Caray, Caray!

Julie, I think you got it. Beautiful! Amen to Jimena being an idiot.

And what was with both Oscar and Juan going nuts on the oxygen tent? If they boy is in a coma then do they really think shaking his bed is good for him?

I keep hoping Sarita will go in to see Franco and he will wake up. I'm starting to miss him. Pedro is kind of a fish out water with all the crazys and I liked how Franco just laughed a lot. Kind of like the village idiot. At least someone was laughing.
 

Sorry for the typo, the not they.

But I had another thought. Its from a few nights ago, but I have been catching up. I get that Rosario needs to get up and start walking again, but what hopital sends you outside on the public street in a hospital gown and slippers?
 

I think something happened with Rosario and the kid too, but I don't remember what...
 

It would have been nice if Ofelia had brought Rosario something to wear, yes. :) But if her burns are still healing, she'd need to wear something loose... I don't know if she owns any such thing!
 

Raquel caught Feo with Crabi and got uppity. Crabi got uppity right back and grabbed his arm and walked off. Raquel was not happy. Oh, and...

Feo acted like a jerk. ;-)
 

Oh, right. Feo refused to discuss with Raq at the time, but said he would give her an "explanation" at her house later, I believe. And I think Benito said that she's been acting different lately ever since they saw Feo and Crabi kissing in Puebla. Correct? Benito suspects something!

I think he had a scene with Eugenia, too, but I don't remember how they left it.
 

Connie, I think you could end every recap with that:

"Feo acted like a jerk"
 

great, succinct 'cap, Julie. Benito went to the market, and saked for another chance with Eugenia, she said "No", with tears in her eyes. Later, hortensia told Eugebia that she should reconsider, because H. knows that E. still has feelings for Benito, for Rigo, not so much....Crabi was at her very crazy, abusive, passive-aggressive, woe-is-me-self last night. Too bad that Slofia gave in, didn't she say that she was going to forgive la senora? Blehh. And then Jimena choses to go home with the bitch, after she catches Feo and her hugging, and after she hurls horrible insults at Oscar. i think the previews hint that j. changes her mind on that one. We'll see...
 

THANK YOU JULIE!! I think this was the first time in all my years of recapping that I just forgot. It was my turn but I didn't even know it was Thursday, I was so busy. Sorry, everybody.
 

Good point, julie. I couldn't figure out whether Grabi was really upset at the thought of being rejected by Slofia, or was pretending to be. Usually Diana Bracho's acting is very clear about what she is doing. For example, it was quite clear that she was pretending with Jimena. NJ Sue
 

It is really sad that you did not think it was important enough to view the show. There are viewers like myself who do not understand Spanish but enjoy looking at the novela and depend on the blog to confirm or translate what transpied during each episode.
 

Julie thanks!
I thought Crabi was acting genuinely distraught when she thought Sofia was rebuffing her, but it's hard to tell. Maybe she just didn't like how it felt to be dumped.
Did Crabi hire Feo to be the foreman of Hacienda San Augie? Is that why he was out there running a crew in the fields?

Oh, almost forgot: Melinama, apologies accepted out here on the West Coast, although we will now hold a contest to see what your punishment will be! I believe some of your readers are already very talented in the creation of snarky punishments!

Anonymous 08:13: You just criticized our blogmom, who laboriously recapped ALL of Amor Real all by herself. She started this blog which helps folks like you lacking Spanish and gives those of us with more Spanish a chance to read snarky comments and make some of our own. Your comment does not sit well with those of us who've visited here for a long time.

Damn it sucks to be you. Wow, as a recaper I can understand how it must totally make your day suck, because God forbid someone slipped up. Yeah I can understand your angst, what with the ginormous salaries we all get paid to translate this dribble for persons like yourself.

Try watching a TV show like Gray's (I assume English is your native language) and then sit down and write down all the details, conversations, action and implied action, let me know how that works out for you.

I hope you can forgive us and won't be forced to help yourself.
 

