Fuego en la Sangre 05/05/08: Heroes On Horseback and Rodeo Day Regrets
[For the next month Julie and I will be switching and doing a few double-duty weekends off and on. Sorry for any resulting confusion. –Ed.]
So we begin as evening falls. Gabriela and Father Tadeo have tea while discussing the next day’s rodeo. All the surrounding ranches will have riders there competing for a cash prize. Tadeo asks who’ll be representing their hacienda but Gabbi doesn’t seem to have thought about that.
Juan, still scruffy, sweaty, and covered with enough mud to make even Pig-Pen blush is visiting Libia’s grave. He still thinks of her as his baby sister and he’s brought her a toy burro that he shakes like a rattle for her. A single yellow flower is beginning to bloom on the thorn bush they planted on her grave and fertilized with their blood. (Nice touch, though a bit gruesome when you think about it.) He weeps as he tells her that even though time has passed none of her brothers can forget her and they miss her more and more. He swears to her again that they will avenge her death.
At the hacienda Eva and Grampa Augie are talking in his bedroom. He accuses her of knowing more about the new bricklayers building that cottage than she lets on. Gramps says he saw her giving those plans to Juan and wants to know why she is protecting them and just who they really are. Eva stutters out some excuse about having something else to do and races out of the room. Old Augie is left yelling in his wheelchair for her to come back and tell him.
We beam back to town and we’re back in the “boys’” squalid little bedroom getting to gawk at Franco in his bulging skivvies. Oscar is sprawled out on his bed. (At this point, I’d say Oscar’s only saving grace is that he’s the one brother who apparently knows what to do with a razor.) He looks over at Juan who’s ruminating again. “Why so pensive, bro?” Juan says he’s been tying up loose ends and adding up the facts. He thinks he’s found a way to carry through their oath of revenge. He’s been thinking back to Augie mentioning that what Bernardo loved most was his daughters and says they will be the target of their revenge.
Franco doesn’t quite get it. Oscar explains to him that Juan is thinking of making Bernardo’s daughters fall in love with them, then playing them along and abandoning them afterward. Juan says they’ll devastate them just like Elizondo did to their sister. Franco objects. “He loved our sister!” Juan argues with him. “That’s what that Eva woman says, but we don’t know that! Besides the old guy lied to her and didn’t tell her he was married. That’s our plan. We’ll pay the old man back in the same way. We’ll seduce them, win their hearts, and then chuck them out like they are…..” Juan doesn’t finish the sentence (but you can fill in the blank). “Yes, that’s what we’re going to do.”
Back at the hacienda that night Gramps is merrily singing to himself and playing dress-up with a vaquero bow-tie. Crabiela flies in on her broomstick to see what all the commotion is about. Augie excitedly tells her he’s laying out his traditional gaucho garb (charro) so he can show off in front of the girls at the rodeo tomorrow. Crabiela whooshes around on that broom and grabs the shirt and tie away from him. She tells him he’s not going anywhere. (Gabriela’s inner b!tch is in her element and this potboiler is now cooking with propane!) Poor old Augie deflates. “You can’t do this to me! Why can’t I go? What’s so bad about it?” He complains that he never gets to go out anywhere. (What a tug at the heart-strings.)
Crabiela yells back at Augie that it’s because he doesn’t know how to behave himself and he’s always doing something embarrassing in public. She says she thinks he’s putting on this crazy act just to annoy her. It’s mostly though, she says, because of him taking her daughters down to meet those bricklayers. “My daughters have no reason to socialize with those bricklayers, much less with them being servants! They’re a different class and brought up differently.” Augie objects and says her daughters are grown decent girls. He warns her that if she continues to treat them this way they’ll end up running off with the first man that suggests it. Gabbi is adamant that that will never happen since she is going to be in charge of finding them a proper husband. Augie scoffs and says yeah, just like the one she chose for Sofia. Gabbi instantly sticks up for that south-end-of-a-northbound-horse son-in-law of hers.
Augie, who likely still has most of his wits about him, lays the hard…bottomed truth on her. “She doesn’t love him! For Gawd’s sake, you bought Sofia’s husband to cover up her disgrace. Like always, the only thing that worries you is keeping up appearances.” Augie pleads for her to let the other two girls choose their own husbands and be happy, but she says she knows what’s best for them. Augie sneers and says Gabbi never knew what was best even for herself. She didn’t know how to keep her husband and so he went looking for another woman to find what she wouldn’t give him. (Good one, Pops!) Gabbi accuses him of taking pleasure in hurting her. He insists she’s mistaken, that he’s only trying to take the blinders off her. “Because you were so unhappy shouldn’t mean you should be so persistent as to make them miserable too!” Gabbi doesn’t want to hear any more and says she is not letting him corrupt her daughters with his evil tricks and then locks him inside his bedroom. He screams for her not to lock in him like that. (Class, can you say “parental abuse”?)
The scene shifts to Sarita and Jimena’s bedroom. Sarita can’t stop thinking about her first encounter with Franco. Jimena comes in and is definitely in hormone heaven. She says she wants to talk about those bricklayers again, but Sarita balks at that says she’s got no interest in discussing them. Jimena accuses her of having a crush on Franco. Sarita denies is and says she hardly even got a good look at him. Jimena asks who’s she kidding, and tells her to imagine what it would feel like to have one of them hold them tightly in their strong arms. Sarita covers her ears at all the “naughty” speculation but deep down is just as curious as Jimena.
Back in the Reye’s brothers’ itty-bitty bedroom Franco wonders what that cottage is to be used for and by whom. Juan says he doesn’t know and doesn’t care. All of a sudden we’re face to face with the aforementioned “who”, that being Fernando now looking smugly around Sofia’s bedroom while she turns down her covers and gets ready for bed. He gets his digs in by telling her he can’t wait for the cottage to be completed; that it’s going to be their little lo-o-o-ve nest. Sofia with the perfect pained expression says there’s no way she’s going to live there with him and blurts out that she wants a divorce. Feo emphatically answers “Never!” No! They’re going to be together for the rest of their lives, a fate worse than death for Sofia. He paws at her face. “So you better learn to love me.” She yells at him in frustration that “Love is felt, not learned!” “--Well you’re going to be mine with or without it.”
Back at the Reyes’ again Franco is now dressed and going to the cantina. Juan tells him to be careful since girls like that singer usually have an “owner”. Franco says she’s only working there as a singer, just trying to make a living and should be respected for it. Juan tells him to be careful anyway. Oscar goes out right after and says he’ll be late.
==================
That night in bed Sofia finds it difficult to get to sleep because all she can think about it Juan’s big smile. Juan is exhausted from all that planning of his. They both are restless and end up looking up at the moon on a split screen simultaneously. (Well, it worked in Desti.)
Meanwhile Oscar goes to visit Libia’s grave and lays a little boy’s sombrero that was to have been her little boy’s. He blames himself for never taking as good care of her as he should have. He feels he should be the one lying dead in that grave and not her. He falls face down onto her grave and cries.
Over at the cantina Franco is watching Rosario’s act. Once it’s over Armando and his goons grab Franco. Armando tells him he warned him not to come around there again, but Franco says it’s a business and he’s a customer. Franco admits he’s there because he is in love with her but insists they aren’t going to separate the two of them. Armando laughs and says he’s in charge of throwing out the rubbish and the butch women (meaning Franco). Armando’s goon squad drags him outside. Inside her dressing room Rosario tells Ofelia she’s worried about Franco after the look she saw on Armando’s face tonight. Ofelia asks her if she’s in love with him but Rosario says with a look at her child’s picture that she cannot fall in love with him, nor anybody, and she shouldn’t!! Ofelia will have to keep him from coming to see her.
