Fuego, Monday 8/25 (#84): Cuatro! Cuatro Reyes! Bwa ha ha ha ha!!
Juan and Sofi claim the prize. The unnamed man from Hacienda Los Angeles gets the trophy. Juan gets the cash. Coyote quietly tells Juan that the Boss is very happy that the contest was won by a Reyes.
Juan seems to hesitate at this for a moment, but he's much too excited to wonder who the Boss is or why a total stranger would say such an odd thing. He tells Sofi the silver spurs she gave him brought him luck. He apologizes to Rosendo for defeating him, but says he needs the money for his child. Rosendo says Juan deserves it, and they hug. Pablito and Quintina join the fan club meeting. Pablito says he wants to be just like Juan. Juan says he already is - being a Reyes.
Eladio - I think it's Eladio - gives a pro-chile speech. Oscar's sweating over a chili pepper. He offers a bite to Jimena. It's a bit hot for her. Eladio wraps up his speech and encourages the crowd to partake.
Oscar samples another pepper, and Jimena, being very gullible, agrees to try that one too. Again, it's too much. He gives her a big peppery kiss just to make sure she gets the full effect!
Rigo is trying to get mushy with Eugenia when Benito shows up. "So you're still with Rigo's girlfriend even though you're really in love with me?" She answers "Yes... I mean yes I'm still going with Rigo. And in front of him I'm telling you not to come near me." He makes a weird face trying not to cry.
Rosario seems to have forgotten her blouse (she is wrapped in a shawl). Franco wants to talk. She refuses and says she doesn't love him. Sarita comes along a moment later and asks if he's okay. He says he's confused. She smiles and offers to listen. Eavesdropping nearby, Rosario hopes her sacrifice pays off for Sarita.
Now for the singing and dancing. Rosario goes first and dedicates a song to her child. Feo is angry that she's singing without his permission. He orders Armando to nab Rosario when she's done. Then Raquel finds Feo and he tells her not to make a jealous scene. She wants a kiss.
Meanwhile, Gabi is looking for him. (I didn't notice the first time around, but he and Raquel are actually smooching in the upper right of the frame as Gabi wanders in at the lower left.) Coyote finds Gabi and asks if they can hang out. She says she doesn't take invitations from strangers. He says that if they try, they can stop being strangers! Feo finds them and says he was looking for her. She tells Coyote they're engaged. Surprised, Coyote congratulates them with daggers in his eyes. He excuses himself and takes longer kissing her hand than Feo would like.
Gabi grills Feo on his whereabouts. She says Coyote was bugging her because he left her alone. If he keeps disappearing like that, she'll end up responding to that guy's overtures. She beams at Coyote, who is watching from a distance. Coyote grins smugly in acknowledgment.
Next, Pedro sings atop a prancing horse. (That cannot be easy.)
So Armando tries to get Rosario to go with him, but she's uncooperative. He comments on how cocky she is and has the henchmen grab her. Pedro tries to rescue her, so they start beating him up. Armando is ready to give him a good punch when Coyote shows up, discreetly indicates the gun tucked into his belt (his belt buckle says "COYOTE," I wonder if his mommy wrote that on the tags of his shirt and underwear too) and tells Armando that if he touches Pedro, he's DEAD.
And wow, that's some ring he's wearing, it's like a giant iron knuckle that would leave a grille on your face.
Coyote warns Pedro off with his eyes. Thusly emboldened, Pedro gives Armando a scornful look and takes off with Rosario.
The festival draws to a close. The contest gets to crown the queen of the festival. You'll never guess who that is... oh all right, it's Sofi. Juan seems confused by the complicated tiara and simply hands it to her so that she can put it on herself. Franco sings his usual song. He picks Sarita out of the crowd for a dance.
Meanwhile, Feo and Gabi argue (we don't hear any of it, but can assume they're arguing about the usual) and she leaves alone.
Later Pedro meets up with his brothers to congratulate Juan on his win. Armando tells Juan Feo wants to "talk" to him. The guys are skeptical and insist on accompanying Juan. (They joke that Feo gives them "mieo," obvious a pun on "miedo"=fear, but I can't find a definition for "mieo.")
Armando shows them to a room that has bales of hay in it (there's so much hay the outdoors can't hold it all!). Feo challenges Juan to some poker. If he wins, he gets Juan's winnings from the jaripeo. If Juan wins, he gets double.
Juan turns it down, but since money is involved, Oscar is in favor. Franco says they shouldn't be greedy. Pedro suggests letting Juan decide. (I love Pedro!) Juan accepts the challenge.
The tequila girl is looking at Juan's cards and stroking her neck in a weird way. Feo responds by raising. (Armando is standing behind Feo, but he's not giving Juan any help at all. Too bad. He's got a cigarette... he could signal him with puffs of smoke.) Juan folds, and Feo wins the first round. (A goofy onscreen graphic lends a "poker tournament" feel to the scene.)
Juan seems to like his next hand a little better. The tequila girl looks at Juan's cards and sticks some fingers out at Feo as she slowly sets Juan's glass on the table. Feo raises again. Juan sees him and raises. (Oscar and Franco suspect something's up.) Feo has the better hand. (I can't make out the individual cards, but the artwork has a chile pepper motif!)
