La Fea Más Bella #296A 6/15/07 Pure plot
That's #296 by Univision's count; 295.5 hours of semi-unrequited love.
Inspired by his mother's miraculous recovery and his reconciliation with his father, Luigi suddenly sees Lety's inner beauty and decides to integrate the Lety and Aurora sides of her personality through the use of Apple technology and a brand of haircolor that is also sold in the US. The result does not, in my opinion, do justice to Lety, Aurora, or Angelica Vale; plus, I see a wide belt, and I think we agreed that we don't like those. But we know Lety's New-New-New Look is going to knock everybody's socks off, so let's just go with it. Luigi is quite pleased with himself. Waxing philosophical, he challenges Lety to live up to her new look. Lety looks unsure.
Meanwhile, in Acapulco, the restaurant guy wonders aloud why Aldo isn't happier about recuperating his restaurant. Aldo says that in order to be truly happy, he needs his woman. Just then, Aldo's favorite person, Fernando, shows up. Ah, so that's where he was last night... traveling to Acapulco. I, for one, would have felt much better if I could have seen him sitting in his airplane seat, or car, or whatever, making the trip. What, don't tell me I'm the only person who would enjoy watching him sit and read for half an hour? Just to make sure he gets there safely. Doesn't get bitten by a snake or anything.
Apparently, unlike us, Aldo wasn't worried about Fern at all and is not delighted to see him. No matter. Fern says he's here to talk about Lety. Aldo says that Fernando is the last person who should be intervening in his relationship with Lety. Fern interrupts and says Aldo can bore him with his moral superiority later. He wants to explain the story of Aurora that annoyed Aldo so much. It was motivated entirely by the love that Lety feels for Aldo.
Aldo disagrees and thinks that Lety disguised herself for the sole intention of being with Fern. She's in love with Fern. Fern admits that he loves her, but he and Lety were working together strictly as friends to solve the company's problems. He explains that Lety did the Aurora thing to teach Omar a lesson, and then to do the TV show to make the money needed to set herself and Aldo free. Therefore, Fern concludes, Aldo's gotten upset with Lety for no good reason.
Aldo wants to know why Fern is telling him this. Fern says he wanted to keep Aldo away from her and try to win her back for himself.
"Don't choke or strangle me," Fern says, eliciting a reluctant smile from Aldo as he proceeds with the saddest part of his tale. He had found out that Carmina lied when she told Lety that she was going to move in with Aldo. (Aldo scowls when he hears of Carmina's treachery.) Fern admits that he kept this information from Lety so she'd continue being mad at Aldo; and then he proposed marriage to her, but she refused. (Aldo smiles to himself triumphantly.) Fern says that the only thing he wants is for Lety to be happy.
Aldo says he can see that Fern's very much in love with Lety. Fern says yes, but the only way Lety can be happy is to be at Aldo's side. Aldo thanks him and says the Flavor of Life restaurant is reopening tonight... and it'd be a great honor if Fern would be the godfather (I guess he means "guest of honor"). Fern smiles and happily agrees. Thus is the strange phenomenon of male bonding.
In the Vortex of Stupidity
Luigi fans out his jacket to hide Lety standing behind him. He greets the cuartel as lovely arampaguilas (not in my dictionary) and makes a little announcement about the new Leticia Padilla Solis. He stands aside to let them see. The cuartel exclaims happily at what, I believe, is the fourth incarnation of Lety. (Regular Lety, the scary green New Lety, Aurora, and now this one makes four.) Ah, her hair color looks better in this light. She answers them in her regular Lety voice.
Luigi beams with pride. Caro rushes over with admiration and hugs. Omar awkwardly indicates his approval as well.
In the Delta of Doom
Alibubis is on the phone with Papi in Tomas's office. She says she's got a conflict: she can get rich in the open-and-close of an eye (funny, there's a Spanish word for "blink," but she doesn't use it), but... she's not sure. (She doesn't mention that grand larceny is involved.) She pauses, then happily agrees that these opportunities aren't frequent and she should take advantage. She makes kissy noises at the phone and tells her father that she loves him and misses him. She hangs up and sits at Tomas's computer. She wonders which account she should transfer the money to. She thinks maybe the Swiss bank account her ex set up for her years ago. He left her without a penny, but he never canceled the account. She says to herself, Ay Mauricio Birmann, for the first time in your life you did something good. She's going to buy herself an airplane... that is, a ticket... before she can do the transfer, so how's she going to pay for the ticket? (I guess she's saying she needs to be in Switzerland in order to do the transfer, because she only just now decided which account to put it in, and she doesn't do any typing in this scene.)
She needs a credit card, so she looks through Tomas's wallet (praising his generosity all the while, of course), where she finds and admires more photos of herself. She finds the card she wants, but Tomas comes back before she has a chance to carry out her plan. She hurriedly stuffs the card into her dress and claims that she's thinking, as she sometimes does, from time to time. She asks if he ever feels like thinking. She asks him for the phone and says she's going to the doctor, and that she'll see Tomas at home tonight.
Tomas gets up and excitedly offers to go to the doctor with her. She hurries out, saying, nope, sorry, no can do, bye! He calls after her to take care of their little baby.
Who invited all these people to my house??
Julieta answers the door and a big parade comes in: Marcia, Luigi, Caro, Omar, the cuartel... RoboPop wants to know what they're all doing there. Luigi says they've brought a big surprise. RoboPop, the big grouch, says he doesn't know what Luigi's talking about; better yet, why don't they leave and take their surprise with them.
Jeez! What is up with RoboPop! This is way grouchy even for him. They tell him he's going to regret it, and that it's a very pretty surprise. Lety steps forward and says she's the surprise. RoboPop approves! Julieta approves! Then RoboPop says she'd better not be playing with this look, the way she did as Aurora. She says nope, this is how she's going to be forever. She feels good about herself, inside and outside. She understands now that everyone can attain their beauty.
Everyone (including Lety and her parents) claps. Luigi leads them in a cheer. Wheeee, there's Celso! Now my evening is complete. :-) Lety puts her hand to her lips and giggles.
Lety and Julieta go to Lety's room to chat. Before they can say anything of importance, RoboPop joins in, wanting an explanation. (Moty comes in too, but doesn't cause any trouble.) Lety says that she's going to tell her mom some of the things she's learned about herself. "Woman things," she elaborates, showing him to the door. Julieta giggles.
Now that Erasmo's gone and the door's closed, Lety admits that that's not really what she had in mind. She whips out her makeup kit and waves some tweezers at her mother. She says her mom's going to stop being a "cejijunta" (unibrow) and bigotona (whiskered lady). "Me?" Julieta asks, perplexed.
After a long wait, RoboPop gets impatient and asks what they're up to. Lety tells him to close his eyes. He resists; Lety tells him that if he doesn't, Mom won't come downstairs. He complies, and Mom comes down. Lety tells him to look. He doesn't seem thrilled.
"I told you he'd be upset," Julieta says. He doesn't say much, but he doesn't seem happy. She is wearing some makeup and her eyebrows are plucked and her hair is different; it's actually the absence of the glasses that surprises me the most. RoboPop takes her hands and says that he married the most beautiful woman in existence. He then invites her for a second honeymoon. Julieta seems tempted, but wonders about their daughter. Lety assures them that she's grown up now. Erasmo agrees that Lety is a woman "hecha y derecha" (made and right, i.e. grown up right). Lety says it's a good chance for them to go to Acapulco. He tells Julieta they can go whenever she wants. She wants to start planning right now.
Lety tells herself she just needs Aldo to be happy, truly happy.
At the Love Shack
Alicia is telling someone on the phone that she needs a plane to Switzerland tomorrow... yes, she agrees with the travel agent, she needs a ticket. She needs to deposit a lot of money into her account in a hurry. (Yeah, I'm sure that doesn't sound suspicious to the airline people at all.) She tells the travel agent that she just wants one ticket. In first class, of course.
She reaches for a pen and drops the phone. (Ad-libbing, she asks the person on the phone if he's okay.) She writes down the particulars of her flight and promises to be there tomorrow to get her airplane... yes, she agrees with the travel agent, her ticket. She says she'll pay with her husband's credit card.
Later, she is packing her things to go to Switzerland and be rich and free. She won't need anyone. She's just going to bring the important things (which evidently includes her lucky red nightgown); everything else, she'll buy new.
Tomas gets home, and why not; he lives there. He wants to know what the doctor said. "Nothing," she says, which doesn't exactly distract him. He notices the suitcase. Thinking fast, she says she's going on a trip, for her "treatment." Because her doctor moved to Culican.
Even Tomas doesn't fall for this one. He says that's absurd, and begins unpacking her bag. He says they'll find another doctor. She starts repacking and says this doctor is very good, and anyway, she'll definitely come back, so don't worry.
He asks when she's leaving. In a sudden fit of what appears to be cold feet, she sadly says it's tomorrow afternoon. He wants to go with her, but he's got too much work, has to prepare for the Big Meeting. (Yikes, I just realized it's been six months!) He sits at her feet and says he'll miss her. "Ay, Tomy, how tender you are," she says sadly as he snuggles against her legs.
"Poor thing," she thought-bubbles, "you're going to be left without a million dollars and will never see me again."
Struck by inspiration, she asks if he'd like to sleep together. He jumps to his feet and asks if she's serious. He eagerly begins kissing up her arm, but stops when he reaches her face. "Better not," he says. "We want to have a baby, remember? We can't disregard the treatment like we did last time. I love you, and I'm going to go on sacrificing myself for our family...
"Although...," he adds, looking at her thoughtfully.
He jumps on top of her. She looks up at him with an expression of... what.. Fear?
Excitement?
Dare I say... anticipation?
Tomas kisses her other arm and runs out of the room. "See you tomorrow, chiquita."
Staring at the closed door, Alicia seems strangely ambivalent.
Flavor of Life, Take Two
It's the grand reopening of The Flavor of Life. Ah, I see what the "godfather" does at a restaurant launch... Fern's holding a pair of scissors and is standing in front of a big ribbon at the restaurant entrance. Fern charms the crowd just by being himself, cuts the ribbon, makes a tiny speech about wanting the place to be a success, then opens a champagne bottle. Just as he is about to call out the chef by name, Aldo interrupts - probably worried about being called "Domensolin" or worse - and Fern asks him not to cut off his inspiration. Fern says "The Flavor of Life - that's not too pretentious of a name." (This didn't sound snotty when Fern said it.) He pours out the champagne and leads them in a toast.
Last words
Fernando is in bed with his diary and saying that he's only thinking about Lety's happiness; he doesn't matter. But he feels so lost. He's sad that he and Lety will never write their love story in the diary together. He says it was dumb of him that day to let Lety be free to sort out her feelings, to find out whether she was in love with him or with Aldo. He would have sworn that he and Lety would have ended up together, but it went the opposite way. She truly loves Aldo, and Fern believes that Aldo deserves her love.
He closes the diary. (If he had a pen, I didn't see it; maybe it's one of those magic diaries that write when you speak to them.) Tears roll neatly down his cheeks.
Meanwhile, Aldo is still at the restaurant, recalling Fern's wish that Lety be happy at Aldo's side. Aldo says the final word hasn't been said yet.
No, there's still no official word as to when the gran finale will be, nor whether it will be in a three-hour block or six half-hours or three full hours or what. I promise we'll post something as soon as we know.
Inspired by his mother's miraculous recovery and his reconciliation with his father, Luigi suddenly sees Lety's inner beauty and decides to integrate the Lety and Aurora sides of her personality through the use of Apple technology and a brand of haircolor that is also sold in the US. The result does not, in my opinion, do justice to Lety, Aurora, or Angelica Vale; plus, I see a wide belt, and I think we agreed that we don't like those.

