Fuego, Monday 10/6 (#112): Juan makes gorilla cookies

Feo and Gabi have just formalized their engagement. Nobody feels much like toasting the happy couple, so Gabi lays a guilt trip on them. Sofi stiffly wishes them well and Sarita grudgingly follows suit. Grandpa, clutching Sofía's hand, says nothing. The two daughters take tiny sips of their champagne, then look away disgustedly as Gabi and Feo seemingly proceed to consummate their engagement right there.

Now we embark upon a montage with pan-pipe accompaniment:
  • Juan bonds with the tribe in a barn-raising party.
  • Franco, Q, and Pablito work the fields.
  • Rigo and his family move in with the Reyes.
  • Juan bounces a new baby happily until he remembers something he can't quite remember.
  • Sofi and Sarita make big bucks at their trinket shop. Eva brings Pablito by for some hugs.
  • Rosario continues to be worshiped as a goddess at the Bad Love Bar.
  • Juan verbally defends the tribe against the toothless government guy and the dimestore shaman.
  • Franco tries to talk to Sarita, and she rebuffs him, not letting him see her tears of regret.
  • Franco & co. do more serenades.
  • Sofi prays some more for the safe return of her child.
Juan totes water and firewood, and corrects the breadmaker's technique. Suddenly, he has a flashback about Libia's tomb, the "FR" tree, three little boys with bandannas on their heads, and a glowing lily. He keels over from the shock, landing headfirst in the dough (woohoo! Gorilla cookies with hair!!) and then lands on his ass, screaming in pain.

"Days later," as the caption says, a strange hairy man rides into Serdán on a beautiful white horse. Wait, that's no strange hairy man - it's Oscar with whiskers. There is much rejoicing. Tadeo approaches him eagerly, hoping for good news, but the look in Oscar's eyes betrays disappointment. The townsfolk stand around expectantly. Franco runs to greet him. Eva begs for a happy report. Oscar is silent for a long time as everyone waits tensely. Finally he shakes his head and hugs Franco.

I keep wishing he had hung around the tribal village just long enough for a shave.

Juan tells Silvestre and his crowd of onlookers that he doesn't know where he learned how to bake bread. He's already got a big trayful of several varieties, which he hands out to everyone.

Back in Serdan, Oscar tells them he searched all over and found no sign of either Juan or the child. Sofía shows up a split-second later with Grandpa and Sarita, and Oscar repeats that he didn't find them. Sofi goes into hysterics and begs for it not to be true. Everyone is crying.

Juan's still kneading the dough, working it like a madman. He seems very concerned that the village will run out of bread. He has Silvestre stoke the oven. (Evidently, Silvestre is the only helpful person in this village.)

(Aerial shot of the Hacienda Agustín shows a utility pole right out front, perfect for posting a "lost baby" flyer...)

Sarita tells Grandpa that her mother and Feo left early for Puebla. Grandpa knows why. Sure enough, a judge in the state capital is declaring them married at this very moment. Next thing, they're in bed and it's so gross. He's saying "now you're mine, all mine until we're separated by death." Well, how long can that be?

Dr. Leonora watches Juan toss and turn in his sleep. Just like she learned in med school, she takes her clothes off (I see she's wearing a thong because you wanna be extra-sexy and uncomfortable when you're in the middle of nowhere) and gets into bed with him and takes his oblivious sleepy hand.

Meanwhile, Sofía reprises her Wuthering Heights La Llorona act, wandering the misty moors Dry Ice Woods (previously the Rape Forest), gnashing her teeth and crying for Heathcliff Juan and her child. She encounters a mysterious man, former Dancing With The Stars contestant Cristian de la Fuente, on a white horse. He gets down for a better look, but she has already disappeared into the fog.

At Las Barrancas ("The Ravines"), as the tribal village is apparently called, Juan sleepily takes the Doctora in his arms and kisses her. Then he realizes that she's not... whoever it is that he doesn't remember... and hastily pushes her away and tells her to get dressed. He can't be with her because he doesn't know who he is or where he came from. (She is watching him put his pants on, he's still wearing those black underpants, I keep wondering if she's going to call him Ralph or Calvin based on whatever name is on the tag.) He needs time to remember if he's got a girlfriend or anything. What if he never remembers anything, she asks? He says in that case, maybe he'll stay here and maybe they'll have a relationship. But he just wants time.