Juan's funds are running low, and it's not a good sign when he asks for four new cards. The tequila girl comes in and Oscar throws her out (politely, of course - "we don't want any") when he sees her craning to look at Juan's hand again. Nevertheless, Feo wants Juan to go all in. Juan agrees. Feo is smug, but the joke's on him. Juan slaps down four kings. "I beat you with Poker de Reyes!"
Feo doesn't take it well and demands a rematch - double or nothing - "between gentlemen it's a question of honor." Only Oscar is in favor this time. Feo deals. Juan smirks at his hand and asks for only one card. Feo needs three. He tries to snake some cards out of his sleeve. Oscar catches him. The henchmen draw their guns. But like a creepy guardian angel, Coyote shows up quietly in the doorway. I'm starting to like this guy. Feo and his guys slowly put their guns away.
"Let's go!" Juan says, grabbing their money. Oscar tries to take Feo's remaining money too. Juan reminds him it was supposed to be a game between gentlemen, so they'll take only what they won.
Coyote's not still in the doorway when the Reyes turn around and leave. They never knew he was there.
Sofía asks Rosario if she's sure she's willing to give up Franco. Rosa says it's both for Sarita's happiness and Franco's safety. Sofía tells her how great she is. Rosario begs her to keep this secret - don't even tell Juan. Sofi says she tells Juan everything They have no secrets or lies. (Except for his secrets and lies.) Rosario asks for at least a little time to get her life in order and figure out what to do. Feo's capable of destroying anyone who crosses his path. She's afraid for Sofía.
Sofi realizes that her mother is in danger being engaged to Feo. She resolves to warn her.
Feo wants to get his money back. Armando tells him he needs to stop gambling because luck is not on his side. Feo is offended. Armando says something just occurred to him - why is Feo so sure that the Reyes are lying about owning the Uribe hacienda? They should look into it. Feo just gets grumpy again.
Sofía does not approve that Juan gambled the prize money. Juan says Feo challenged him, and his pride got the better of him. Oscar and Franco squabble over who gets to "safeguard" it. Juan knows better and takes it. He wants to try to get the hacienda back with it, or save it for an emergency. (I think this is a nice idea, but Feo deserves something for his trouble too. Maybe something to wear. "Somebody got four kings and all I got was this crummy t-shirt!")
Jimena has prepared their dinner. We don't get to find out if it's any good. As Oscar lifts some food to his mouth, we see he's stashed some of the money up his sleeve. (That's it, you and Feo can't play together any more! He's a bad example!) Franco sighs to himself about Rosario.
Rosario is sighing about Franco. Feo confronts her for singing at the festival without his permission, but she's not in the mood to be threatened. She says she won't take his abuse any more. The docile Rosario, who put up with his whims and did what he wanted, died in the fire. She's thinking of talking to Gabi. Feo threatens to tell everybody what she's capable of and what she was in prison for - they'll all reject her - beginning with Sofi and Eva.
She says she's willing to pay for the errors of her past. If necessary, she'll do it. She defiantly states, "We'll see who loses more - you or me?"
Feo and Gabi argue again. She demands that he stay away from Raquel, or he'll lose her. Feo says no, he knows her passion for him grows more every day. She denies it and says he will never be the boss of her or have the last word, because she's used to giving the orders and it'll always be that way.
He wrestles her and says she's always wanted to find a man of her level, and she's found the man who can satisfy her and drive her crazy with passion. (He backs her up against her easel, I think, and knocks it over.) At last they have the house to themselves and can love each other freely. Gabi can't answer this because her mouth has an extra tongue in it.
Sofi tells Juan that her mom and Feo are getting married. Juan mutters that he knew they were having a thing, but didn't realize they'd be getting married. Sofía is surprised he knew something. Juan admits Oscar saw them kissing, but he didn't say anything because they didn't want to worry her or the sisters.
Sofía should wonder what other things they haven't been worrying her about, but all she can think about is warning her mother. Juan tries to discourage this, knowing Gabi won't be receptive.
Then Sofi cheers up, remembering that if Feo gets married, she can too. Juan's ready to hire the mariachis and caterers.
Mexico airdate: 15 de Mayo
Next time:
Gabi promises Feo she'll disinherit the kids and name him as her only heir. (insert obligatory "what a fool" remark here)
Juan reveals that his father had a brother - Vicente Robles. (insert obligatory "how come you never mentioned this uncle before" remark here)
Raquel wonders how her husband came to own this hacienda without any papers. Juan settles on the same theory we came up with weeks ago.
Sofi warns her mother that Feo is a jerk.
Juan seems to hesitate at this for a moment, but he's much too excited to wonder who the Boss is or why a total stranger would say such an odd thing. He tells Sofi the silver spurs she gave him brought him luck. He apologizes to Rosendo for defeating him, but says he needs the money for his child. Rosendo says Juan deserves it, and they hug.

