavaca - tan divino!
Diane
She redeemed herself slightly by trying to help Luigi, but she was being such a hypocrite at the same time. Face your fears, Luigi. Fear leads you to the dark side, Luigi...Am I watching LFMB or Star Wars? Now I get it. Aldo is the Sith lord and is trying to get Lety to join him on the dark side.
That explains the brainwashing and the indecisiveness and the suspended reality and the total BS that is keeping her from the true love of her life.
Now when are we going to see her “fight for what she wants.” We need some intervention from Master Yoda, I mean the PG! And fast.
I love your recaps.
What can I say? I’m addicted to this blog.
And for me it’s a spoiler full zone since I live in Greece. (LOL)
A few days ago L discovered The Letter. Today, T just fell in love with this german beauty of a car and now he has 3 obsessions food, the Mercedes and Alicia (in that order).
I’m having this food obsession too, so I must feeling some empathy for Alicia but in my case I commiserate with Martha. I have lost a fortune gaining pounds, loosing pounds, gaining more pounds, losing some of them, etc , etc ! it never ends... ¡Pero es que yo nunca acabo! ¡Nunca, nunca acabo! (isn’t this Lola?)
At first I had this telenovela addiction. There was no internet around at this era (it definetaly was another era). I had a lot of work to do, for many years and I thought I was over it.
But guess what? The problem is getting worse...
First “Mi Gorda Bella”, then with “Gata Salvage” (two latin telenovelas of greek tv last year).
I had to get a life! I still have...
So I’m looking for spoilers.
Then la Fea mas Bella comes. It’s a dramedy! The best mexican telenovela for me.
Then the greek Fea arrives. Her name is Maria. And our greek ‘galano’ arrives (Alexis). The actor turns to be a real sweethart! The girls at the age of 13+ in our high school adore him... He (the actor) is 22 years old.
Anyway, I’m 40+ and I find him adorable too.
Now I have two tv shows: lmfb and Maria the ugly one.
FORGET ABOUT THEM! Have a life of your own! My inner self cries.
I find you in telenovela-world and now I’m getting a new addiction (this blog).
Melinama, recappers and bloggers, I looooove these recaps and your comments.
THANKS
I'm going to miss you.

“Tomy says now for sure you saved the business Don Fer. Fer thanks Tom. Alicia over hears this and thinks about the shoes and cars and dresses she can get without having to rely on her husband.” I’ve thought about this at great length, friends, and conclude that Alicia is terminally DUMB. Who but Alicia would think no one’s gonna notice her walking off with a million cool ones?
“Ariel actually congratulates Fer and tells him that he did very badly, but not that bad, that he isn’t a thief, and that he saved Conceptos and brought it back to the family. Now that’s something, Ariel even turning a new leaf. Sorry he is just not believable.” It surely isn’t! He had a new hairstyle, too, and it wasn’t believable either. At least true to Ariel’s style, he prefaced this backhanded compliment with “you did something terrible, but….”
“I think he caught Carmina in a lie” I think that’s what happened, too.
If these are the Últimos Días, Lety’s got some quick deciding to do. Alicia’s gotta get nailed fast. Luigi’s gotta make up with his family soon. There’s not a moment to spare!

"¡Univision me da asco!" That's
close enough.
;-)
Jeanne
Should have thought of it but so surprised to find myself being called it went right out of my head plus which she was talking very fast and my mind was a little slow on the uptake.
Decie Girl, I know what you mean about the fast telephone dialogue. There are no captions to support what you hear, and telephones cut out a lot of the frequencies we are used to (which is why we sound funny to ourselves on recordings, too) and makes an unclear transmission in a language we don't handle well even more unclear. I love "me da asco" because it's SUCH a useful phrase to just drop into everyday conversation. ;-)
Yesterday the principal at my school told me one of the custodians, a native Spanish speaker, told her he's surprised that my Spanish is improving so fast. It's those telenovelas, folks, nada más.
Jeanne
I don't have Closed Captions and learned my Spanish by watching novelas, writing down words looking them up, getting a computer language disc that lets me look up individual words. I'll always remember how surprised I was the first time I knew exactly what was being said without having to mentally translate. My husband who was good with languages says that what happens when you stop worrying. Of course my Spanish is now good enough to "get" novelas but not good enough to tell my gardeners to cut back the dead bushes and fix the landscape lighting. LOL.
Having to look things up is also a good way to lern to read the language well enough to get the gist of what the article is about.
A few episodes ago Aldo was bitching about not having enough money to pay for his restaurant being about a million short. Suddenly he pays it off and gets it back. This was long after Fern gave him the first 3 Million. Now Fern gets the check from Jacksie and seems to be saying now they will have paid off all the debt. Where did Aldo get the last bit of money or do we even care?
Are you sure about those captions? Unless you bought your tele outside the US, or before July 1, 1993, they are in the television by law. You have to go in the menu, hunt for the category, and turn them on, though. But it's federal law that there is a decoder chip in the televisions sold in the US after 7/1/1993.