Sofi plays with her bell collection and remembers the Dancing Star she saw in the woods. "That man's not from around here. I've never seen him before. Who could he be?"

He's a guy who's staying in a nice place, petting a dog, and looking at an old framed photo of a blond woman and a little girl (looks like Gina from QE) and a little boy. He wonders who that woman in the mist could be.

Sofía lights a candle and remembers Oscar saying he didn't find Juan and the baby. She decides to go looking for the child herself. But evidently not tonight.

Oscar tells Franco he had a funny feeling that Juan had been at this Ravines place, even searched the place from hut to hut, but maybe his compulsion to find Juan made him a little goofy. Franco hesitantly raises the possibility that Juan could be dead.

Juan, smeared in flour, is sniffing one of his world-famous conchas. He's about to take a bite when some guy shows up and tells Juan he's a señalado (a "sign" - a prophet? a prophecy?). He's humble, but he's a señalado. Not just because he saved the doctora's life, but because of the light in his eyes and his great strength. Juan says he's just a guy with no past; he's lost. The guy says that when one feels lost, he should listen to his heart for the answer. His past is in his hands, and the seed he planted in his past will become his future.

Some time later (I'll skipping ahead for storytelling convenience), Juan chases the wise man and asks him to repeat what he said. He tells Juan that men aren't the masters of their own destinies. When they wander off their marked path, something always brings them back. Juan asks, what if they have nothing and nowhere to go back to? In that case, they have to work with what they've got and try to go on. Juan seems unhappy with this advice.

Still later, Juan tells the wise man he can't be happy if he doesn't know his past or who he is. Wise man says nobody really knows who he is, so no need to get all worked up about it. Juan says, "I feel like I've met you before, and all that you're saying, I've heard it before from someone like you." But he can't remember.

Sofi prays some more about finding her child. She still thinks Juan took her away, and with her, all of Sofi's hopes and dreams. Without her daughter, she's nobody. She's a woman without a present and without a future and without a past. (Damn, if only she had that seed the wise man was talking about!)

The Robles-Reyes crops are coming in nicely. Franco says there were times he felt like throwing in the towel, what with all the problems. On one side, Sofi was blaming Juan for stealing their child. On the other side, Gabi was putting their crops at risk. Quintina kept him going, and they got their water back, and they started a serenading business, which had been Oscar's idea in the first place. Oscar's very proud of what Franco was able to accomplish on his own.

Oscar asks about Jimena. Franco says she's had nervous breakdown and word is her mom wants to have her committed.

(And now a cell phone ad featuring La Llorona. She warns travelers that this roadway is a DEAD zone. All of their messages will be lost! Waaaaaah!)

Oscar's upset about Gabi's plan to put Jimena away. Then Franco updates Oscar about that whole business with the water pump at the spring and their father signing it over to her and how she claims he was in love with her, which we know is the opposite of what really happened, and Oscar doesn't buy it either.

Feo notes the change in Gabriela - she no longer has that air of bitterness. She credits him for the change. He suggests that they get dressed and go for a stroll, but Gabi wants to just hang around and screw. She says they won't be able to enjoy their happiness in the city with everyone watching and judging them. And now she's ready for some more sugar. (Dude, she's going to break it!)

Franco and Oscar agree there's no way their dad was ever in love with Gabi, but they wonder why he signed over the rights to the spring. Oscar misses Jimena, but he's worried that if he visits her she'll get worse. Franco suggests talking to Eva to find out what's going on.

Franco again admits he's worried that Juan could be dead, but he's not ready to give up, and he wants to go search for Juan himself. Oscar says they should wait for the crop to come in, and then resume the search together.

They wonder if they should reserve the pastures for grazing, or if they should plant something there. Just then, the Dancing Star comes along and introduces himself as Damián Ferrer. He offers to rent their pastures because he raises horses who need a place to graze. He says they can name their price. Oscar coolly says he'll think about it.

Oscar and Franco step aside to discuss. Oscar of course wants to get big bucks out of the guy, while Franco warns him not to be greedy and wants only what's fair. Oscar says that because Juan wants them to be honorable, he'll do that, but just this time.

Grandpa works out a document with some lawyer saying Feo can have no control over Grandpa's assets, nor over any part of the hacienda that belongs to him. (As I recall, Grandpa still owns 20% of the hacienda that never belonged to Bernardo.) If Feo tries anything with Grandpa's things, he'll be committing a very serious crime. Grandpa gloats.

