Gancho Thursday Feb 11 #166 - Just one small prick and then he's no longer there...
Yes I know I'm a complete copy-cat but I HAD to do it and you'll see why. I hope Kris doesn't mind....
Ahoy all, it's my honey's birthday and we're going out tonight so this is what it is. Also, I notice that the closed caps are not working AT ALL and the sound is bad so if I get something wrong please feel free to comment and I will correct/add later. Thanks!!
Redux: Aldo proposes to Estrella and, well, we know our lovely star has very little self-restraint, usually choosing to follow her heart above all else. Frankly, I admire that about her, but it certainly does not make her life easy. Gabi's friends console her by pooh-poohing her concerns that Sal was killed.
Salvador is trapped in the drugged weirdness of the manicomio. Gah, creepy!!
Aldo tempts Estre with his dreams and fantasies of having a life and family with her. She's tormented.
Hahaha! Jacqui and Jero are soaking in the tub holding drinks and wearing cucumber slices on their eyes. I love how she includes everyone in her spa moments. He says to love her is the only thing he wants in his life, then he says he wants to kill himself, then he take a dive under the water right between her legs. What? He complains about Oscar and goes under the water again. OK, I think he's threatening to drown himself, not...well, never mind. Jero shares with Jacqui that he thinks Oscar planned Salvador's death. (Now if only Jero and Gabi can get together maybe she could start saving Sal!)
Back to the star-crossed and age-challenged lovers, Aldo continues to argue his case for marriage. Estre says it's not that easy but he argues yes it is. Surprise (not), she finally relents and agrees to marry him. He's ecstatic but she gives us the classic over-the-shoulder telenovela worry look that always bodes ill.
Jero is still pressing his point (so to speak) in the bathtub. He trusted Oski who betrayed him and now he wants to kill him! Jacqui says he's probably in Paris by now. Dang, they are talking fast. I think Jero figures he can hit Coni up for his part his in helping her to disengage Mau from his wealth. This pisses Jacqui off who she says she'll not stand for him going against Coni. She's had enough of his tonterias and himm being a guy who doen't make anything of himself. He was just an affair for her and she doesn't want to see him anymore, they are over. She stands up nekkid, covers her loveliness in a plush white robe, and leaves. He sinks down in the water, limp and defeated. Wow, breaking up with your boy toy while naked in the bathtub? I see where Coni gets her cojones!
Gabi and Pau are thrilled at Mau's announcement that he plans to start a new company. Pau loves the idea that she and Gabi will be peers at last and Pau can talk "tu" to Gabi. Ahem...Gabi tries to explain about the invisible but very real hierarchy of work experience. They way these two pals stick up for their own interests cracks me up.
The little group sympathizes with Gabi who tries to have enthusiasm for the project in spite of her sadness.
Jero trots after Jacquelinay like a pathetically oversexed puppy dog. He'll do whatever she wants just so he can be her guard dog. She's dumping him because he'll always be a muerto de hambre (without money). He pathetically begs her to keep him while trying to take her robe off, then he tries to borrow 2 million pesos (about 153K) from her. This really sets her off, she's an expensive dame and she's not about to support a man. She orders Jero to stay away from her and her daughter or she'll send her ex after him. She gives him her earrings saying they should keep him for a couple of years, think of it as a tip for all the fun they had together. She calls Britney Sofia and her multicolored duster and asks her to escort Jero out.
Jero chases off Britney Sofia, pockets the earrings and answers his phone. Well well, it's Oscar calling his dear friend Jerónimo.
Gabi doesn't want to be an aguasfiestas but feels she should get home. Moni and Pau convince her to stay in the vecindad with her gal pal support group.
Jero spits out a stream of bile directed at his old pal. Jero wants to kill Oski like the rat he is. Oski, completely unphased, needs a favor, will Jero do it or not? NO NO NO! Oski tells Jero to relax and let him explain what he needs. When Jero tells him he's at Cojoni's place Oski says that's just perfect, their entire future depends upon what Jero is about to do.
Aldo walks Estrella home and, standing in the most public place in their little patio, they agree to keep their marriage a secret and to tell no one, especially...(cut to Mau and Moni strolling up behind them)...especially Mauricia and Monita. Busted!
"Um, we were just talking about nothing, um, we're novios again." Mau congratulates them and Moni looks doubtful. Aldo points out they need to be together just like Mau and Moni. Aldo and Estre victory punch the air and vow that after the back and forth they will make it work this time. Moni pulls Estrella aside and they argue with their eyes.
It looks like Oski got Jero to be his lap dog again because Jero sneaks into Coni's darkened room and starts searching the closet.
Mau tells Aldo to be careful around Coni and to behave himself so he doesn't end up in jail again. Estre is shocked and kisses him for beating up the little dopes who attacked her.
Moni and Mau are happy because of Mau's brilliant new company idea and they gaze at each other. Under the anvil.