Thanks, Julie , and no problemo , Melinama. It was just the same old , same old anyway. I still don't understand much Spanish, but I knew that not much was happening. I am very grateful for this site. Thank you, Melinama for providing it for us. I really don't know what I'd do without it. Thank you.
 

Even though Crabi was harsh and degrading to Oscar regarding his appearance, you think he could have brushed himself off and tried to rub the dirt off his face before he arrived back in town. He should have taken a dip with or without his tighty whities at the nearby river. It worked for Juan.

Now that that rant is done...
My favorites about last night..

Raquels dress, in the animal print, it was a bit snug...Meow you go cougar.

Personally I think Raquel would be much easier to jump than Crabi...but the womens love Feo..the ladies man.

Now my other favorite part was when Franco moved...I mean he has done it before, but of course no one ever sees cause really the visit is all about them and they can't shut up long enough.
My husband was reading a magazine and didn't see it, I said hey Franco moved and he said what?

I said his finger and said just like this (only that wasn't the same finger I held up and rotated)..My husband said really..No not really, but trust me Franco was thinking it.
 

The Gabby thing was an act.She was trying to throw off suspicion.
I thought the remote control rocking horse was cool. Even cooler how Franco seemed to be running it with that tiny remote strapped to his finger.
And I love how the doctor told them that Franco would have a complete recovery. Based on what? A finger wiggle. Frickin amazing!!
I don't know about you but unless I wacked my head I'd remember tripping over a wire.One more thing: Somebody sane needs to sit down and talk to Sofia about histrionics and how they can actually bring on labor.I want to just slap her for the endangered hijo's sake.Somebody plz teach her some Lamaze breathing if she isn't going to refrain from harms way.mhm
 

Thanks for putting this together Julie and thanks Melinama (I know you disregard ignorance).

I agree with you all that normally Diana Bracho is very clear with her emotions but it wasn't obvious what she was doing. My guess is that since Crabi is a control freak she was actually sad that Sofia was rejecting her (nevermind Crabi has rejected Sofia)
 

People, people, people, Gabby hates Sofia.It was an act (apparently a good one). Gabriela is jealous of Sofia. First it was jealousy of the relationship Sofia had with her husband (Sofia's father). Now that she is doing the act with her son-in-law she is jealous of the "love" he had for Sofia.If she could she would have lit Sofia's bed on fire. mhm
 

Anon 9:46--ROFL just picturing the unconscious Franco controlling the little rocking horse by wriggling the remote control strapped to his finger!
Also re: Crabi--usually when she is being two-faced, she does that eye-roll thing as a visual clue, but we didn't see that at the Sofia bedside scene. Diane Bracho must not be able to walk out in public without FELS fans pelting her with tomatoes...or do they do that in Mexico?
"Creemelo"
 

So now that Feo wants to marry Crabi, he will have to divorce Sofia or agree to the anulment.
I think that Crabi is jealous of all of her daughters, even Snarlita.
I wonder if Jimena is going to be making bread now.
 

Hi, Melinama -- I think you captured the essence of the show -- best part of which was indeed Crabi & Feo locked in embrace in broad daylight and in public! But is she a mujer suela? - Caramba! Why not, since she calls everyone else mujer suela for far lesser deeds than she is committing herself with SIL. Caramba!

That little thing on Franco's finger is the heart monitor, it's not a little remote control -- don't forget that we are in the land that time forgot where radioactivity makes everyone able to do magic tricks like moving things by will power and finger with clip on it! Did anyone notice if the little rocking horse glows (like Libia's flower glows)?

Diana Bracho has been doing a lot of damage control for her image by going on a lot of tv talk shows and talking about her performance as Crabi in the 3rd person (to distance from herself) and laughing a LOT, saying her performance is hilarious because it's soooo evillll as to be unbelievable. Caramba again! Noooo, senora, you are tooo believable in this role, which I think is part of the fascination for all of us watching every night -- she has one of the few non-stupid roles, with some real lines, and she gets to share in Feo's snazzy theme music sometimes.

That little thing on Franco's finger is the heart monitor, it's not a little remote control - Really?
 