Feo is thought-bubbling in bed that he enjoys Gabi's passion, but he enjoys her money even more. Gabi asks why he's looking at her that way. He says he's thinking how much he loves her and how happy they'll be.

Oscar and Franco show Damián into the hacienda to discuss price; he'll pay more than a reasonable amount if that's what they need. Oscar starts to agree that that's a great idea, but Franco cuts him off and says no, of course it'll be a fair price and not a cent more. Then Quintina shows up and is impactada at his handsomeness. He smiles in a friendly way and doesn't even blink at her clown-lips. He kisses her hand and she swoons. She says she's in love and demonstrates swoons a few more times.

El Ex-Jefe gets a visit from Coyote, who says he looked everywhere and didn't find Juan, it's like the earth swallowed him up. Ex-Jefe tells him to continue watching out for the Reyes and also keep an eye on Feo. He doesn't believe a word of Feo's version of what happened that night, and if he dared to lie, they'll find out sooner or later and Feo will be sorry.

The sooner-or-later-to-be-sorry man is bragging to Gabi that he's going to make the hacienda the most productive in the region and show everyone that he married for love, not for money like they all think. They'll find out who Feonando Escandon is and and what he's capable of doing for his wife's love.

She moans that she's soooo happy. He wants to go back to the hacienda now and tell everybody about their wedding. She wants to stay at the hotel para siempre. When they get back to the hacienda it'll be all the problems again. He says she doesn't have to worry about any of that, he'll take care of everything, all he cares about is her welfare, peace, and health. "You won't be sorry." She gets horny again.

Sofi tells Jimena that Oscar came back. She hopes that will get a reaction out of Jimena. Jimena doesn't react, which Sofía muses could either mean that Jimena doesn't care, or else she does care but can't show it. "How we've suffered," Sofía says. The three of them have suffered, and they don't deserve it. Oscar came back without Juan and without the baby, she says. He said he couldn't find them, but she's not going to give up. She'll keep looking for her child and never give up. Never!

Mexico airdate: 24 de Junio
Word of the day: Agobiarse = to suffocate, become anxious, get uptight/worked up.
Next time: Sofi calls Juan on the Psychic Friend Hotline. Only, maybe it's not what it seems, because it looks as though Dr. Leonora can hear Sofía too.

Comments:
First, to start my comment off on the right foot, let's see... having days and days to look upon Mighty Joe Juan's yummy bare chest and back (I don't consider EY old at all, but for his age, he is sumthin to look at) reminds me of Biblical legendary strongman, Samson, who, according to chapter 15 in the Book of Judges, "...found a new jawbone of an ass, and put forth his hand, and took it, and slew a thousand men therewith. And Samson said, With the jawbone of an ass, heaps on heaps, with the jaw of an ass have I slain a thousand men." Just thought I'd share. :)

Gracias for the recap, Julie, dear. I came in late and didn't get to watch my recording yet, but took great pleasure in reading your take on it. I can't wait to see: Crabzilla and Feo tie their evil knot and the resulting consummations (ewwwwwwww!), more of Juan's amnesia and physique, the mysterious man from Dancing With The Stars (poor dude, they're probably going to pair him with La Llorona, to make the love triangle a rectangle), and all the hustle and bustle at Hacienda R-R.

I will be certain to fast-forward ALL things DOHfia. The moment she shows up on-screen... ziiiiiipppp. Goodbye.

From yesterday's episode: were any of my past PASION buddies as disturbed by Sarita's doll as I was (a la Lisabeta)? *shiver*

Have a great day, y'all--check you later.
 

Heeeeeee too good too good, geez the recaps are so much better than the show.

About Juan, has anyone ever seen the movie "Tim"? Mil Gibson made it when he was 22 & there was a TV remake with someone else. I forgot who. The deal is this, Gibson is a mildly retarded handyman & older lady falls in love with him and blah blah blah, but I always get the same vibe from EY in these roles. I think he is all hawt, until he opens his mouth or wide-eyes. I mean if you walked into the town, he would be the guy who would look the hottest, then once you were around him for like an hour, he would be at the total bottom of the list.
 

Great recap, Julie. Thanks! I may not have time to watch my tape, so recap is much appreciated.

