MEPS, April 7th - It's Almost Easter and Nanda Still Doesn't Want to Do the Bunny Hop - Hop, Hop, Hop!
From last night: Jairo finds bald guy on the floor. Martina shows up at Jacinto’s and asks Jacinto if he remembers Liliana Elizalde and pushes her to the front door. Margs and Jacinto are shocked to see her.
Dr. Plutarco Obregon (that name Plutarco just kills me) is at the hospital and the attending doctors tell Dr. Matamentes that Ciro has regained consciousness and that his condition is stable, but his prognosis is “sombrio” (which literally means “shady”, but in this case I think it’s more like “doubtful”), and they don’t believe he’ll make it through the night. Pluto signs the release form and the nurse tells him that Ciro has been calling out for someone named Liliana ever since he regained consciousness. Ciro brushes it off saying that the patient is psychotic and well, you know, that’s how those psychotics are. They cart Ciro off to the ambulance to return him to the looney bin.
Santiago, still out for the evening with Aurora, is on his cell phone talking with Fernanda and telling her he doesn’t want to be at the ridiculous Cena de Perdon. She says Cadmilho is not in a very good mood now that he’s seen Errorika with Franco Santoro, the executive of Pow-where Meeelk. Smart Nanda pops into her thoughts and poses the question, “This Mystery Man, why does he make me feel such restlessness (“inquietud”).
At the Dinner Table of Doom, just as Cadmilho is shoving a carrot into his mouth that just happens to be the same color orange as his fake bake, Francuardo asks who the empty chairs are for. Anyballs says they’re for Santiago and his girlfriend. Prisci explains that the Aurora is from Guadalajara and that she’s a sculptor. BadAssBarb thought bubbles that it’s just a made up story. Nanda comes back to the dining room and makes excuses for Santiago. Franco changes the subject and says he thought Gonzo had once told him Gonzo had 5 kids. Errorika tells him there’s another daughter named Liliana. Oh yeah, it’s all coming back to Francuardo now, Liliana doesn’t live at home. Gonzo explains that Liliana is sick and that’s why she doesn’t live at home. Francuardo the metiche (nosy one), asks how long it’s been since Liliana isn’t living at home. (Seriously – would you ask that???? Ever???) Fernanda says it’s been 15 years. Babs says there’s no hope for her return. An “awkuardo” moment follows.
Over at Jacinto’s, Martina is telling the story of how Liliana was found by Jairo, but she’s sure Jairo doesn’t recognize her. Martina says Jairo told her that until somebody from her family shows up to claim her he was going to use her. Margs asks Lili if she remembers her and Lili does. Jacinto asks how she got to the Cantina, but all Lili can say is “Eduardo”, and Martina says that Lili keeps saying that Eduardo is here. All three are impactado.
Back at the Cantina of Mud, they’ve bandaged up Graciano, the bald guy, and Jairo is pissed. Jairo offer up Venus to keep him company all night long. Jairo starts to leave and Venus wants to know where he’s going. Jairo’s off to find Martina. Venus is worried and asks G-d to protect her friend.
Jacinto’s is riding his bicycle through the night like a bat out of hell. At the same time Jairo busts into Don Silvestre’s humble abode and scares the crapola out of Don Silvestre. Uh oh, I think Martina’s secret is just about out. Don Silvestre threatens Jairo with a knife. Jairo says he’s there to find Martina and that once Martina returns what’s his that’ll be that. Don Silvestre has no clue what Jairo’s talking about and says Martina wouldn’t have anything to do with somebody like him. Jairo says “You’re daughter is no nurse! She works for me every night and takes care of my clients!” Silvestre is furious and wants to defend his daughter’s honor. For an old guy, Gepetto’s pretty agile with that knife, huh? Jairo says Martina screwed up his business deal. Gepetto threatens him with the knife again and Jairo skedaddles to the door but stops and tells Silvestre to tell Martina that this isn’t over!
Back at Rich People’s Land, Franco is asking Damian what happened with his meeting with Pow-Where Meeelk. Damian says that he left two messages for Esteve and that he was told that Pow-Where Meeelk had no interest in investing with Grupo Intolerancia de Lactos. Francuardo says that’s strange because Meester Nortone was one of the most interested ones. Francuardo tells them not to worry because Nor-tone, the Vice President is one of the hardest and difficult guys he’s known in his whole life, but Franco doesn’t think the deals finished yet. Babs is not happy with this news and thinks to herself, for her part this business will never happen.
Francuardo’s cell phone rings – Jacinto calling to tell him that Liliana has shown up. Frankie is impactado.
Just as Pluto’s finished taking a slug off his flask, Adolfina comes to say how worried she is about Ciro. No compassion from Senior Pluto. He’s sure Ciro tried to commit suicide for a diversion so Liliana could escape. He whips out the flask and takes another snort off it right in front of Adolfina who is shocked. Adolfina thinks they should let Ciro’s family know, but Pluto’s says they’re not doing a think until La Loca Elizalde shows up. Adolfina thinks Liliana has headed back to her house. Pluto is pretty worried now.
The dinner is over and on the way to the front door Franco continues blowing fake sunshine up the backsides of the Elizaldes about the potential alliance of the two Meeelk companies. He asks Fernanda what her role in the company is and she answers Human Resources and the ______ Program. He says that’s good because when a company is in crisis the first thing they do is cut people, all the executives care about is money, that it’s the workers who actually built up the company. They all agree and Frankie thanks them for the delicious dinner and their hospitality, but there’s only one more thing – he seems to have lost Errorika. Polite chuckling all the way around. Errorika is having a chat with Cadmilho and tells him the only reason she’s there is for Fernanda. Cad thinks otherwise – he’s sure it’s to make him jealous and act like the victim. She says she doesn’t care what he thinks, and that thanks to him she’s met a real man, not a farce of a man like Cad is. Cad laughs his stupid laugh and tells her that when Franco find out just how ridiculous she is, she better not come lookin’ for him. She can’t believe his audacity and he continues but this time he pokes her in the head for emphasis and she challenges him to hit her again. Just then, Francuardo shows up and gives Cadmilho an extra firm pat on the chest. Cad says Errorika was just saying goodbye to an old friend. Franki and Erika leave, smugly.
Outside, Santiago and Aurora are just getting back. They’re two happy little angels in love.
