A Treat for Caray Fans and Juan 6-4-08 Wed - Marely keeps on making wise decisions like only she has thus far been capable of...
Yes, our Querendon, in the flesh with the villian of many, Slezar of late, I think...
Hillary's Papi, el Millionario and the Reina herself...
Yes, it's the Fiera herself...en Azul...tambien herida...it's a rough world that entertainment business...
Tango anyone? Por supuesto con Latin Lover... recognize the suited one, too?
Todo un Querendon....

OK down to business.....
We then turn to Pau having regrets that she married CL and didn't go with Juan when he asked her way back when. She swears if Marely accepts him she will die of pain and Ivonne says either way it's not going to work and she doesn't even know why Juan asked this of Mar. The SHRIEK OF SHRIEKS follows because he loves her, he loves her, her loves her, (add desk pounding) she really loses it here, MAJOR TANTRUM. Ivy remains remarkably calm, as I might have been dialing the men in white coats by now.
Laura tells Sandro that she and Juan have nothing concrete together, but she's tried everything, even coming to work here and nothing yet has advanced. Sandro agrees Hillary is a formidable competitor.
Ivy continues her patience with this little brat and tells Pau that she should go after him and tell him how she really feels, because she and Mar have the same right to be happy, but Pau says she is my sister and I couldn’t deprive her of the opportunity to be happy with Juan. Ivy still thinks Juan loves her, and she knows Pau loves him, so they need to stop all these games. Pau just doesn't want to let herself out of this drama she's shrouded herself with and pretty much ignores Ivonne's consoling to believe there's a shread of light. Ivy says Juan should choose, but for his choice to be fair she has to be honest.
Kike asks Remo why Anga isn't at the market and learns he's sick so he’s at home. Kike says love sick most likely. Kike tells Remo that Yadi left the apt because of the moves Ang was making. THIS WAS GREAT: Kike hopes he has diarrhea, the kind so bad that he can't even take two steps without.... Remo tells him not to be so Gacho (unpleasant) because Ang is still his boss. Kike says he might be yours, but Kike's going to be getting his own business soon.
Juan is waiting at a restaurant for Marely to show up. He looks around nervously and fears she may have left for Spain already or that she forgot, but when she arrives she asks how could she forget something like this. She wonders what he has for her, he says it's just something little for you, but he nervously banters that she can exchange it if she doesn't like it. He practically opens it for her like a little kid would for his Mom. Turns out it's a purse, but he tells her it's exquisite leather and an exclusive model, the latest fashion and good quality according to the store clerk. Marely begins bawling.
Pau decides she’ll talk to Juan. Oh, she did hear some things afterall! Ivy looks for him. Julia burst the bubble this time, Juan went out with Mar for something important and he's not there.
Meanwhile, Mar bawls. Juan thinks it’s for the purse, he swears they can switch it etc. She says it’s not that she just wonders why things happen when they do. She tells him she's defnitely leaving and nothing anyone says will change her mind. Look, she bought the ticket already anyway. He wonders what will happen to them. She says there is no them. He says if she says yes, there will be and she wonders why he didn't tell her before. He says he was stupid but they are the perfect couple. She fires back that he does everything in reverse and he's not being realistic. He wonders if she loves him and she says that's not the point. She says she wants to ask a question and that he absolutely has to tell her the truth. Her life depends on his answer. He promises to tell the truth. Duh, we all know what she is going to ask. Is he still in love with Pau? He thinks an algebra question would have been easier to answer. (We know how he hates algebra.)
"Sandro" offers Pau to order in sushi with him.
Juan responds to Marely that now she's the one putting him between the sword and the wall, but she remarks that Pau is the sword and the wall is herself. He blurts it out finally. Yes, I am down to my damn bones. I'm still in love withe her, but he and Pau have no future together and he and Mar do. Mar wonders what will happen down the road, she thinks all these feelings he felt will come back because he only wants her to forget Pau. He says yes, but not in a bad way, he wants to be happy with her. She tells him, Juan you will never want me the way you want Pau.
Lau looks for Juan, Ivy happily tells her he’s gone and she’s not telling where. Laura stomps off.
