Corazon Salvaje 3/18/10--She's mine! All Mine!--Or Maybe Not.
From yesterday:
Juan is on the ship looking out over the ocean. He dives half naked into the water. Woo hoo. He climbs back on the ship and swears that he will ruin each and every Montes de Oca. No exceptions--NONE!
Leo is telling Regina she’s not going anywhere. Regina begs to differ and says she is responsible for what she does. Clemencia stops Leo from smacking her.
Today
Leo grabs the suitcase and Regina says I’m going to the convent. Leo says she can see why her father favors her sister. Regina says something about Aimee‘s excesses. Leo looks uncomfortable and wants to know what she‘s talking about. One day I will tell you. Clemencia helps her out the door. Leo shouts for Johnny Cash. She tells him to let Rod know that Regina is going back to the convent without her authorization.
Jimena runs into Josefina (or maybe it should be Ho-sefina). Jimena is worried that Gabe loves Estrella and not her. Ho-sefina says she will help her. Uh oh, Fed just happens to run into Ho-sefina. He takes her arm they go to a restaurant.
Rod is told that someone is there from the Finca with a message from Leo Rod wants to know what the big fuss is. Johnny Cash tells him that Regina went back to the convent without Leo’s permission. I don’t really understand why everybody is so upset about it.
Back at the convent, (maybe they should put in a revolving door just for Regina) the Madre is trying to get to the bottom of all this. She’s still not sure that Regina is sure that this is what she wants. Regina thinks that as long as she is close to Renato he will eventually find out how she really feels. She doesn’t want to ruin it for Aimee or Renato.
Fed and Ho-sefina are having lunch. He asks her something and she gets up and tries to run away. She breaks her shoe and he helps her back to the house. Man, I hate it when I fall off my shoes. It is painful not to mention a little embarrassing.
Regina is in prayer. She is told her father is waiting. FF>>
Aimee is out on the town with her girlfriends. Hey, how did she get my ivory parasol? I bet she doesn’t have the matching fan.
Fed puts the moves on Ho-sefina and gets a freebie in the afternoon. She is ashamed. Fed feels bad and says he has to make it right and will have to marry her. Ah, but Rod will be pissed.
Rod brings Regina home. He wants her to marry and have children. She isn’t going to marry Fed that’s for sure. He’s actually being nice to her.
Leo is talking to Renato in a boarded up house (?). He starts pulling down the “wood” and it wobbles. He is so excited. Some paint and furniture and this place will be grand. Leo is crying. Renato is worried that she is not happy about the marriage. Aimee is the woman of his life and soon will be my wife. MINE, ONLY MINE! BWAAH, BWAAH….! Uh huh….You just keep believing that.
Aimee returns home and Curly and the Parrot are spying on her.
Regina just wants to find peace. Rod says she can find peace here. Where is Aimee. She’s out with some friends. She spouts off about Aimee and he wants to know what that’s all about. Aimee comes in and has turned into quite the little hateful heifer.
Curly and the parrot run in to report to Juan. He found out where his One True Love lives. Juan perks up at this news.
Aimee says she doesn’t want to get into it with Regina. Aimee tells her to get lost. Seriously, what a heifer.
Dinner Renato and Leo. Regina went back to the convent. Why is the difference in your feelings for Aimee and Regina. I have respect for Regina. But Aimee has all my love. That’s like telling someone they have a great personality.
Aimee is surprised by Juan. Ah ha, now I have you my pretty, and your little dog too--uh wrong show sorry. You have to get out. He picks her up and tries to run off with her. She says I can’t. Juan says if you don’t come with me I’m going to talk to your father. Maybe it would be more effective if you bellowed Aimee at the top of your lungs. A I M E E E. Damn she does have the matching fan. He is just so adorable when he smiles. Aimee says he is her obsession. I love your lips, your body. She puts a lip lock on him. Somehow the end up on the beach whispering sweet nothings to each other. He thinks she is HIS, ONLY HIS! BWAAH, BWAAH…! I think we all know where this is heading.
The “gentlemen” are waiting outside. What the heck is going on? They hear music. FF>>
Back on the beach or is it a cave, Aimee and Juan are talking. Helloooo? Hellooooo? I hear an echo. How annoying. She says something and he laughs.
The doors are opened by Philipe. Come in and enjoy. The Hos are dressed to the nines. Rod is muy impacted when he realizes who the Madame is. Dun, dun, dun.
Back to Juan and Aimee. Now they have a fire going. Is his wig falling off? For once she has no lipstick. They pledge their lust for each other. If she ever had another he would kill him with his own hands. It makes her crazy to think of him with another woman.
Back at the club there is an awkward moment and I’m not sure if it is because Rod knows who Madame is or he is uncomfortable in that environment. They watch the Can Can which is one of the worst I’ve ever seen.
More Juan and Aimee now fully dressed. She still doesn’t want him to talk to her father. He is worried about Regina and Aimee doesn’t want to bother him. Please have patience. He doesn’t strike me as a patient kind of guy.
Rod is talking to Madame who introduces him to Briget (?)
Juan is back home and a young lady enters the house. What are you doing here? Gabe tells him she is here to work for him. Gabe goes on to tell him about some documents but Juan wants to deal with it tomorrow. But now he wants to go to the casino so he can finally meet his enemy. This should be good!
Juan shows up at the casino looking very dapper with his hair braided and a very nice tuxedo. Madame is very glad to see him. Juan is greeted by another gentleman I’m not sure who he is. Meanwhile, Ho-sefina has grabbed Gabe and says she has a surprise for him. She blindfolds him and leads him up a spiral staircase.
The gentlemen size each other up and sit down for a “friendly” game of cards.
Gabe has entered a room and we know Jimena is there because we hear the gypsy music. He bumps into her and takes off his blindfold. He turns to go but she stops him. He’s afraid she is one of the fillys in the stable but she says no they are my friends.
Noel looks like he’s skipping out and one of his friends stops him and says what the heck? Where are you going? Noel says this place is swell but he’s just not accustomed to it. He looks like he just smelled something bad and turns around and smacks into one of the girls. He is a little embarrassed and hopes that he did not upset her. She assures him she is fine. They get that “look” for each other like they will meet up again in the future. She would like to meet with him again to “talk.” Is that what the kids are calling it these days? She says anywhere you want. He asks her if she is married--does he really not know what these girls do? She says oh no she is single. There is a twinkle in his eye and he looks practically giddy.
The poker game commences. It is very tense. Rod throws down his hand and reaches for the pile of coins. Not so fast bucko--Juan has a better hand. He happily scoops up all the coins. Rod is such a sore loser. (Does anyone know anything about the cards? I’ve never seen cards like that before.)
My recording cut off so I’m going from memory:
Ho-sefina runs into Fed who is just so outraged that she is a Ho. And here he was all worried about having to marry her and stuff. How inconsiderate of her to leave out that little detail. He insults her and Juan steps in to intervene. I wish someone would just put that little weasel Fed out of his misery. Rod steps in also and says something about names and he tells Juan his name is Rodrigo Montes de Oca, Montes de oca, Montes de Oca. Juan’s eyes narrow and I swear his nostrils flare.
Juan is on the ship looking out over the ocean. He dives half naked into the water. Woo hoo. He climbs back on the ship and swears that he will ruin each and every Montes de Oca. No exceptions--NONE!