More goodbyes, and just as they’re about to leave, Errorika sees an imaginary piece of schmutz on Fr/Ed’s mouth and lovingly brushes it away and gives him a kiss. Fernanda looks uncomfortable. The two fake novios leave.
Prisci crabbing at Anyballs again about their “homework”. She wants to take him someplace, but she’s not telling him where, but tonight he’s going to get her pregnant.
In her bedroom, Nanda wonders to herself why she asked Fr/Ed not to say anything to Dumian about their first two meetings. Out loud she tells herself she’s a liar in front of “him”. Dumian just happens to be passing by and asks who she lied to. She flubs a story and says in front of him, of course. He asks her to explain, but his phone rings – it’s his mommy. He doesn’t answer. He wants her to tell him the truth.
Franco’s dropping Erika off. Franco’s phone rings – it’s Jacinto telling him Liliana has not stopped asking for him. He tells Jacinto he’ll be there in 20 minutes. Erika asks for 2 minutes of his time. She asks him who he really is – Francuardo is muy impactado! He basically says what she sees is what she gets and he can’t tell her anything more. She is definitely falling for him. She tells him she thinks he’s the greatest guy ever. She can’t understand why he’d want to help her.
Nanda tells Damian that with all that’s been happening, Nana died, Eduardo never showed up, she just can’t relax. Dumian says he’s been patient, but he’s a man with blood running through his veins. He wants to make her his. She starts to look like she’s gonna be sick while he kisses her neck.
Franco tells Erika she just looked like someone who needed help and he wanted to help her. She kisses him on the mouth and he not too happy. I don’t think she’s getting the message though. She gets out of the car.
Damian continues trying to seduce Nanda, but of course, she stops him. She asks him to understand, she can’t be with him, she doesn’t understand why either. He pressures her, but says he’s incapable of forcing her to do it (“incapaz de tomarte por la fuerza”). He goes to leave and he says he’s going to sleep in the guest room. She cries – he leaves. The minute he’s gone she starts crying that it’s all Eduardo’s fault – he ruined her wedding.
Prisci and Anibal arrive at their destination. Two men that look like bodyguards or bounders help them out of the car.
Babs is on her way upstairs with a glass of Sleepy-Time Meelk for Gonzo and runs into Damian headed downstairs for a drink. She tells him to get back upstairs and attend to his woman. He explains that Nanda ain’t givin’ it up, now she’s upset because Eduardo never showed. Babs tells him this is a fiasco and he says what – you want me to take her by force?
Prisci and Anyballs are inside what looks like a very high class bordello. Prisci introduces them to a woman dressed like a geisha, who takes them upstairs to a room and tells them to make themselves comfortable.
Freddie shows up at Jacinto’s and Jacinto tells him that Martina, Don Silvestre’s daughter brought her.
Back at Psychoville, Pluto is freakin’ out now that Dumb and Dumber, the hospital goons (who are dressed like they’ve been working in a freezing cold meat locker). Adolfina comes in to tell that Ciro has taken a turn for the worse. Pluto runs out.
Fr/Ed enters Ed’s house. Liliana is thrilled to see him and says “Eduardo”. Great, now Martina knows too. How long till the rest of the pueblo finds out?
Pluto is standing over Ciro’s bed cursing him and Liliana both for complicating his life.
Back at the House of Ill Repute, Geisha Lady has given Prisci a book filled with pictures of women. She hands the book to AnyBalls and tells him to pick a girl or girls, that he likes. Looks like Anyballs needs a freakin’ road map to figure out what’s going on.
Liliana says Eduardo again. He asks why she thinks he’s Eduardo. She says because of his “look” (mirada). She says he knows he didn’t do anything wrong, that he loved Fernanda, and they were both punished. He says yes, he still loves Fernanda.
Looks like Anyballs has made a choice. Prisci has given the book back to Geisha lady. Anyballs wants to know if Prisci’s gone crazy. She tells him to enjoy the moment. In comes a blond and a redhead and they begin to seduce AnyBalls while Prisci watches. The look on his face is like he’s at the dentist’s office with the drill inches from his teeth and no novacaine.
Virginal Fernanda tosses and turns in her bed.
Babs tells Gonzo she’s worried about Nanda. She says she should be enjoying herself with Damian and they should be handling all the problems for her. He thanks her for opening his eyes. Damn she’s a good liar.
Prisci patiently waits for AnyBalls. He gets up and tells her this whole thing is absurd. She gives him more champagne and leads him back to the girls and then it looks like she leaves the room, but peaks from behind the room divider. Now he looks a little more into it and starts kissing the blond like he means it. Hmmm . . . apparently he’s allergic to Prisci. She continues to watch.
Don Silvestre is remembering the big wad of money he found in the cookie jar and now he’s realizing that Jairo was telling him the truth and he cries.
Martina tells Jacinto she couldn’t leave Lili at the Cantina like that.
Adolfina tells Doctor Pluto she doesn’t think Ciro is going to regain consciousness and they better tell his wife and son about his fall. Pluto insults her intelligence. She feels bad for Ciro and says the only medicine that will help Ciro is if Liliana comes back.
Lili is explaining to Eduardo about Dr. Awful. He wants to know if she wants to go back to the hacienda and she says no, she wants to stay with him. (Get in line honey!!!)
Previews: AnyBalls introduces himself and Cadmilho to Martina. Barbie wants to get it on with Damian, but Damian is not in the mood this time and Barb is pissed. Santiago, with a red bandana on his head, looking like a cross between one of the 7 Dwarfs or a Smurf, asks Nanda if she’s sure she doesn’t want to see the first boy she ever fell in love with again. Freddie, in what looks like a disguise, goes to see Pluto and it looks Eduardo may blackmail him.
Dr. Plutarco Obregon (that name Plutarco just kills me) is at the hospital and the attending doctors tell Dr. Matamentes that Ciro has regained consciousness and that his condition is stable, but his prognosis is “sombrio” (which literally means “shady”, but in this case I think it’s more like “doubtful”), and they don’t believe he’ll make it through the night. Pluto signs the release form and the nurse tells him that Ciro has been calling out for someone named Liliana ever since he regained consciousness. Ciro brushes it off saying that the patient is psychotic and well, you know, that’s how those psychotics are. They cart Ciro off to the ambulance to return him to the looney bin.

