Guapos 02-19-08 "Mama always told me not to look into the eye's of the sun..But mama, that's where the fun is.."

The title is for "Blinded by the Light"
cause Andrea was going toward & and after several rather boring episodes it looks like we are going to get some PSA mental health episodes

We begin this episode with the flirting in Al’s bedroom as he dozes off from the awesome med’s he got at the hospital. You see Al was stabbed yesterday chasing some young Ruffians who stole Mili’s beloved medallion that was passed down from her mother Rosario. The much missed and beloved Rosario.
---I must insert here, can you imagine how miserable Rosario’s life would have been, had she actually lived and gotten Const; as her prize in the big box of Cosmic CrackerJacks? I guess his father would have disinherited him and they would be living in some Mexico City shack, he would be banging anything that moved and odds are Rosario would be beaten on a daily basis---

Anyway Al got stabbed and well it seems it was actually more of a scratch than a deep penetrating wound as he was given some antibotics, a bandaid and sent on his merry way. It seems like it took about ten minutes, can you imagine? An emergency room, on New Years Eve, in and out, blam, slam & thankyou mam? It was fifteen hours before I could get my appendix out and I had insurance; however truthfully the morphine made it worth the trip.

Next day, Damien tells Andrea that they need to talk. She looks a little weary, come on she just got engaged, she isn’t ready to pull a family trifecta. She agrees to meet him for a drink.

Al comes into the kitchen still holding his side. Mili is making breakfast for Granny. There is flirting and so on. Al says they have to talk. I think Mili plans to get away so they can converse.

Mili asks Granny if she can take off and go to the church. She is in charge of some kids team or something. Granny says sure thing and she is going to tag along.

Meanwhile over at St. Deceptions, Padre Miguel & Head Madre are talking it out, Padre is telling her what a Grand ol’ time he had over at the Hacienda the night before. Good news, Al is engaged, so it looks like they don’t have to worry about that Old Testament forbidden incestual hook-up, or the what would be even worse in the eyes of their rich patrons, the servant/wealthy son hook-up. The Madre, isn’t so convinced, what about Mili? Does she still love Al? Nah, says Padre, she showed up with Hugo, Al’s cuz, who can now walk, just like Lazerus when he rose from the dead. Maybe Hugo will donate his Scooter Chair to the church.
---Sorry Padre, Lazerus, not quite.
Madre has that picture of Rosario, she wants to give it to Mili, the one Consti gave them when he dumped his kid off (for the second time) on the Church.

Padre wanders off and finds Mili & Grannie, Mili is trying to cover about the “Team” she is supposed to coaching or whatever. Padre tells her that Madre Superior wants to chat.

Al is poised all handsome on his jeep. Here comes Hugo, the cousins argue. Why is Al hanging around Mili? What’s it to you? I love Mili, No I love Mili. Hugo says who are you jerking around? You just got engaged last night AssHat? Al says he will break it off. Mili is for him and nothing Hugo can do, will split them up.

Andrea, meanwhile is throwing one back with Damien, we have a lot in common, we both love money. Now then he tells her the basic shares the family has of the company. Andrea says Al hates his father, but Val doesn’t care about the company so Al is next in line. Whoa hold on there little GoldDigger, seems like Consti has another roamin Bastard. He hooked up with Rosario, the servant.
---A look of distain, comes across Andrea’s normally P.O’d face---
Egads, Andrea laments the time she has spent watching “Cheetahs, or older women younger guys”, had she watched The Discovery Channel, she would have insight into if this banging the servants thing is inherited disorder, like webbed toes. Andrea vows once she is the head mistress, to only hire spayed servants and nip this family nightmare in the bud---
Damien tells her that should this Bastard show up, he/she would be in for a share. Andrea prays it is a he cause she would be up for sharing.

