Triunfo del Amor #11 1/17/11 Triunfo de las tortas ahogadas
Outside, the snow swirls through the frigid night air. Inside, the Mavens snuggle before the warmth of the electronic hearth. The music swells. The opening titles appear on the screen: The Adventures of Ozzie and Harridan … and Mr. Maven makes a hasty retreat, muttering: I can’t believe you’re actually watching that crap… ( Bah. Let him go, damn cultural elitist.)
María Desamparada is where we left her last Friday – sobbing in Juan Pablo’s arms. He will be her father, just as he is a father to all his flock, and he will take care of her. She will be his daughter.
Victoria is still convinced María will come back to work as if nothing had happened. Toni’s not so sure.
Juanjo is involved in a daring rescue. A young boy is trapped in a high balcony in a burning building.
La familia Sandoval is chatting at the dinner table. Victoria tells Fer she likes the dress she picked for her birthday party and Osvaldo tells his daughter the garden, as promised, will look just like a disco for the occasion. When Max asks if anything’s new at the agency, V drops the bomb: I fired María D. He is taken aback but Fer nods approvingly. You did good, Ma, she tells her. Max tells her to shut it.
Juanjo carries the boy to safety. He looks pretty beat up. The rescue is being televised and at home, Milagros and Nathy are watching anxiously. Linda is leafing through a magazine. He’s such a hero, swoons Nathy. Yeah right, like something out of the movies, says LindaHo. At the scene, the boy’s family thanks Juanjo effusively. Aw shucks, he says, he was just doing his duty as a fireman. (bombero).
Back at the Sandoval table, V explains that María’s offense was disobedience. She showed up at work with the most vulgar makeup and hairdo you can imagine. Osvaldo immediately gets it: María was just trying to please you, he tells Victoria. He is disheartened at V’s lack of patience and compassion for María.
María, back at her apartment, tells the roomies how V humilliated her. Now her dream of being a model is kaput. She never wants to see Victoria again.
Osvaldo leaves the table. Victoria’s cruelty to María has made him lose his appetite. Now it's Max's turn. He tells her how upset he is by her inhumane treatment of her employees. They are only flesh and blood (carne y hueso, literally, flesh and bone). They make mistakes. Not everyone is as perfect as you, he says pointedly. One bright spot for V: Fer is cool with her cruelty.
The roomies are still hashing over the María-Victoria incident. Luckily, a little time under the shower was enough to banish LindaHo’s MiniMe look and we have our heroine back. Max comes to the door and this time he doesn’t get turned away. MD falls into his arms.
MD and MS have found a place to talk. He warned her that Victoria was exigente (demanding), he says. She replies:
Una cosa es la exigencia, otra es la prepotencia.
(It’s one thing to be demanding, another to be arrogant.)
Her modeling career is over (se esfumó, it vanished), she says. She’s not going back to the Casa de Modas. And now she wants to change the subject. Tell me about your family, she says.
The relentless LindaHo calls Osvaldo on his cell and won’t listen when he tells her it’s best if they don’t see each other. In her breathy little voice she tells him that phone conversations aren’t enough. And she just wants to make him happy.
Back to MS and MD. He turns the conversation away from the dangerous topic of his family (she still doesn’t know who his parents are) by asking her what happened to her parents. They abandoned me, she tells him. Her mother didn’t want her. And for a long time she felt guilty – she must have done something to make her mother reject her. What would happen if you found your mother now? asks Max. Would you forgive her. Never, says MD, never.
Clueless Victoria sits before her mirror thinking how Max and Ozvaldo judge her too harshly. This whole María thing will be over by tomorrow when she comes back to work.
And Max is at that moment saying to María:
Entonces, ¿has decido no regresar a la Casa de Modas?(Then, you’ve decided not to go back to the fashion house?)
Yes, she has made up her mind. She’ll find another way to support herself. She’s not afraid of honest work. Now Max is completely convinced that she is unlike any girl he has met. They lock Bambi eyes. Romantic music. Lean in for a kiss. Sigh. Let’s move on.
Vicki comes down to the breakfast table and finds Fer seated alone. Max and Os left early. Os said to remind her that tonight is the premier of his movie and he hopes she can go (que ojalá pudieras ir) – but if not, well it wouldn’t be the first time.