Hey, Julie! Let me be among the first to compliment you on a stellar recap! It was totally diverting!
“plus, I see a wide belt, and I think we agreed that we don't like those.” ROTFL! Yes, we did.
“Waxing philosophical, he challenges Lety to live up to her new look. Lety looks unsure.” Well, we know for sure it’s still Lety if she’s unsure.
“Aldo thanks him ……. Thus is the strange phenomenon of male bonding.” It sure was. I don’t think I’ve seen any faster 180 turnabout in television history. Very awkward for a viewer who expects them to choke each other. Do guys really do that (not choke, bond this fast)?
Alicia is just plain bizarre. How can she look through Tomy’s desk, office, wallet, etc. and not realize she has a pretty darn good deal with virtually unconditional love here? What’s happened to this chick to make her so dense (well, I suppose she was probably born dense)?
RoboPop finally responded the way he should, with pride and love. His reaction to Julieta’s makeover was even better than it was to Lety’s.
“Wheeee, there's Celso! Now my evening is complete. :-) “ A Celso fan, huh? Are you rooting for him to be Octavio? Or are you just rooting to wake up and find him in your living room?
“Fern says "The Flavor of Life - that's not too pretentious of a name." (This didn't sound snotty when Fern said it.” ROTFL! At least not this time, it didn’t!