Andres is visiting Luisa. I think they're talking about how their parents reacted when they ended up in jail. Stupid parents, they never understand. Coni comes in and is thrilled to see Andres because he's rich and therefore better than Luisa's other loser relationship. He sucks up and asks Coni if they can go out to dinner pleeeeeeze? No Luisa is grounded. Then he gives Coni his slimy smile and she folds. They can go out as long as Luisa doesn't "engordar". It's not always great to have a model-skinny momma. Luisa looks shocked and embarrassed. The kids leave and promise to be home early. OK, at this point Andres is acting kind of sweet and normal for a change. Maybe he's OK but the jury is still out.
Outside Luisa wants to know what his plan is, hers is to NOT engordar. Wow, kid's got a nice car, a sweet little white convertible. I'm no car expert but it looks like a Mercedes to me. As they drive off in his rod Ivan walks into view. It sucks to be poor.
Moni scolds Estrella, what's she thinking? Estrella reveals that the near rape was all Katia's fault. The important thing is that her cub is repentant and learned his lesson so she'll give him a second chance.
Jero calls Oski from the closet (are we liking this symbolism?) to say he can't find the clothes he's supposed to be looking for. I don't think we know why yet. OK, he finds a blouse, then a skirt, but he can't find the shoes. Oski tells him to open his eyes and look, they are low-heeled and coffee colored. Jero looks through the thousands of shoes and finally finds them. He sniffs them. Really he does, I'm not making this stuff up.
More serious talk between Monita and Estrella, same old stuff. Moni wonders what happened with Estre's plans to stay with Alicia? Plans change, she got her big break. More talk about Estre's role and Angelii asking her up front if she is pregnant. In summary, Estrella says she has decided to "interrupt" her pregnancy.
Oski talks Jero through the closet search and decides to have Jero take a picture of the clothing so he can be completely sure they are the items he wants. Jero sets up the shot while Coni pouts in the other room.
Jacqui walks in and Coni wants to talk in her bedroom. Of course it makes no sense for them to have to go to another room to talk (unless Coni's afraid Britney Sofia will overhear) but how else will Jero get to eavesdrop on their conversation?
Jero takes the picture of the clothing arranged as if it's the victim at a crime scene and sends it to Oski. Oski likes what he sees and instructs Jero bring him the goods but to be very careful that nobody sees him. Jero shoves the clothing into his shirt front then hears Jacqui and Coni approaching so it's back in the closet for Jero.
Moni asks Estrella one thing, that she not do anything she'll regret later. Sigh, I'm getting tired of these endless chats about Estrella's future. Career vs. child, she's confused, neither she nor Aldo are prepared to deal with a child, etc. May we fast forward? However our male viewers might wish to watch simply because the two ladies are absolutely lovely and they do get up and pose a bit in this scene. They can catch up with the rest of us later.
Coni is in a typhoon of a snit as she confronts Jacqui about daddy's past, was he really in love and on the point of getting married with that Nieves? Why didn't Jacqui ever tell her? Her papa with that nobody? Jacqui tells her that Marcos insists he still loves Nieves, blech. Coni looks like she's going to be sick. Cut to Jero hiding out in the closet and listening intently.
Jacqui says Coni's taste for nacos is genetic while she herself has always had impeccable taste in men. Jero preens a bit but he looks pretty stupid with Coni's blouse hanging out the front of his shirt.
Coni asks Jacqui has she forgotten about that loathful Jeronimo? Jacqui sez let me clarify I was never in love with him. Her interest in Jero and Oski was only to protect Coni. Jero seethes in the closet. Jacqui vehemently insists that being with those two idiots, especially Jero, was revolting and it was a sacrifice all for Coni. Then Jacqui starts mocking him, Jackoleeenay, Jackoleeenay, she nearly barfed every time he played the grand seductor. He doesn't have money, style, personality, and very little below the waist. She holds up her little finger and then wraps her hand around it so only half shows. Smack down! Poor Jero sinks to the floor, limp and defeated AGAIN, and Coni looks like she's about to explode in laughter; another classic scene courtesy of Jacquelinay.
Nieves and Beto have returned from the movies. He's thrilled to have her all to himself again, she no longer needs that ugly porcupine nor he that Constanza. She sez best day in her life because she feels his love again deep in her heart. They have a mutual love fest, almost a little to lovey for my sensibilities but whatever. They talk about Moni's horrible mother and Nieves is all thank goodness that viper is dead. Uh oh.
While Nieves visits the baño Beto dashes into the house, turns on the light, and is frightened by the insidious Isabel. Is it an understatement to say he is muy, pero muy impactado?
Mañana: Jacqui tells Coni that Jero thinks Oski killed Sal and this time he might not be wrong. Beto physically bars Monita from entering his house.
Sorry, no time for vocab but some of the comments this week reminded me of a couple of my favorite dichos:
Con el Jesus en la boca = very worried, concerned (Lit. with Jesus in the mouth, i.e. praying, this was Susanlynn worrying about her daughter)
De tal palo tal astilla = like father like daughter (Lit. from the stick as the splinter, when Coni was compared to Marcos)
Ahoy all, it's my honey's birthday and we're going out tonight so this is what it is. Also, I notice that the closed caps are not working AT ALL and the sound is bad so if I get something wrong please feel free to comment and I will correct/add later. Thanks!!