Outside the cantina, Armando and the boys throw Franco down onto a hay bale. Armando warns him that next time there won’t be any warning; he will be a dead man. He aims his gun and shoots it off to the side just to emphasize the seriousness of his threat. The goons snicker and yuk it up with Armando and walk off. Franco swears to himself that nothing and nobody is going to separate him from Rosario.
The next morning Oscar, Juan and Franco are at work at the hacienda. Oscar teases Franco about being in love with Rosario. Juan reminds them that no one is allowed to fall in love. The only women that should interest them right now are Bernardo’s daughters because they are the way they plan to get even with Bernardo.
Inside the hacienda Sofia, Jimena and Sarita are ready for the fiesta and identically dressed in red and white traditional costumes that make them look like iced gingerbread cookies. Big Momma comes down the staircase to make an entrance and reminds them they are to stick to her like Elmer’s. Jimena and Sarita tell Momma that there are numerous guests and they cannot be rude; they’ll have to meet and greet them like proper hostesses. Gabbi says fine, just keep in sight. Angelic Sofia is excited and pipes up that the charity event will probably raise twice the cash as last year’s did.
Just then Juan barges in and says he’s needing cash for more materials. Gabbi tells him in no uncertain terms he and the others are not allowed to enter her home again, especially unless authorized to do so. She has him follow her into her office. Juan gets off a quick smile to Sofia and she can’t help but smile back at him. Outside Franco and Oscar ask one of the ranch hands what the hubbub is all about. He tells him that there’s a huge party which all the ranchers around have come for and a rodeo with a cash prize.
Juan gets back and tells his brothers that the old biddy got angry because no men are allowed to enter the house it seems. Oscar tells him about the rodeo and asks if he’s interested in riding in it. They watch a couple of the Elizondo girls walking then notice Fernando there talking to the guests. They wonder who he really is since he’s so close to the widow and seems to have a lot of authority. Oscar thinks he’s maybe a nephew or something.
Padre Tadeo comes over to see what the Reyes brothers are doing there and they explain they’re the bricklayers for the cottage. Tadeo warms to them immediately and says he’s aware of the project. He wonders, of course, why he’s never seen them in Church and Juan answers there’s no time for that sort of thing. Tadeo replies there is always time for God. He asks why they aren’t inside at the horse show and they snicker like who’s going to let them go to a big shindig like that. Tadeo says it’s for everyone and gives them red armbands that will allow them to come in and participate as designated members of the Hacienda San Augustin. Once Tadeo leaves Juan says if they hurry and get some of their work done they’ll still have time to get in on the festivities.
Before the rodeo begins, there’s entertainment and Rosario, all basketball bulges and boas, sings for the crowd. She gets off to a good start but freezes when she sees nasty ol’ Nando sitting up in the stands though she eventually gets over the initial shock and finishes her song. Nando sees it’s her and is angry with Armando for bringing her to the hacienda to perform, but Armando says he didn’t hire her for it and didn’t know the first thing about it.
Outside Oscar returns and tells Juan he’s heard that old Don Augustin has been locked in his room by the nasty Elizondo widow and won’t be allowed to come down for the festivities. They both feel it’s unfair. They go around to his window and throw pebbles up at the balcony and try to think of a way to get him down since they aren’t allowed inside. Augie is fully dressed and hoping for a miracle. He begs them to let him out. While Rosario entertains the crowd Juan climbs up the balcony with a rope and they lower Augie down in his wheelchair. Augie is elated.
Meanwhile, Rosario’s set is finished and she’s introduced to the Elizondo’s. She is impactada to find out that Feo Nando is Sofia’s husband. Sofia kindly invites her to stay for the show but Rosario declines. Feo walks her out by way of the stables to slap her around first. Then he throws her out. He looks around and sees Bernardo’s horse tied up in the stall. Just for spite he goes into its stall and whips it mercilessly. (This guy definitely deserves to be put in one of the circles of Hell with a wild horse trampling him for all eternity.)
The rodeo festivities begin. Eventually two of the Reyes’ arrive, dressed in what passes for their best shirts and breeches, to see the rodeo. Oscar tips his sombrero at Jimena. Gramps has rolled himself to the center of the arena and begins to sing (horribly off-key we note). Sofia and Gabbi are shocked to see him there. Sofia seems to find the humor in it eventually, but Gabbi is ready to spit horseshoe nails. Sofia happens to glance over her shoulder during the commotion and sees Juan, who flirtatiously tips his sombrero at her. (Darn those sombreros are huge! Doesn’t it make ya wonder if the size of this particular accessory is a sort of macho implication about the size of the wearer's other male accessories?)
Meanwhile, outside the arena Rosario is racing to her car. Franco notices and runs after her trying to get her attention but she ignores him, or doesn’t see him. Ofelia arrives a couple seconds later behind her and warns off Franco for everyone’s sake. They drive off. He’s puzzled.
Back at the rodeo Gramps is literally tipping the bottle and continues to bellow and neigh his heart out till Padre Tadeo gets a couple of men to take him away. He makes a good save by introducing Sofia to the crowd. She gives her little welcome speech while Juan looks on completely mesmerized. Again she glances over at him and smiles. You could knock Juan over with a feather.
The competition begins. The announcer eventually comes to tell the crowd that so far nobody has been able to win the death pass competition. Franco arrives about then and nods to Sarita.
Armando starts looking for Fernando who is somewhere on the grounds of the hacienda with his poker pals, the ones he owes money. ‘Nando offers them double or nothing for the money he has brought to pay them and a game gets going.
A while later there is still no one who has won the death pass competition; so they’ve doubled the purse. Juan decides to try for it and Sofia is enthralled by his daring. Juan wins the competition. (Kudos to the stunt riders, by the way.) There are plenty of cheers. Mariachi music blares. Children come out into the arena to walk a victory lap with him. Someone comes out riding Bernardo’s horse. It frantically rears and then starts to trample one of the children. Juan lies down and covers the child with his body taking the blows from the horse’s hooves. The boy is saved but Juan is injured, so his brothers carry him off to the stable to rest. Against her mother’s objections Sofia races over to the stable to check on him while Tadeo blocks Gabbi’s tackle by telling her that as the hostess of the event it is Sofia’s duty to see about the rider.
Franco and Oscar leave Juan on a hay bale while they go for medicine to clean his head wound. Juan, starts to doze off. Sofia comes over. She is inexplicably drawn to him and dares herself to touch his face. As she pulls her hand back from his lips he suddenly wakes and grabs her arm, startling her. “You?” he says in disbelief. She explains she was worried for him after what the horse had done to him. He sits up, “Really?” She just stares into his eyes. He’s helpless and goes with the moment. He looks at her mouth and says, “Really? I interest you?” He leans in and they are about to kiss but the moment is lost when nasty ‘Nando comes in yelling for her from the other end of the stable.
When Fernando finds her with Juan, now standing up and tucking in his shirt, she explains to him that Juan was banged around and that she came to look in on him. Fernando feigns compassion and patronizingly says, “Well, but we have servants for this. Your duty is to remain next to me, next to your… husband.” Juan stops in his tracks, wide-eyed and sucker-punched impactado. Sofia looks over at Juan visibly ashamed of her earlier behavior. He looks back over at her and scowls.