Gracias, Connie! I won't be able to see this one since we're already taping 2 other shows in the same time slot, but I can picture it from your recap :) Should be good tomorrow! I'll get it tagged for you.
Connie, what a perfectly wonderful way to start my Friday! Very, very amusing & chockful of hysterical editorial asides. The matching parasol & gloves, Juan's wig slippage, the infernal bouncing from place to place...ah, it's TN Land at its finest, made all the better by your take on it.
This is really smelling like FELS, though. Juan sneaking into Aimee's bedroom via the balcony, Juan playing a mean hand of poker, the revenge obsession, good girl/bad mother...yada yada yada. We even have ho's with hearts of gold. I'm waiting for the smoke & sparklers for the can-can dancers.
Methinks Noel has found an antidote to Leo.
Um, Gabe, you're oh so pretty but apparently you're a few cans short of 6 pack if you can't figure out that Jimena=Estrella. The veil is about as effective a disguise as Clark Kent's glasses.
Juan needs to ditch the hair extensions. And he & Aimee's biting, animalistic love making is nauseating. And how the hell did they end up in that friggin' cave when they were in the city?
Float my brain in jello...I know, I know. Actually, the lunacy in CS balances the real lunacy I'm facing every day in my job but at least I can laugh from 9-10:00 p.m.
Happy Friday! It's been in the high 60s this week in CT & I've got spring fever!
Adios,
Maggarita
:-D