Wow, fast up! What a great recap Melissa. I often watch once the kids go to bed but tonight they left me alone so I was thrilled to see your recap up.
You are so right about "get in line"! If only it worked for poor Errorika to just say "I want to stay with you". That girl wants him bad and he is not being the least incouraging. Poor thing is getting set up for a major let down.
I thought maybe the reason Anyballs was getting into the blond was that she kind of looked like a man in drag.
Wonder if we will get to see what little miss Nanda is dreaming about?

Wonderful wonderful, the recap was great....yes, and fast too....As i was saying on last nights recap... i read a lot of romance books, woodiweiss,coulter, deveraux... and this happens alot, the heroine and hero go through hell b4 getting together and then it would of been so simple if they just communicated...but then this is tele land its what makes these TN so good....so many things could happen...no spoiler here...just speculation....
Fr/ed is going to have a houseful, now with lili...and the whole pueblo will know who he really is....once gardenia finds out...
Poor Dumian, can't get Fer to give in.....it was crazy to see anyballs get into those girls the way he did.... i think his wife is so way better looking though...BN

Love your earthy, tell-it-like-it-is style of writing Melissa. "Awkwardo" moment and "fake sunshine up their backsides" made me laugh. Also causes me to wonder how the "blowing smoke up their a**" ever got started as a saying. Presents a very strange picture indeed.
Eduardo's home for not so wayward girls is beginning to fill up. Hope Papa doesn't yell too much at Martina. She's one of my favorite characters. If Pops kicks her out, maybe she can bunk at Eduardo's as well.
My other favorite character...Bad ASS Barb.Love the way she can turn on a dime and make her evil machinations look like tenderness and concern. You just know Lucero is having a blast with this role.

Variopinta, the reason I asked if you saw the # of episodes on Wikipedia yesterday is because some jokester was/is? messing with the Wikipedia articles about telenovelas. Later it was changed to say 120 episodes, and now it says 165, both of which seem far more plausible but I wouldn't bet the farm on either number. You or I or anyone else could edit that to any number we want.
The Wikipedia article for Fuego en la Sangre briefly said Sofia would die and it also had Fernando getting killed just a few months into the show.
Wikipedia is great for getting a quick overview of a subject, but if you really want facts, unfortunately you sometimes have to cross-check what you've read there.

Melissa - THANK YOU for the excellent, funny recap. I couldn't record this last night and I am grateful for the recap. (and for some reason our DVR has decided to not record "Fringe" for the DH again. Argh. But I digress...)
Loved the impactado faces on Jacinto and wife when Lili turns up at their door. I'm worried about Martina's safety. Methinks she is a sitting duck now.
I wonder if Prisci's plot is to get Anibal so drunk he can't remember if they "did it" or not.
FrEd's cover is going to be blown any day. This can not continue, with half the pueblo recognizing him and/or finding out who he really is. I mean . . . really!
JudyB - maybe that smoke idiom means ...ummm ... same thrill but not the real deal? (wild guess)

Melissa wonderful recap! Once again my DVR shut off and I missed the last 15 minutes. I thought I had fixed it. I loved the way Fr/Ed marked his territory so to speak with Cadmil-Ho. That thing with AnyBalls was kind of creepy but then again, I think he's totally creepy. His hair reminds me of a cotton ball. I'm still trying to figure out how being with a P*** will benefit Pris unless she's going to jump in at the last minute.
Great discussions yesterday. Yes, we definitely have a much bigger crowd for this one. I bet we set some kind of record for the most comments.

Ibarramedia - you're right about the incest thing. Oh well, it was a good idea while it lasted. My brain is still in a pear-half state, floating in red jello, from the FELS effect. Honestly! Is there a cure for FELS effect?!? This novela is the polar opposite of FELS. Not much gets repeated, ad nauseaum as if we're chimpanzees, and we are given sooo many facts that my brain has not caught up yet.
OT - Carlos - Sophie (the pup) is coming along great. Thank you for the compliment...I'll tell her you like her hair color. Actually, our son's hair is almost the same color; we're partial to redheads,,, but not the kind Esteve has. ;-)
She's 4 mos. old now, smart as a whip, learning her place in the pack. I've obedience trained every dog we've ever owned. A trained dog is a happy dog. Yesterday we started her on the treadmill; it was too cold & windy for our 1 mile walk outside. Dog Whisperer is our favorite show right now. :-D

Doris Sophie is so cute! I need to take mine to obedience school but I'm not sure which one to start with. We love Dog Whisperer too! He was on with the Horse Whisperer the other day.
Thank you, Melissa. Doh! Gotta work. Just able to hit the first few paragraphs. I just wanted to say, thanks, Lili, yes, TU MIRADA!! Jeez! This has been my beanie point, I know Fernanda was only nine but if she was so in love with little Eduardo, she, too, should have remembered his mirada! Unless now Lili is secretly in love with Eduardo too! My man is just slaughterin' the ladies left and right without touching them -- um, except for Erika who is homing in on her own.
And I guess the virgin leading lady line was easier to maintain back in the day, now all kind of plot contortions are needed: I guess Nanda will be like Rod in DA, cain't be nobody but Eduardo--whom she can't even recognize! Damian is starting to huff and puff, look out suitcases and cell phones!

Absolutely stunning Melissa. What a great episode and an even more entertaining recap. It's almost as if the writers and the actors have you guys in mind while producing this masterpiece.
Poor Lil. Don't you just want to wash her face, fix her a cup of cocoa(preferably using Cocolbosh), and tell her that her pesadilla is over. I still can picture her playfully teasing young Eddie by trying to make him laugh. I wish only good on her from here on out.

Thanks you guys, it was a fun one to recap. I had to do it from You Tube, I other plans later last night, but didn't want to post it too early. If anyone misses a capitulo or doesn't have it recorded, the capitulos posted on You Tube by "laurisgar" are really good quality.
Carlos - Yes! I feel so bad for Lili. She needs to wash her face, change into a brand new pair of cozy jammies and go to sleep (drugless) feeling safe for the first time in 15 years.
Now that I think about it, Martina may not know that it's Eduardo. Martina was in the kitchen, or other room with Jacinto and Marg while Lili was talking to Eduardo. Maybe they'll say that Lili just thinks it's Eduardo and that it's really her doctor and that Jacinto called him to come and get her?

