Guapos 07-22-08 "You and me baby ain't nothin' but mammals,So let's do it like they do on the Discovery Channel"
This is a shameless and rather tasteless shoutout to the song "The Bad Touch" by the BloodHound Gang...Yes Const and Luci, this is for you two kids. Consti and Luci, they really don't get it, they are so self-centered they are totally unaware of the misery they have wroth.
Okay we start off with a quickie rehash of Val & Rocky, so young so in love…okay I really do like these too and ol Val is so cute. Mili looks on with shaded eyes. Oh the pain.
Anyhow, Al goes & threatens Matt the Ratt, which really isn’t hard, I am pretty sure I could take him, and I am rather old and tired, yet without airbrushing Mateo seems old and tired also.
So now back to the show, Blonde sister is visiting Flor (yes, after all this time I still don’t her name).
She and Flor are talking about how Al can’t be trusted with the company. Al comes in and basically kicks the sisters out as he starts changing his clothes right then and there.
Mili is down stairs in the kitchen with Val and Rocky and Sorrocito. Sorrocito has given them a quenching beverage to quench the thirst they worked up during the vicious soccer game. Val is all nasty and sweaty, yeah like she could ever look bad.
Chaumaco now comes into the kitchen hobbling on his crutches. Sorrocito picks up a small skillet and says she wants to talk to him. Mili leaves. Sorrocito is giving Chaumaco the stink eye and trying to get the 411 from him. The boy is rather clueless, but finally figures out that Sorrocito thinks there may be a kid on the way.
Some guy (I call all these guys like him just TeleNovela Guy, I never know their names but they repeatedly show up in these things), anyway he starts telling Matt that he will guide Matt with the company. He says you better marry blonde babe like yesterday. Matt asks what is his name. “Lobo, VillaLobo”, really he said Villalobo, but I like to add the air of mystery to this guy.
Now Mili and Val are having a girl chatfest, Lina comes in and says she is going to meet Bobby, and that Bobby has some big declaration to make. Val says play it cool.
Now Val and Mili are soul sisters as well as half-sisters, they hug, Luci walks in and has a little hissy. “Why are hugging that nasty fly?” Val, no longer the lil Luci Clone, “Tells her STFU and Mili and I are like sisters, plus a couple of digs about cutting up the picture”. The whole “Like Sisters thing”, makes Luci swallow the small amount of bile that just rose up in her throat. Mili, rubs it in with a “Yeah, we are just like sisters”. Luci turns to run upstairs, nothing gets the taste of barfy bile out of your mouth like a couple of quarts of Capn Morgan. Before Luci, can vamoose Al comes down the steps and gives her the accusing stink-eye. Luci is like “How sharper than a serpent's tooth it is
To have a thankless child!” Thank you Wm Shakespeare. She runs up the steps.
Now Al turns his face of angst upon his might have been sister and his real half sister. Val wants to know what is wrong. But Al just marches out of the house with his little tin soldier stiff leg walk, we have all come to know and love. Val then laments to Mili how unhappy Al is in his marriage to Flor. Yes we get to see the glittering tear sheen of Mili’s eyes.
Al goes out to the garden where Flor and Blonde sis are gulping down big heaping helpings of Kool-Aide.
Al tells Blondie to hit it and he wants to talk to Flor. Flor says Sis wants Matt to handle the money and company. She wants Al to stay away from Mili. Al won’t play and tells her do what ever you want with the company.
Chaumaco is in talking to Gloria, he is beating around the bush…or rather trying to find our if he needs to be worried. Gloria says she is fine. He finally asks her if she is (regular as in monthly) at least that is the way I took it. She says yes, why are you asking, Soccorito comes in. Gloria is not thrilled with the implication and walks out.
Well that is all of that…we will be left to wonder if there is a pan in the oven.
Now Bobby & Lina are having a very stilted snack time. The dessert looks good all chocolatey and nice. However things are tense as they thought bubble, he is unsure what to say. He finally blurts out, “Do you want to be novios?” Lina plays hard to get. ------Correct me I am wrong, I missed part of this-----
Leaving them both looking kind of sad, say if you lost your appetite I could finish that little snack off for you.
Damien is in the study on the phone. He is talking to Fernando (I think that is the Tool friend of Matt), anyway it seems Tool needs to buy some expensive gift for Karlita, as if she wouldn’t do it for a bag of bitesize snickers.
Luci wanders in drink in hand. Capn Morgan always makes it right. Now, this is the same day that Luci already told Nestor that she would drink and she was swiggin straight out of the bottle. Well she seems to have remembered her upperclass status and is now chugging out of a glass. Luci doesn’t drink because she needs to, it is only to keep her thankless children from ever getting her liver.