Unrelated bonus: Check out this video. Yes, I know it's the Wiggles and it makes me a little queasy, but scroll a bit to see who's in it... Fernando Colunga, Cesar Evora, Aracely Arambula, and two other people I've never heard of but maybe you have.
If it wasn't so darn late I'd check for this on YouTube.
Susanlynn, I thought of you during this episode... actually I was thinking of a Highlander where Amanda plays cards with someone. She's faking a French accent and asks him if he's afraid of a little "whisk." She wins the card game with "two pairs... of QUEENS."

Well Julie, it looks like the whole Caray Caray blog gang will really like the Wiggles -- they have pirates AND bakers! and they sing! Sound like familiar themes?
Thanks for the Fast Recap! and for the Wiggles!

Thanks for the recap.
Did Juan just not have the worst poker face evah? When the game first started I kept waiting for Fer to ask Juan if he needed to use the bano? Maybe that is just Juan's really I'm thinking and it is quite an effort face.
Wondering about the missing uncle Vincent? Sofie has never asked Juan what his beloved sister's name was? She is just much beloved, but nameless dead sister.

Julie, Julie, Julie...you always make me laugh. Crabiela can't answer "because her mouth has an extra tongue in it!!!!! You are wicked and are going to burn, lady! Too funny.
Missed the show and probably will for a while (Eve of Cleveland has me watching Amor Real and I'm HOOKED) but I would never miss one of this team's recaps.

Thanks Julie, I wondered if anyone saw Coyote save the poker game. It was great to have an episode in which Juan didn't cry. Pedro's even temper, sensibility, and good nature easily offsets his hairiness.
I don't know what to say about Wiggles??? Glad I had breakfast before I watched it.
Thanks for the heads up, comadre Cakes. I caught the Sofia smack down of Furd replay.
And a shout out to Rosario. See what happens when you stop crying and stand up for yourself. She should talk to Eva...

Funny recap, Julie!
Did anyone watch Cristina last night - Gaby Rivero was on (Fortunata on Pasion) with her husband and two daughters sitting in the audience and her youngest daughter sitting onstage with her (she was Tita, Ursula's daughter, on Pasion). Gaby was very talkative and fun and said she had given up working to raise her family.
Does Coyote really have the hots for Gabriela or does he just want to rile Feo?