Thanks for the fun recap, Melissa. I can't believe that dinner is over, and Cadmil-ho didn't give the apology that I thought that Gonzo had demanded- or did I miss something? Loved the way that Eddy gave Cad an extr-firm pat and straightened his clothes just before leaving, and the CAd just took it. What a piece of work golden boy is. And the other piece of work in the siblings, Any?balls at the cathouse- could anyone be so clueless? Interesting setup- the working girls acting as "teaser mares" (I think that's what the horse breeders call them), but you need a stallion , and I'm not sure we have one here.
Is Silvestre going to throw good hearted Martina out? Looks like Eddy is soon to have all the single women of the pueblo at Las Animas, his own harem of untouched beauties.
Poor Lil, no one has said much of comfort to this fragile soul, seems like they are just asking her questions. Just seems abit odd to me.
Tonight should be interseting, Babs being rejected by Damian, and I don't think that she will take rejection too well.
As Julie said, do not take anything in wikipedia as fact. Anyone can add to or subtract the content of their articles. It is great for an overview, but double check elsewhere for veracity.

You've gotta admire Pris' decisiveness if not her good judgment. The House of Happy Endings may not have been the wisest choice but it was certainly creative and resourceful. The setting was great if garish, but the ladies were not exactly prime. The choices at the Mudhut are more appealing. I'm not sure, however that anything is going to work for Anibal. Which show was it in which the dragonlady drugged Cesar Evora and when he came to announced that he was going to be a daddy. I think that might work. Good luck Pris.

Great recap Melissa, yes, at the dinner, Fr/ED, me thinks a metiche. I could never be asking all of those questions. Nosy indeed.
I think that Nanda was starting to get into it from Damian, but she pulled out in time. Have to keep Damian away. Not sure how many plot devices they can come up to keep him out. Perhaps send him back to New York? Have him get hurt falling off a horse? :-)
I think to provide Martina with a cover for papa, Fr/Ed can hire her as Lili's personal nurse. As noted many times, she already has the outfit. I was really surprised to see that papa can take care of himself. No wonder Martina is so handy beating people up, she was probably taught well.
I not sure how much Martina would say about Fr/Ed. To me, she doesn't seem to be too concerned with the Eduardo mythology like everyone else.
I was looking around yesterday to see if I could see something that said this was stretched from 200 to 300 episodes as noted yesterday by Variopinta. I like the thought of 165 as noted by Julie. Right now, I would warn anyone not to read too far in Wikipedia. If they are true, it has some interesting spoilers. I didn't really see anything that jumped out to me as saying that MEPS has been extended.
Seeing the redhead at the bordello, it looks like they still have some of that red hair dye lying around that they used to have barrels and barrels of in some of the recent TNs.
Not sure how much Anibal was really getting into it with the blond. He was always glancing over, so I think he was trying to put on a show for Pris. I think Pris was getting a little celos though seeing him getting into it. And Connie, I'm thinking that is the plan, Pris will pull off whoever is with Anibal at the time and get it done. At that time, little does he know, Anibal's nightmare will be over. Pris will have the deed done and won't need to bother him any more. Hmm. hopefully Pris won't create a new problem and Anibal finds out he really likes this!?

Even the sound of his shoes as he left the dinner table Khalilah, Molly, Susanlynn, ...et.al. phermones! Captured on tape and transmitted by air waves.
I feel like saying 'do that again' and he didn't even do anything but walk.

Carlos: Yes, that's right. What I was thinking last night as well, give Anibal something to put him out and afterward pretend he did the deed.
Dorado Dave: Good question, I guess I missed it as well. Did Cad give an apology somewhere? And, loved it when Ed showed up straighten Cad out. Nice...
With the potential bevy of beauties that Ed is gathering, if he doesn't get Nanda, we'll still be doing pretty good. ;-)
Maybe the guapo doctor will come to Martina's aid and lie to Silvestre and say Martina really does work at the hospital?

Thank you Melissa. So much fun with words. Love the "awkuardo"!
I was delighted to see FrEd give Cad several extra firm two handed pats on the chest, and even include a sportsman's slap on the cheek.

Oh, Judy, I always thought the phrase blowing soke up someones butt came from cock fighters who literally blew cigar smoke up their chicken's butt to make them a bit more enthusiastic about fighting. I think it would work for me.

JeffMN, when I saw the girl with the red hair I instantly thought of Pamela from DA. I also think we got very close to a cell phone episode last night...When the phone rang how many of us thought for sure Damian was going to smash it?!
Great as always, Melissa...love your recaps. Carlos, how does one blow smoke up a rooster's behind, delicately or otherwise...ugh. LOL GinCA

Melissa, you go girl. That recap rocks. Could you please send the web link of Utube by laurisgar? I haven't tried utube in awhile because of the (used to be) poor quality. I'm enjoying this show to the max despite all the deciet, lies, infidelity and revenge that are the landmark of a good novela. Seems everyone is backing themselves into a corner with their cover-up schemes. Speaking of favorites, I love Nanda. Don't laugh, but I even find something charming about Gonzalo. He's playing that role of an over the hill "used to be" falling for a young beauty who can out smart him everytime.

Carlos, you've given me a whole new image to contemplate. Makes me feel pretty sad for those poor fighting cocks. Such a life....
Excellent recap.
I want to know too - where was the big apology? The entire dinner was set up for that, it turned into the Franco Santoro show.

I do not understand how a house of prostitution is suppose to get Prissy pregnant. I've not seen this Frontline report on PBS. So anyone, does somebody collect the sperm for insimination? Why wasn't the sperm at the doctor's office useful?
Obviously Gonzo has Attention Deficit Disorder - he completely forgot about making Cad apologize.

Thanks for the recap Melissa. So many storylines to contemplate and your title is funny.
I wonder what the next "excuse" Fer will give her spouse. The fact that he's turning Barb down is not good.
I also hope that Lil gets the secure environment and caring she needs soon. And it does look like Ed is going to have a harem. I hope Martina joins the group b/c she now needs protection as well (though she defends herself quite well).

BN, I stopped reading years ago, but I used to be a huge fan of Woodiwiess, Deveraux and Lindsey! Nothing like a good bodice ripper.
Bonnie, oh yeah! He just oozes it from everywhere. Dang! What a man. And I love how sweet he is with Lili, so quiet and charming. Nice contrast to the man who came to rescue Errorika from Cad and made it quite clear where he stood.
Funny because right after I watch Alborada, which as Luis he is still totally smoke'n hot. But Lucerio, in a completely different role makes me enjoy what she is doing as Babs that much more. She is great!
Also, I love that Babs removes her makeup when she goes to bed. So many of the women are always in full makeup. I love that they take all of the heavy gray eye shadow off of her. She really is a beautiful woman, even if she is the love to hate character this time around.