Thank god some Fernando and Aldo in this one. If this had been another Fernando-free episode, you'd have heard my screaming all the way over on the east coast. Gotta have my fix of those big brown eyes!
I am so very incredibly sick of Alicia, I'd even watch hours of the cuartel over her! Well... maybe not, but I'd at least consider it! Screech!!!!! Someone slam her a** behind bars so we don't have to watch her any more, please!!!
Excellent recap, as always. Thanks!!!

Dont you just feel sorry for whichever guy winds up with multiple personality "Cybill Lety"? The only thing keeping bobble head CL from bouncing off the dashboard of sanity is the stability of her parents. Lesson to learn from this novella, "Whoever has the most problems runs the relationship". Alicia knows this dating rule well. Note to myself: Make sure you have more problems than the person you date or marry!

the admirer is probably not celso, its gotta be Jacks! bc he's supposed to be 45ish, remember? altho I think jacks is more 55ish. And also they had a scene where Mar was chatting with him in a junta, (just a little scene) that must be where he fell in love.

What an adorable, tender recap, thank you so very much. I'm very uncomfortable with the New Improved Lety and how everybody goes gaga over her - after all that talk about "inner beauty" it's really all about Mascara and hair coloring - but whatever.
Great recap - witty and humorous a ususual. Thanks!
I like new Lety, she looks so much more real than Aurora. Aurora was too devine, untouchable and glamorous. And now we have next door girl with the charm. May be the hair color is different to emphasize the difference between old Lety and the new one. May be the lighter color considered "higher level" in Mexico, I don't know. I think darker would be better but - we all get used to it!
Fernando was fabulous! I can't get enough of him!
And after Aldo said that this is not the last word - I almost started to like him.
May be can see the and of Alcia finally - she is getting on my nerves! ( but Patty Navidad doing a great job getting me there - very good actress)

I like new Lety, she looks so much more real than Aurora. Aurora was too devine, untouchable and glamorous. And now we have next door girl with the charm. May be the hair color is different to emphasize the difference between old Lety and the new one. May be the lighter color considered "higher level" in Mexico, I don't know. I think darker would be better but - we all get used to it!
Fernando was fabulous! I can't get enough of him!
And after Aldo said that this is not the last word - I almost started to like him.

At last, another scene with Fernando in a white tee-shirt, I swear I like him even better that way than in a suit and tie...though that's great too!
Yes, ultra-quick male bonding, although I must say, guys seem to get over their spats faster than we women do...so at that to telenovela time warp getting the the grande finale speed and I guess it makes sense.
Hanging in there to the end and hoping for more tee-shirt scenes with Don Fernando tan divino!

Lety looks beautiful,but there's something about the wardrobe department at Televisa that loves wide belts around these short actresses..It's just cuts in the middle making them look ever shorter..Other than that, I love the new look..It should have come months back..
Angelica Vale is really beautiful,but television requires certain lighting & makeup to bring out her true beauty.

