Guapos 03-25-2008 "If you can't be with the one you love...Honey"

Well we figuratively see get to watch Mili cut off her nose to spite her face. The episode starts with Hugo making the announcement that he & lil Mili are an item. This leads to shocked expressions all round.

Luci is staring off in space as Consti is yapping on the phone. Luci looks like she and her best beau Jack Daniels, had a rough night. Consti is on his way out.

Consti hooks up with Andrea, he will give her no help, other than to return the apartment, car and I suppose a running tab at Victoria Secrets. Andrea looks like she just found a fake nail at the bottom of her drink, a fake nail in a shade she doesn’t own. Oh no, poor Andrea of the much discussed womb, has been cast into a golden cage, but a cage still in all. Consti, doctor shopping and having a tremendous supply of Viagra, plans to vote early and often. I’m not really following why she looks so unhappy with the situation, it’s not like she hasn’t driven down this road before, she literally knows every bump.

Meanwhile, back at the hacienda for a reason that escapes me, the servants have all gathered about the table and are playing the rich folks. Gloves is Hugo, Lina is Regina, Gloria is Val, Rocky is Consti, Socorrito is Luci, & Horacio is her brother Damien. Mili plays Mili, actually it is kinda funny. Socorrito does a good drunken Luci and Horacio does a most excellent sniveling cunado to Rocky’s Consti. Gloria is awesome as snotty Val & Mili holds her own and acts above it all. –See this is why as incredibly wealthy as I am, I don’t have servants, they will stab you in the back, I prefer to just buy slaves, same difference, but no messy rights.

Rocky gets a shot at the Taco Naco business over at the main bar and dance emporium Rodeo.

Al’s old girlfriend Pilar (Bwahhhaaa she was Karen in de Mundo) comes to visit Al to see what she can do about becoming his old new girlfriend. Al answers his door and old new chick comes in. Al is wearing only his towel slung on his hips. Personally I’m not feeling it, but for those of you who do…enjoy.
Pilar starts talking to him about his much crumpled heart. No, not Andrea, but someone else. Someone who made him feel as never before, so in love, so passionate. NOTE: to oldnew girlfriend, seriously no dude that was into you in the slightest would tell you that drivel, he tells his Granny that nonsense, are you feeling all romantic now?

Anyway, Mili who is lurking about, sees her come out of Al’s bedroom of broken dreams, lamenting and teeth gnashing. Mili hides around the corner, of course, we are destined for months of half-truths, innuendo & a failure to communicate. Mili looks like she is going to puke and wanders in circles, granted they are small circles and she finally reaches Hugo’s door right before she falls from exhaustion and is eaten alive by hyenas and vultures. Hugo seeing her crushed expression; inquires to her crestfalleness. “Are we Novios?” She is yelling loudly, she wants to shout it to the whole world or at least two doors down the hall to Al’s room. Hugo looking like he has just been told that he is on Prom Court grabs for her hand with glee.

Consti is getting dressed at Andrea’s. He is all grins and she looks like she has just been just been told that not only does she have head lice, egads they have spread. Consti continues to talk in that patronizing way. She asks if Luci will wonder where Consti spent the night. Frankly my dear Consti doesn’t give a damn.
He tells her he’ll be back and she better behave.

He leaves. Andrea calls some friend who works for a newspaper, she is gonna give them the big scoop on Consti’s business.

Val is talking to Pilar, who is trying to get the low down on Al’s great love. Val says it was nothing. Consti comes home. Andrea’s apartment must be in the toolshed. Meanwhile, Regina comes in and OldNewGirlfriend Pilar gets up and skips across the floor, reminding me of Heidi of the Alps. She is soooooooo happy to see Granny. Granny says she is looking for Mili. Val says Mili is serving them coffee. Mili comes in carrying the coffee and Hugo says he has an important announcement. Mili will no longer be serving the family as he and she will soon be joined in wedded bliss. Jaws drop all round.
Snotty Spice of course has to say that Mili is just after the money. Yeh, so unlike the married guy that Snotty almost married, he was only interested in her sweet pure personality. A cat fight breaks out with Consti in the middle yelling at both girls. Mili tries to force people to congratulate them. Damien says he will talk to his son. Luci appears to be scanning the room for a hidden bottle. Granny wants to talk to Mili. Hugo appears to be the only happy person in the room. Mili really tries to force Al to congratulate her. He just runs upstairs to change his clothes and go with OldNewGirlfriend.