Damien puts the squeeze on Luci for more dinero to pay off Fernando. Luci says no way. Damien betrayed her for the 431st time when he acted like she destroyed the picture. Damien says well, you tend to due things when you drink. He finally agrees to give her his 20% in the company.
Mili has followed, “Al of the Stiff Legs” outside where he is posed pensively deep in thought on the outside staircase in the garden. Mili asks him what is wrong. His wife has no confidence in him.
---Geez Al, ya think---
He will divorce her. This causes Mili all kinds of tortured grief, no you must stay for the baby. You can’t abandon your baby. Al says he is not “Her Father or in other words” RatBastard Consti. Al says no matter you divorce Hugo or not, I will not stay married to Flor. He has mucho inner resentment against Flor marrying him, knowing he loved his sister who really wasn’t his sister. He also adds he will never abandon his kid, but the continues that he will never stay married to Flor. For added emphasis he walks off again with very stiff legs. Mili is left again to wring her hands over her fate as a poor motherless child.
Mili is now looking at the picture of Ma & Pa, back in happier days…that would be before Pa sold Ma and Mili down the road.. Knock, Knock, Knock….she hides the picture…Why lookie lookie, it is RatBastard child abandoning Pa. He tries to play nice, but alas Mili is in no mood for his crap. He tries to tell her that he is concerned with her shares in the company and he would very much like to represent her. Mili says he must have a lot on his mind, like his political career, his company. Mili asks him how he could abandon his child and marry someone he didn’t love, raise her Bastard and treat said Bastard like crap. She adds she would rather have a dog represent her than have him. OH SNAP. Consti gets that constipated look on his face, but no deal, no words flow out. He leaves, Mili laments.
Meanwhile, Blondie sister is talking to Matt the Rat…He promises to take care of their business. Then he pulls out a ring box with a hefty, I am crazy in love with your money, I mean with you honey, and pulls out a stellar ring. She looks pensive for about 3 seconds then agrees. Matt says he only has the best of intentions towards her and her dinero. Later she shows him a picture of Flor, Blondie and Lobo, that is VillaLobo to you. She says he was a good friend of Ma’s, but not so much Pa’s.
---I am getting a faint alarm on my Bastarddar…Hmmm more secrets?
Now Mili and the Chiclet Posse, Gloria & Lina are talking. Lina is giving them the 411 on her date with Bobby. He wants Novios, but I think they are still just Amigos with a nice chocolate dessert. I dunno, maybe Lina doesn’t want to rush it, but girlfriend has been in love with Bobby for mucho anos.
Now Bobby is forced to look at the pouty face of Al over pizza. Bobby tries to talk a little about Lina, but soon realizes nothing he could say would ever be nearly as interesting as Al’s diatribe about Flor.
Meanwhile, Karla goes to see hawt Tool boy, he gives her a present. (I missed what happened next…I feel confident in saying I am sure it was skanky)
Now we see Mili go in and say something to Hugo who is in his Van Gogh phase and can’t stop painting…awkward moments…Mili goes to bed by herself. Hugo tossed his latest “Mother and Child” paint by number.
Alas so much misery…but wait not everyone is unhappy…
Say audience let’s stroll into the “Musky Smelling Study”, Why it is Consti and Luci yep doing hawt monkey hate sex. See I don’t get this at all. I mean these two hate each other, I have known people who break up and then just keep having hate sex. I don’t get it. I mean is there no bar in this neighborhood? I mean you have already taken a ride on that bus. Jeez there is always another bus coming in 15 minutes.
I really can’t feel sorry for Andrea and Nestor, here is an idea, while you are waiting not to have sex with you mysteriously exhausted better half, why don’t you try reading a book? Huh just get up off your lazy Ass and take a stroll to the study.
Now Mili is standing and looking forlorn and here comes Stiff Al.
The end…
Tomorrow looks like a big board meeting, which before everyone else comes in…Consti & Luci talk about how they could do the Hawt Monkey right there on the table…
Al strolls in, he is Mili rep in the company…much to Hugo fury as the veins pop out on his forehead…
I apologize to all the readers of these recaps…perhaps I have been a bit harsh with Miss Camacho’s eight grade writing class…As I was typing this during “Fuego de Sangre” I was forced to realize that the “Guapos” characters are a freakin brain trust compared to Fuego. At least Al always remember every chick he nailed and the many abandoned children were dropped off at St. Deceptions.
Okay we start off with a quickie rehash of Val & Rocky, so young so in love…okay I really do like these too and ol Val is so cute. Mili looks on with shaded eyes. Oh the pain.
Anyhow, Al goes & threatens Matt the Ratt, which really isn’t hard, I am pretty sure I could take him, and I am rather old and tired, yet without airbrushing Mateo seems old and tired also.