Damn! These boys do it all! baking, bricklaying, trick rodeo rideing... Juan's saved an old guy and a kid from certain death. How are they going to top this?
I like Juan's pants with the leather inside the legs--good for riding but doesn't they chafe when he's walking around?
I agree, we got still more proof of FeoNando's evilness with his cruelty to an animal.
I'm probably showing my age but there is something about the music for this show that reminds me of the theme music for "the Prisoner" a cult 60s sort of fantasy/sci fi show that pops up ocasionally. It had this incongruously bouncy music that sounds similar to the Fuego music with a slightly more mexican flair.

Jardinera: Thanks - I missed some of the colloquialisms that you explained so well.
Anyway, Pablo Montero must have a clause in his contract that says, "If Pablo has to fall, he lands on a mattress or a bale of hay..." Nice work.
This is going to be a novela of inference by a look without words. Feo looks at Rosario, tips his chin up and wiggles his ears. OK, so maybe I'm the only person who saw his ears wiggle. Rosario looks at Feo and freezes from fright.
The girls look at the boys and boil over. The boys look at the girls and send the scent of lust through the air. Not a word need be spoken.
Juan looks at Sofia, Sofia looks at Juan. Yikes. Juan finds out Sofia is married to Feo and looks just awful.
Good morning from lower Ala