BBSteph - You need to burn your Bible because it has the a-word in it. ;-)

Gosh, I finally watched the Thurs. nite episode late yesterday. I'm wondering if EY had to have a bikini or brazilian wax to do those male thong scenes. Ouch.
:-0 Looneyvision comes into my TV in "low definition" and bad reception but ...

doris
 

Thanks Julie for the recap. I finally got to see Juan in his undies. Woo hoo. I wondered who that guy on the horse was. He sure looked familiar. He's a cutie. I posted some lists on diytelenovel.blogspot.com but did them really fast so I'm sure I missed something.
 

New animal sighting! Could this be a love interest for Mariachi? I think its time Capricho, Mariachi, that donkey who hasn't been named, and new dog demand more parts in this thing. It sure would improve it for me. By the way, donde esta Mariachi? Has he too taken up residence in the Hotelienda Reyes? Maybe he's the only one out actually searching for mi hijita. I hope he doesn't get lost. Then Pablito would be in endless tearful scenes over mi perrito! He might actually get more sympathy than the others.

Great recap, Julie! I keep falling asleep during FELs (usually during one of DOHfia's crying jags). Never had that problem during "Pasion"--hmmmm, wonder why.

Any way, here we are at the now named jungle village with I-Juan-A-Brain winning the Citizen of the Month (Day? Week? Year? who the heck knows where we are in time)Award, building straw huts & baking his hairy, e-coli bread for the populace. Yum yum! And, to top it off, he actually spurns a naked woman in his bed despite the fact that he has no memory of ANYTHING. Now, I ask you, do we even remotely believe a man with memory loss would say no to a hawt babe who willingly climbs into bed with him for NONCOMMITAL SEX?????????????????????????????? Yeah, sorry...not buying it. I mean, look at Crabi (if you can stand it) who just can't get enough. Besides, if I-Juan-A-Brain had a scintilla of memory of DOHfia, he'd be humping Dra. Do Me like a, well, you know.

I do like the new cast member, no matter how he fits into the story. He's a cutie and he shaves!

Fuego Maggie

Julie: Great recap and thanks for the word.

I was going to let the sighting of the utility pole go unnoticed, but you let that cat out of the bag.

Beckster, right, Juan is the big guy who is the life of the party, but you just want to leave him there.
 

Sorry diytelenovela.blogspot.com. I can't spell again today.
 

I wish I could block Snofia every time she comes on the screen. I'm sick of her whining and sniveling. If I'm watching my DVR I just fast forward because it is the same every time.
 

Hot Doctora is certainly professional. Treat the patient then take advantage of him. Jump right into bed with a mentally challenged man. I'm thinking malpractice, Juan.
 

Thanks, Julie, great recap...I noticed the power pole a while back, but didn't think about posting lost posters on it- great idea...This TN is really stretching the bounds of credibility- Juan surviving his ordeal, Feo being able to operate as he has, Oscar searching only at night, Crabi, Slofia, etc, but most of all-BOOTING NAKED SOFIA VERGARA OUT OF HIS BED!...Juan thinks that he's seen the Wise Guy of Las Barrancas before. I know where- he looks like Bernie! (to me at least). He certainly doesn't fit in with all these indiginous folks-way too european. Kinda reminds me of col Kurs (sp) from "Apocolypse Now"...Now e have a new caballero showing up for a ne w sub plot. At least things are moving again
 

I don't watch this, of course, but are you telling me that this village of indigenous persons in huts in the jungle has a bakery? with an oven? Do they go into Brigadoon and buy the flour or are they growing wheat and milling it into flour out there in the jungle?
 

The wise man does slightly resemble Bernardo, although I think the person he's reminding Juan of is either Grandpa or the padre.

The flour was coming out of proper flour sacks, so it came from somewhere else. It's probably subsidized by the government or something.

I don't really get exactly what the deal is with the toothless government guy, but I know he's supposed to be looking out for them, while he's actually holding this power over their heads. I remember the doctora saying that he was exploiting the people in the tribe, but I'm not sure what they're doing for him.
 

Not only does the village have a stylish open-air bakery but apparently they have a terrific mall in the area so the good doctora can buy her thongs & designer jeans, Juan can get a haircut & shave (Super Cuts, I'm sure...he's low on pesos), and he can get his Calvin Klein man-kini underwear.

Makes sense, right?

Fuego Maggie
;-)
 

Gawd Julie...you are just too funny. I was laughing out loud throughout this.

I have totally stopped watching...not because it's über- dumb and the plot moves along at glacier speed but because I can't stand story lines where a baby is taken away from it's mother. Just can't handle it. That and child abuse are simply too upsetting, even in fiction, for me.