Wonderful! I especially loved your reference to "Cojoni's place" and questioning the symbolism of Jero calling from the closet.
I see why you stole that title -- Jacki was certainly hilarious describing Jero's shortcomings.
I was just reading last night comments. There was a question about how Coni could box when she hasn't even trained. But a few episodes back she told someone that she has been secretly training for a long time.
Also the question of Estrella's pregnancy...She did finally take the pregnancy test. So it's not some mysterious illness. But isn't it funny how those fainting spells stopped as soon as the secret was out?

Sylvia, I hope your evening is wonderful. What a clever, biting, and yes, naughty recap. Tonight was simply not Jero's best night. I almost felt sorry for him... almost. He revealed a more than passing interest in feet. He paid an inordinate amount of attention to Jaqui's foot while they were in the tub, and then, as you noted, he actually sniffed Coni's shoe. Once more he referred to himself s Jaqui's pastor alemán. For some reason, I think that sounds precious.
One minor thing, I think that Jaqui simply meant that Luisa is prone to gaining weight. She seems to trust Andres, whom I. Still. Don't. Like. Nice car, however.
Pobre de Ivan.
Kris, I enjoyed your recap. You guys amaze me with your ability to condense while maintaining detail, humor, and wit. I'm studying you guys' techniques and styles and one of these days will surprise you with an eighteen word recap which will leave you in stitches.
Mike, the weather was very bad here today (well for us), rainy and cold and one usually has to walk a ways to get into Goodson's. We went to a relatively new BBQ place, Spring Creek BBQ which is a new local chain which serves actually pretty good BBQ which is more Carolina style than Texas style. I had an hankering for sausage which was very tasty. Their pinto beans and potato salad are quite good as well. A nice touch, they are continually baking their own bread, little mini loaves which are awesome hot from the oven. Next week I must have my oyster fix and maybe the stone crab claws again. Judy and Susanlynn might like the stone crabs because nobody has to die. They just catch the little fellows, whack off an arm and pitch them back to enjoy life and grow another arm for us to enjoy. Everybody wins.
Snow bunnies, stay safe and warm tonight.