Julie: Bwa ha ha ha!!! Great recap for another silly chapter in the ongoing saga of the Reyes/Robles/Elizondo Dysfunctional Family Championship Series.
Beckster: I'm with Juan's facial expression whenever he tries to think...he ends up looking painfully constipated. Or he does his simpleton head scratch. Kill the director!
Loved Feo & Crabi crashing through the set during their squicky lust fest. At first, the camera panned to follow them & it seemed like "oops, there's a fake wall here" & then, BAM! Feo & Crabi knock it down so we don't miss a second of their (gag) passion. Fire the editing staff!
Feo & Crabi's silent argument? Um, was that intentional? We get to hear background noise galore but not an argument between the 2 leading antagonists? Fire the sound man!
Coyote: an enigma wrapped in a puzzle. He's really a good guy...?? Go figure...maybe we have yet another Reyes/Robles to add to the group. Let's make it Cinco! (or should it be Sinko, as in this ship of fools is ready to sinko any minute)

Thanks for the recap.
Where can I get a dancing horse? I just have to have one! That was totally awesome. Maybe we should change Coyote's name to Guardian Angel. I'm starting to like him too.
While watching the poker game I was wondering how they got all that testosterone in one room!
So when Crabi was yelling at Feo we weren't supposed to hear what they were saying? I thought there was something wrong gwith my TV.

Julie: Thanks for the speedy, wonderful recap. I'll watch the wiggles later. Thanks for that, too.
The queen's crown? Egad, it didn't fit on her head. Sofia had to hold on to it so that it wouldn't fall off, or maybe become tangled up with the green ribbon (ugh) woven into her braids.
Then there were Rosario's earrings. They must have been custom-made for her. Just completely distracting.
Now on to Gabi's outfit. She's appeared in similar get-ups, but last night was el supremo. She wore a leather jacket, a hat with a pony tail sticking out the back and a shawl. This lady just doesn't go for glamor. She's right in telling Fer that she'll wear the pants in the family.
Finally, Sofi and Rosi are finding the courage and will to fight back. That's one for the girls, but, we all know that Fer isn't going to take this for long.
The Coyote had me fooled. Coyote and Gabi? Actually, she'd probably be better off with him.
Yes, it's time for Sofia to go see mommy and put her life in danger again.

The bigger question is why anyone is interested in Crabi. Ex her $$, she's an unbearable, sanctimonious, self-righteous beyotch who likes to torch her children and fancies herself a painter. Talk about a narcissist!
Oh yeah, Rosi's earrings. I guess she & Jimena have a little door knocker contest going on.

julie - thank you for the great snarky recap and aside comments. :-D
I've never heard of The Wiggles, and to me, none of those people looked like our TN folks. But the resolution on the youtube video was pretty bad on my monitor. Wah! Was Colunga the pirate???
Coyote - I'm starting to think he's batting for Team Robles/Reyes. Weird guy, it'll be interesting to see how that all unfolds.
Did anyone else get the feeling that Mr. Big was standing behind Coyote when he stopped the fight? Could Big be the Uncle Robles? If so, why on earth didn't he find those kids and raise them himself?
Here are some horses that dance beautifully:

I'm sick of the whole Franco thing too. I don't think he deserves Sarita or Rosario. Does he only know 1 song? At least we didn't have to hear Rosario sing her Bom Bom song. Yuck.
I want Coyote to put the smackdown on Feo sooooooo bad. I wonder if and/or how the Big Boss fits in to the Brotherhood of the Snake. Hmmmmm

Connie, be fair. Franco knows TWO songs. (Two! Two songs! Bwahahaha!!) The usual one and the Ave Maria song.
Now Uncle Vince. We don't know what-all the Hacienda Los Angeles guy said to Juan the other night. Obviously he asked him to compete at the jaripeo, but maybe he said some other things. Like "remember that guy who used to say 'pull my finger' and 'gotcher nose'? That was me. I'm your uncle Vince!"
Just a wild guess. I figure there's got to be a reason why Juan is suddenly talking about this uncle.
I thought Feo and Grabby knocked over an easel, but perhaps they did go through the fake wall. In any case, I just thought it was funny. I'll take any distraction I can get when Crabi and Feo are getting it on.
As for the silent argument, the sound was probably bad on that scene and they realized there was nothing to be gained by redubbing the conversation (I'm sure they just argued about the usual, "Raquel blah blah blah.")
I'm not sure about Coyote and Gabi. I doubt that he wants to date her, I'm pretty sure he's trying to use her against Feo in some way, but he's sure taking his time. And making Feo nervous...
YouTube Wiggles - Thanks, PanQue! I'm in the office today so can't watch it till tonight. I can't wait. ;-)