Juan paints the picture of them in their little house with garden and the kids yelling to show them little snails and so forth. Mar says it’s Pau in that dream not her and you will keep suffering until you realize that. WAKE UP WHITE BOY!!!!
Well, sort of white, white of hispanic origin, whatever that means (I see this in reverse on forms for schools and surveys and such and it sort of bugs me that kids or anyone, really, has to pigeon hole themselves, I think if there has to be classification the boxes should read more like "human," "non human but of earth origin," "non-earth origin"...but I digress...). She says he is really just AFRAID to face the problems he has with himself and Pau. He tells himself that hurt and he's starting to get a clue that there is not much more he can do now.
Heri chats with Pastor, explaining that he's grateful he’s the only one who’s really been a true friend to him he can't believe that Pastor has so many great feelings for someone so short & stubby! (sentimientos altos de alguien tan chaparra-like a huge amount of feelings packed into a small package)
Kike and Yadi at lawyer's, but Kike’s (Perf) did not show up yet and he is fretting about what to do. Yadi suggests he goes in alone because he's safer without that guy anyway. I think Kike agrees to himself because he says he'll go in.
Mar shows up at Farell and thanks Ivy for manageing her calls. Pau comes out and asks her how she is and notes she’s a little late. Mar says yes, because I ate with Juan. Pau, is just dying to hear all the details yet not wanting to know at the same time asks how it went and mar says fine.
Juan sits on a bench and daydreams that he and Marely are together at the playground with Juanito and a little girl and that she is glad she didn't go to Spain so they could be together. He tells himself that she is right this was all an illusion and it was his fault for opening his big mouth without thinking. I think it's hysterical how he has to lunge down in this scene almost on his knees to kiss her because he is like a foot and a half taller than she is!! So funny. He agrees to himself that maybe it's time that image stayed only in his imagination and he should say good bye forever to it like a sand castle that the ocean has erased.
There's fussing at the lawyer's, essentially Yadi says Kike can see baby anytime he wants, but only in the house. He thinks that's crazy that he can't go on walks or take here to the park or out other places and not a good relationship. She agrees then to let him take her out but she lives with her. He wonders if he can take her on a trip and lawyer says only with mom agreement and if he doesn't follwo this he risks all his benefits. He doesn't understand all that except that he assures he is there only to do what's best for the baby. Lawyer ask about the child support and they agree there's no argument there, they both will pay so now they just need to put everything in final.
Perf and Gutis fight about him lending his name and prestige to someone who isn’t getting him anywhere. Gutis throws him out of the rat shack. That’s the lowest of the low to be thrown out of someplace like that even.
Juan still sad goes to the market and is told Kike's gone to lawyer, and Anga is home sick.
Lawyer sums up the meeting, that now they just have to wait the requisite time until the next meeting and then all will be finalized. Yadi wonders if that's just part of the negotiations and Dorantes explains it actually provides time to reflect to see if you really want to divorce.
Just then Perf shows up and starts with excuses. Kike doesn’t want his blabber and sends him to the diablo by firing him.
Pau calls Mar in and gets to the point, what happened with Juan. Mar tells Pau she didn’t accept, she’s definitely going to Spain. Pau congratulates her, but isn't sure if that's the right thing to feel, but thinks Juan isn't right for her but she wants to know why Mar rejected him. Mar says like her, she wants to make her own career and take this path and do something for herself. Pau thinks maybe she should think about it more if she loves Juan. Mar says his heart is occupied and he may balance a lot of women, but he can only dedicate himself to one.
Juan sees Ang and tells him he should go to the doctor. Ang says his pain is of the soul. Juan tells him sort of, but it's more like just the truth blocked up in the middle of the sweet (Gaznate - a candy made with pineapple and coconut) i.e. stuck in the middle all wrapped up in sweet stuff, and what he really needs to do is find out if his suppositions are true and get them off his chest because they are suffocating him. Anga says well, everyone thinks the worst of him and Nid is so offended she wouldn't take saliva from him even if her throat was completely dry, and Juan says he could talk to her for Anga because he knows how to work that woman. Anga wonders what is wrong with him, though, because he obviously has a long face. He starts to rehash.