I have one word to say: DE-nied! I bet Alicia has NEVER had a man turn her down before. Oh the irony.
Men do get over things quicker and Fernando was so sincere when he told Aldo that Lety's happiness was with Aldo. Who would argue with those big brown eyes?

Thanks so much Julie for the great recap!
Didn't Fernando look cute sitting on the bed in his white tee shirt with the diary? I'd like a poster of that for my bedroom!!!!!!!!!
I like feuding Fern and Aldo much better than shake hands and be buddies Fern and Aldo.
I know from 25 years with my husband that men definitely do get over spats quicker than women! It doesn't make sense to me but it seems to be how they are made. Multiply that by telenovela super speed and it makes my head spin.
Cybil Lety indeed! That describes her to a tee. I'm afraid she will be a bobble head to the very end!

Great recap, Julie. I love "scary green Lety."
I'm beginning to think Alicia is delusional or otherwise psychotic, which is quite sad. I don't know what to make of it.
Lety is still doing those tics and goofy tooth-baring giggles with the new look, but then she catches herself. That's what she really needs to do--remember to act grown up.
And news flash: My friend at Univision just e-mailed me: there is a three-hour finale on June 25 from 7-10 Eastern Time.

Sistah Val, you are a hoot! I love reading your comments! (Whoever has the most problems runs the relationship).
Pitzie, I'm 55-ish (well okay, under 24 hours of 56-ish) and I think Jacques is more like 65ish. Or else he's a darn old-looking 55 compared to all my colleagues in my office who are 56 and 57. For what it's worth, I think he's creepy. He's got a mean streak. I hope Marcia's admirer isn't Jacques but I'm afraid you might be right. (My hubby is 71 and he acts younger than Jacques, and most people can't believe he is that old). The part that would make sense about it is that he's seen Lety play two people, so sending someone else's photo would occur to him. Or, it could be photo of him as a younger person before he got a makeover as an adult. But, Jacques, ick.

NinaK, say it ain't so!!!! I'm going to be at a business conference out of town on the 25th and won't even be able to watch until the 29th!!!! DRAT! I was hoping for the 22nd (because I'm supposed to recap two right before I got out of town and that would get me off the hook for both). Oh, that sounds so selfish, doesn't it?

Thanks Julie for the great recap!
Lori - Aldo also turned Alicia down but I imagine to do so makes Tomas more attractive.
All - Did I miss something? Is Alicia pregnant already or not?
This may be just my wishful thinking but my hope of course is that Aldo's "last word" means a plan to get Lety back with Fern...
Can't believe that after following this show faithfully for more than a year (even though I never took Spanish, it's helping me learn it), that the fun is almost over! I'm depressed already!
I can't thank all of you Recappers enough for sharing the fun! I will miss you all!

Julie, thanks for the great recap. I'm staying at my niece's house and can't find the captions on her remote. Oh well, at least I got to see Fern in the white t-shirt. He looked pretty good in that black sweater, too. I'll be home by the 25, just hope a summer lightning storm doesn't knock out the tv.

After all of this time watching Lety with her dark hair pulled back in a braid, it would have been nice to see it unbraided and hanging loose before they did anything else with her appearance. It's too bad they think they have to lighten the color to make her more beautiful. What kind of message does that send to young Mexican women about their own natural beauty? OK, now that I have that gripe off my chest, I think Lety looks generally OK, and as Julie says, we'll just have to go with it. I want to know what those motorcycles that looked like they were flying off a cliff in the teaser previews are all about. Thank you, Julie, for a captivating recap! Thanks to all the recappers for their excellent work, and to the commenters for the entertaining observations and information! I'm so glad to know when the gran final is so I can plan my life. Dara B

AY AY! I just discovered recaps and comments Monday, episode 292. How sad is that! and I don't know Spanish; and am the only gringo in Palos Verdes to watch LFMB. Have watched since Jan. and I would have been lost without Wikipedia's plot line. Never watched Eng. soaps or telys before and just got hooked on this. I can't figure, but maybe it's Jaime. Re: Alicia--Paty Navidad really has a wonderful voice. That scene in the restaurant--so I don't get freaked when I see her. Bet she'll be glad this is over. You ALL are terrific. Lisa

Aldo commented at the end "the final word hasn't been said yet". This was after fern said lety would only be happy with aldo. I am thinking that aldo knows lety "thinks" she is in love with aldo but her body language (aura kisses and such) show she really loves fern and therefore he will let her go????? Those words meant something. I am sure.

Fernando was so cute in his t-shirt and him going to try to bring Lety and Aldo back together was incredibly selfless and him crying at the end. I wanted to give him a big hug. I wonder what Aldo meant at the end when he said
"the last word hadn't been spoken." I guess we'll find out soon enough. So the finale is on the 25th. Will do. Thanks for the wonderful recap.

Wide belts were from the 50's and early 60's, (my school days). Ocampy doesn't appear to be stylish and possibly she is oldfashioned?? With lety, I thought her hair and face were beautiful. She did looi chunky in that outfit, but it is the way ocampy has her dressed I think.
food for thought. All through La Fea most of us got very upset when things were not going wel between lety and fern; now she appears ready to run t aldos arms and surely there will be a romantic kiss. Let's face it. They are engaged and they only kissed twice. Once recent and once in Alcopulco when she was there with cara. Both times she pulled away because she was thinking of fern. So she is due for a romantic kiss, NO???? ths would tear me apart. Even her going to him or him coming back to conceptos to be with her. to me it is heart wrenching, yet no one is really seeming that concerned??