Great recap and hilarious as ever!! I haven't even watched the episode, but with your spin on it ringing through my head, I'm sure to get quite the kick out of it. I, too, can't get my mind wrapped around the notion of Connie and Luci doing the nasty with each other. But hey, it makes for some funny tv.
Just a comment on yesterday's episode regarding Hugo the painting slasher: I was on the fence with whether he was being rhetorical or whether he was confessing to Flo that he in deed did the slashing. I lean toward him being responsible, but left it open for interpretation in my recap.

Ah Beckster, I love how you always choose the right song titles for these ;) Thanks for the great recap as well. Is that your pooch on your avatar? He looks like a basset, but I'm no expert. Years ago I was telling someone it seemed like the only dog I'd be willing to adopt in the future (I had Chihuahuas as a child and they are too high maintenance and I refuse to own a dog that can knock me over, plus once I got a cat I lost all patience for dogs...) until they mentioned basset hounds have a strong odor because their skin is so oily since they were originally raised to catch water fowl. Wait, were we talking about something else?...
Back to the story at hand, Cathy and Beckster, I think our soon to be divorced couple are actually getting off on cheating. Yesterday Connie told Damian that he was sooo happy because he was no longer the "cornudo" (cuckold). Now someone else was... They are getting even with the "other man/woman" respectively by sleeping with the spouse they never loved in the first place. It's sick and wrong, and quite fitting for both of these crazy freaks.
I think Gloria's pregnancy is still a strong possibility as she has gone from one pregnancy symptom extreme(nausea) to the other (eating everything in sight). She tells the chiclets she ate so well she had a second helping.
Alas, it looks like Lina's plan to "play hard to get" has backfired. The problem with Val's advice is that everyone (including Val) have forgotten Val wasn't playing hard to get in her single days, she was actually turning them down. As for Al and Bobby's reasoning that "no" means "MAYBE" and "maybe" means "NO" it sounds like a comic strip (can't remember which) where a kid asks his dad for money and after about the 10th "no" dad finally breaks down with a "we'll see" only to have the kid reply "then I guess the answer is no!" It's just so childish. Having said that, a friend explained to me that the reason I couldn't get certain guys to leave me alone when I was single is because I told them I just wanted to be friends. Apparently, they interpret that as a sign that they still have a shot. And they say women read too much into things!!!
Earlier today someone (sorry, can't remember who) commented on yesterday's recap that they were unsure about the fake hair pullings, so here's my two cents. I’ve studied stage combat for a number of years and can tell you a little bit about it. Like much other staged violence, it is all about victim control. Here are three techniques:
1)“Attacker” folds fingers the way they would if they were grabbing something (like hair) and places their hand on top or back of the “victim’s” head making sure not to curl the thumb in. The “victim” then places their hand over that of the "attacker" and takes hold of it. Now “attacker” lifts their hand towards the “victim’s” hand and the “victim” pushes the “attacker’s” hand towards their own head. The pushing/pulling effect makes it looks like the struggle is the other way around.
2)“Attacker” grabs the “victim’s” hair (ponytails are good for this) and the “victim” grabs the “attacker’s” wrist. Then the “attacker” moves their arm while the “victim” pretends to struggle. This is good when you are dragging them somewhere.
3)What we see frequently in this TN is a variation of version 1, but both parties place both hands on either sides of their partner’s head and start shaking. It’s not as secure and has the unfortunate side effect of looking exactly like what it is: Placing your hands on the other person’s head.
So we finally see the first of the new "credits" characters: Gustavo Villalobos. I'm with Beckster, he's got RatBastard written all over him.
I don't think Al had to be so cruel with Mili. He basically blamed her for them being apart by not telling him the truth right away so they could decide "together" what they right thing to do was. Granted, she really had no right to choose for him, but her heart was in the right place. I will give him kudos for trying to explain to Mili that being a child with divorced parents might not be great, but being a child of parents that hate each other is just plain hell. No matter how you slice it, the mere fact that Al is willing to give his name to his kid, and that Flo is a rich heiress and a grown woman, as opposed to a teenager with no money or education, already makes this kid's childhood completely different from Mili's.