Thanks for the recap, Julie, very well done. I was a couple minutes late in turning on last night, missed Sofia's smack on Feo, but did catch Juan ROARING at him. It truly was a roar. I think that Feo is beginning to fear los Reyes, they seem to be protected (by Libia?), they are invincible. Everyone is standing up to Feo- Sofia, Crabi,Rosario, Pad Tad, Armando (sort of). He's losing his power over everyone, he needs to be successful in one of his hits, he is going to try to hit someone soon...This Coyote cahracter is becoming more interesting to me, too. I'm trying to think of soemthing nasty that he has done to anyone, other than to Feo, inorder to emphasize the need to repay a debt, even then, he was surprisingly "gentle", and gave Feo several ops to make good. Maybe Coyote is not the bad guy that I have assumed that he was, maybe his Jefe is not the mobster that I've assumed all along...Did the clueless Reyes bros really not see Coyote and buddy with their guns in their belts?...gotta run...
Julie thanks for reminding me about Ave Maria. That one is even worse than his other one.
Is the uncle supposed to be the father of Pedro or is this a different uncle? Since Juan is the Keeper of All Thins Reyes you'd think he would have mentioned it sooner.
What happened to the picture of Libia? I thought it was in the sewing basket but when Jimena picked it up the picture was gone.

I think coyote is one of those people, like Tony Sorprano, who can be a really nice guy & who kinda hates bullies, but if you cross him...Swim with the fishes.
Loved the green braids, I don't believe I have seen that shade wound through those braids, since Robin Hood nailed Maid Marion in Sherwood Forest. I would wonder how Sofie finds the time, but then when small woodland creatures help you in the fairy kingdom, it is possible.
My fingers literally itch at the thought of making Sofie go on "What Not to Wear", A New York MakeOver.
Also my husband asked me last night if Sofie needed a blood transfusion as she is so wan and pale.

I see from yesterday's comments that some of you Fuego folks are watching Doña Bárbara. Me too. If you like, we can have a DB discussion here on Caray like we do for Pasión de Gavilanes.
Let me know.
Let me know.
Julie as always you had me rolling! And thank you so much for the very funny yet totally gross "Gabi can't answer this because her mouth has an extra tongue in it."
Feo is kind of reminding me of JR Ewing from the old Dallas series. He does jerk really well!
Coyote is awesome, at first he kind of creeped me out, now I'm liking him.
Okay, I have to defend my boy Franco, he has three songs! Remember he sand one to Rosie by the fire when they were doing it. And how come there was no, "hey Pedro, you sing too?" moment. Those two have barely interacted.
Just when I think my lovely Oscar has a brain he is all greedy again. And what is with him and all the food! Does he have to be such a pig when he eats? I know they had a rough up bringing, but Franco and Jaun aren't like that. Sheesh!
Lastly, something was on Univision last night at 1am, yes I was up way to late. Anyway, I have no clue what it is, but there was a young Fr. Tadeo and boy was he hot! I'm just saying, should he ever lose the faith, I'd love to see him go for a swim with the boys!

jean - I enjoyed the DB "best of" they broadcast yesterday afternoon. Even if I did not understand half of what they said. ;-)
And just as we had a swimming hole scene (yes! on DB! I may have to tune in regularly) we had a "This is a Test" from my local network. Aaaaauuugh!

Doris: You may have already checked this out but if not, find out if your TV can get CC3. Most recent TVs have multiple close caption channels. You usually choose in the menu on your TV. Doña Barbara is broadcast with English captions on CC3. Yes, that was an interesting waterhole scene in the early episode. Since in a later episode, a guy gets eaten by pirañas in some similar river, I'm not sure I'd go bathing there, especially naked.
Thanks for the recap, Julie. It was excellent as always.
For anyone interested in the Fuego en La Sangre tour (with Los Tres Reyes and Ninel Conde), the first concert has been rescheduled for November 9th. It is still being held in Hidalgo, Texas. Tickets are on sale at Ticketmaster, and excellent seats are still available!

Julie: the wall/easel scene...didn't mean to contradict what you recapped but I thought it was a fake wall from the set. What cracked me up was the fact that they didn't edit out the mistake. What are they paying the production staff...loaves of Juan's hairy bread? If they don't get a raise, I guess we get more "oops" moments in filming.