I did not see an apology from Camilo. I did see that Ericka stood up from the table and called him out then sat down. I liked how Eduardo straightened Camilo out as soon as they were leaving.
I think Martina knows it is Eduardo but did not say much and decided to give them some privacy. Something Nosy but sexy Gardenia would not do. ;)
I don't know about Priscilla's set up with Anibal. If he does the deed, it would be with the call girls and not her. Getting him drunk won't help in getting it up. Alcohol impairs the little head.
So I guess Santiago and Aurora got a pass for missing dinner. I thought Gonzalo made it a mandatory attendance. I'm liking this house of harems that Eduardo is setting up. I called it first. :) He can leave Jacinto and Margarita alone while he has all the other girls. BTW I saw a pic of Margarita looking pretty sexy. I never would have thought it since she looks so plain in manana....

Bonney- the dud Any?balls is shooting blanks- hence the coupling w/Vlad...
Also, like that BOW removes eye makeup before
delivering Gonzo's bedtime meelk. Adds a slight touch of realism, and makes her look a little human, too.

The whole thing with Pris and Anyballs is just weird. I realize she knows that his sperm is worthless, but he doesn't know that. So if he's doing it with a prostitute, is there going to be some "collection method" involved??? A turkey baster perhaps???
Yes, I think the idea is to collect Anibal's tortured renderings in a condom or other suitable receptacle and then give it to Pris who will immediately, you know, use it.
Since Anibal's "sample" at the clinic was only for testing purposes, I'm sure it's gone, so Pris can't claim to have used that. And of course she can't make him go back there and give another one for her since they now know that his stuff has nothing to offer.
So this off-the-record dalliance will have to do. Yuck, but LOL.
And no I didn't hear an apology from Camilo. I had a feeling Daddy wasn't going to be able to make that happen.

Just for fun, here is the what Urban Dictionary has to say:
Blowing Smoke Up Your A$$: Most literally translating to "trying to get a reaction" out of somebody. Originated from a 16th century technique to determine death by literally blowing tobacco smoke into someone's anus (through a long pipe) - where a reaction indicated that the person was still alive.

Molly---I just spit water all over my keyboard! That is a riot. So if they reacted they were just sleeping?
I think Pris took Anibal to the whorehouse to help him 'get it up' - once he's in the proper state, then he can impregnate Pris. Either that, or she'll collect the remains like someone said.
Connie really, didn't they know the mirror trick? I mean that is just rude! And who first thought hey lets try this? Ewwww!
I assumed Pris was just trying to get him in the mood, not collect a sample and use a baster. Really, I will be very happy if we never have to see Anibal have sex with anyone ever again! Blech!

Oh right Dorado, I forgot about Adamant's blanks. That service and the place is interesting. I like the idea of letting him drouse with more wine and then waking him with a thank you, the deed is done. But I'm still worried that Prisci didn't cover all the bases. Would that fertility test have indicated that Ad was infertile due to a vasectomy?
Melissa, great job. I am new to watching telenovas and started because my mom watches. Neither of us know how to speak Spanish. Is there a way to get the closed captions on our TV to read in English or does someone know another way. Thanks for your help!
The pipe thing, now that would get my attention!
Loved the kiss on the cheek that Fr/Ed gave Erika in front of Camilo as they were leaving. He knows how to play this game. I just want to slap Camilo's face every time I see him, I guess the actor is doing a good job.
The scene at the Casa de Putas went on too long, ok, we get it. Pris just might equal Babs in the resourcefulness dept.
Looks like wiki is a great source for misinformation. I knew it could be changed but had no idea it was that bad. It's the 1st thing that turns up when you are doing a search.
Me too, me too, I want to stay with Fr/Ed.

A couple of comments...
What a disappointing dinner. Not only didn't Camilo not apologize, he wasn't even upset by seeing Erika with a beau. And then he ended up making Errika upset when he told her that her new boyfriend would dump her once he found out what a niccampoop she was.
Then, I guess Babs and Damian are so far in control of the money that the Elizalde's don't even know that all of the company's cash went to Bab's Cayman Island bank account. Loose end?? Hello??
Then Artemio told Babs to "Let the Games Begin" after the wedding. So far, in whatever inning we are in, the score is Eduardo 5 - Artemio - 0. Artemio/Bab's side haven't struck any venganza blows yet.
BTW, Tuesday's episode, with Lili escaping from the manicomio, got my blood pressure up - how about you??

As for alcohol diminishing Anyball's abilities, I suspect that business offers a variety of supplements for the wine, especially since they probably have a number of elderly clients.
In reality, sperm has a short life span outside of the body. Yes a spermacide will kill some of the sperm but it does not die when air hits it. Sperm can survive outside of the body for 10-15 minutes or in a body - such as a female host, for up to 72 hours.
Some condoms have a spermicidal lubricant. This can help to reduce the likelihood of pregnancy. One of the most common spermicides, though, is something called nonoxynol-9.
Sperms can be stored for many days in sperm bank. Sperm exposed to room air on clothing, bed linens or toilet seats lose motility (the ability to swim) rapidly. Once the semen dries out, the sperms are usually dead.
If the semen is near the woman and no fertile fluid is present, they will die within a few hours outside the body. If semen is spilled on the external genitals (not in the vagina) they can swim to enter the vagina. Thus they travel from outside the body to inside.
Inside the body sperms can survive for 72 hours or more. Half of them perish in 1 to 5 hours journey inside. Note that this half is more than 60 million sperms.
So it would be complicated for Priscilla to be able to salvage the sperm and use it on herself. Screw the beanie, but I can't makes sense of what she is trying to accomplish.

Thank you Ibarra, and especially for letting me know I'm not alone in being mystified as to how this plan could possibly work.
Melissa, thanks for great recap, I will never be able to think of the Bunny Hop in the same way again.
Boy, I never saw House of Happy Endings coming. I think Anyballs is in deep "kimchi" no matter what happens. If I were Pris I would be really upset to have to result to this!
Where is the apology? And to top things off Cad insulted her again.

I think that getting him drunk enough might suffice. Someone else suggested this. Let him pass out and thank him in the morning. What I am wondering is why he is so reluctant to comply with his marital obligations. Is he gay? No reason to think that. Is he unable? Well, we do know that he is incompetant in his professiona;l life. Is he not interested in sex with Prissy? I wish they would let us know why they are burning up so much time on this issue. Probably another go-nowhere sideplot...
I think Priss has brow beat the man so much he couldn't get it up for her for love nor money. She is using the other women to get him up then she will jump in and take it from there.
Really, no matter how it all happens, I hope it comes to us via thought bubble after the fact and no further involvement from viewville is needed, because Anibal is just icky!
If the show is going to have people getting naked, please let it be with Fr/Ed or Santiago! Okay, but not them together, I had enough bromance in FELS!