But my oh my, I do enjoy this team's recaps. Thanks one and all.
 

Omg before I even read the recap did you guys happen to catch Rosario's wardrobe malfunction?

Her left nipple came out during the montage and was blurred out...

Now on to the recap... but if you still saved last night episode go check it out...
 

YIKES! I'm surprised our male bloggers missed Rosario's wardrobe malfunction.

They must be the size of hubcaps.

:-0
F.M.
 

Bridget: I must have blinked or nodded off when that happened. But, I do remember thinking that the outfit Rosario was wearing last night looked like it would inflict pain on the wearer.
 

Geraldine: It was boobed to happen... I mean bound...
 

I FF'ed through the montage and missed the nipple, but I did notice that her boobs were pushed WAY too high up in that outfit.

She's a pretty girl, there's really no need to overdo it with the crazy outfits.
 

I can just say that everyone in the tribe is fully dressed and Juan is running around with no shirt and no shoes...

Yet he has an oven.

And with his flashback moment did you know notice that the "tribe" didn't even react?

I have a feeling that the Dancing Star man is going to be Sufria's new love interest.

I mean if we predicted the amnesia correctly... what are the chances that this would be correct.
 

Bridget, I missed it too. I'll have to replay it. I usually tune her out because it is the same song over and over and over.
 

I'm sure the male bloggers missed the wardrobe malfunction because (as I do )they watch Fuego for the acting. Frankly, I can't imagine having a face to face conversation with Rosario and not be accused of staring. Wherever you look - there they are.

Abuelo P
 

And really, they look kind of painful.
 

I still want to know who is taking care of the baby? And where is Luis? Maybe the baby is really dead. I can't imagine them going in that direction though.
 

Julie, Thanks for the hilarious recap I especially laughed over your imagery including
*Wuthering Heights La Llorona act,
*wandering the misty moorsDry Ice Woods (previously the Rape Forest),
*gnashing her teeth and crying for Heathcliff Juan and her child.

I sure missed a lot of silly episodes and I haven't had the time to catch up on many recaps so I truly appreciated your illumination of the land and water deals/scams. Damien looks handsome in a Mario Cimarro kind of smoldering eyes way. And yes, I love the horse too. Juan in the buff was divine except I wanted to brush (or lick) the flour off his cleft chin. I couldn't concentrate on what the wise man was telling him while I stared at the flour.

BBStephe, thanks for the allusions to Samson, it sure works for me. And I can't say that I regret missing the doll/Sarita scene, that is just too too Lisabeta.

How come a hot guy like Damian is going to moon over the tearstained face of Sofia?

I have about 8 hours to figure out what all is happening then I am back in the saddle tonight.
 

I normally find lots of things to get excited about Fuego, but even I'm starting to get bored. The worst was when they asked Oscar what happened in his search. It was PAINFUL to see him just stand there without saying anything for about (seemed like) 90 seconds, then say, no. From his expression, Juan might have been dead, but Oscar wasn't telling. I thought he had found the doo-rag, but did he even mention that? Or the campfire? And why didn't he go to the village during the day and ask questions? Even if Juan was swimming at the time, Oscar could describe him (big and dumb), and the villagers would immediately know who he was talking about!

Oh, and about Rosario's wardrobe malfunction. I wouldn't know, since I only look at at her face (yeah, right!).
 

Julie, great recap, the thong bothered me. Okay the whole doctor hitting on the messed up dumb guy bothers me. But a thong, really? Thats what you pack for your jungle adventure?

I total saw the boob shot. I called my son into the room because it was a Rosy scene and we both were what the heck, when it went fuzzy in one spot. Doh!

Thank you for explaining that was the guy from Dancing with the Stars. I knew he looked familiar. What a cutie, I hope he gets to swim!

Why can't Juan have a shirt? Not that I mind, much, but really...and why did the big baker man have to take his off? I would rather eat naked Reyes bread than that guy!
 

They probably don't have any shirts that are big enough for Juan (and the other baker guy). All the other guys seem pretty small.

Amazing that he doesn't get sunburn or anything.

I don't recall that Oscar ever mentioned finding the 'do-rag. After searching the village he probably concluded that it wasn't Juan's.

Cheryl, you really haven't missed all that much. You definitely picked the right three weeks to skip. :-) I am really counting on this new Damian character to make things more interesting.
 