Good analogy, Pasofino!

Margaret, I remember that strange theme music from "The Prisoner", too. This show is only slightly better edited. Anyway, I kept thinking the rodeo music in the background was signalling the rodeo clowns not the calf-roping.....

p.s. --I'm unable to tag the post, so maybe Julie or one of the other of our recappers can do it this once? Thanks!
The tagging "glitch" yesterday was caused by putting commas between tags - evidently that creates a new tag called "Fuego," (as opposed to plain "Fuego") which doesn't link to anything. We're cool now!
I didn't notice any resemblance to the "Prisoner" theme music, but I'll pay more attention.
Kim P. did ask the other day if the bouncer (or whatever he is) at the nightclub was Lopez from LFMB - I'm not sure of the name but I think that's him. He looks ten times worse with the fake hair!!

Dios mio!! This tn is so cheesy! The split screen was a hoot! (They pulled it off much better in Distilando) If only Bernies gray horse was Mr. ED- what a tail he could tell about 'Nando! But what was with somebody(who? why?) riding said steed into the arena after the main event?! This tn has all the makings of a campy cult classic, if there is such a thing. The lone flower from a vine in a cave? The matching shirts the Reyes boys wear when they wear their shirts, the stare-downs between 'Nando and Bernie's horse, I could go on and on. I'm really enjoying it, tho. It's like a parody on itself...
Gingerbread cookies, Ay just hearing that word makes me want a cookie, I have a love for sweets and I once cleared a tub of gingerbead cookie decorations for the tree it might have been filled with over two dozen cookies it took me three days to eat them all.
I didnt get to get ahead this week online if fact i didnt finish this one online. But I saw enough along with Feo Nando The Nasty beat the horse. Did I ever meantion im against animal cruelty on film?
Well I am and I dont find funny when they kill,beat or put animals in horror movies (dogs mostly as I have seen). This is this first time on a spanish soap I have seen an animal take a beating and I was more upset then watching that guy loose his head on pasion (should I have said the P word? You'll all go back to with drawl,)
Another thing atleast they didnt ask who let gramps out! lol
Moveing on,
I learned alot watching the award show, It must have been the longest I sat threw, All that Spanish yacking can give me a headache sometimes but I was awaiting this award show I havent seen it in a while.
I loved watch the actors who played the Reys brothers sing,
At first I thought Pablo was only gonna sing I started laughing before he went on stage but then they all came out and started singing, the one who plays Juan isnt really a good singer, I was charmed by the one who played Oscar (he maded me stop laughing) and well Pablo wasnt that bad. Was it just me or was everyones voices tired out and the mics were crappy that night.
Great recap.

Did you all notice in Sunday night's award show that when Gramps was recognized his speech included a plea for people treat their elders in a more humane and loving way? I thought it was touching.

Calamity Cakes, you are so funny! Great way to start a day!
Finally we've seen some emotions from somebody other then Juan - the scene with Oscar on a grave was pretty good, but still no tears? Don't they have onion somewere around?
Also I found interesting that the big guy Juan doesn't cary materials for construction work, just his yonger brothers, I wonder why.
Pasofino, great comment on the PM contract - LOL!
The thing with the looks - not all actors can be too clear with them, still can't get the meanings of the looks of Franco - they are always the same. Juan - it's another story, EY is a good actor ( not better the FC though!).

Thanks for the funny recap! Well, I also hope that Feonando dies at the end by being trapped in the stables by the horses who then proceed to trample him to death!!!! What a creep he is!
This novela is dragging a bit, but maybe it'll get better......or not!