It turns out Os is having breakfast with LindaHo. When Vicki calls him on his cell to make arrangements for the evening, he blows her off. Estoy ocupado (I’m busy) he says and hangs up. LindaHo is delighted.
Victoria, who is calling from her office, tells Toni what just happened. Osvaldo probably is very busy, says her friend. V is still expecting MD to come back to work and Toni is still thinking that’s not likely. V’s secretary announces via the intercom that a priest (it’s JP) is there to see her. She can’t receive him now, she says. It will have to be some other time. JP assures the secretary that he’ll be back.
We step away from the miserable ricos for a moment to spend some time with the poor folk who can smile through their adversity. María, Milagros, Juanjo and Don Napo are setting up some eats at a long table outdoors, a stall at the neighborhood market.
Speaking of miserable ricos, Fer is in a snit because she hasn’t been able to reach Scuzzy Tattoo Boy all day. She doesn’t know he’s still in jail.
Just when we thought St. Bernarda couldn’t be any worse –-
It turns out she is – what? a usurer? a heartless landlord? In any case she is demanding payment for back rent from none other than Rodolfo Padilla, Victoria’s old abuser and Scuzzy Tattoo Boy’s father. ¿Qué casualidad, no? He tries to tell her his problems but she cuts him off:
A mi me importa muy poco que tu hijo está en la carcel.(I don’t give a rat’s ass that your son’s in jail.)
He’s not looking for compassion, just a little more time. Look, she says, I’m a poor widow who has to look out for herself. I’ll give you a week. Pay up by then or you’ll be keeping your son company in jail. Got it?
That evening Max is playing pool and gets all mushy and sentimental just thinking about María. He says to himself:
Ay, Max, Max, se me hace que te estás enamorando.(Ay, Max, Max, it seems to me you’re falling in love.)
When Fabián comes in and wonders why he isn’t dressed for his father’s film premiere, he tells him he’s not in the mood. Say, could you do me a favor-- says Max. Would you mind escorting my sister tonight? No need to ask twice. We all know Fabián has a thing for Fer.
Fabián watches as Fer comes down the stairs in a bizarrely matronly get-up. (Did she borrow a costume from the set of Alicia en el país de la Meravillas?) In the rudest possible way, she accepts his offer to accompany her for the evening.
We see Padilla selling the car that Scuzzy Tattoo Boy thought of as his own. Nice. One less moron on the road.
At the premiere of Osvaldo’s film, fancy people are arriving in their fancy wheels. We see Toni and Pipino, Guillermo and a woman in red, and Pedro and Ofelia.
In somewhat less fancy wheels, a public taxi to be exact, Padilla rides with Tattoo Boy. He bailed him out with the money he got for selling the car. Padilla is mocking his son’s band – You think you’ll get rich from that? No, admits Tattoo Boy. But he does have a millionaire girlfriend and she’ll be their ticket to the big money. Padilla’s ears perk up. Yeah, continues Scuzz Boy, her father is the famous actor, Osvaldo Sandoval.
Back at the premiere, Osvaldo and Victoria are climbing up the stairs of the red carpet and are confronted by LindaHo coming down. (Who knows how she got in.) She smiles boldly at Os.
Tattoo Boy continues: Her ma is a big deal designer with her own fashion house. Padilla wants to meet the suegros, natch. He’ll get his chance at Fer’s birthday party, sonny boy tells him.
LindaHo asks for Osvaldo’s autograph. He signs and the matrimonio Sandoval moves ahead as Victoria remarks: Vaya manera de pedir un autógrafo. (That was quite a way to ask for an autograph.) It looked like you knew her. Don’t make a scene, says Osvaldo, not tonight.
Padilla is back at Bernie’s to pay off his debt. (I guess he got a good price on the car.) He leaves and she is counting her money when Tomasa comes in with a message: A volunteer called to remind her she has promised – apparently grudgingly – to visit the children’s hospital tomorrow. (Just what those poor kids need – a visit from the Bride of Satan.) Tomasa asks where the money came from. What money? says Bernie as she stashes the roll of bills and reminds Tomasa of her oath to Christ to keep her piehole shut.
Padre Juan Pablo can’t sleep. He is worried about María D and determined to talk to the woman who humilliated her. He’ll keep trying until he gets through to her. Meanwhile, he is sanding little crosses. It helps him relax.
LindaHo comes back to the apartment all excited about her daring ambush of Osvaldo at the premiere. Her roomies disapprove.