Granny says she can’t support Mili’s decision to marry Hugo. She doesn’t love him. Mili says she loved that RatBastard Al, first it was Andrea, then not five seconds later…he was semi-nude with Pilar, locking lips. Granny has that well, boys will be boys look. So I guess Mili has decided it is better to marry crazy Hugo rather than wait til like her 19th birthday. My advice to Mili is, honey life is a banquet, so the Taco Asada gave you heartburn, there are plenty more items on the menu, no reason to settle for the Poco Loco Omelet.

Andrea, the BSC calls Hugo and says she has to see him. Hugo goes. ---See I was right, this girl does totally live in the past and not just her wardrobe choices, she wants Al back and thinks it will be no problemo. Hugo says Al will never take Andrea back. She thinks it is cause of Mili. Well no, not so much it is cause you are a crazy pretend baby killing psycho. Andrea says if he doesn’t help her she will say he was in on the deception. Yeah let’s see it was Hugo, Damien, Doctor buddy, Consti and maybe Luci, but she was too drunk to remember.

Damien tells Hugo, he is happy for him and he thinks Mili is great. He is glad Hugo has some new obsession.

Rocky goes around giving invites to the whole staff, to come to Taco Naco’s tonite. Great everyone is going, well not Snotty. The girls (Gloria, Lina and Mili) are sitting out on the lawn talking about going to Rocky’s big night. Of course the conversation turns to guys, but Mili does not want to talk about Hugo.

Pilar comes up and wants to talk to Mili. They walk and talk, I think Pilar is playing Mili, she talks about how in love she was with Al, he was her first. She wants to continue with him.
---Oh my gawd this was such a deja vu moment for me. I fondly recall walking with the staff on Martha’s Vineyard while regaling them with my first time story’s about the rich and powerful frat boys playing football on the front lawn---Well I didn’t specify which first time. Anyway, I know the servants were quite enamoured with my “Kickin it with the help” attitude.
Anyhow, Mili invites Pilar to the TacoNaco fest.

Mili tells Granny about the Taco fest. Granny tells Gloves they are going out.

Miss Perky Britches cons Al into going to the TacoNaco fest. Do it for your Prima. My Prima? Well she is marrying your Primo.

Now over at the Rodeo. Rocky has an eatery set up back behind the dance floor. Gloria, Lina & Grocery delivery boy, Hugo & Mili, Horacio & Socorrito. We go through some father, keep you hands off my baby between Horacio & grocery boy. Al & Pilar come in and he is all huggy with her. He and Mili fire barbs at each other. All retreat to the dance floor.

Mili is dancing all kinda flirty with Hugo putting her cowboy hat on his head and so on. Of course all is dancing with Pilar (Al & Mili) watch each other. Granny is sitting with Gloves, who is wearing his bow-tie and gloves (Que the Hell?). Gloves comes up and tells Mili & Hugo, that Granny says Tacos for everyone.

The whole group is in the back and Rocky makes a heartfelt speech about how they are his family and they are their to share in his success. He chokes up. Maybe I would have too, but I didn’t really pay much attention. You go guy.

Next day….Damien and Consti are pacing the floor there is some big newspaper story about how the business is in trouble. Consti is not happy.