Thank you, Amanada. I agree, we should have seen a shot of Fern on a plane or driving to Aca on Thurs nite. Aldo was still in a snit; it was funny how Fern had to pretty much tell him, just shut up and listen a couple of times. I also love Fern in is his white shirt and gray pj bottoms, the sweater with the gold designs, not so much. I wonder if Lety is going to find his man diary? I would have definitely preferred a gradual Lety makeover. It just would have been so nice for her to maybe first realize, hey, I like these Aurora eyebrows, I am keeping them. Then, as someone mentioned, she could have let the braid down. Sistah Val, your comments about “Cybill Lety” made me laugh. Thanks to whoever posted the youtube link to the “Estare” clip yesterday. Those old Fern and Lety moments are so nice to see. They had good chemistry. Now, I am soured on Lety. She needs to remember whose jacket she was holding onto and smelling and come clean with herself, Aldo and Fern. Not much time left to do it. June 25 is a Monday. I am getting mighty impatient to see how this ends, but it’s only another week.

During the months and months of filler scenes the only reason that i hung on was to see Lety transformed(other than fer) although Aurora was pretty she was a bit over the top so seeing her now she looks alot better.I think it was time for her inner beauty(although sometimes hard to see)to show on the outside i was sick of hearing her say "soy la fea".Concerning the clothes:who knows maybe they will be in style soon, other countries have style trends before they get in style here i remember one episode Marcia was wearing a pair of black bermuda pants and then a few weeks later everywhere i looked someone was wearing them and now i'm considering getting a pair myself :)

Laura: Alicia isn't pregnant yet, that we know of. The scary truth, though, is that even if she were, she probably wouldn't realize and acknowledge it until the nurse was waving the baby in her face and asking what she wants to name it.
Lord I do hope that the 25th is the end because I leave for the airport at 10 in the morning on the 26th and that will give me enough time to pop in here and shed a few tears over the end with all of you.
From the beginning I think Aldo has sort of liked Fern and would have been friendlier to him if Lety wasn't standing in the middle. He also respects Fern keeping his promise so the male bonding didn't bother me too much. I did however LOVE it when Fern busted Carmina over her lie and her chances with Aldo flew out the door. He was obviously not pleased. Take that SG B**ch!
I though Alicia looked like she had some serious reservations about what she is about to do. It will be interesting to see if she repents and stays with Tomy. She may be as thick as a brick but she has to know he is the only person in the world who has ever really loved her.
Yuck on those wide belts but otherwise the New Lety looked young, happy and not overdone. Now it will be fun to see how both Fern and Aldo react to the new her.
Someone mentioned the light hair and being more upper class in Mexico. Unfortunately the lighter you are, the more European looking the more high class you are considered. Once you watch novelas for a while you see an unfortunate number of actresses bleaching and dying their hair lighter and while some of them look good they do not look as beautiful as they did before trying to hide their ethnicity. I can think of only a couple of lead actresses who do not try to Europeanize themselves. Oddly enough there doesn't seem to be a problem with the men so you have galans that are clearly ethnic looking like Jamie, Colunga. Gattorno and Santamarina as well as the more European looking ones like Juan, Guy Ecker and, Sebastian Rulli.

Ok this is for anyone else with a DVR, Ive been recording LFMB since October when I got my DVR and I have it to record the novela everyday. But for some reason it wont record on Frieday the 22nd. Even if I go to the TV guide and try to record it there. Is this happening with anyone else????

RE: Dark Tresses
Being from an older generation, I remember that two of the most prominent and beautiful Mexican actresses of the 1940's and 50's were dark haired: Maria Felix and Dolores Del Rio. (Sorry - don't know how to do that Wikipedia link thing).
These fair-haired actresses of today are a recent phenomena.
I am so going to miss the carrying-ons of LFMB.
BTW - I think that if Alicia doesn't get a clue soon, she will be spending some time in the "Big House" for embezzlement.
Will there be any LFMB next week (Jun 18-22)? There are only about 3 hours of story left, I think (i.e., the grand finale episode).
Thanks again to all the wonderful recappers, Blog Mama Melinama, and those of you who share your comments and insights.
PS - When will the Cristina show with LFMB cast be broadcast???

Fernando's black and white outfit that he wore at the restuarant with Aldo was very foreign looking to me, but all the while as I was looking at those broad shoulders, and small waist and thinkin "What a lot o man he is!!" Although they say he's 6ft1. and that doesn't seem so tall by U.S. standards he sure looks tall. I also noticed the sexy tatoo on his arm, that he looks like he added something to it. I don't generally care for tatoos, but I must say I do like his!

Is it that spanish men like their dark color but the women don't. When i was a teen, italian and spanish men were thought to be the most handsome of all men. I still think they are. Yet the women want to look european?? That explains my confusion as to most of the women in the soaps. They look american. They don't look spanish. Only a few and they are the mothers or the maids. Like the people in Destilando. Gaviotas mom and the mother of one of the men who plays a servant type part in destilando.