Not very. I have a friend who had two kids this way. The donor put it in a specimen cup in her bathroom. She then used a turkey baster (of course it has a fancier name but I don't know what it is) to insert it within minutes. That's it.
Her mother got two kids this way too. (Yes, it runs in the family. Don't ask.)
It took two tries for my friend to get pregnant the first time, and just one try the second time. The thing is that I guess you have to do it pretty fast.
But in Pris's case it barely has to be done at all. As long as Anibal can complete the deed, she has a plausible explanation for her pregnancy.
Unless he had a vasectomy, of course, but you'd think that would have come up in conversation by now. Especially as an excuse for him to get out of his "tarea"!

It took two tries for my friend to get pregnant the first time, and just one try the second time. The thing is that I guess you have to do it pretty fast.
But in Pris's case it barely has to be done at all. As long as Anibal can complete the deed, she has a plausible explanation for her pregnancy.
Unless he had a vasectomy, of course, but you'd think that would have come up in conversation by now. Especially as an excuse for him to get out of his "tarea"!
LOL! I knew someone would post a clinical discussion of the shelf life of sperm! Ibarramedia - I had a feeling it would be you! :)
Sorry about the bunny hop song. Walgreens here in Phoenix has been playing a kids "techno" version of the Bunny Hop promoting their Easter candy. After I finished the recap I couldn't think of a title and then lo and behold! The Walgreens commercial came on and I thought of Fernanda!

Melissa, this was simply great. You had so many good lines but the best had to be: "At the Dinner Table of Doom, just as Cadmilho is shoving a carrot into his mouth that just happens to be the same color orange as his fake bake,..." Perfect!
Julie, your "tortured renderings" made me laugh out loud. We miss your recaps! Molly, I also "had enough bromance in FELS". :)
Lili breaks my heart. As Carlos said: "I wish only good on her from here on out." Amen.

I know I may have to get a beanie but the writers do need to give us more info on the Ani/Priss situation. Basically we need the questions that Dorado Dave asked to be answered because this story line does not make a lot of sense and most importantly, its icky.
I'm with Molly, if you are going to show men let it be Fr/Ed or Santi with the women in their lives. Please let me not have to see Ani (or Cad fake tan boy) in any states of undress anymore !!

Karen, Novela life is so much easier with a beanie! You must get one. Just set it on auto pilot for MEPS and you'll be good to go. You won't even need a beanie user manual to keep changing the settings like we did for FELS! That novela was Advanced Beanie Usage for sure!
Molly, I the show will feature naked people, I pray it would be Fernanda,Ericka,Gardenia,Martina,Venus,Priscilla,Maybe Liliana,Maybe Natasha, Maybe even Margarita. :)
Holy Crazy ideas Julie!!! If I was the donor, I would just do it the old fashioned way. Especially if it is within minutes. Wink wink, nudge nudgfe Forget the specimen cup. *** Me grinning ear to to ear***. Just having a little fun here ladies. Don't get mad at me. ;)

I think Pris is just going for Anyballs to think he could have made her pregnant (establishing reasonable doubt.) I think unless he had a paternity test done (which I doubt) he would never know.
Let's just say that no romance was intended. :-)
I was quite disappointed in the dinner party. What a dud! (Hee hee, I don't remember it being as funny as the recap.)
I think for me, the highlight was everyone coughing daintily when Freduardo asked about Liliana.

My sister drove sperm across town in an isulated commuter mug from donor to recipient. Heathy sperm can make the journey!
Imberramedia, is that your own new late night Novella? I don't think you will get Gardenia, although she is curvy cutie. Unless her plot status gets upgraded, I'm thinking she is staying dressed. Priss needs to upgrade her underclothes. Spanx are great for making clothes look fab, but are a little matronly for suduction. Wonder if she can get Jemina's special undie hot line phone? I'm thinking Pris should shop at Agent Provocateur...then we would know for sure if Anyballs was dead!

All Pris needs is for Anibal not to remember what happened, she can tell him anything. She is already embarazada. Now the only problem is Vladimir. Remember Anibal is shooting blanks.
Melissa, a fabulous recap and great comments. Anibal's antics in the bordello made me queasy. Priss is certainly resourceful and/or desperate. Cadmilo didn't apologize or abase himself as he should have. Thanks to Eduardo for pushing him around a little.

Connie, for me that is the quote of the day. It was tortured renderings up until your post. Kudos Connie and Julie.
I love this show.
Carlos
I love this show.
Carlos
I'm back. Read the reference to 'tortured renderings' and got the barely smothered giggles again. Gotta go.
I think this entire episode - recap, comments, and all - deserves to be enshrined.
You sit down to a telenovela on a Tuesday night, you think you're going to see some awkwardness, some pained looks, maybe some crying... not "pick a couple of broads out of this catalog and get busy"!
I'm sure the ladies at the bordello would be happy to give Ani the pipe test for an additional fee, but it's okay with me if we don't have to see it. :)

It's bad enough they have to fluff him for Pris. (It's a real term used to describe the women who "fluff" the men up for their scene in porno movies.) It's true. I swear....
I forgot to include Babs and Aurora in the list that includes Fernanda,Ericka,Gardenia,Martina,Venus,Priscilla,Maybe Liliana,Maybe Natasha, Maybe even Margarita. :)

Connie,they had fluff girls for the guys waiting in the record setting gang bang dvd. Like 600+ I think. So they uh had to keep they guys up.
Anibal should never had married priscilla. It's not like they have added cash and stocks to the company. They are still a competitor...

Julie, I'm sure the cost for that service would vary depending on the type of pipe used. I'm sure PVC just wouldn't do and it would cause chafing to some degree. How would they list it on their "Menu of Services?"
Connie, I'm intrigued by how you are so sure about "fluffing" and where it is used. Hmmmm
Julie, if Imbar only listed those he didn't want to see, I'm not sure he would have a post left! At least he is a man who appreciates them all!