I don't think Franco Blanko was baked at the proper temperature before he came out of the oven (you should pardon the expression).

I agree, Becky T. - I think Feonando needs to be smushed by a horse.
However, I wouldn't mind if that same horse also tried to choke and drown him and hit him with a big stick first.

So, Julie, if we want to delicious tag a post for several shows, we should do it as
guapos destilando fuego pasion
etc.,
instead of
guapos, destilando, fuego, pasion
?
Thanking you in advance for your astute technical advice.

So what if it's a little cheesy! Better that than these heavy duty depressing real-life shows. If we want an escape, and I am guessing many of us DO, it's great to have a telenovela that takes us away from our every-day stresses. Watching 2 hunky guys and 3 beautiful women does a lot for the shallow soul. (not 3 because Pablo does absolutely nothing for me).
But, what is the story with Rosario and Feonando? Have I missed anything? Do we know anything more than than he has a total hold on her and that he took her kid away?

Calamity Cakes you are hilarious! Thanks so much. And I love your sombrero!!!
Grandpop did cliched phrases flushing out the character's history. Simple overused unimaginative excuses. That said, I would buy the theory of Gabbi's not knowing how to pick and or satisfy her husband but. BUT her husband selected a girl just exiting childhood. He was just like Gabbi, didn't know what to look for.
I think I see the handwriting on the script wall. Nando probably will die by horse trampling. Silly to show him beating on his preferred victim and sending her off before he finished his fit.
Mighty Joe Juan overplayed overwhelmed at Sophia's shorter than a minute opening games speech. I'm afraid this thing is taking me over-the-top of tolerance, already!
But I love the hats! I looked to spot other hats and as someone said before, they must be town team caps. Bring on more costumes. Nice red and white gingerbread dresses, riding pants with leather inside seams, ...something to admire while the acting noise droans on, please.

to: Anon 12:20- I meant "cheesy" as a compliment. That's one thing that I find especially attractive. Also attractive- Adela Noriega- there is just something about her...I read somewhere that she and Yanez had a fling a few years ago....gawd, I'm falling into a well...
Thanks for the recap!
After unfavorably comparing E. Yanez to Mario Cimarro (PDG) as Juan yesterday, I will now cease all comparisons and enjoy each version for "its ownself".
Maybe it was the wind, maybe it was the oak pollen, but I got kinda teary eyed when Oscar put the little sombrero on Libia's grave. Juan's histrionics put me off, but when ol' Oscar cried at the grave, well, I bought it. So sad - her death, that is.
Los Hermanos Reyes are really going to vengarse on Gabi.....her precious hijas falling for "those" guys! Delicious!
It's official - the AntiFernando must die. I was praying he wouldn't beat that poor horse, but he did and he must now die, trampelled by that horse, first in his nether regions, and then wherever. With assistance from BonBon shaker Rosario's tacones.
Juan is so going to fall into his own trap with Sofia - can't wait for his jealousy tantrums.
I liked this episode - the jaripeo, Granpa's escape, Juan saves the day, etc.
I'm in.

Los Hermanos Reyes are really going to vengarse on Gabi.....her precious hijas falling for "those" guys! Delicious!
It's official - the AntiFernando must die. I was praying he wouldn't beat that poor horse, but he did and he must now die, trampelled by that horse, first in his nether regions, and then wherever. With assistance from BonBon shaker Rosario's tacones.
Juan is so going to fall into his own trap with Sofia - can't wait for his jealousy tantrums.
I liked this episode - the jaripeo, Granpa's escape, Juan saves the day, etc.
I'm in.

Is that what jaripeo means?...rodeo? I couldn't find it in my dictionary, and I wasn't sure if it was some local custom or fiesta, even though it looked like an ordinary rodeo.
I agree this is a little cheesy, but I just love it! It does make me laugh a lot. Every time I see them together wearing their big hats I think of that goofy movie "3 Amigos". Especially on Sunday when they all sang together on the Awards show. I like all of these actors, and I think this show is going to be fun. I keep waiting for Juan to yell "Gaviota"...he seems to have the same mannerisms as in DA. It's cool how they keep an eye out for Gramps, too; and the villains are great!

Linda, here is the translation:
jaripeo - horse show.
I think a rodeo is similar to it, may be more on a "catching with lasso" side. Probably rodeo is a part of the jaripeo.

I found even better description:
"...A jaripeo is a form of rodeo held in small communities across the vast cowboy country of Northern Mexico. The singular event is usually bull riding with men, boys and occasionally even young women paying a small fee to take part. Jaripeos are usually held around festival days. Mata Ortíz and many other towns and villages will hold these events on November 20th, anniversary of the anniversary of the revolution begining in 1910 against the dictator Porifirio Diaz..."
So apparently it was of those events in our TN - didn't see the bulls though.

Yes Nina that is correct...