There will be a family dinner tonight for Hugo and Mili, oh good times good times. Mili goes into Hugo’s room, Al creeping around in the hall, see her and stands outside the door. Mili is nervous, but Hugo says be cool, he will be right by her side. They kiss, Al comes in and does the clap, you know the one that people do when they are they only one clapping and they do it real slow. Hugo appearing to be the sane one says, What are you doing? He congratulates Hugo, much happiness primo. He offers Mili congrats too and sweeps in for a kiss, not a full fledged tongue hockey kiss, more of a hit or miss off the side of her mouth. She es muy impacto and not in a good way. She slaps him and Hugo grabs him. Al turns to walk away and then says, you got quite a deal, she is really good in bed. Mili screams and runs at the door, but Al is already gone. Hugo hugs her.

I would have forgiven a lot with this show, if they would have only shown Al doing the stiff leg five-year old pout walk down the hall. I have suffered through good looking guys crying over bad dressing angel dating ugly girls, I have suffered through forty year old virgins with equipment problems, I have suffered through pretty boys looking for a new husband for his beloved wife while the pretty boy suffers silently from leukemia, but damn Al you are a bit of a spoiled prick. I mean if Al did it cause he was evil, well okay, but he does it and he is so clueless of his pretentious golden boyness. No other guy on this show can even get any action, except Consti & Damien and face it, they have to pay for it. Al is a bi-hemisphere galan, he has women in Mexico and now the oldie, but you were my first and I swear only shows up from Europe, cause yeah there are no hot guys in Europe.

Now the family from hell are seated in the living room. Val makes some nasty little speech to Hugo about how she is so freakin happy he is marrying a Naca. Luci tries to make amends, but soon veers into if you want my honest opinion. Consti interrupts and plays it off. The rich and famous are now getting distracted and wonder what is the hold up. It is Al, who is in time out in his room. He is sitting on his bed remembering the day he and Mili had the fake marriage at the Church Festival. How could things go so wrong. Well if you would keep your various appendages to yourself. ….Anyway Granny comes in and tells Al, he has to suck it up OR stop the worst lie since “Weapons of Mass Destruction” and stop this nonsense. Mili can’t marry a man she doesn’t love………………………………………………

The End…
OMG we are left to wonder….Will Mili marry Hugo? If Hugo does and paints a full nude of Mili, won’t Damiens and Hugo’s conversations become even more vague and awkward as Damien stares at the painting? Fearing a repeat of history, will Luci take to hiding the bottles, knowing it is only a matter of time before Mili starts drinking her way through a loveless marriage? Luci may share Consti, but she sure the hell ain’t sharing the booze.

By the by…Consti is having a conversation with dead Rosario at the grave tomorrow night, choking back tears or maybe his eyes are watering from a reaction to whatever massage oil he forced Andrea to use on him, he is telling Mili’s Ma that she is sweet and beautiful. Mili runs up demanding to know what he is doing at her mother’s grave.

Also I must add here that soon a new one is starting…I keep seeing the commercial for the Tres Mariachis,
Just my name for them. But Rod from Destilando, and he is screaming….Hee good times good times.

Beckster, I don't watch this show but miss your fun recaps and comments something awful and your famous lyrics as titles are always such fun, I hope we end up liking the same telenovela again sometime soon.
So meantime, I'm off to love the one I'm with. That would be the princess, Willa, yes she hugs and comforts and loves to get cozy. She only kicks when she is dreaming of chasing critters and she doesn't use the blankets so doesn't steal them.
 

Hi, Beckster, I still cannot get into Guapos, but I love the promos for Fuego en la Sangre. It has an interesting cast : Rodrigoooo [Eduardo Yanez], Emiliooo from Duelo de Pasiones [Pablo Montero], Matilde from Amor Real [Adela Noriego], Mariana from Alborada. , and Nasty Bertha from Heridas de Amor. Dudes in sombreros on horses. Rodrigooo on a big, black stallion. Three dudes/three sisters [?] I don't want Pasion to end , but Fuego looks interesting.
 