Now we see Val, Bobby is there and she inquires about his evening with the chunky girl. Val says it wasn’t right to run out on the girl and not spend the night. Bobby says it wasn’t right to set him up. Damn, this girl is sooooo annoying. She tells Bobby, while laughing at him, that he isn’t her type and never will be.
Is it wrong to wish Princess would get a big ol heaping helping of smallpox? Hey, not a fatal case, just a disfiguring case.

I for one hope Bobby will move on.

Back to St. Deception, Madre gives Mili the picture of Rosario. Mili is tearful she clutches the photo. In comes Padre and Granny. Mili says it is a photo of her mother. Granny holds her hand out. Padre, Madre and all the angels in heaven let out a huge gasp.
As if…in a television ploy, Mili just shakes her head and runs out of the room. You know in real life you would show the picture cause you’d be so proud that at last you have some proof you actually had a mother.

Mili is in the church, showing the picture to the Virgin, she has one of her out loud conversations. Mili says her mother looked healthy & no she doesn’t blame heaven for taking her. So on and so forth. She hides the picture under the alter cloth. What is up with that? Can this kid hang on to anything? You have one picture of your Mother and you leave it there?

She goes outside to talk with Al. Al says lets go talk.

They end up at the soccer field and Al wants to play a game, like finger soccer and if you score a goal you get to ask the other person a question. So Al scores, big surpise and asks Mili if he wants to know what Hugo said about her? Sure, well the big competition was between them, and Hugo was just paying Al back. Mili is appalled, which I personally believe as this gives her a good out from the loving arms of Hugo as Hugo is okay, when Al is being a RatBastard, but that is as far as it goes.

Hugo hooks up with Andrea, she is all confidant cause she got the ring. Not so fast, little missy, Al is off with Mili again and you are about to be kicked to the curb. Apparently the time spent in the wheelchair taught Hugo little about tact or the feelings of others. Time for the dynamic “B” to join forces.

We see the want to be gangsta boys that stabbed Al the night before. They are wondering if Al died. The one kid says he is gonna change his life, no more robbing people. The other kid asks if he has the medallion. Of course, it good luck, it has three letters, the first is for the lil criminals first name, the second is for his last name and the third it the letter from his Gangsta Jefe’s name. Sounds like a winner to me.

Now speaking of people with not much going on, we see Eugenio’s wife, Bobby’s Ma sitting in the airport. She is holding a ticket and thinking about Consti’s words of encouragement, “Get thee to Rome, woman, or you will end up old, twisted and alone”. We see her pull her sad little roller bag as she goes to her plane.

Now Mili wins a goal…she asks Al why after the wonderful night they spent, dinner, the dress, him telling everyone that he loved her, why oh why for the love of gawd, did you jump back in the sack with Andrea.
Al swears he didn’t and Mili being young and in love, believes him. Okay Okay, I know Al didn’t sleep with her, but maybe you get one of these in life, from now on if anyone tells you line, run….

Gardener Guy, Horacio is clipping away, Karla’s mom comes up and asks him to come and eat. He can’t, he has a lot on his mind. Finally he tells her that he has a daughter. He found out after he ran into the kids Ma. Karla’s Mom like all good semi girlfriends treads delicately. Well, do you have feelings for her. No, not at all. She was all about the money. He just wants to find his kid. (Like lil Miss Kitchen help isn’t his kid), what are the odds, Mexico City and two fathers stumble across their long lost daughters in the same house at the same time. Einstein, had an easier time with the “Theory of General Relativity” than he would have had laying the odds on our scenario. She can’t resist asking who is the mother? Why the Novia of Evil Damien. Karla’s Ma is muy impacted, will the madness never end.

Good Golly, the kids are back together, they hug, they kiss and Al doesn’t even try to cop a feel. This boy is in love. Al is gonna go straight home and tell Andrea that he doesn’t love her, was only using her to get over Mili, and don’t quit her job.