Yay Urban Dictionary! I get such an education from this board, and I thought I already had a pretty good one:
Fluff:
To prepare a pornographic actor for a sexual scene.
To arouse a participant in preparation for a recoreded sexual act.
His evening job was a fluffer.
I was fluffing this guy...
Inadequately fluffed star.

Connie, I am told that all the time also. However I like your useless information. I don't think it will help me on Jeopardy tho. Which is where I plumb the depths of my useless info!
Not sure Alex would be hosting that one! Although he is always so arrogant when someone misses and answer that it could be really funny!
Would the categories still be the same? Could you have Old Testment, Broadway Musicals....?

Thank you Melissa for the superb recap. I loved all your comments and nicks for some of the characters.
By the way, this one will have a total of 304 episodes when it finishes in June in Mexico.

May I respectfully request that we elevate this conversation just a tad? I know that novelas are like Sunday School with sex, and I've thrown in plenty of inuendo myself, but I'd be more comfortable if we'd lift the conversation out of the sewer and into the gutter where it belongs.
Okay, throw the rotten tomatoes. I'm ready. And I even will sign my post.

304 episodes? Wow. Didn't I read that for a while they were half hour episodes? Maybe it isn't a full 304 hours. There better not be any amnesia.
Yeah, I got nothing for that Paula, my comments are just swirling around the man-hole. I went way to willingly when it all started. Sorry.
I thought Aurora and Santiago where adorable, hows that?

Thank you, Molly. I still anticipate somebody will throw rotten tomatoes, but since the first reaction is you throwing flowers, I feel much better. Thank you.
And I love the picture with your posts. I've been gazing at the face for two years, and I'm still boggled that anyone can be so fine and not, like, explode or something.

Whoa! 304 episodes ending in June. That's impossible unless they have various chapters within each episode. I mean Fuego was 207 episodes and it lasted almost a year. 304 episodes would last more than a year. And if you factor in the days when the shows would be interrupted for the night. It gets even longer.
OT: I just found this blog and I don't know if it is listed in the telenovela forum links. But this one has a ton of pictures and video clips. I have not had the time to check them out yet, so I saved it in my favorites. Enjoy.

PaulH, I think most of what goes on out here is just plain fun and I am always surprised when someone posts tirades. We were definitely devolving...its all good! In FELS all we got was sweaty dough, heck in this one not just a house of ill repute, but with a picture menu too!
Okay, I just did a youtube search and there are 120 chapters out there now. If it played every weekday between now and the end of June (which it likely won't), then that would put it at about 180.

Yikes ~~~ This recap has generated some of the most intriguing and diverse comments I've ever read on CarayCaray. Where to begin ?? I guess it's got to be ''tortured renderings.'' Julie, you are a wordsmith. In two waords , you've captured the essence of that whole , wacky scene.... you've got to start recapping again. Melissa, loved your recap and lovelove the title. It brings a new meaning to the question ''Do you want to do the Bunny Hop with me?'' Also, that was more info about sperm than I ever wanted to know. And , who knew that today I was going to read a lot of deep thoughts about the possible origin and meaning of ''smoke up your a**'' ??? [Note : Now, I'm not a doctor, but I am pretty certain that there are much easier ways of determining death. Carlos~~What do you say ? The scene at The House of Happy Endings....just bizarre. At any point while she and Any?Balls were in the car did Prissy say ''Guess where we're going ???'' At first I thought...kinky...but later I just shivered and covered my eyes. As someone said , Prissy is resourceful and desperate...and may I add determined and pragmatic to the list of adjectives. Well, that was a fun read after a looong day starring in my very own telenovela . [I'm searching for a title.] I vote with the folks who think that Prissy plans to let the working girls get AnyB. all worked up and she is going to jump in for the finale. And Anyb is either gay , or he needs his testosterone level checked. Thanks for the laughs and the fun...I love this novela...I love this community. It's nice to escape the gloomydoom of the news for awhile. P.S. Freduardo, Is there room at the inn for me ? And, to me Lili looks like Shirley Temple as a character in The Rocky Horror Show. Dial down that warpaint. On the other hand, I'm amazed that Lucero appears on screen with no makeup . In Alborada, she was always in makeup even when she was....whoa...I don't want to give any spoilers !!!! And, as for Nanda holding off Dam...Has she used the old ''I've got a headache '' yet...That could take care of one more noche for her.

I'd be amazed if this novela were 304 episodes (half hours, perhaps?). Colunga has never done one that long. He usually leaves us wanting more. AND he's trying to get more movie work. Occasionally he also does live theater in Mexico.

food for thought from Ret. Maybe Aniballs knows he can not impregnate a woman and therefore does not want to have sex, because they will keep trying at her request(which he would hate) and she will realize that he cannot produce sperm. HOwever he was forced to have the test in the doc's office. Now, Prissy is going through all this to say that it was his sperm; however, he knows differently and it will come out at some point?????

Oh, and Paula, about the exploding, it really does defy logic! He really should have his own Richter scale. What was the Spanish version of People thinking when they nameed EY man of the year last year? Had they given it to FC enough? Can't they just retire the crown with him?
I shall have to watch Pasion when I finish Alborada. Then maybe I will watch Alborada again. Or just the good parts. Praise be to the internet gods for youtube!

Molly~~~Don't forget Amor Real. Honey, you can trust me...many love scenes, many tub scenes , and...oh yes...a very interesting story and characters. [The heroine is Adela Noriego [Sofia from Fuego]. Also, the guy who plays Cristobal , Luis's BFF and priest, is the heroine's brother. So much Fernando...so little time.

Molly, I think People en Español's Top 10 Sexiest is about as reliable as Televisa's Premios or a North Korean election. Has TBLMOE ever gotten first place? I think they usually put him down at about #5, if at all. Instead they put people like Alejandro Fernandez in the top three. Admittedly, the man's singing voice is probably banned in Kansas, but when I see his face, he's about as sexy as Barry Manilow.
Many men think they are God's gift to women. Fernando Colunga really is!

Variopinta, I was thinking those who are watching in Mexico are posting the youtube feeds which are why there are so many out there now and we are only on like 37 here. So then I looked at how many days would be left if it ended in June in Mexico. I mean, they aren't going to make more just to drag it out in the US, right?
Susanlynn, I will add Amor to my required watching list. I think I ran across a bathtup scene between he and Adele on youtube.
Paula, he really is spectaular. He could be his own Disney park ride!

Tee hee hee Bonney! The sound of his shoes? I'll have to go back and listen to that! Prissy may be miscalculating: Anyballs will probably misfire before she can make it across the room. Drug him and lie might work best!