Güera, I love that you have joined us here at Club Gancho. I had missed Coni saying that she had been learning to box, great catch, nonetheless, Valentina is the Campeona Nacional. It'll take more than a few months of training to reach that level. Good boxers start training as children and fight as amateurs for years before turning pro. That said, We've come to know Coni,and like her or not, she usually delivers on her promises. Moni should be worried. One only has to remember Buster Douglas' fight with Mike Tyson.
¡Saque a Salvador!
Carlos
¡Saque a Salvador!

Sylvia...you are a rascal! Have to admit I was thinking along the same lines after seeing the episode. Gosh, Kris' "one small prick" title came a day too soon.
By the way, if there are any young men reading this, believe me, SIZE DOES NOT MATTER.
"Presses his point(so to speak", "Cojoni's place", "argue with their eyes" and "calls from the closet" were all gems. You may have been in a rush but you were still fabulous and clever. I didn't even think about the closet symbolism.
I was laughing so loud at the jacuzzi scene I woke up my husband slumbering in the other room. Those soap suds dripping on Jero's face, those strategically placed "suicide dives" under the water with an outraged Jacqui...just the funniest sketch ever. This was one of my favorite episodes in spite of the Aldo-Estrella and Moni-Mau tedium.

Good morning all! Yawn...stayed up too late last night.
Alternate tite: Will Jeronimo admit da feet?
I noticed his footy fascination with Jacqui but didn't put two and two together, thanks Carlos!
Guera, thanks for the sanity check. OK then, Coni is already taking lessons and Estrella really is preggers, sigh, there goes my theory about her right out the window.
Carlos, I agree with your viewpoint about Coni's use of engordar. I've altered the recap because I think it's more accurate. I was doing such a free-flow of typing I didn't have a chance to go back and really look at the sense of it all.
Wasn't Jacqui a scream? I feel like I didn't really do her tirade justice. I know she said something really funny at the end but I didn't get it and I was almost out of time. But suffice to say I agree with Judy...Gentlemen, size does not matter. In all my years of naughty talk with my girlfriends I don't ever recall any of us bringing that up as a subject.
Thanks for the comments y'all. It's off to work for me.

Sylvia, this time it was my turn to snort hot tea up my nose! And that was just reading your title. You just get better and better.
I kinda do feel sorry for Jero. He's such a bumbling nincompoop. He's a follower, probably never had an original thought of his own. Let's hope he does speak to Gabi. Maybe she can instruct him as to how to incriminate Oscar, hopefully while staying out of the loony bin himself!