By this time Grammy is aware that Mili perhaps stretched the truth about St. Deception’s team of lil Liars. Mili comes in and tries to make something up about it being vacation time and she forgot. See she would be an awesome coach for the “The Big Devious” tournament to be held in Rome in the Spring. Chunky Nun comes in with the photo she found under the Altar Cloth, Padre snatches it away and hides it in his pocket.

Speaking of Rome, we see Luci with Gloves, staring at a good 3,000 outfits on the bed. She doesn’t need all those clothes. Yeah honey, run off with a backpack cause you and Eugenio are going to hitch thru Europe & be the oldest kids in the youth hostel. Gloves talks about how hard it will be on a politician to have a divorce. Luci wants to throw caution to the wind, she could care less, you only live once.
Damien comes in to lay some guilt on Luci, Luci so doesn’t want to hear it. She doesn’t care what happens to Consti, she is going to gather her rosebuds, what is left of them while she may.
Seriously, is this a cry for help? She has been talking about this for eons. Like, don’t try to stop me..I’m really going this time.

Damien goes downstairs for a little Soprano sitdown with Consti. Well it looks like Luci, is going.
Damien tells him, you have to look respectable No Amantes, you have to support your wife, be at her side. Consti, is like well, I guess that will be tough as she will be hanging out in the ruins of Rome. Damien continues, nothing sells like sickness. People would give you the vote, if she was sick and they felt sorry for you. Alas, says Consti, while she is a drunk, she is in pretty good health. Hmmmm, well what if she was Loca? Asks Damien, not just a quirky drunk but full fledged BSC?
--Somewhere an alarm bell rang in Hell, cause Damien just sold his soul.—
Kind of like when a bell rings an angel gets its wings
Crazy, hey that could work. Consti is all shades of game about this.

Meanwhile, Al is in Andrea’s room yelling, Come out here, I want to talk to you. Don’t hide in the bathroom. He goes in the bathroom…..
Egads, Andrea is sprawled on the floor, pills are on the floor next to her.

We go to commercial break, three minutes of incredible tension, Oh Andrea we barely knew ye.

We come back to a screamfest, Consti is screaming at Al, Luci is screaming at Consti, Hugo of the two good legs, counters that Andrea knew Al was messing around with Mili again. Luci is screaming at Al, that whole servant sex thing. Granny pops in with a STFU and quit talking about Mili like she is subhuman. Al runs upstairs to talk to the doctor. Meanwhile, the crowd of chimps downstairs sees a bright and shiny object and move on to other diversions. Damien, tries to talk to Hugo, will you not just get over the whole thing and forgive me. Never, Hugo snarls back.

The doctor tells Al, that this was very dangerous and while Andrea will be all right, she is depressed and needs a little tender loving care. If only Padre would have made them do a few rosaries, the
Andrea problem may have solved itself.

Andrea tells Al that they just became engaged last night and he had his eye on Mili the whole time. Andrea just can’t deal with it. Al tries to reason with her. She doesn’t want to hear it. She wants to be alone. As soon as he walks out she starts laughing.

The help are all gathered in the kitchen, Karla blames Mili for Andrea trying to whack herself. Mili stole her boyfriend. Mili runs outside and she is having another heavenly conversation. Here come Hugo and he tries to comfort her. Mili pulls away and accuses him of lying to her. He tells Mill, “You saw Andrea in Al’s room”.

----------Stay tuned cause tomorrow it looks like the plan to drive Luci BSC, is going to start off with a bang
She is screaming about a Tarantula in her bed and Damien keeps saying he doesn’t see anything------
Also Damien works his magic on Hugo, he says something about the night his mother and girlfriend died that Al was kissing Hugo’s Novia.

I predict by the end of this, the family will need entire wing at "Mental Acres"
Clang Clang Clang….Satan is calling--------

Oh my, it's come to this...as I'm watching the show Tuesday night, I'm already wondering what your take on it will be. You never disappoint, Beckster, thanks for being the biggest laugh of my morning...and probably my day!
 