Pedro is from their mother's side of the family. Uncle Vicente is from their father's side of the family. But it's still weird that after months of acting as though they have no living relatives, suddenly both their parents had siblings. Weird!
The photo in the sewing basket - what happened was that after Jimena found the frame to be empty, Quintina thought-bubbled how lucky it was that she decided at the last minute to take the photo out and hide it somewhere else.
Which makes no sense, but hey, she's Quintina! Give her a kiss! :-)

You are right Julie it doesn't make any sense. But then again, look who we are talking about! :-p
I'd much rather look at a fake wall than watch Feo and Crabi doing the nasty. Ewwwwww!
It's about time to put the hijo in danger again so I guess Sophia will go see her "mother." If someone treated me that way I'd never speak to them again.

Good and gamey recap.How could it not be, with the two evil ones going at it like weasels?
My teenage son walked in and asked "Why are you watching people play poker?" I replied" Better question:Why is the dumbest one playing for the good guys?" I think I nodded off during the game.
Anyway, I stumbled upon an amazing page of Mexican slang. Below is the link.mhm

Naw, you were probably right about the fake wall, Maggie. It was a great touch. I'm glad they left it in.
So does anyone know what "mieo" is? It is something... some kind of slang... I just can't figure out what.
If I were in Sofia's shoes, I think the most I would do for Crabi is write her a letter. "Dear Mom. I hate to tell you this, but Feo only 'loves' you for your money. You can easily test this theory by offering him only sex and no money. Try it and see what happens. Good luck! Love, your daughter or someone's, Sofia."
And if Crabi wrote back, I'd have dogs sniff the letter before I opened it...

Okay, now I know that Sofia is SOS, Stuck On Stupid!
Is really going to go back to talk to her mother. Hasn't she figured out yet that every time she goes back there, something happens to her.
I'm beginning to like Coyote too. Maybe he will be the one to tame Gabi.

Hilarious recap, Julie. Why would Juan and his bros think a poker game with Feo was a good idea considering they know what a lying, cheating scumbag he is. Juan is really really dumb and irresponsible to take a chance on losing all that cash considering his spawn is on the way.
Maybe it was my TV but when greedy Oscar was scarfing down the hot chilis, was his nose running? I saw some horrible stuff on his face before he kissed Jimena. Ugh!
Currently I hate all the cast except Pedro, Pablito, Mariachi, Donkey and Caprichio. But I continue watching.

Yes, Coyote is totally fascinating me. For some reason I get the feeling he may really have a thing for Crabi, strange as that may seem. But his sudden helpfulness to the Reyes is completely mystifying.
If Sofía really goes go up to the hacienda alone again, I think I'll scream loud enough to stop her in her tracks. I am fed up with the endangering the hijo repetitions.
The dancing horse in a ring thing is a fairly common Mexican singer trope. I'm pretty sure I've seen footage of Vicente Fernandez doing it. And I saw footage of the supposed father of the heroine of Amor Sin Maquillaje (of which I saw one week and gave up) with the dancing horse. That horse last night was the best I've seen though. Wow, we may not want to know what training methods they use to get them to do that.
And, Jean, if we put up a place for comments about Doña Bárbara, I'd really enjoy that. But I don't know if full recaps were what you had in mind. That might be a bit much, especially since it's several weeks into it. I think Doña Bárbara is terrific, way better than Fuego. I keep watching Fuego for the community here and that's it.

I still don't understand why Juan would put all that hard earned money in jeopardy. He ended up getting the best out of the deal but still....He's not the sharpest tack in the drawer. And don't give the money to Oscar...He puts it in the oven!
Yes, but you guys, Uncle Vince is Vicente Fernandez Jr -- thus the dancing horse! which he does Very Well!
I thought Juan had a great poker face--NOBODY would ever guess he was holding the winning hand with a face like that!
Also love the belt buckle labels on these guys -- Snake buckle, COYOTE buckle -- good thing the girls aren't wearing belts with big buckles too!

I also am tired of the 2 most repeatedly sung Franco songs. The one he did really well was Deja que Salga la Luna -- the Serenata to Sofia from Feo where Juan took off to bay Sofiiiiiaaaa at the moon while popping heelies on Capricho. Sing that one again, Franco.
Don't you guys think it's kind of an anomaly that Pablo Montero actually has this kind of repertoire for his real-life performances? Seems like he'd sing something more rap-ish or something more something else...
Que opinan Vds?