Mar says she maybe had a beautiful dream about Juan wanting her, but now she's sure of her decision today so she's going to change her ticket to go to Spain tomorrow instead.
Pau thinks Mar is rushing, and may be worried that Juan may try to convince her. Mar says no just worried about all she needs to do. Pau promises to help and wonders what to say. Mar says the usual like good luck. They weep and both feel sad and Pau says maybe she'll hate it and want to come back and they'll miss each other and no don't take me to the airport because she hates sad goodbyes at airports, blah blah...
Kike tells Juan that all is not lost and Juan should tell Mar that he was thinking and Pau is just a passing fancy. Juan asks him how she could be a passing fancy if she's tattoed on his soul. Kike keeps going but Juan says he can't lie to her sher's smart and thinks with her head instead of her feet like us. Kike really wants to see his buddy with a great girl like Marely.
Ivy is happy for Pau that Marely declined Juan, because now this opens the door for her to reveal her feelings without guilt. Pau smiles a happy-sad smile.
Mar tells Pastor she’s leaving. Pastor thinks she’s one of the few who took her job seriously and he's really sorry to see her go.
Julia doesn’t believe that Mar is going to livebut Ivy tells her she won a scholarship and gets to study. Fer walks up and finds out. He walks over to Mar as she is confirming she can change her ticket. He asks if she's going and she says yes, and he smiles a happy – sad smile.
Nid and Perf talk about Kike and Yadi and why he's been let go. She hopes that if they live here together that they will get together. Perf says no Kike signed the agreement to move out and the divorce is unjderway. Nid is mortified. Yadi walks in and Ma tells her she was hoping they would reconcile. yadi laughs and says that Kike wants to move out.
Mar tells Pau her ticket could be changed and today is her last day at Farell.
Nid says it's Yadi's fault that Kike's love for her has died, that he could forget Topete but not this with Anga and that she should be satisfied that she's repelled the only decent man who's liked her in her life. Yadi tells that Kike has a horn too, or didn’t they know he was seeing someone?
Mar gets good byes and a standing ovation and a warning about overuse of garlic in the food. Sandro comes across teh scene and wonders what's up, when he learns mar is leaving, he says what a waste of time. Mar is impactada. Fer congratulates her and wishes her well. They were like family to her she says.
Flash to Sandro seeing her face in his newspaper. Me thinks he goes to Spain with Cl’s money and lives happily ever after with her And Dorado Dave.
Pastor is at Angas and he thinks he'll be better in the morning but Pastor wants to get him a Dr. appt. he tells him of Mar's departure and Anga thinks how sad Nid must be.
In a car, Fer and Ivonne are discussing the twins situation. She thinks she will confront the story directly. He says that will prove nothing and the twins will cover for each other. He has an idea...that we'll learn more about tomorrow I guess.

Great recap...loved your MAJOR TANTRUM quip.
You know when you get right down to it, this show is really stupid but entertaining. The secret is to be able to fast forward the whinning, and the nonsence, making an hour long show, about 20 min.
I have taped the 1 AM show on Telenova featuring Paula (Mayrin), but in this show, Paula is at least 5 years younger, and pre-implanted....I won't be taping it much longer. But she does wear sandels, which is something never seen on JQ.
Ok, lets end JQ, put us all out of our misery, (except for Paula's dress, and the upper torso expo) this has gone on long enough.
Lets bust CL, let Hlllary declare defeat (which Hillary- either one) Juan and Paula have about two shows showing their love for each other....and move on
Regards amigas y amigo..Maureen
It does justice to Paula's incredible figure and gives us more than an eyeful, that's for sure.
It would look great in red too, right Anon #1!?
Export Red , my friend, it is just the way of the world, and the way of Univision. I find myself watching more and more Univision, because they just let it all hang out.
Lets face it, Sex sells, and sell commercials. I can remember when Univision had no commecials. Just
PSAs, and program previews....that is not the case now, as even the Univision TV journalist are well endowed, and don't mind showing.