I can't bear to watch this one but I had to tune in to see if you were up to your old tricks, Beckster, I miss you! HAH!
 

Thanks for the recap, you had me ROTFL.....

Damien is most definately after the family money why else would he have the talk with Andrea. Lol this is a fully time job for him. I know they are supposedly in a very grande crib but the idea of having inlaws like Damien his wife, Hugo's fiancee way too creepy.
 

Beckster: Masterful as usual.

You know, Andrea looks older every time I see her. She want to marry Al? That woman ought to be arranging an adoption!

Yes, this one is hard to watch, but it fits my time schedule. Is it supposed to be funny, sad, heart-wrenching? Who knows? It's just a big tease each night.

From lower Ala
 

Wow, I hope we get to see some in-house mental health treatment, because then we can use my favorite telenovela word: manicomio!
 

Maybe they can just go from "Mansion la Soledad" to "Manicomio la Soledad"...most of them are partway there already!
 

You really topped yourself on this one, Beckster! The cosmic cracker jacks, St. Deceptions, the chimps.. what a complete hoot!

Things happened so quickly after Andrea was found on the floor, it almost seemed like some scenes might have been cut.

For those who find this a little difficult to watch: I’m sticking with my theory that this show is aimed at teens which would account for its lack of heft. The Alex/Mili relationship with its little dramas and quick resolutions plays like a teen dream. The understanding granny with her indulgent smiles, the snotty jealous girl with her transparent plotting, etc.- all teen stuff. My teen years are very far in my rearview mirror, but I think this show is doing well for its genre and the actors are doing a good job. Of course, there are some lessons in here that make me cringe. Such as if you are good and true of heart, the rich guys won’t use you. And threatening suicide is the way to hang on to a man. And it’s okay if guys grab you and try to kiss you against your will. Things like that.

Another teaser! You just knew Mili was going to find some way NOT to show abeula the photo of Rosario!

I remarked once before on the age of actress playing Mili, she is just 15. I'm sure I'm not the only one who has noticed that she is still carrying her baby fat! That's why she always wears the baggies and long dresses or socks.

Here Al has this fully formed, 100% mujer Andrea, throwing herself at him, and we are supposed to believe he prefers this prepubescent, clueless girl/boy.

In real life one might wonder if Al has latent homosexual tendencies and really wants Mili to be Carlitos!
 

Riberajoe – So I’m not the only one wondering what this actress is going to look like 10 years down the road! When she’s smooching with Alex, it’s uncomfortable to watch. Not that he looks old by any means, but he looks so much older than her with the tiny crinkles at the corners of his eyes and her with her smooth skin and very slightly pudgy face. Baby fat, as you say. Andrea may be mean and evil, but at least she’s in full bloom. - Maggie
 

My long original post got lost so I'll cut to the chase. That stolen medallion is going to come back to haunt us all I'm pretty sure. That punk is wearing it and surely someone will see it and figure he is the heir. Mili should have shown it to Regina but Socorro and Lena must have looked at it when they got the chain fixed and why they missed the initials on it is beyond me. Then again the crowd at Tt. Deception all know that it belongs to mili and how she got it.

The bad editing on this show does look like the kind of hatchet job Univision does on its daytime shows. Al finds Andrea and boom a family snit fest goes on. We never got the obligatory scream for help and no one calling 911 or a doctor LOL.

The scenes between Mili and Al don't bother me as much now as they did in the beginning. He is playing it much younger than his age and his scenes with Andrea annoy me because she looks way too old for him.
 

When Mili has make up on she does look a few years older and i think her transformation will take time after all we have many episodes left.
 

Mili’s hair is beyond black. Anybody else think it’s dyed? - Maggie
 

I think Alex looks much older than actress's real age of 15, but I think they really are playing it for for teens also--so they won't have any real sex with Mili.

But there is bad editing or writing--too many coincidence-filled interruptions of an important revelation.

Still, I like Mili and Granny, and Connie, for that matter, so I'll keep watching.