I think we should all get Coyote belt buckles. Just think how nice it will look with our rooster shirts!
Julie~~~Thanks for a great recap full of laughs. I would like to see that t-shirt on Feo. And, I know the episode of Highlander that you are talking about. Amanda was such a great character...so good but soooo bad. She could always tempt Duncan into helping her with her crazy schemes [except when he was with his Onetruelove, Tessa]. I loved the first episode that introduced Amanda . She was performing in a traveling circus , and Duncan ''felt'' her presence as he was sitting with Tessa and Richie watching her on the tightrope. One of my alltime favorite lines was spoken by Tessa when Amanda came to the barge looking for Duncan ; ''Well, we can't all wear rhinestones on our bodysuits and live under the3 bigtop.'' Ever since I heard that line, I've been on the lookout for a bodysuit with rhinestones on it. Anyway, back to this show....This episode had a lot happening. I loved Coyote [of all people] turning out to be the Protector of the Reyes/Robles boys...He and the guys came to Pedro's rescue while Pedro was trying to rescue Rosario and later he was there for the bros when Feo and Armando pulled their guns. I also like the way he is playing Feo by pursuing Crabby [Que the hell is THAT about ??? He can't really have the hots for her !!!] And, I , too, thought that Feo and Crabby locked in love's embrace knocked over Crabby's easel. She is an awful artist...I hope thst they broke it. And...what is up with Rosario's earrings ???? How about a tasteful stud sometimes ...just for a change and to give your neck a rest??? That poker game made me very nervous.

Julie, it was a great recap of an interesting episodio! THanks!
Where do I sign up for the Coyote Fan Club? I wanna howl at the moon! El Coyote is now--to me at least--mysterious and fascinating (like our Hombre de Misterio).
Also, I totally loved the Frida Kahlo look on Sofia, she ought to find one look that works and stick with it. Without the green ribbon.

I don't know if they said how much the prize money was. Not that I noticed. But you might be able to figure it out based on the amounts Juan bid during the game (which I did not pay much attention to).
If Feo offered to play double against Juan the first time around, and then double or nothing the second time, then Juan must have quadrupled his money, which isn't bad for a day's work.
I have a theory as to why the Boss didn't pay any attention (via Coyote) to the brothers until very recently: he didn't know they were there. Something they did must have gotten Jefe's attention. But what? Is he friendly with one of Grandpa's friends who helped research the Uribes' property?
I didn't see stuff on Oscar's face (sitting too far away from TV) but he was supposed to be sweating. I would think his nose would be running too. Nice observation. He did look as if he was eating peppers for real.
Novelera, I hope you really can stop Sofi in her tracks with your screaming. There's got to be a way to get through to these people!!
Susanlynn, Rosario did have a chance with a tasteful stud. Remember Bobby from the tour? ;-)

Funny that everyone hated those green ribbons... I was thinking they were an improvement over her usual style (i.e. none).
I really liked Sarita's dress, despite the unfestive brown color.

Julie you crack me up! I tried to braid ribbons in my hair once. It was a mess and looked terrible.
Too bad Coyote doesn't have any hair..otherwise he's pretty cool.

The name belt buckle..I was caught in an 80's flashback, I dated a guy who wore a belt-buckle that read "Dick", his name was Robert.
Now then Crabi is going to disinherit all three daughters? Jeez if she is so eager to pay for it, she could get a much better toy, I mean even Frankie in DA was better than Fer. She could get some serious hawt guy and then Rachel would really sweat it.
Now I myself hate most everything Sarita wears, lately she has been in full Nun mode. At least try something really wild, like let your hair down, try a color with all that dark somber clothing, granted you are a spinster virgin, but you are not dead.

Something about this episode that struck me as strange: If Rosendo won, who was presumably Feo and Crabi's jinete, then Hacienda San Agustin would have won the jaripeo. Feo was spitting nails when they lost because he had gloated with Crabi about getting all that prize money. But when Juan won for Hacienda Los Angeles, JUAN got the money, not the hacendado. I don't recall the unnamed owner of Hacienda Los Angeles kindly agreeing to give Juan the money, unless I spaced it. Or is logic way, way too much to ask?