Morning everyone. Thanks for tagging it Kat. Dipity sent me instructions on how to do it but I can't find them. We had 60 degrees yesterday and today it is supposed to snow! 8(:-(
This is kind of a weird question and OT--Does anyone else have problems with a significant other not wanting them to recap and making it difficult?

Thank you for the recap, Connie. :-) Even though I do think Juan's wig was slipping, I thought the cave scene was excellent and very hot.
Juan was quite taken aback by the power of Aimee's possession; I could see it on his face.
Or maybe it was Eduardo's amazement at Aracely's performance, because Aimee was weeping over the depth of her desire. Tears ran down her cheeks.
It was good; and though heroines can be moving and earnest, for once, I felt like a woman was professing the same kind of ferocity that I would, had I a fellow like Juan in my grip. Unlike me, however, Aimee will be careless with him.
Aimee cares a lot about Juan, thank goodness; so she will be very upset when she screws him over by marrying Renato -- and Juan retaliates. Should be good! LOL

Thanks, Connie. Well, the hos can cancan but not very well. And it looks like Noel is finally going to get some. Go Noel. You deserve it after being tied to Leo all these years. I, too, thought that the Sex on the Beach was hot. Now , we know where they got the name for that popular drink. I am seeing a fatal attraction developing between Juan and I-Juan-Juan Aimee. And if Renato really thinks that Aimee is going to live in that dusty hovel, I think he'd better have another think. Well, I'm off to tutor. It's been springlike here for the last few days. It's bright and sunny today with temps in the 60s predicted.

The difference between Aimee & Regina:
Renato, newly married to Aimee, brings her home to the dusty hovel. Aimee immediately sniffs her nose at it, then whines, begs and bats her eyelashes for Renato to buy a more extravagant...er... suitable home.
Renato, newly married to Regina, brings her home to the dusty hovel. Regina immediately imagines what renovations can be made to the house and with hard work and love turns the house into a home.

Thanks again for the recap, Connie; I just finished listening to it. I have dyslexia and have to put it into a sound file. That's why I'm usually a bit late in commenting on the recap.
You reminded me about the chica that Noel meets in the brothel/casino. She said something I think might be noteworthy: she said not everybody there is bad.
I'm thinking she's not a prostitute and is a good girl, so Noel will be able to get involved with her.
That would be so nice; I don't like to imagine what a lonely hell he's been through all these years, and such a deserving guy. It would be a big relief for him and satisfying for viewers, too. LOL
On the other hand, maybe they won't get involved, but just become friends and it puts the notion into Noel's head to find someone for himself.
And then someone closer to his own age will appear -- perhaps some familiar character actress. I like Noel.