Beckster: Without looking at your sign off or remembering who was doing the Tuesday recap, I knew it had to be you because of your unique writing style and unusual vision of what really happened in the story. Hilarious reading!

Love to look at Al in his towel, but hate to watch the stupid things he does. Oh, well!

From lower Ala
 

LOVE the recap! You made me laugh out loud. I could be wrong, but I think the servants are doing a practice run for Milly's engagement dinner. At least that's what I thought when Gloria insulted her and Milly responded intelligently instead of pulling her hair and calling her a panaluda.

I'm really not liking Pilar... I hope she goes back to Spain soon.
 

Hilarious recap!

I could be wrong, but I think the servants are gathered around the table as a practice run for Mili. At least that's what I was thinking when Vale (played by Gloria) insults her and Mili responds intelligently instead of pulling her hair and/or calling her a panaluda. Tonight's dinner should be muy interesante!
 

Ooohh… I missed this one. Who knew the line the electrician was working on for our bathroom remodel also served the VCR? I found out it was blanked out late last night – darn.

But here is a another hilarious Beckster recap to bring me up to speed! Thank you so much!
 

Al has got to be the most annoying galan I've ever seen and that is saying something. He is a totally self absorbed pr**k as far as I'm concerned. His failing to apologize to Mili for the terrible things he said, sucking face with porky Pilar and then that last shot about her being good in bed was way over the top. I hope he suffers through the rest of this novela which means months more of him wallowing in self pity and bedding anything handy. He is SO Luci's spawn.

Mili is really immature and over reacts to everything but I am cutting her a little slack because she is so young and in a lot of ways has been over protected in the orphanage. I do wish she would have enough self control not to play the tit for tat game using the unstable Hugo. I did love Connie trying to break up the cat fight between his daughters.

What was with Pilar trying to be buddies with Mili? I don't think she knows Mili is Al's true love but figures she might be able to use her to spy on him. In any event the sooner she takes her ugly self back to Espana the better. I simply can not stand this actress.

Those previews of Connie at the grave site look really interesting if he is talking to Rosario about their daughter. He is going to have to think fast on his feet to come up with an answer for Mili. I was somewhat disappointed that he took the engagement announcement so calmly. You'd think he would want to keep his daughter away from anyone in Luic's family. Granted his hands are tied at the moment but I wonder if he will find a way to break them up.

I think those previews for Fuego look awful. There are some excellent actors in the cast but what we've seen so far is definitely not getting me revved up to watch it.
 

The one thing I like about Guapos is how its a reunion of Codigo Postal cast. I thought the scene with the staff pretending to be Valeria & the others was really hilarious, especially when Braulio did that thing with his lips to immitate Hugo. Fuego en la Sangre is one of the most popular shows in Mexico right now. If any of you watch Hoy, they show clips from the show everyday. Those clips have got me interested in the show. I am looking forward to Pasion ending and Fuego en la Sangre taking its place.
 

Thanks so much for the recap! I miss this show completely on Tuesdays because of my ceramics class.

Of course I missed Alejandro & his towel... dang. I'm assuming the curls were out in full force... he seems fairly dedicated to the ponytail these days, at least when fully clothed.

I can't believe Alejandro said she was good in bed! Argh!!! The sad thing is, Pablo probably is thinking "yeah, I figured" instead of "how dare you insult the love of my life". Men. (Well, crazy Belmonte men, anyway.)
 

Anonymous, please tell us how you watch Hoy. Is that shown on any American channels? I thought it was shown on Mexican TV only. My friend's mother in El Paso watches the Mexican shows, 'cause she's on the border and gets Mexican channels there, but I don't know what we New Yorkers are supposed to do.
 

Ninak, in Illinois Hoy comes on channel 271 around 9 in the morning. Its the same channel that Amigas Y Rivales comes on, if you watch that show.
 

Thanks, I'll check it out! I didn't realize it was on American cable. I think it's Galavision.
 

NinaK, it is Galavision. I hope you find it!