It’s fun to hear what’s going on in Greece with the novelas! (And how apropos it is to named Helen and live in Greece!) Are you an ex-pat or a Greek?
How about some input on this idea: The cuartel functions in the story like a Greek chorus in the ancient plays. They react, they comment. What do you think?
can u imagine what carolina's and omar's kids would look like..gorgeous!
i loved the fact that erasmo eavesdropped too, i think it will take the whole conceptos and padilla family for lety to finally realize that fernando's her only man.
WE NEED SOME ANA MARIA OROZCO CAMEOS in the final ep., not in pics, but the real thing, that would rock..
Wait, so when the episode aired, on the cast list, did it say Aurora Mayer de Salinas, or Lety Paddilla Soliz???
oidur89427tjckdsf
cant wait till tonight, when Luigi realizes Lety's true beauty..
totally bad timing from Fernando, I think they should make a road trip together to get Aldo, maybe it WILL give him an opportunity to get her back.
I STILL HATE CARMINA, I WANT HER TO DIE!!!!!!!

Jeanne
OMG NOOOOOOOOOOOOO. I knew this would happen. I'm leaving for Paris on the 26th. I just knew I'd miss the end and now I have to worry of my cable company won't screw up the taping. I'm just sick about this and not being able to share my thoughts with all of you. I could just kill someone at Univision for screwing around with all of us this week just to introduce the boring Juan Q. AHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
Teresa
P.S. Here is the link from last w/e’s comments in case you want to check it out yourselves. Summaries - in Spanish - are here:

As far as spoilers, it explains Luigi’s crisis and says something about Marcia’s secret admirer. I can’t read Spanish, so I got my info from the text translator.
Still I would watch Jaime Camil read the proverbial phone book. Ojala that there will be a sequel. Like Katharine Hepburn and Cary Grant, JC and AV could be a great romantic comedy team.
Yes, these half hours (plus commercials) are killers. I hate them.
I don't care for the new Juan either.
I am really hoping something of interest will come up but I don't think anything will match Fern and the gang for me.
Carrie L.
Whoever said that Alicia is terminally dumb is right. She is stuck on stupid. She keeps gloves on her hands all day and stays in Tomas's office. She never even sits at her own desk anymore.
I tried all this week to watch Juan Q but I just cannot get into it. I hope that something else comes along after LFMB is over so that I can continue to chat with everyone here.
Que the hell? : (
I’m Greek and so was Helen of Troy. (WHAT AN EGO!)
Helen is the English version of Eleni . Eleni is my name in Greek.
And guess what?
Platypus is a Greek word. Ornithorynchus (a kind big platypus) is a Greek word too.
Since you asked about our fea here is some information.
During the first episodes I didn’t like Maria. Many dialogues were identical with those of lmfb.
But I’m working in a high school and the girls were totally gaga over Anthimos Ananiadis our galano. I started to pay attention.
Then suddenly the greek show started to diversify from lmfb.
Maria and Alexis (the characters) gave an interview and appeared in other TV shows.
I cannot concentrate in the quartel. It’s not like a chorus. It’s a quartel protecting the interest of its members.
Lmfb is a dramedy (a comedy and a drama). Till now Maria is something between a comedy and a farce and a parody of lmfb and other shows. I cannot see any dramatic element in the first season of Maria. And frankly, I don’t want to see more drama now.
Some moments of Maria
I cannot be mad at Lillian (Alicia). This week Dimitris (Omar) proposed to her (he thinks she’s pregnant). I laugh a lot with him. He has some very good lines of dialogue. The quartel found the truth. But Lillian says that it’s illegal to use her personal medical data without her consent so they cannot do anything against her. The next day the ghost of her mother disagrees with the deception. She speaks with the ghost. I don’t pay very much attention on the dialogue. The ghost disappears and she wants the ghost back.
Maria’s father, Hercules is teaching religious education in high school. He thinks he’s a great inventor (the reincarnation of Newton and Einstein in an episode) and produces many disasters with his experiments. Tonight he tries to be someone like David Copperfield. He’s experimenting with a knives and a pillow. The pillow is destroyed. Then he wants to try the knife on his wife. He says he was experimenting with the pillow. She is not a happy camper. We are not going to have the experiment.
Eleonora (Ana Leticia) has a Negro driver battler who never speaks. She is always trying to find a lover. She is having cosmetic surgeries all the time she even declares herself the patroness Saint of cosmetic surgery. She is experimenting also with Buddhism, reincarnation, aliens. She has a guru. She was the one who told Hercules (Robopop) that he was the reincarnation of Newton and Einstein. In all her other lives she was in love with Hercules, and now they must be together at last. Hercules believed the Newton and Einstein part, Maria’s mother was mad at first, but with a husband like Hercules she is familiar with this type of behavior and Eleonora accepts that they are going to be together in another reincarnation.
Nicolas’s mother (T’s mother in lmfb) has a good part of the show. She has a pastry shop. She and Hercules tried to produce a chocolate with no calories the other day but they ended at the hospital. I felt very sorry for them and the experiment.
Two or three days ago Maria and Alexis are having the same dream: they are very much in love and they are running happy and a forest. They are going to kiss. Cut. Alexis awakes terrified by the nightmare. Maria awakes in cloud nine. She wanted to kiss but her mother who cannot see the dream disagrees. She must get up for breakfast.
Fortunately the first part of Maria is ending soon. It’s time for summer break. The second part is coming in September.
The writers definitely read your comments in this blog and aimed to please.
And they are going to exaggerate again. Maria’s diary is a blog. I just discovered it. I cannot understand how it is going to remain a secret diary.