Yes, we have faith..Those of us who have been with this show from day one feel in our hearts that love will prevail,and I don't mean with Aldo. We've talked about the lack of chemistry on here between Aldo and Lety many times,and the smoking passion between Fern & Lety.Hopefully, Lety will have a light bulb moment here before the show is over,but let's hope Aldo steps up and has the same and walks. If he loves her,he will allow her to be free to love who he knows she loves.
Unfortunately there is a caste system in Latin America and the lighter more European looking the higher on the scale. Fortunately that are beautiful ethnic looking actresses like Yadhira Carrrillo and Ana Karina Casanova who get a lot of work and not as maids and secondary characters. It has always existed but I suspect that the prevalence of American TV and movies has also impacted the belief that scarecrow thin, silicon enhanced, bleached blondes are the ideal beauty. I don't get it and refuse to fall into that trap but millions do. It always struck me as strange, when I lived in Mexico I could go down to the market at night and all the Indians would be sitting around TV sets watching all these artificial blondes strutting around. They certainly didn't have many role models unless they wanted to be servants.
Thank heaven it doesn't apply to most men or we wouldn't be drooling over JC as I speak.

Exportred I too would like to see Aldo step up and admit that he knows Lety doesn't love him in "that" way and leave the door open for Fern BUT I really want Lety to make up her own mind once and for all and not just end up being passed back an forth between two gallant men. Personally I think Fern is nuts to take her back knowing that she is prone to changing her mind every 60 seconds. If this were any place other than Novelaland she should take a good long break from both men and get her s**t together before making any serious commitments.

Thanks Julie for clarifying Alicia's status!
I missed some shows early on and had some other questions maybe you or the others could help me with:
- Did we ever see the Marcia throwing the bouquet in the ocean scene or the Fernando in white with curly hair running down the sidewalk after Lety in white scene in an actual show or were these only in the old opening sequence?
- There were references in an earlier day's comment to Fern and Omar serenading Caro. When did this happen?
- Anyone know about how much of the Mexican version is cut from what we see in each show? Is it a set # of minutes from each show or just scenes that they think wouldn't go over well in the US or just most (not all unfortunately) of the internal product placement commercials?
Thanks again!

To Pricesskathy:
About your DVR, maybe there is no more disk space. You may have to erase something. I and recording the episodes on DVD's and not on my DVR.
And about the european looking actresses, it is true. My Latina co-workers ooh & aah over blue eyes. When someone has a baby and it has blue eyes, they just love it. There is one very popular Mexican singer named Kalimba. He is Afro/Mexican. As a matter of fact I ordered his CD from Amazon. He sings in both English & Spanish. You can find him on YouTube in a concert with Ha-Ash.
I love his music.

Not that there could ever be any kind of inconsistency in a telenovela, but another reason Lety's lighter hair color sort of bugged me is that earlier in the show when they were planning the Mexican food expo, didn't Lety talk about how there were too many European looking people on Mexican TV, and that for their expo they should show people who looked truly Mexican? Oh, well. Dara B

I think Lety looked like a sausage in her new outfit, or maybe she's gained 20 lbs since the series began.
With America's standards shifting, that actresses of mixed race like Halle Berry being held up as among the most beautiful, you would think that Mexico and other Latin countries would get a clue and stop emulating the European "pure" Spanish or white American look as being the most coveted. And yup, I like the looks of many of the women playing maids, or lower class people, simply because they look real. Often, they are better actresses too.
Therefore, count me in as one who also would have liked to seen the new Lety with a variation of her real hair.
They could have played her as more naturally beautiful by losing some of the extreme faces she made, as a transformation wrought by her confidence.
I also think it was a mistake in the original series, that Lety didn't become more empowered and confident toward the end, instead of all wishy washy over romance issues, as if all women, no matter how intelligent or capable, in the end are subject to their main purpose in life of undergoing makeovers to please men. Sure, everyone wants to love and be loved, by someone who can remain faithful but...
Of course, the delightfully original aspect to this story is that Fern fell for her, BEFORE the makeover, while at first thinking of her as more or less a joke.

I also think it was a mistake in the original series, that Lety didn't become more empowered and confident toward the end, instead of all wishy washy over romance issues, as if all women, no matter how intelligent or capable, in the end are subject to their main purpose in life of undergoing makeovers to please men. Sure, everyone wants to love and be loved, by someone who can remain faithful but...
Of course, the delightfully original aspect to this story is that Fern fell for her, BEFORE the makeover, while at first thinking of her as more or less a joke.

A lot of people have been commenting about Lety's new look. She has been saying that she doesn't really know who she is anymore... and how she feels on the inside doesn't seem to reflect what's on the outside. I think she looks nice with the lighter hair. I wasn't familiar with the idea that lighter hair meant high class in Mexico so I wasn't bothered at all by her lighter hair & still am not. I think she would look great in both light and dark hair. Everyone should be able to experiment with their own look.

I don't know what they were thinking putting Fernando in that black & white combo. It's funny how Aldo wore weird stuff in Fernado's territory & now Fernando is wearing werid clothing in Aldo's territory. I too noticed Jaime's second tatoo on his right arm. I think that Alicia is starting to feel something for Tomas because it seems like she doesn't want to leave him. I love this show and reading all the recaps. It's how I learned Spanish. I used the captions only once, but stopped because I found myself concentrating more on the words than Fernado's face. My brother is annoyed because I now know more Spanish than him & he took 4 yrs of it in school. I truly think t.v. is the best way to learn a language. That's how I learned my own Indian language as well.