We never heard the conversation between the hacendado and Juan, but maybe that's the deal they made. Or maybe the hacendado got some cash too and I didn't notice.
Perhaps it's up to the hacendado and the jinete to decide how they'll split up the trophy and cash. It'd be just like Feo to want the majority of the prize and give Rosendo only a little of it, or just give him a trophy.
As for the mysterious Los Angeles guy... we don't officially know why he asked Juan to compete, but I figured the Boss put him up to it. (Or maybe he is the Boss - did they ever say the name of the hacienda that was putting on the jaripeo in the first place?)

julie Buahahahahahaa I was thinking the same thing about beckster's old BF's belt buckle. LOL Maybe a former girlfriend gave it to him and he never 'got' the joke.
FuegoMaggie It would probably cost too much time and money to re-do the fake wall thing. Remember how we saw Feo's microphone, when he and Crabi were ... 'going at it?" There was another scene with someone's mic under her blouse, I think. Mejía probably figures---"oh well, it'll add some color to this production..."

haha...Yes, Julie, you're right..Bobby, the Tasteful Stud. Have you ever read anything by David Sedaris ?? He writes crazy essays about his life and family. He has a very dry, wild sense of humor that I think you would appreciate. I've read 2 of his books : ''Me Talk Pretty Someday'' and ''When You Are Engilfed in Flames'' He reminds me a little of Bill Bryson, but he's much more irreverant. I can't wait to read his other books. And Beckster, that's pretty interesting that a guy named Robert wore a belt buckle with ''DICK'' on it...Maybe he was self aware and was thoughtfully warning people he met in t5he spirit of fair play about his personality. My initials are S.L.Y. , and when I was teaching in high school , I signed a guy's hall pass : '' sly''.He asked me what I meant by that. I guess he thought that I was labeling HIM. Also, when I first started dating hub, I used to call him Dick because that was his dad's name and I knew his dad before I met hub ...he was my busdriver...so Hub started wearing a tieclip with ''MIKE'' on it, and whenever I called him by the wrong name, he would point to ''MIKE''.

Here, enjoy it again -- it's audio only:

I had a belt with a Big Brass buckle engraved with a phoenix wearing a crown and holding a big cross -- unfortunately army surplus from Francisco Franco's Guardia Civil de Espana.

By the way, I think Don Hacendado from Hacienda Los Angeles just wanted to give Juan the chance to win -- so that Crabi wouldn't win. The people of Cd Serdan seem to like Juan a lot -- so it was just camaraderie perhaps -- or maybe they just don't like Crabi & Feo too much & don't want them to win anything anyway.

yipes can't put all thoughts in one little box today for some reason, sorry --
so you noticed that Juan apologized to Rosendo after he won the pot at the jaripeo -- I think whichever Hacienda gets the recognition, but the actual rider gets the actual cash!

Jean, you're amazing, you know where the macho men are! You got me started on La Traicion with the gorgeous Mario Cimarro. It would be great to see anything on Dona Barbara!! There's lots to talk about, with two haciendas full of so many hunky guys on horses. Oh, there's a really good story too...

But it's true that Feo was expecting to get his hands on the prize money. Maybe they both get something.
And not only do the people in town like Juan, I think they're starting to really dislike Gabi. She publicly cussed Juan out for saving her life, she's had multiple hissy fits in church, and just wait till they find out she tried to get rid of their beloved padre. (Not to mention that she's marrying her son-in-law!)
So I guess there are non-Boss-related reasons that guy might have wanted Juan to ride for him. If he's got a hacienda and no horseman, that's reason enough. Still, when Coyote said his boss was glad that a Reyes won the contest, I had a feeling it wasn't a coincidence.
Still unanswered: Why was Boss and/or Coyote so interested in getting Feo to be in the contest in the first place?
(Yes, I have better things to do with my time... I just don't want to do them!)

Maybe the Big Boss wanted to humiliate Feo/Gabi in public or to make a point that they were watching them.
Where was Abuelo when all this was going on?

Old boyfriend, would wear the belt and when someone would call him "Dick", he answer "My name is Robert"; then the person would always say "Why does your....." and that would be the end of it. Strangely except for that rather amusing quirk, pretty much the buckle was right.
Beckster: "pretty much the buckle was right". You are hilarous!!!

First, thanks Julie for giving us another superb recap. You never fail to deliver fun and snark
Juan's poker face proved to be the good way to fake and double fake after all but I couldn't believe they kept missing the barmaid holding up fingers to her throat or fingers down from holding the shot glass. Only the 3rd time did Oscar catch the obvious attempt to signal Feo while plying Juan with firewater. Maybe all the smoke in the room from Feo's cigar and Armando's cigarettes made it hard for all 4 Reyes to think clearly, No wait, they can't seem to do that even in the clear outdoors.