Wasn't the poor sap pathetic? But I'm trying to decide whether or not I feel sorry for him. He's mean to his sister and he keeps trying to double-cross his cousin and other people. He's just an incredible dumbass. However he's hilarious to watch.
Definitely pathetic... I do feel sorry for him, watching everybody else hook up, while he stands on the sidelines following Oscar's orders and failing at everything. Imagine growing up with Ximena, cute, funny, sunny, way smarter. Couldn't have been fun. I know he is mean to her, but the way he 'strangles' her and puts the pillow over her face doesn't seem homicidal, just frustrated. If he could find a good person to pay attention to him, I think he would be a faithful, if none too bright puppy.
Sylvia, your recap was priceless! I love how you artfully paint the picture of what is happening and your snide commentaries are hilarious. I loved the "closet symbolism," Jero "presses his point", and the "star-crossed and age-challenged lovers!" You have a great way with words! Your recap was just fun to read as well as informative.
Sigh...I never figured out a way to economically record Gancho. DVR involved upgrading our cable service, which wasn't worth it since we watch so litle TV. I bought a DVD recorder and after wasting two Saturdays and driving my husband and several friends nuts, we just couldn't get it to work with our older TV and cable service. I was frustrated and feeling that for someone who never found TV all that appealing and worthy of my time, I was showing all the classic signs of addiction, including denial...
I have missed watching Gancho, but have faithfully been reading the recaps every day and enjoying everyone's delicious details and commentaries.
I'm off work today and Monday for Mid-Winter Break and get to leisurely indulge in my favorite telenovela and recaps!
I will get to watch the show today and Monday and won't feel I've missed anything thanks to all the great recaps and comments. Just picture me today at 3:00, cup of hot chocolate in hand, bag of 94% fat-free popcorn in other hand, in Gancho heaven being tormented by all those baddies: Coni, Marcos, Oscar.
Gee, I can't wait!

Sylvia, this recap was a classic! Very funny, and lots of delicious comments and all the naughty bits.
Yes, Jerry is bad, but he regularly gets his just rewards, whether they be from Oscar, Coni or Jacqui. I think he was beaten up by Moni once, too. So it sort of balances out. I'm intrigued by this thing with Coni's clothes, and don't know which way to root. On the one hand, I hate Oscar and his schemes, but on the other, this could derail some of Coni's evil plans, and she deserves some punishment, too (although, as I recall, she did have to sleep with Jerry at least once, and apparently it wasn't the highlight of her life).
I keep thinking maybe Gabi will get the idea to visit Lorenza, maybe to tell her about Sal, and then maybe she'd see Sal there.

Hey Deb. We love you so I hope it's not that microwaved butter-flavoured popcorn. And if it is, please don't sniff it like that poor bloke in Colorado who got the same untreatable lung disease as the folks who work in those butter-flavoring factories. Why the FDA has been so slow in banning this chemical I'll never know! (or I do know, it's called lobbying and donations)
Coni has had congress with Jero at least twice. I was surprised she didn't chime in more to compare notes with her mom.
And yes, everybody, EVERYBODY, has beaten down poor Jero. Paula has knocked him out, too. Didn't Estrella even get a good smackdown in way back when he tried to hit on her? Maybe I'm imagining that.

Judy, it would be interesting to try to take a vial of that butter flavor stuff through an airport TSA checkpoint to see what the damn Feddle Gummint's reaction would be there.
Sylvia, your recap shines w/ the lurid naughtiness of last night's episode. Umm, yes, that's a compliment. I especially like "Cojoni's" and the jacuzzi scene was definitely funny.

Maybe we should ask the FDA head honchos to take some deep sniffs of the chemical twice a day for a prolonged period...and then they could judge whether it was dangerous!
The jacuzzi scene was one of the all-time best Olympic gold medal winner of comedic scenes, from the opening shot with the cucumbers on the eyes to every dive and foam-topped surfacing of Jeronimo. And the artful dissing by Jacqui!.... she is a pro in comedic timing and so is he.

Add me to the fan list of "conjoni" and yes your title works very well for this episode as well....should we see if it can work for a third tonight, hombre? Sounds like a challenge!!
Maybe we can work the word prick into every title for the next week. That would be fun!! :) I'm being silly but I actually have a moment at work to do that! It's been a while!
Hope all is well and thanks as always Capn for keep us laughing!!

Sylvia: perfect recap. "Cojoni" is the best way to call her character hahaha.
I also loved Jaqui and Jero on the bathtub. I actually felt bad for him while he listened to Jaqui's description of him. He looked so sad and the actor Agustín Arana was looking good all serious.
Poor Iván, that was a fantastic car.