The premiere is over and when Osvaldo walks out, he seems to be looking around (perhaps for Linda?) Fer, arrogant as always, orders Fabián to take her to dinner. He, poor idiot, is only too happy to comply.
The three roomies sit at the table scarfing down sandwiches. They’re delicious, Nathy assures María. You’ll sell them all very early. I hope so, says MD, because tomorrow afternoon I’m going with the nuns to visit the children's hospital. (Those kids may be in for quite an afternoon!) Then the doorbell rings. It’s Max.
What a horrible place this is, whines Fer to Fabián when the two are seated at a restaurant. Gosh, he thought it was a pretty nice place. Poor fool keeps trying. He says gamely, if lamely:
Te han dicho que eres muy bonita?(Has anyone ever told you you’re very pretty?)
Muchas veces (many times), she spits back at him. And then she says dismissively:
No me estarás echando los perros – ya tengo mi novio. Y además, tú no eres mi tipo.(I hope you’re not coming on to me – I already have a boyfriend. And anyway, you’re not my type.)
Max and María are out together. He says: So you’ve definitely decided not to go back to the agency. What exactly happened? María prefers not to talk about it. Ok, he says, only I would have liked a chance to defend you. (Me hubiera gustado defenderte). And he gallantly kisses her hand.
The premiere, it seems, was a disappointment. Guillermo is having a drink with Ofelia and Pedro, trying hard to disguise his pleasure at the lukewarm reception Osvaldo’s film got at the premiere. Pedro says it wasn’t Osvaldo’s fault; the role just wasn’t a good fit for him. You can’t fool the public, says, Ofelia, and this film is a stinker. Salud!
At home, Victoria consoles Osvaldo but he has been in the business long enough to know how to interpret an audience’s silence. The film is a flop. Even so, he is grateful she was there with him. He needed her at his side. And he loves her.
María explains to Max how she’s going to earn her keep. The nuns in Guadalajara taught her how to make tortas ahogadas (literally, drowned sandwiches). So she’s got herself a stand in the market and she’ll be preparing them and selling them. And why not? It’s honorable work. (trabajo decente) He promises to be her number one customer. He bats his beautiful long lashes at her and apologizes for the way he treated her before. He has no doubt now that she is a wonderful, sweet girl, as pure as her eyes. And there’s something he has to tell her… Before he can complete the thought, the owner of the café approaches with the bill. It’s closing time.
The following day, Osvaldo reads the scathing reviews of his film in the newspapers. Victoria tells him his work was impeccable; it’s not his fault if the project failed. He still feels responsible. Yet he is again grateful that V is standing by him – she makes him feel he is the happiest man in the world. And the luckiest. Stay with me all day, he begs her. She refuses. She has a meeting with Oscar. But don’t lose heart (No te desanímate) she says. And she leaves as the phone rings. Osvaldo picks up the receiver. We all know who will be on the other end: the indefatigable stalker, LindaHo.
Max is totally into the market stall experience. He helps María set up her table, and prepare the tortas. Then he tastes one and declares (in English): Oh. My. God. He is her front man, her promoter, her assistant. Between the two of them, the tortas ahogadas sell out in no time.
Linda has persuaded Osvaldo to meet her in a restaurant. She’s telling him she, for one, looooved his film (me fascinó). He’s glad to hear it. After all, artists work for the public, not for the critics. She swoops in for a landing on his face but he pulls away. No, he tells her. This is a dangerous game. Let’s leave it alone.
At the Casa de Modas, Toni tells Victoria that it’s time to face facts: María Desamparada isn’t coming back. They have to find a new model.
LindaHo is swooping, swooping, swooping… and she hits her target. Prolonged lip lock. Then, ever so breathily, she purrs:
¿Porqué no me invitas a un lugar más íntimo donde podamos estar solos?(Why don’t you invite me someplace more intimate where we can be alone?)
María is telling her roomies what a mensch Max is turning out to be, how he helped her sell her tortas… the tale is interrupted by the doorbell. ¡No puede ser! It’s Queen Victoria! Deadpan, she asks María:
¿Porqué no te has presentado a trabajar?(Why didn’t you show up for work?)
Levy in the kayak.
María Desamparada is where we left her last Friday – sobbing in Juan Pablo’s arms. He will be her father, just as he is a father to all his flock, and he will take care of her. She will be his daughter.
Victoria is still convinced María will come back to work as if nothing had happened. Toni’s not so sure.