Laura:
1. Negatory on Marcia throwing the bouquet. Marcia hasn't gotten married on this show. Neither has Caro (for those who thought that was Caro throwing the bouquet). I think that whole opening credits thing was just meant to taunt and tantalize.
2. I've never seen Fern and Omar serenade Caro, but it's possible that this happened before I started watching, when they were trying to get her to do a job for Conceptos and she was reluctant.
3. People who actually watched the show as it aired in Mexico can surely answer this question better than I, but I suspect the amount that was cut from the Mexican episodes probably varies from episode to episode. I think someone once mentioned that occasionally, our episodes got beefed up a bit with filler footage (like more cuartel crap) that hadn't aired in Mexico. Like maybe they would cut out a product placement ad for the US audience but then replace it with a dumb cuartel scene.
This kind of editing is probably a nuisance and so I doubt that they would have done it any more often than absolutely necessary... which means probably not for every episode (or even most episodes).

I didn't think Lety looked fat at all in her new outfit. I actually liked the belt & its becoming a fashion trend again. She looks more her age now, but still youthful.

Hey, I thought I was the only person who wouldn't like Fern's Acapulco outfit. I think I don't like Fern as much in a sweater. I don't say this often (in fact I'm not sure I've ever said this before), but Fern actually looks BETTER in a suit to me than in casual clothes. (Most men, I think they look better in casual clothes.)
Fern does look great in a suit and tie, very much at home, just relaxed and comfortable. He carries himself really well in business dress. But he still looks so sweet in the white tee shirts.

Julie,
Fernando can carry a suit & tie better than no other. I didn't like the outfit he wore at the airport when he was going to N.Y.C. either. But at least in real life Jaime dresses really well. Fernando can carry a white shirt & grey pj pants like no other as well.

Julie I have been meaning to tell you this, but I keep forgetting. Has anyone ever told you you look a lot like Michelle Williams? She played Jen on Dawson's Creek. If you haven't seen that show, then she also played Heath Ledger's wife in Broke back mountain.

I agree Julie with Fern's Acapulco sweater. I thought it was too fancy and maybe would have looked better on Luigi.
Fern looks better in a suit than anyone I have seen. Of course he also looks better in a white tee than anyone else either!

I think people are reading WAAAAY too much into Lety's hair color! I have very dark hair, and am 100% Latina. My hairdresser suggested lighter color and highlights (very similar to Lety's) because it is a hot look right now, at least in my area, and because she felt it would give me a younger look! She was right- so many people commented that I look about 5 years younger with the lighter hair than my natural color. It's not about denying my heritage, or trying to look upper class- I just want to look good!

Julie, what a great recap - I had to wait a day to read it - but it was worth the wait.
I am so disgusted with Alicia - we all know she's self-absorbed - but taking money that could literally unemploy everyone in the only "family" she has is just disgusting. I don't care what kind of pain she's had in her past. And, Tomas doesn't deserve it either even though he's been kind of stupid and thinking with "Little Tomas" instead of his brain.
Lisa from Palos Verdes - is that PV in Calif.? If so, I live close by in Long Beach and work in Torrance. Small world.
I'm already going thru with
Fernie withdrawls - like I've posted before, last summer he got me thru some bad times, truly.
I guess every good thing must come to an end. Que lastima
!!!! Sandy

Tani, hairdressers will traditionally recommend whatever treatment or style is a. popular, and b. lucrative for them. Plus, people thrive on novelty and change, even if it looks fake and isn't for the better at all. Friends and co-workers have to say SOMETHING when someone changes their look, even if they are wearing a wig that looks like roadkill. I've had girlfriends who politely and sincerely complimented a mutual friend on her new hair or clothes, because we love her and know she is striving to look nicer, and yet we are all thinking the same word to describe it: "sleezebag."
Lety's new look is obviously something pushed by Mexican trends, and yes, the caste system still exists regarding skin/hair color. If Dr. Mengele eye- injections-to-turn brown-eyes-blue treatment comes out, I'm sure wealthy Mexicans will be lining up to get it, for those who are unhappy wearing color-change contacts.

I just watched Fri episode again - I don't think Fernie's sweater was that objectionable. I've noticed before that he dresses rather European - but I come from the "he'd look good in a gunnysack" camp.
I don't know about all of you recappers and commenters, but I'd be kind of offended if my makeover team required blue prints to get my new look off the ground. ha ha

I posted about Omar and Fern singing to Caro. It is one of the bloopers on youtube. I think it is less about things being cut from the US version as bloopers and things that never made the cut in the first place.
Check this out and if you don't just die laughing at the pencil bit I'll be surprised. It makes me cry every time I see it.

Ooops, sorry Julie, just noticed I called you Amanda when I thanked you for the recap yesterday. (BTW I do see the Michelle W resemblance in your pic.)
Jaime does look great in his suits and I love the cufflinks. As for the sweater, I just thought it was too busy, with those swirly designs on the shoulders. So, any theories about the motorcycles in the preview? I also noticed there was a guy with a gun and it looked like he had a badge. Maybe he is going to arrest Alicia? Maybe Lety will be kidnapped by a real stalker? Someone who is obsessed with Aurora from the TV show?
I could see this happening. They do a damsel in distress thing and this makes Lety realize who her true love is. This is pure speculation on my part.