Thanks Beckster...always enjoy your left field sense of humor. And also enjoy the hilarious "forbidden fruit" scenes between Lucy and Constancio.
I just think these two play those scenes really well and it does seem true that illicit sex is waaaay more exciting than Church-sanctioned married relationships.
How many times have I heard gals lament that sex was sooo exciting when they were dating...but ever since they got married...zilch. Oh well...

Thanks Beckster! I loved your quip about Luci making sure her ungrateful children wouldn't get her liver!
I watch without captions and my spanish is limited, but I think Lina said she wanted to think about it when Bobby asked if she wanted to be his girlfriend? Which of course made him unhappily stab his cake (what a waste of cholocate!)and her feel like she had the upper hand, something she probably needs after being humiliated by Fernando. Poor Bobby!
I'm glad Al has decided to leave Flor and I wish Mili would get with the program and see the reality of their situation instead of measuring everything against her own childhood. And what is up with the preview of her giving Al her voting proxy? I know Hugo went into the marriage knowing she loved Al and that he's now turning to the dark again, but seriously - I think she's been selfish in using his love/obsession for her to forward her own "noble" plan to stay away from Al and never seems to take into account how her actions affect Hugo. If she would stop and actually pay attention to Hugo she might realize he's got serious problems. Kind of like Luci using Frenchie and ruining his life. The guy probably wasn't a saint, but did he really deserve what he got?

At the very end, Mili told Al that he was right--her marriage to Hugo was a mistake. I think Mili and Hugo are both being totally obtuse. Yes, she is oblivious to his psychosis and his needs, but I don't know why he thinks acting snitty will help. It's at least 1/2 his own fault they are not intimate..."Hey, c'mon, let's do it already" is NOT proper seduction. Not for anyone, and particularly not for young innocent Mili who is rather anxious about the whole business.
So Bobby seems to think that Lina has turned him down flat. Oy, Bobby. She did not wear that low-cut top for her health. At least he probably won't run out and marry the first woman he meets before she can say "yes."