Wow, no smoke needs to be blown here to check. Looks like this blog is very much alive. ;-)
Over 100 comments again today.
I'm not sure if we'll ever know how many episodes there are for MEPS until it is done. If it does only last until June in Mexico, it will not be 304 episodes. Only on 121 today down there, so not even close to 304 by June. Now if goes past June... could still end up at 304.
Someone mentioned vasectomy for Anibal. It'd be a hoot if he had got one without telling Pris and family and then she turns up embarazada. But... how would that show up in the fertility test?

If it ran until June 19 (I'm picking a random mid-June Friday) and was not pre-empted on any night, and it did not got to half-hour caps, then that would yield 173 cap's. Of course I'm making lots of assumptions to arrive at that number. These days, anything under 200 is good.
First off, Jeff is correct. There is no way they cover 304 episodes in June uless they start showing 3 episodes a day. 3 hours of manana a day. Please bear with me here while I explain this.
Fuego En La Sangre started transmission in January 21,2008. It ended on November 2,2008 with 204 episodes. Now to cover 304 episodes, it would have ended in March 17,2009. I year and 3 months and a half.
And yes Connie. Pasion is out on dvd but without the English subtitles. In addition to that Alobrada and Amor Real are out and they do have subtitles. Fuego En La Sangre is out on dvd but without the subtitles. It is sold in the Mexican market and you can purchase them via Ebay.
Connie,Molly and Julie, the people I do NOT want to see naked are the men.
Everybody else, 3 days in a row breaking the century mark. Lively discussion.... FELS personal best record was in the gran final with 120 responses.

I think I like calling Fernanda's husband "Dam." I mean, if she keeps on refusing him, ... I'll let your imaginations fill in the rest.
It can go 500 episodios for all I care, as long as he's in it.
The risk of "misfire" was why I was thinking Pris was going to have the professional collect it rather than dash over there at the last second. She truly cannot risk a mishap!
Well, hopefully this will be resolved tonight. I'm sure they could stretch this over five nights if they wanted to, but I think this blog would collapse if they did. :)

About the number of episodes, we know that in Mexico when they're premiering a new novela that sometimes they do 1/2 hour of whatever novela will be ending, and 1/2 of the new one in order to suck people into it because they'll already commited that 1 hour to the novela that's already been showing. They did this with FELS.
I hate math - it makes my brain hurt - so I'll leave it up to you guys to figure out if 1/2 hour episodes changes the number to 300+.
Or, maybe it will be extended in Mexico, we haven't heard that they've stopped filming right?
I'm not trying to get rid of TBLMOE anytime soon, though. But, I am eager to see Carla Estrada's new novela.

I hate math too. I have forgotten just about all algebra and higher forms of math. Never did anything in business but add,subtract, multiply and divide and computers took care of everthing else when I'm working on business deals.
Anyway, regardless of 1 hour or half an hour, it would still take 1 year and 3 months and a half to make 304 episodes. The half an hour on the first week and last week add up to 2-4 weeks tops. I stand by my calculations unless someone can clarify things for me.
We need Jarocha here. She lives in Mexico and should be way ahead of us right? Maybe Jarocha can sum this up for us...

The whole 1/2 hour episodes vs. 1 hours episodes and how long will it take reminds me too much of those annoying word problems in school:
"If two trains left the station at 9:05, and one train had 100 passengers, and the other train had 200 passengers . . ."
You get the idea! What a nightmare!

Melissa, this was such a funny and enjoyable recap. I agree you made the dinner scene much funnier than it was on screen. I am loving the story lines right now, just the right amount of madness and mayhem and humor. And the comments are the funniest I think I have ever seen. Thanks to all. I am coming out of a really sad week and needed the humor.

Anonymous 8:23pm, Please identify yourself next time.
The captions mean that you can view them in either Spanish or English like you would any regular dvd if you choose to utilize a subtitle. Of course if multiple languages are available and you want English, then you choose English. Everything else should be self explanatory.

I did not know that subtitles were the captions. I wondered what I would do if I got the DVD and could not understand most of it. So if I get the DVD and is in Spanish I can use the english captions?

Yes Ret and it is great! There are some actors that I have sought out there film work and I don't know Spanish at all so I turn on the English subtitles.
Sometimes you can get films that also are overdubbed, like Hero, but then you lose the expressiveness of the original actors voice and emotion. My son and I watch Hero in Japenese with the English subtitles on because we found the over dub so distracting.
In TV they use closed captions, which are a similar idea but are generally displayed in the native language that is being used in the television broadcast. Which is why we don't have English subtitles on Univision. But then if we did, we might not all meet up at this wonderful board for the awesome recaps and lively discussion.

thanks for the insight Molly. I prefer the captions in spanish. I understand the written word better then the spoken word so I look forward to the written spanish translations during the novela. I would not mind if I get the spanish interpretation during a DVD Spanish Movie/NOvela, because it helps me learn; however, without either one I would be lost.

Hi everyone. Just checking in one last time. So should I get Pasion? Is it worth watching? I don't use captions anyway so it doesn't matter to me. At least you can replay it and listen to it again if you miss something.
Connie~~~I loved Pasion when it was on Univision. The dvd will be a very edited version , so how good it is will depend on how well it is edited. However, if you want to at least get a peek at Fernando as a pirate , it should be worth it. We had a good time with Pasion. We even took pirate names. ~~~Cordially, Mad Buns Bess

Sorry, that was what I was getting at in my long winded verbose way. Subtitles on movies can come in multiple languages, closed captioning is generally only in the broadcast language.
And then there is captioning for the blind, my kids hate it when I watch those movies! I think they are fun.

Molly, can you elaborate on Blind Captions? I have never heard of them. BTW we just broke Fuego's record for responses with 129 now.

Yay us!
Yes, there are movies that are over dubbed for the blind, so you hear this voice saying "She looks anxiously across the room" "He strides to Mary purposefully". Basically someone explaining everything that is happening on the screen. They are fun to watch because the voice over is like the voice over for movie trailers and is very into it.
I took my kids to see "She's the Man" at the hearing imparied matinee, which they didn't advertise and it was all captioned, including the background music, but in English! It was really annoying! Won't do that again!

It makes sense to me now. I was wondering how they would do that since blind people obviously can't read. I even thought they were given a tablet with braile on it that changes with each scene. But that might be too high tech to be available for mass consumption.