LOL at the bloopers. I'd seen it before, but I'd forgotten how funny it was. I remember watching the episode where Alicia was doing the snake-charmer dance and wondering how many takes they'd needed to get it without everyone cracking up.
As for the guy with the gun and the badge - good, I can still hold out hope that Ariel will get busted for some previously unknown, hideous crime. :)

Here's the other bloopers video. There are a few seconds at the beginning that were in the first bloopers, but the rest is fairly new.
The link has been posted in the comments before, but it contains some material that until recently, could have been considered spoilers. By now, we've seen everything in it, so there aren't any spoilers anymore.
Highlights include Angelica getting her eyebrows drawn on for the last time, and Juan Soler getting distracted by his child's happy off-camera babbling. :)

Anonymous 10:59, you make some good points, but I still think Lety's new style is more about what is fashionable (at the moment) than about about any type of classism or bias against ethicity. I try not to take fashion trends too seriously. Soon the highlights trend will be gone and everyone will be laughing about when they had stripey hair "back in the day". Change is a good thing, especially for someone like Lety...it's only hair, she can always change it back!
And don't tell your friend that she looks good if she looks like a "sleazebag"! Give her some constructive criticism instead...it's called "tough love"! :)

This is the first time I have posted a comment, so I should begin with a huge thanks to all the recappers. Their time and energy are a big help to those of us who started watching telenovelas (my first was La Madrastra) to learn Spanish. Muchisimas gracias!
An anonymous poster referred to “Jaime who tends toward the feminine side” on Friday. I found that very interesting since my first impression of Fernando/Jaime (when I started watching La Fea, unfortunately only after Destilando Amor began) was exactly the same. At that time, after reading a synopsis of the show, I could not understand how most of those posting comments seemed to be so taken with Fern/Jaime when he had treated Lety badly in the beginning, in addition to my impression of his not being terribly manly.
I must now confess, after only a few months of watching La Fea, I GET IT. I find Fernando/Jaime adorable and so very sexy. I love watching he and Lety together, and although I also find Aldo attractive, I’m completely pulling for Fern. And although I wasn’t that in to La Fea when I started, I’m now mourning the imminent end of the show with you!
I thought I would pass this impression on so that maybe more of you will hang in there for Juan Querendon and see if the show and Juan grow on you. It’s amazing how impressions change! Each show I’ve become involved in watching has had a different hold on me.
Again, thanks so much for the fantastic, humorous work of the recappers.

Excellent, excellent recap, Julie!
I just LOVED when Alicia dropped the phone, picked it up, and asked the airline person if he/she was okay... what a hoot!
I want Fernando's black Acapulco sweater! ...Preferrably with his cologne still on it.

Re the makeover, it would have been nice if, instead of focusing so much on "fashionable," they'd put Lety in something that was also flattering. Just because something is "in style" doesn't mean it looks good on any body type.

The wide belt trend is a fashion must-have right now, so the stylists are keeping the wardrobes on La Fea right in vogue. Ditto for highlighted hair and, yes, we'll probably look back in a few years and wonder why we spent all that time and money in the same way that I now look back on the big permed hair days.

It seemed in the blooper that the dog trainer was calling the dog "Moty". I suppose it is the dog's real name?
I agree that choosing a new hair color should be fun and everyone is free to choose any color they like.
The sad part is when you've played with hair colors most of your life (like me),and then suddenly when the gray starts to come in you don't feel it's always an option anymore.
I would like to go back to the "good old days" with dark hair, unfortunately the dark hair just isn't there anymore!!!!!!!!!!!!

I want to add my voice to the chorus of readers thanking the devoted and seemingly tireless recappers for their dedicated work. Besides helping those of us with limited proficiency (or none at all) in Spanish, the wry humor and informative asides on Mexican culture have truly heightened our enjoyment in hanging with the series through the many months of filler and annoying plot twists. This has been a great help to me, because my wife, fluent in Spanish, tired of translating for me about 15 months ago. Despite my limited Spanish, I have hung in there, almost entirely because of the great recaps. And like so many others who have commented, I have seen my Spanish improve dramatically over these many months, even without the benefit of the captions.
We owe all of the recappers a huge debt of thanks.

Hey - I really do appreciate the love, you guys. We do this for fun, but the thanks are nice too. :)
I never meant to say that Lety/Angelica looks awful with that hair color, but I know for a fact that there are other colors that suit her better. It looked as though there had been a product placement ad for Garnier Nutrisse, so of course they wanted to go for something "vivid" and different. (It least it wasn't Darth Bozo Red.)
I've had just about every hair color there is, now, but at the moment I'm trying to let the regular color grow in, gray and all. Eventually I'll get sick of that and go for an "unnatural" look again, but right now my own color is freaking me out enough. Hadn't seen it in a while, didn't recognize it right away when it started growing back. :)

Juli,
Have to laugh over your hair comment. When my in-laws met me I had one of my red hair versions going and had had for about 10 years. Due to a miscommunication with my hair dresser I once ended up back to my natural brown hair. The next time in I had him change it back to red only to have my mother in law tell me, thank heaven you are back to your natural red. That brown looked awful. I laughed my head off and told her the brown my real color so now you see why I changed it.