As far as JQ, there is nothing else to look for....the show is going down hill, taking too long to get to the end....maybe its the upper exposure of certain female attributes, thats keeping the Univision bank accounts "fat", and keeping the show alive....hmmmmm
P.S. I wonder which Hillary will cave in first.
Eduardo Santamarina absolutely oozed charisma and is a wonderful live performer, the stage lit up when he was on it. Edith Gonzalez is super talented as an actor and dancer, wow can she dance! Jorge Salinas is incredibly handsome, charismatic and suave. Sergio Sendel is not so used to performing live I think, but his best scene was when he was pissed off at someone, I was disappointed he didn't throw a phone. Carmen Salinas acts, sings, does stand up comedy, and has wonderful rapport with the audience. Papa Paris is a good comedic actor and he sings too. Latin Lover was there as eye candy only. The costumes and dancing were hot!
All in all "Aventurera" was a cheesily delightful revue and I must thank our dear recapper Kris for telling me about it, I would never have known otherwise. Look for an Aventurera performance near you!!
On another subject, according to my Tivo Juan Querendon will continue into the third week of June, so I'm thinking (hoping) the last episode will be June 20th.
On to JQ: Was I ever surprised that Marely decided to go to Spain?! Wow, for once Juan didn't get his way. I think right now he is more confused that he has ever been. He has many romantic loose threads to tie up in the next couple of weeks.
Kris, I'm amazed at all the conversational details you picked up in this episode. Great job translating this one. Thanks!!
Yes, I too was pleasantly surprised that Marely stuck with her plan for going to Spain. She was indeed "sensata". Now the question is, will the real Sandro hop a plane and join her.
And will he get there before Dorado Dave wins her heart?
“The SHRIEK OF SHRIEKS follows” Paula shrieking would have awakened my mother-in-law (she could wake up the deaf, in other words, with her shriek). It made me want to turn the program off—thank goodness for “mute.”
“I might have been dialing the men in white coats by now.” LOL!
“He thinks an algebra question would have been easier to answer. (We know how he hates algebra.)” LOL! Remember that Profa who was after Juan? That seems like it was a decade ago.
“I think it's hysterical how he has to lunge down in this scene almost on his knees to kiss her because he is like a foot and a half taller than she is!!” I thought that was pretty amusing, too.
I thought Paula was the height of hypocritical when Marely told Paula she was going to Spain, and Paula couldn’t stop grinning. How annoying and self-absorbed! (Of course, we knew that).
“Flash to Sandro seeing her face in his newspaper. Me thinks he goes to Spain with Cl’s money and lives happily ever after with her And Dorado Dave.” ROTFL!! Not if Dorado Dave has anything to say about it! It’s him and Marely, Sandro is definitely a third wheel.
“To start Paula should wear that dress until the show goes off the air. (sending it to the dry cleaners everyday, or having it duplicated in serveral different colors maybe)” Anon #1, you crack me up!!!! ROTFL!!!
Jeanne
Just trivia: Santamarina’s ex-wife & mama to his 2 little boys, Itatí Cantoral, has also played the lead in “Aventurera” in Mexico. But I think Edith Gonzalez is probably the reigning queen of the role, if not the originator.
Hi Ex Red, I gotta say, and I do so with the greatest of respect, but honestly, I'm not really finding much difference between your comments about people's outward appearance, and Anon #1's. The exception seems to be this, that you look at the "girlie" things, like clothes and make up, hair and face, and he looks at the "guylie" things like boobs, and boobs, and boobs, and well, ok, feet too, and defnitely a few other things, like shoes.
Anyway, this discussion has been had before so I won't rehash, but mostly I think we all agree the storyline leaves much to be desired at this point, so we are almost forced into talking about periferals, and like it or not, the show flaunts that "sex" stuff, and it's just hard not to mention, even for one who isn't really looking, and if you are looking, well you may as well call a spade a spade, especially among compadres!
I think perhaps taking on the whole Mexican Telenovela industry (among many, many, others) might be a more well placed complaint that serving it on the lowly messenger here who reports his findings. Do I think you will be successful with that? Hmmm... Well.... I wish you suerte at least, because as a principle, I agree with you.