NovelaMaven great work as always on the recap.
I have to ask didn't Max think on Friday's episode that Maria knew he was Vicki's son or assumed she would know by being told by anyone who worked there?
Victoria is really full of herself and Toni is a enabler she's been with Victoria a long time she have come out and told her she can't treat people like that she of all people should no better from what she has experience in life.
LindaHO can someone just put a stamp on her forehead saying "easy as long as your my meal ticket" on her forehead and call it a day.
Fabian please get a backbone and tell off that little b!tchy Victoria Jr. in training where to get off.

You are hilarious, NovelaMaven. I had to read your opening paragraph to my husband, another cultural elitist, since he rolls his eyes when I watch a novela. Thanks for the laughs.

Thanks for the wonderful recap. I laughed from beginning to fin. It helps ease my anger about some of the estupideces.
Like Blusamurai I wonder about Max's 180.
I'm so annoyed with Victoria the Hun. She can't take *one* day to be with her husband? Os is really growing on me, BUT he can do better than LindaHo.
Victoria is just schizo. I can't figure her out. It's a little like Valentina Villalba. Sweet and vulnerable one minute, set off and burning cabanas the next. Unfortunately, with Victoria you never know what's going to set her off.
I find it too perfectly convenient that Fer is with TB who happens to be the son of Abuser Padilla who happens to rent from Bride of Satan.
I love how Oh.My.God. has become an international phrase. I heard it on the streets of Spain a couple of years ago and I thought it was hilarious. When Max said it last night I got a kick out of it. But did anyone else think about the risk of food poisoning?

Dear Novela Maven,
Thank you for the summary. I guess we call these "cultural elitists" novela widowers/widows -- kinda like weekend football, only it's every night of the week. My family has been quite patient over the years!
I always love the way that everyone in Mexico City, pop. 18 million (??) knows each other. Of course Victoria's tormentor would be in debt to Bernarda. And his son is dating Fernanda!
I think the novela is settling into the story now and the characters ever more predictable. With Victoria Ruffo the histrionics have a big payoff in the end, IMHO. Tears will eventually abound among the viewers as well.
I happened to catch a few minutes of the novela Victoria yesterday, with VR and Arturo Peniche. It was a shorter novela, supposed to be quite good. And, in the clip I saw, VR was crying. Go figure.
I do look forward to these coming scenes where, according to the previews, the special bond between Maria D. and Victoria is felt by both.
Thank you for the summary. I guess we call these "cultural elitists" novela widowers/widows -- kinda like weekend football, only it's every night of the week. My family has been quite patient over the years!
I always love the way that everyone in Mexico City, pop. 18 million (??) knows each other. Of course Victoria's tormentor would be in debt to Bernarda. And his son is dating Fernanda!
I think the novela is settling into the story now and the characters ever more predictable. With Victoria Ruffo the histrionics have a big payoff in the end, IMHO. Tears will eventually abound among the viewers as well.