Thanks, Cakes~~~~Well, Mighty Joe Juan now knows that his Loveatfirstsight is married. Will that stop him? I think not. And Sofia looks very smitten by Juan [because he is juan big, goodlooking dude.] What is up with Furd and the horse??? Someone mentionned Mr. Ed...Did Furd see this sitcom and does he believe the horse might be able to talk and rat him out about killing Bernie??? Kudos to Rosario. I am amazed that she is able to walk upright ..let alone dance with those CFM shoes and the basketballs. Her outfits are always spectacularly tacky...another treat to behold. So...there's something for everyone in this grand pinata of a novela. ***Mad Buns Bess, still missing Ric and the pirates but trying to be brave and move on

Thanks for the recap Jardinera. Its been a week and Feo and Gabi seemed destined for terrible deaths based on how badly they treat people. My only concern is it may be a long and painful journey waiting for them to get their comeuppance.
I think while watching this novela we have to leave all the logic somewhere behind and not to make any connections to the common cense at all. There is no way to get the reasons for a lot of "actions" her. Especially the horse beating (here comes Mr.Ed). And who and why suddenly decided to take her for a ride? What the deal with the gambling buddies - they suddenly started the game and we don't even know the results.
I consider it's a very poor editing - a lot of not related episodes somehow are showing up. I hope the editor of this TN is a member of whatever he has to be a member of to get next year award on Premios 2009 - I bet this will be TN of the year with all awards going to the whoever is in it.

Thanks for the great recap, Calamity Cakes! Well, I've been watching some of Pasión de Gavilanes and think it's better. From what I've seen, the mother is a bit more sympathetic. And the girls do go out, one of them is engaged to a guy she doesn't love and with whom she goes out, and the main love interest, the Adela Noriega character, manages to get to a motel with Mario Cimarro for a love scene (she drives her own car!!). The medieval, locked down casa of the Fuego version is ridiculous.
Wouldn't you think someone would notice the whip marks on the poor horse?
And what's up with Mexican men being portrayed as way overdosed with testosterone? Nearly all villains are obsessively in love with the main heroine and insanely jealous of her. At the same time, these same villains nearly always have some other woman they bed regularly, whether she's willing or not. In the case of our Feonando, he's also jealous of the gal on the side. Yikes.

Mad Buns ..*stopping for belly bouncing suppressed laughter to settle down*... your juan pun is priceless. This "grand pinata of a novela" *belly bouncing* should maybe expand her costume in color choices if not more fabric, no? Spectacular neon lime green could be top tacky too.

By the way, did everyone but me see the deck of cards on the table? I saw a stack of money and thought they were unique playing cards but thanks to Calimity Cakes I now know that was money. Cards anyone?
From what I've seen so far, this show shouldn't have any nominations at all at next year's awards, not just the editing! I noticed during the awards show that they were really pushing this show, is it popular in Mexico? I'm starting to see that the tastes there are a bit different, since I hear Pasion wasn't a blockbuster there but I think it was the best novela I've seen. I haven't seen a lot, but it was great.
Thanks for the recap(s) Jardinera!

Really? Who is the father? I know she used to be with the Juan Q guy, but according to TV y Novelas they are splitsville. Yes I read my wife's copy of that magazine when she's done with it.
These 3 heroes must have egos bigger than their huge sombreros. In their tiny room with 3 beds, these sweaty, stubbly bricklayers confidently think they can conquer the hearts of 3 beautiful, wealthy women that live on a hacienda that has many bedrooms. And then rebuff them. This telenovela is really requiring us to put on our fantasy hats as someone mentioned. However, I am watching it as if I were watching an accident. Can't take my eyes away even though I know I should.

I think that bouncy, jazzy, loud score has become NoneFerNando's theme song as it seems to follow him around.

This show is insanely popular in Mexico. No this isn't the bard, but it is good cheesy (I agree with Dave) fun. My husband laughs outloud at the "Rural Boys", brothers dressing alike at their age, although the native gingham outfits had a certain amount of suckitude to them also. We really laughed cause during the big Christmas Feista Season in Guerrero they had a rodeo every nites. One night they brought in some Girl Group, that was on TV, in skimpy outfits, damn plastic surgery must be cheap down there. But the Federalis (sp?), the federal army had to escort them in and stand around with guns to make sure the girls didn't get molested. It was quite the hoot.
Dave - Adela Noriega just kills me she is always so weak.
Some one last week ask if she ever shows her legs, I don't know if this was answered, but a while back there was one where Cesar Evora was a priest & Helen Rojo had been the servent, well he did the deed with her and his mom gave her the boot and once again in the driving cold rain of Mexico City a kid dropped off at the church.
She ends up as a model at her mothers fashion house (I know outta 20 million people), but she wore a lot of short dresses in that, but she was mamby pamby in that and always has a case of Laura Flores red eyes.
Back to this one..how come Nando is so pissed all the time? I mean he got off with whacking two people, now he has lots of money and he has enslaved the biggest set of hooters south of the Rio Grande? Geez he needs to calm down a bit.
Also more extra thick and cheese tomb scenes, with the eternal flame just like Pres. Kennedy. Those cause outloud guffaws at my house, right up there with the heart cookies. Nando will get jealous though if his wife starts writing Juan por Siempre on her cool notebooks in pink sparkle ink.