Again, with greatest respect, for me I have to respectfully disagree that Edith Gonzales is not a beauty queen. She is now 42 or 43, had a first baby at 40, and still has a perfect figure she can confidently bare for belly dancing and slinky dresses, beautiful full hair, and incredibly enchanting eyes, and from all I've ever seen, narry a wrinkle on her face. Sharkbait and I commented that we would have loved even at 22 to have her figure now at 42!!
Amazing, really... and as you mentioned, the talents definitely abound with these folks!
Anyway, I was proud of Marely and in utter awe at Pau's emotional display. I wonder how she felt acting that. I'm actually mad at Juan, but I guess that was sort of in character for him to make a play for Marely. But good for her..you GO girl (figuratively and literally!!)
Wow, would I love to see that show, Aventurera! I hope it comes to Albuquerque. Was it in Spanish?
Anon#1, I like your technique of fast forwarding through the whining! That works for me too except on the night I recap. Then I feel like I have to listen for modismos at least. Paula is not the biggest source of those however but Nidia can whine and spew modismos at the same time. Must be a talent developed over more time. HA!
Exportred, I so enjoy your witty comments but it makes me feel bad when you act bossy about telling people what to write about just because you have been on this site longer than the rest of us. If someone isn't writing spoilers or off the subject comments isn't it their choice? Or perhaps Melinama as the BlogMom?
We had one, but that's pretty routine. There were touchdowns all over but not too close to us.
Jeanne
I'm uncomfortable with confrontations and immediately go into a "mom, dad please don't fight!" mode. (I know, get thee to family therapy Judy!)
But here's the interesting part. I don't think it bothers Maureen (Export Red) or Anon #1 to disagree at all.
She fires off a round, he fires back, and it's forgotten. They're still on friendly terms, they're still in e-mail contact.
So I've told myself I'm not going to worry about it and hey...maybe I WILL get therapy.
Join me anyone?
I only comment on what I see, what is funny to me, and what interest me. I attempt to be very tasteful with each comment.
I will respond to your personal attack on me, via your e-mail address.
The bottom line is, we are talking about a TV show that is fiction, but our comments can sometimes be very real life.
I have often felt that if we can laugh at ourselves, and find the things in life that make us laugh, life becomes less stressful, and we will live much longer.
I am in Richmond ... it is a small world.
On an endnote, I noticed Cheryl touched on a sentiment that I think is what draws us all together. That is, that we all have something to say, which we wish to share with our group here for whatever reasons. To me that's what's fun about the blog and sort of the point as I think none of this ought be taken super serious or personal.
I fact I think I'm going to go off and paint my face purple and stare at the sun for a little while.
Nah..just kidding. I wish, but alas I'm working. Another day. :)
Remember when we were kids, we went outside no matter what the weather and didn't complain. Now that we're grown, we seem to forget that it gets cold in winter and hot in summer and complain about both.
Some of my classes I teach in air conditioning but some I teach in a school gym with no ventilation other than some big fans. So I'm no stranger to sweat!
And speaking of, my son and I just wrestled (mostly him, believe me) a big, clunky busted treadmill down to the curb for pickup tomorrow. Yikes, we're both ready to put our feet up for the day.
I know what you mean about "when we were kids" because I hate hot weather in the summer but would go out and play in it long ago. I, however, whined like crazy (according to my Mommy) that I didn't like being "sticky." I still hate that part.
Stay cool, everyone!

Yes, first time I've seen Edith with dark hair, and it was cut very short for her. The show plays in the DF but also tours around various cities in Mexico and in the last few years has hit cities in the US like a concert for one night. I haven't been able to find any upcoming tour dates so I think it's not playing on a full tour and may have only made some special appearances.
Carmen Salinas is a hugely popular comedic actress and this show is her "baby" so to speak. She took it to the stage and is the producer, responsible for casting and such. I think I've seen her most recently in the novelas Velo de Novia with Susana Gonzales and Eduardo Santamarina, and Entre el Amor y el Odio with Susana Gonzales and Cesar Evora. She's very funny, and also very outspoken, and right about now, probably a very disappointed Hillary Clinton fan.... :)