Does anyone else think that Dra Leonora looks like a young Eva?
 

Lola, I don't see a resemblance, but if you're hinting that maybe Gabi wasn't telling the truth about Ruth being Eva's daughter, I agree with you - Gabi is a liar and she loves to torment people, so if she says Ruth is Eva's daughter, it might be true, or it might be yet another random lie.
 

Doctora probably packed her thongs because she knows to travel light, with all the luggage restrictions.

"They must be the size of hubcaps. F.M."
ROFLOL!!! They look painful to me, too. Eew.

doris
 

Julie, really? I hope you are counting to high. We thought the doctor would make things interesting and instead we got more plot to know where confusion. Christian is nice to look at, but I don't think he can save us from the mire!
 

Um...aren't...lord I can't type some days!
 

Thanks, Julie. I appreciate the giggles that recap gave me. I was happy to see one of my favorite Dancing Stars has joined the cast. I guess that he will put the moves on Sofia soon. That Leonora is persistent , no ??? And, we got a followup visit from the black speedos. Are they a product placement ???? [''Buy these briefs and score with all the hot docs.'' ...No worse than those awful ads for Axe in which the guy turns into chocolate and all the ladies start to nibble at him..ears, arm, etc] I think Crabby might actually kill Feo with her passion..ewww.

Molly, he might need to take a shower or go swimming.
 

I would not nibble on ANYTHING, even chocolate, if it smelled like Axe body spray.
 

Okay it was lot of difficult work, incrediably complex computer software and a special shout-out to my boyz over at CERN (they lent my their computer). Statistically there is actually a greater chance for the redemption of Fernando, and the next time white smoke is seen above the conclave of the Sistene Chapel, and the announcement of "We have a new Pope","PaPa Fernie I"; than for this plot to ever make one bit of freekin sense. I mean ever, any small detail..it is statistically now impossible for any action to have the normal expected conclusion. A perfect example is Oscar and the "NPC" tard search for Juan. Sofie's vow to find her child all by herself, yeah I hope she recognizes the six year old kid.

"Abandon all hope, ye who enter here"
 

Julie, thanks for that hilarious recap. I had noticed the utility pole by the hacienda, said "what the...?" Loved Sofia wandering the moors/forest a la Wuthering Heights. Also the cell phone ad for Sofia's dead zone.
And wasn't it wonderful that Crabi and Feo could finally get married and ummm...consummate their union.
I knew Christian de la Fuente looked familiar. And just exactly what is he going to contribute, except to drag this mess out even longer?
Butter Biscuit, the Samson comparison was fine, but sometimes I connect EY with the jawbone of an ass when he opens his mouth to yell. I also laughed when he was having that conversation while the lump of dough was stuck to his chin.
Mommy, I'm tired of living in this place called Mexidoom, where time just drags on and on. Mommy, I'm booooooooored. Can we go home, please Mommy? I don't want to meet any more new people, and I'm tired of playing with Quintina.
La Paloma
 

I am speedreading this on my lunch, Susanlynn you want to run that chocolate man thing by me again?
Anyway thanks Julie for a real howler of a recap, especially since I missed the entire episode last night.
Beckster, I do remember the movie "Tim", an Australian flic with a young Mel Gibson. Whew! He had limited intelligence, but if you dressed him up and told him to keep his mouth shut...oh, Mama Mia! I do see the similarity.
"Creemelo"
 

Creemelo---Haven't you see the commercial for Axe aftershave ???? A guy uses it and turns into chocolate . [The ad informs us that Axe makes you as irresistible to women as chocolate.] As the chocolare man walks down the street, he breaks off his chocolate nose and hands it to a girl, others start nibbling his ears, someone bites his A-word , and someone else pulls off his arm. It's dreadful and mesmerizing at the same time. Who thinks up this crap ??? The commercial I like is the baby boy hawking some kind of investment something ...he hires a clown with the money he made...very clever and cute.
 

Ah, doris. :-) Just wondering if I'd get slapped down for quoting my Bible or referring to a donkey. Guess not?

Juan would definitely say no to a hot babe, amnesia or no, at least for a while, in my opinion. That's the way his character has been drawn, and that's what he should do, until she breaks down his resistance or something drastic happens to change his wiring. He already gets slapped down daily for being a big dumb guy; he doesn't need for us to see him as a slut as well, jumping some unknown chick because she's right there naked.