I could be wrong, but I think when Damion signed over his shares to Luci, he used some kind of disappearing ink. So, by the time he cashes Luci’s check, the ink should disappear and he’s in a win, win situation.
Beckster, I love the paint by numbers bit. Hugo sure is falling fast. The look he gave Mili when she asked him to “come to bed” was great.
If Lobo has Marisal’s interests at heart, why would he want Mat the Rat to marry her? She said that Lobo was her mother’s first husband. For obvious reasons, her father never got along with el Lobo, but he’ll be the perfect padrino for their wedding. At dinner, el Lobo made it seem that Mat the Rat has a surprise Vegas elopement in the works. Maybe el Lobo is looking for a front man to take over Domingo’s territories. In Soprano’s terms, he’s like Johnny Sacs coming from NY to make sure he still gets his percents on time from NJ.
Fernando gave Carla a fur coat, which threw her over the top, since she was envying Andrea’s new fur just yesterday.
It seems the Lina/Bobby romance may be put on the back burner. She’s playing hard to get and he thinks she’s not interested. So he’s not going to make another play for awhile and she’s going to whine to her amigas.

Yep Damian did sign over the shares in disappearing ink which I think is hilarious.
I don't think Lina is playing hard to get. I think she is afraid of being used and hurt again. Nor do I see her and Bobby being put on the back burner.
The reference to Johnny Sax's is good. This guy was like a second father to the two MP's. He now is intent on taking over the crime empire of the late departed Domingo and will use Mat the Rat and Marisela to do it. I think he was worried about Al but has been assured that the golden boy is not
interested in either the business, the blood money or the whiny princess.
Mili is her own worst enemy when it comes to Connie. Every time she throws one of those hate filled diatribes at him he retreats further from telling her the truth. She has elevated Rosario to sainthood status without knowing that Rosario ran off and left both Connie and Braulio in the dark.
Mili has an unfortunate tendency to blame men for everything that goes wrong and while Flo would never believe it Mili is hell bent on preserving her marriage and being sure the spawn has two parents. Whoever mentioned that she has a blind spot thinking two parents who hate each other is better than being raised by just one is correct. Al tried to tell her but she isn't hearing him.
Like Flo Hugo made his own bed and apparently unlike her isn't sleeping in it. This forthcoming honeymoon should be VERY interesting.

Maybe Mili will almost drown on the honeymoon and a mysterious man in cut-off jean shorts will save her.

What kind of freak is Marisela that she covered her eyes when Al took off his shirt? She prefers Mateo?

Julia,
I thought that was hilarious as well. I don't know how old the actor playing mateo is but he looks old enough to be the father to all of the young 'uns. Maybe she had to cover her face to keep from jumping him after having spent time in the sack with the sad sack Mat.

Thanks for a funny recap, Beckster.
I actually liked the Al/Mili confrontation scene. I think it was the frist time that he actually behaved like a man and not a pampered, whiny joven. He said directly what he was feeling without anger or manipulating Mili. And he was l00% right about what he said. I think it sunk in because of her understanding she had made a mistake about marrying Hugo. Also I liked when she told the Guapito that she had confidence in him and lovingly stroked his cheek. Maybe now they can be a team in an adult way --although the timing on this leads me to believe there has to be
alot more angst before they can get together.But wouldn't it be nice if the writers took the PASION mode as a model and let them be solidly together fighting outside forces. I also thought Eugenio's acting in this scene was very good.

Thanks, Beckster! Every paragraph has at least one good hearty laugh, many have more.
Does Al actually know that Flor knew that he and Mili weren’t actually brother/sister? I get lost on who knows what.
I love the Luci/Connie lust fests. Both are such terrific actors and it’s great to see them both having a ball with their scenes.

MAGGIE,
Al knows that Flo knew the truth before she married him. In her typical CYA moment she told him that Mili had told her something he did not believe.