Connie, another fun and snarky recap. I enjoyed your humor, particularly the matching parasol and fan. Yes, tripping and breaking heels has happened to most of us and usually at the least opprtune times! Your recap was great.
Thanks to all of the the other recappers for this week's summaries.
Juan and Aimee were on fire last night. Jeri said it all: "I felt like a woman was professing the same kind of ferocity that I would, had I a fellow like Juan in my grip. Unlike me, however, Aimee will be careless with him." Very well said.
I like Josefina and of course, she's much too good for Fed although the only time he seemed to humanize was when he was with her.
Hoping Noel finally finds some happiness or as you put it Maggarita, "an antidote to Leo".
Happy Friday all.
Diana

Thanks, Connie, for a very fun recap. As a fellow recapper, I understand your questions about a significant other's anti-recap feelings. I guess the problem is it takes so long, and they feel left out. They should realize, though, that this community (and you) are doing a service to Spanish learners all over the country (and the world, actually), so the sacrifice is worth it. :)
I got the feeling that the "boarded up house" was actually a boarded up room in the huge Finca del Mar. I think Leo wants to delay the wedding, and pointed out it would take a long time to rehab, so Renato wouldn't get married too soon. Renato's all gung ho, though, think's it just needs a fresh coat of paint.
It was convenient that Juan's cave comes with plush blankets to avoid love induced cave blisters.
I don't think Rod has realized Madeleine is Magda, just that the casino was a whorehouse. I could be wrong about this, though.
I think they were just playing poker. Although the cards looked a little strange, I thought Rod had 3 eights, and Juan beat him with 3 tens.
I think Josefina (Ho-sefina was hilarious) is also called Fifi. Not sure what her real name is. The lady who went with Rod was Brigitte. I don't think we know the name of the dark-haired girl who liked Noel yet.
I'm thinking Regina's going back and forth from the convent could be a recurring joke. In fact, the whole show seems like a joke at times, as if the writers have a tongue firmly planted in their cheeks with some of the overly dramatic, repetitive dialog.

I think that Aimee's hairstyle is very attractive , but that magenta color is straight out of the Rocky Horror Show. If her hair was that ashy blonde color like Reg has, she would look very different. That would have been a much subtler way to show which twin was which , but no...it seems that they were fearful that viewerville could not tell the differece between the good twin and the bad twin without one having a psychedelic hair color and too much makeup. I have male friends who are identical twins, but if you know them well, you can spot the differences in the way they walk, talk, and laugh. I've also taught identical twins. As for the significant other, I don't recap, but I do spend some time here at Caraycaray each day. Since I am busy with work and family, I sometimes eat breakfast here if I can't get here at any other time. Hub never complains because he is a sweetiepie, but sometimes he gets upset if he's calling me for dinner [yes, he cooks, too] and I don't come because I'm here. Well, gotta go because my significant other is calling me. It's a beautiful, sunny day here, so we are going to take a ride and have a late lunch/early dinner at our favorite restaurant. He just yelled, ''I'm going to bring the car around front !!!'' That means ''Get off that computer and grab your purse!!!''

Thank you for the recap Connie! I agree, you recappers do a great service for those of us who are Spanish challenged.
To tell you the truth Aimee's "passion" was a bit too much for me. All the Whhuaan-Whuannn and the biting was over the top. I don't think she cares about anybody. It's just a game to her. Every time Whhuaan starts thinking about talking to daddy, she gets him thinking with his non-thinking head.
I think the cave must be located mid-way between the town and the finca. And Juan has a magic tube that he and Aimee use to get there, much like those tubes the money shoots through at drive-up banks. That's the only way I can explain how they get there so fast with no one seeing them.

Thanks guys for the insight on the significant other. I told him it was a learning tool for me and he should be happy that I'm working to better my Spanish so we can converse. And every Thursday he acts like it is a big gigantic surprise as I sit with my netbook in my lap. I've tried to get him involved helping me with vocab and stuff but that hasn't been a big help so far. He just tells me I didn't write it down right. That's not what they said. Sigh....I might have to take Ibarra's advice and kick him to the curb! :P
Xintperuvian--I almost spit out my tea when I read your last comment! Now I have a mental picture of them zooming through those little plastic tubes!
All I can tell you is that my husband wouldn't touch a telenovela with a barge pole; but when I used to write summaries, he was a real dreamboat about it.
(I don't write them anymore, due to vision problems. I can't use my eyes for anything except that all day or I'll get a migraine.)
Important safety tip: I have my own separate TV sitting room and TiVo with a book case filled with pastel green boxes of telenovela DVD's. It doesn't interfere with his HD TV in the family room.