Anon 10:09
Crabi does indeed hate Sofie, the jealously thing, you nailed it exactly.
But really, I want to smack Sofie myself, that deer in the headlights naive thing. Jeez, I thought Lety in Fea was naive, please she was a street wise grifter compared to Sofie.

I think the awesome thing about Crabi (besides the fact that she gets to smack everyone around), is that while she is the coldest, woman since Lady MacBeth, the smell of cigar smoke and she is game for doing things Nuirka wouldn't do, and that is saying alot. She seriously just turns to jelly at the thought of Fer. It is kind of like watching some weird animal mating thing on Animal Planet. You watch not cause it is hawt, it is just so bizarre.

Fer will be her downfall.
 

I did some research on Mujerzuela. Although it is a synonym for tramp or slut, it literally means "little woman".
However, I believe it originally meant "mistress" like the French term "Petite Amie". Petite Amie literally means "little friend" .mhm
 

julie - thanks for the recap.
melinana - thanks for this blog site and all you do for us.

I can't even find 'mujerzuela' in my pocket Oxford span/eng dictionary. How polite. LOL I always have heard it used in the context of slutty or trampy or promiscuous women.

Finaly! Sofi will get her marriage annulment now that Feo & Craby will get married (ew!) It is weird how Crabby turns to jelly over Feo. Sick. Totally sickeroo.

!!! Last night (Friday) did anyone else see Oscar's socks and top of an ankle boot in that scene, near the end of the episode, where he's in bed with Jimena??? That was too funny. I don't think the camera was meant to pick that up. LOL

I'm out of town until Thurs. and will rely on recaps & foro to keep me updated. No time to watch that many recordings...er... no time to FFWD through that many recordings. ;-)

Thanks all, for the comments that aided with understanding the episode. Melinama, you are human and although it was kind of you to apologize for forgetting, you don't really owe it to us . Afterall you are doing us a favor by maintaing the blog. I don't agree with the anon who said it is sad etc ... Nor do I agree with the persons who find it necessary to come to your defense. Usually comments like theirs only create a back and forth of off topic remarks until you step in and put an end to it. Some comments are best ignored.
 

Doris--I, too, thought I caught a glimpse of Oscar's boot in the sexy bedroom scene. But that means the actor would have had to take off his boots to get his pants off, then put his boots back on. Probably because walking around the set in bare feet would be a health and safety violation...
LOL when Quintana and Pablito walked in on the couple in bed, and Quintana says "Why don't you put a sign on the door, 'do not disturb, Oscar at work'..."

Hi everybody, no I was dumb and had a senior moment or several days worth of them, thanks for forgiving me and coming to my defense. This show has gotten on my last nerve. Luckily Becky has volunteered to take my slot when Guapos is finished!
 

Thanks for the quickie recap! And Melinama, many of us have had senior moments but with this particular novela, it can happen alot!!

Heck, all of us have lives, the olympics are on, it's summer and people are on vacations, kids are home from college......many things are going on for alot of people.

We commentators appreciate recaps long and short because we appreciate the recappers!

I am guilty of just reading recaps lately because I have almost given up on this novela. But there is hope that soon there will be a better one. In the meantime, this one is good to mock!
 

I think it's funny that the expression "Sin pelos en la lingua" (without hairs on the tongue)means to not mince words.How do the customers of the Reyes Bros. Bakery communicate at all?mhm
 

I wonder if Oscar and the boots is intentional or an inside joke maybe. Remember the cute (by this novela's standards any way) scene with him and Jimena in her room? She won't look at him and he's preening and talking about how much someone should be looking at him. He threatens to go out on the balcony naked, except for his boots. He says that a REyes/cabillero/ranchero -- God knows what since I wasn't listening closely doesn't take his boots off. Not much of an explanation, but perhaps it's relevant.
 

Okay Travelin' Lady, it works for me. If they want to keep their boots on, why full speed ahead I say!
BTW, I couldn't help thinking that Juan should have been following along after the ambulance on Capricho...