Welcome back, cheryl! As you can see, we're still whirling about like dervishes over this danged plot... :) Take a gander at muh-muh-muh-myyyyyy Llorona (think of the 1979 hit song My Sharona by The Knack... I know, that's mean).

If Babe Dra. has no qualms jumping nekkider than a jaybird into a clear river and approaching a Man Who Has No Name, it's not such a stretch she would have a thong in her backpack, now is it? Plus, it teases the men watching the show, folks. (She did look nicely shaped from behind.)

If that Damian does find DOHfia attractive in her present state (and I suspect he will), I'm pretty much going to hurl.

"Abandon all hope, ye who enter here" Becks, ROFL!

Lola, I do sort of see the resemblance there. I think it's more because of Babe Dra.'s lips and the way she wears her lipstick, and her eyes just a little. I doubt it'll amount to anything, though.

Where oh where is my little Maria Guadalupe?? NO WAY is she dead. Of that, I'm sure. *hoping that statement doesn't come back to bite me in the FUEGO*

Got to watch my recording now! This Rosy-malfunction sounds hilarious.
 

I saw that AXE commercial in Spanish first, then on American TV. It's everywhere now.

DOH. *shakes head*
 

In the previews, they show Juan and Doctora listening to a voice calling for Juan. Sure sounded like Slofia. Juan had to float down the river to this place, Doctora had to take a rickety bus and walk in, Oscar rode in after what seemed like a long, long while....so how does Slofia find the Barrancas? Did she walk over in a trance, ride Bernie's horse (I miss Mr. Ed not Bernie) or did she drive that big SUV which she could have done eons ago? Must see what happens. G in CA
 

Oh, Connie, from your keyboard to the telenovella writers eyes!

Maybe he will get friendly with the boys and they will all swim!
 

Susanlynn, okay thanks much, I haven't seen the ad, but I'm pretty sure that having a hot guy break off his nose and hand it to me...even if it IS brown...sounds too much like he's got a tropical flesh-eating disease.
Can't wait to see if Sufria pauses in her lamenting long enough to admire the new Star Guy.
ButterBiscuit: I'm a-gonna be singing Muh muh muh Myyyy Sharona all night now!

Oh I forgot: maybe Juan is actually making Gorilla-Scout Cookies, LOL!

Thank you for your recap. I do appreciate it... I am a new comer to this fantastic site..

Please don't be angry with me when I say I enjoy the recaps even more with out so much of the fowl language. You guys are very, very funny and entertaining with out it.

I will not stop readying or sharing your site ... but I just wanted to be honest. Thanks.
 

Hi Anon 10:14 and glad you enjoy reading the recaps which provide such a valuable service for those of use "without the Spanish". The "numero uno" rule--and you already have it covered--is lavish praise for our hardworking recappers, who put in a lot of time for our benefit.
Cheers,

I confess that I had been trying to find an excuse to include "chickenbutt" (the c-word) in the recap. Alas, there was no opportunity.
 

Okay, Julie, I'll bite, but only because I have to keep walking away from the debate (contention makes me very nervous): Do you have a separate list of fowl words just to describe birds?
By the way, nobody applauded my "Gorilla Scout Cookie joke" :o(

I was going to applaud the Gorilla Scout Cookies joke, but I got distracted and started looking for actual cookies. Sadly, Girl Scout cookie sales are a few months off in my area and those are the only cookies I buy, unless you count Milk Lunch and I don't because those are strictly for when I'm sick.

And I didn't mean to make fun of the fowl language comment. Not exactly. Sadly, there's an occasional troll who puts some of us on our worst behavior (speaking strictly for myself) and the fallout last for days. Well-intentioned bystanders who happen along during that brief time window may undeservedly get caught in the crossfire.
 

Julie I'm going to add chickenbutt to to our list of foul words over at diytelenovela. We still have a long way to go on our list.
 

We stopped at J. So we need a J-word. I posted pictures of my sidekicks. They are not as well-mannered as Willa I bet.
 

Connie, I must get over to DIY and read the latest installment!
Julie, I got so distracted by the explanation of the chocolate man in the ad that I have been craving choc all night. Maybe Juan the Doe-Boy will be baking bearclaws or something yummy with cream cheese and almonds tonite...

Oh Connie, cute! Are they puggles?

Fowl language! Chickenbutt! LOL!! Wheeeeee!!!!