Considering he doesn't even live with me and he is the one that got me started on novelas in the first place, I don't think he has any reason to criticize! :)
Connie, that was a truly funny recap. You really are helping so many of us. My hubby often watches the TNs with me, and laughs along. Every once in a while he has shown just a little jealousy. Maybe your sig. other worries you'll get too interested in the TN hunks and he'll suffer by comparison. Or maybe he worries about your cyber association with so many crazy women (and men) of all ages and backgrounds. Does he have any hobbies that you sacrifice time for? Anyway, thanks for doing a true labor of love (sort of like Regina in the convent).

He does think I take it too seriously when I yell at the TV. He always says "It is just a show it is not true." That cracks me up. I do tell him what "we" think about this or "we" think about that. He doesn't get the whole cyberspace thing.
My husband thinks I'm nuts, no matter how often I argue that my TN viewing is all about learning the language, not about ogling.
shhhh...don't tell.

Dear Connie, thank you for the recap!
Jeri: I love your insights. They're well put.
(And I'm writing the letter.)

Connie: "Where is everyone today?" I'm here, I'm here! Just haven't had a chance to get online yet today. Love the recap. Love your snappy, ("Not so fast bucko") yet hilariously understated language ("They watch the Can Can which is one of the worst I’ve ever seen. ").
I admire you (and all the recappers) for doing this for the rest of us. My husband thinks I spend enough time as it is just watching the darn thing (although he did set up a TV for me down cellar with my exercise equipment so I can have the time to myself and not have to put up with his disparaging remarks. I hope you can keep soldiering on despite the unpleasantness. We value your contribution more than you know.

Connie: Thanks for the great recap!
"...does he really not know what these girls do?" That had me rolling!

Thanks for the fab recap, Connie! Very fun. Good luck on the problem with the bf; I hope everything turns out well. :)
So, Connie, what was that interesting part about your dress and parasol?
Aribeth, yes, I did think you'd know what I was talking about, LOL.

"when Juan hooks up with Renee and awakens the passion in her.....if he bites and kisses her the same way.....Renee will go with him any where....."
For one very-very long moment I thought you were speaking about Renato, and I even imagined the scene: Juan is in his usual face-eating passionate mood, and Renato acts like a submissive, coy and amorous girl. Ewwww... I'm afraid I won't be able to erase this mental image from my mind.

"I did think you'd know what I was talking about"
Jeri: *wink, wink* Yes. :-) But besides our common interest in senor Ed I really like the way you analyze the characters.

Hi Connie, sorry I didn't weigh in earlier, just a crazy day at work and I was there WAY too many hours.
First, let me say you are superb at honing in on the funniest details ever. Good eye there.
Secondly, I am another recapper whose SO resisted and, ultimately, just doesn't get it but lives with it. I've been doing it a couple of years and we've reached an understanding; my recap nights are the nights he goes out with his friends, takes his mom to the movies, whatever. If he's at home he knows this is what I do, it's my "spanish class", period. The first time I met a fellow recapper face to face this was our topic of conversation so I knew I wasn't the only one. All I can say is it's good, clean fun, the recappers and commenters are smart people, and I love doing it. Last time I got a wisecrack from him I asked him "would you like to know how to say piss off in Spanish, because I can teach you". And yes, he wanted to know!

Hi, Connie:
Thanks so much for all of your work as a recapper and for this particular recap. I appreciate you!
RE: Caray and the Significant Other
I think that my involvement in Caray has been a real surprise to my DH. I have never taken to any other Board in the way I have this one. I try to keep him in the loop about "our jokes" and he has raised his eyebrows about my taking on recapping someday, but generally he just ignores the TN's unless there is a really hot scene. Lately, he has been willing to trade off days on the "Big" TV if CS is on, because he finds CS comical and he likes all the cleavage in this "Historical" TN.
I hope you SI comes around and you get the support you need for our delightful habit of TNs.