Thanks Jardinera! Cheryl, Willa does look a bit serious about her new hat. She's probably just concentrating on how to balance that big hat on her head.
This is no Pasion, but I'm finding lots of things to snark about, and the recaps are so good. I'll keep tuning in...

Fernando is now Stomp-Nando!
You know im surprise theres no heavenly greeting with Libia and her lover.You know how people reunite in heaven.
Im no Hayden Panittere on chasing whales although i agree on saveing whales(Never seen a whale before).
But Im glad no one found that horse thing funny,
I wonder if death will hit Stomp-Nando or the brothers blood thirst oath with self defence will kill him.
Im praying we wont have another silvana god she was so anoying!
I starting watching the new comdy to come and im no comdy expert but who ever posted it online as I saw it from two diffrent people but it makes no scence and not just because I cant understand it but because its like one big flashback.
Ay , Im getting a sore throat, its makeing me mad i dont want to be sick on my birthday.

Ah, Furd had that big handful of money, but it was money he owed someone. That's probably why he wasn't in such a good mood.
We didn't get to see the end of the double-or-nothing game he started with his pals, but based on his even worse mood when he went looking for Sofia, I'd guess he lost. Which I believe means that he now owes that much again.
Smart villains are fun to watch. Dumb villains are fun to make fun of.

Jardinera --Thanks for your hilarious recap. And I love your new name --almost as much as Willa's new image. I wish I loved FUEGO, but watching in the right spirit, it is fun. And if it continues to inspire such funny blog comments, (I laughed out loud at many of them), Im in for the duration.

Aw, Willa looks so sweet. (I was never able to get my dog to wear any kind of hat whatsoever... and I tried and tried...)
NO I did not find the horse scene amusing at all. I had just been thinking about what happened to that beautiful race horse over the weekend, and then this. (I know it's make-believe, and that I should be more outraged by Furd hitting Rosario... go figure.)
I especially don't get why Furd beat this particular poor creature, considering that Bernardo's death was such a great windfall for Furd.

I love Willa's new hat! Is that a Photoshop hat or a real hat? As Julie says, my dog wouldn't wear a hat either, but maybe I could try a CGI hat.
Great recapps ! I have to say at least Ninel can sing . (I am a little tired of the bon bon song)
I finally watched Fiery Blood.Thank you all for making it easy to jump right in. In my search for the name of a 80's telanovela whose name I can't remember, (It would make a great show for Carla E.)I read where Mexican telenovelas are popular worldwide but considered to be the "weepiest".
I have to say after watching FELS that the chavos/chavas are way too long in the tooth for the parts.Maybe Adela would be ok as the eldest but all the others, while very attractive, look silly acting like adolescents. Like some kind of weird skit.
I believe that Furdie is in a snit because Sofia is not giving it up.
I also think that Juan thought the girls were all virgins cuz I remember him saying something about that being part of the revenge plan.mhm

I live in a small boring town with limited entertainment options, but things are even worse down at the hacienda. I base this opinion on the local cantina, the bonbon dancer, and the horse show. (although my hubby finds miss bonbon rather entertaining) Gramps is the best show in town.
I'm starting to keep track of how many variations of braids the hair stylist can work on Sofia/Adela. That do with the ribbons braided in was a nice complement to the Elly Mae Clampett/HeeHaw outfits the girls wore to the rodeo. Why did they have to do the gingham country girl numbers while Mama Gabi was in the hard core evil black outfit and hat?
At least we know when Fernando is stalking a victim, with his "cool" jazzy theme on the soundtrack.
Thanks for the recap, again better than the actual show.

My father is the lucky one who gets to travel dont think he's been to mexico yet.My mom travels(use to)but she hasnt been out of the usa only over the border above vermont and shes 51,
I saw Tontas on hoy and i took a look online to get a head start before June and well the first ep was like half of a summary I read, It was funny at parts ( loved the beach part, lol) but unlike anything i have seen. Im not getting through with Fuego im on part three of tonights ep,I dont know if i'll finish, Im not feeling good and im most likely gonna be feeling worse tomarow, Im miserble when sick.I happen to be reading Alborada summmaries and i like it im on three. Though Im sick Im could use a little encourgment(remember i have never sat threw a whole show before) . (jumps up and down to rocky theme slowly), The worst gift is to be sick. what a way to turn 19,
Loved the dog in the hat,
You should see what things I dress my dogs up in....frowns makes me think of my maltese Lily I miss that dog,I couldnt get another maltese since they cost alot so I ended up with a chihuahua(with flat ears) I wish i could get her a mexican hat to go on her fuzzy head(frowns I use to be able to put bows in Lily's hair).
I did have a miniture poodle named Pax he was crazy so we gave him to my dads parents.

Yes, Furd should be happy , but he's not. I agree that it might be bacause Sofia keeps saying ''no'' while her eyes say..... ''Are you kidding ??? Absolutely, positively NO.'' And, why did he beat the horse?? ...because the horse was there ...and Furd is just that kind of guy...you know, the ones who kick dogs just because they happen to cross their paths. Furd is a furd. OK..NOW ...on to Mighty Joe Juan..I hope that tonight we see him start putting the moves on Sofia. Her eyes are definately saying ''YES, YES YESSSSSS, Mighty Juan''

Thanks again, guys. I've been wondering at our reason for watching this inane attempt at what passes for an intellectual excursion into entertainment. If it weren't for the snark factor and your comments (which keep me ROFLOL) I would be questioning my sanity for torturing myself by continuing to watch it. (I am even having to chain the immeasurably patient hubster to the couch every evening with this one! DA and Pasión spoiled us rotten.) I guess it's like you said: it is the freeway accident gawk factor. You know you're an ass for slowing down and rubber-necking with all the other cars, but you jes cain't he'p it!
===========
Cheryl: Willa looks adorable!!
=========
As for Pablo, he at least does do versions of "puzzled" very well. There's the squinched up nose version, the open-mouth version, the furrowed brow version..... Sorry, but his character reminds me of a meatball on a stick, and so does Pablo's acting range..... The up side is that others who've seen more of it say that things do improve a ways out. Keeping my fingers crossed at my keyboard.....

Willa and I are officially offended by the horse maltreatment scene. How awful! I think the horse looks knowingly at Feo-non-do and it enraged him with guilty feelings but I hope they don't do that again.
NinaK and others wanting to know about Willa's new hat. First off she only believes in cinema verité so it is a real hat, it is really from Mexico and quite nice. My neighbor Ginger was kind to loan it to me. Willa is really wearing it, the only fudge factor is the pile of her favorite doggie cookies between her and me and my friend Kim holding her from the side (cropped out) so she wouldn't leave the room. Willa is always a bit suspicious of new things and apparently didn't care for the smell of the straw.

This is slightly off the subject but why are there so many multitalented telenovela actors? They seem to sing as well as act (poor Pablo is the exception though he can sing very well.) For example, from Pasion, Daniela Castro, Marisol Olmos, Kiki Eggar(sp), maybe Fernando and others such as Angelica Vale, Jaime Camil, JoseJose, Chantal Andere and so on from other novelas. I assume they mainly made their names first in singing and then transitioned to acting. I've only seen a few novelas, so is this a common tradition, more so than the U. S though we do have Elvis? Just wondering?

Anon. 12:20 pm - Feo Nando raped Rosario in her dressing room the first episodio. For some reason he seems to "own" her and forces himself on her whenever he wants. We don't know how or why this relationship developed, but it's obvious Rosario is repulsed by the fiend.
Cheryl, I am laughing hysterically at the image of you trying to get the dog to wear the hat with a confederate holding cookies. That's so like a dog!
I know why I'm watching this show - it's the suspense.
I'm not talking about the plot. I'm talking about how, at any moment, you can't guess which telenovela you'll be watching five seconds later:
- The Serious Revenge Beefcake Show
- The Wacky Crying Grandpa Show
- The Animal Abuser Comedy Hour
- Three Giggling Brady Brides for Three Sweaty Brothers
- Bitterella's No-Fun-House
- Advanced Fictitious Pastry Projects
Plus three bonus game shows:
- The "Did I Miss Something?" Revue
- The Bonbon Asesino Singalong
- Guess Franco's Expression Prize Showcase
It's confusing, and sometimes not very good, but we haven't had a dull moment yet.

OK I'm sitting all by myself and kinda lonely and then I laughed HAH HAH HAH right out loud at that "meatball on a stick" comment and I'm laughing again writing it. You guys are the greatest.
I have to add one more item to Julie's list of sub-shows this telenovela runs, but I can't remember the name of it. It was a dvd I rented that was supposed to be a how-to yoga video, but turned out to be a homo-erotic video instead (buff men doing fake yoga poses, poorly, while the camera zoomed in on their white-short-shorted crotches). It was hilarious, even if it wasn't meant to be, and I think about it and giggle every time I see the 3 heros here lying around in their bedroom in their skivs. At least they have a little something for all the demographics in this one!

Rosario keeps looking at a photo of a little boy. Is this Furd's spawn ???? He seems to have her under his control [ewww] because he took the little boy away from her and knows where he is. Will this ...eh..bighearted working girl ever get a break and be reunited with her son ?? Will the horse, Mighty Joe Juan, or Rosario get the pleasure of trampling Furd into the ground at the end ???

Awww Lawd! Ok, we know Fernasty is the villian of the piece, so now he speaks horsey and understood the curse the pony flung at him through buck-ed teeth and now he's beating the poor thing? Que the double heck? I don't know, between these spinsters wearing table cloths, these guys building a cabana with no knowledge and no supplies, and hoochie mama singing at the rodeo. . .this is rich! Horse lovers from previous posts must be up in arms!