Great work, NovelaMaven.
I'm with Sara on the issue of Victoria needing to give Osv more time. She owns the bloody company, so why can't she leave Antonieta in charge for the day?
There is a tremendous inconsistency here, because control freaks usually can't grow a business to this size due to their need to oversee every little detail. You need to be able to delegate authority as well as tasks so you can do the next big thing, even if you're the kind of workaholic Victoria appears to be.
I was wondering how long it was going to take to reveal that Tattoo Boy is the rapist's son. It wouldn't surprise me if the boy's mother ran out on him, but as I typed that I started wondering if Padilla murdered her.
Bitchtoria's next meeting with PJP will be very significant.
Within two episodes we will have some more intense histrionics from Bernarda.
Fernanda just keeps getting worse. Fabian needs to take the blinders off.
Considering the timing of events, I'm already thinking that this series will be at least 180 episodes (EPDA was 155).

NovelaMaven: !!!!! Ozzie and Harridan!!! Perfecto..pero P.E.R.F.E.C.T.O!!!
Thank you so much for a wonderfully written recap! :))
Wouldn't you know...just as the TN started, phone rang and caller spoke to me for one hour. I put the telly on mute and was trying not to let the action distract the call...I was really wondering about the dialogue when LindaHo popped up at the premier. What cheek and what nerve. She is trash...pure and simple.
I wonder why Ofelia wants to see Oz fail if it is only Victoria that she despises? Perhaps Oz refused her advances in the past? It makes one wonder.
Victoria needs to get a grip, but I don't see that happening any time soon.
Max and his behaviour still puzzle me. Can I safely assume that his only intention from the beginning was to simply take MD to bed? Is it only now that he is coming to realise that he might actually have bona fide feelings for her? I guess I've been the only one to be so slow in seeing what Mad Max is about.
As for St. Bernard, the dog, oh my...she's going to use The Rapist for all he's worth and then some when she finds out (if she doesn't already know) the connection to Victoria.
In the opening scenes, they make it appear as if she is the big deal (en el papel de Bernarda, et, etc, ), but her character has absolutely NO interest for me.
LindaHO is going to do her best to come between Oz and Victoria. It will only be a matter of time at the rate she is going given how 'vulnerable' Oz is at the moment.

Muchas gracias, NovelaMaven, for another marvellous recap. I broke up over your opening paragraph, especially "The Adventures of Ozzie and Harridan"! Your description of Mr. Maven made me wonder whether you'd been spying on my house. :-) Actually, it looks as if several of us are telenovela viudas with cultural elitist partners.
As always, I loved your snark and greatly appreciated your help with Spanish.

¡Buenos días a todos! Muchísimas gracias!
Blu -- yes, on Friday Max still assumed that María knew who he was. But here's how I see it:
I think María's reaction to being fired changed his perception of her. She didn't come to him for help, didn't even want to tell him what happened. She decided to get on with her life and chose a particularly humble way to do so -- selling tortas at the mercado. Max had been holding back, trying to look at her with detachment. But last night he realized he had fallen in love with her.
Anon 4:34 -- So then you can feel my pain? :-)
Sara -- Oh. My. God. I did not know that! How funny! And "did anyone else think of food poisoning?" Yo siempre. But then I realized the good sisters must have taught MD about food safety and then I figured that unlike visiting gringos, the mercado customers had the gut flora to handle what M&M were dishing out.
Traveling lady -- Absolutely. It is a riot that the ginormous DF is treated as if it were a pueblo pequeño with all these people running into each other by coincidence. And I am also an admirer of Victoria Ruffo. Her acting skills, IMHO, are top-notch. What's over the top in this novela is NOT the acting -- It's the writing. (Not that that's a bad thing...)
Oh my, Urban, do you really think 180 episodes? Let's not tell Mr. Maven, shall we?
Susanita -- So glad you got a chuckle or two out of this. Yeah, that Linda is some piece of work!
--Ofelia's advances WERE rebuffed by Osvaldo so now she resents Victoria AND her husband.
--Max's true feelings for MD have been hard to track because he's been kind of a phony until now. I guess only time will tell how long the new and improved Max will last.

NovelaMaven: ITA...Max has been one huge phoney.
Oh...so Ofelia DID go after Oz?! No wonder she was so pleased last night.
yes...I am usually the last to know and figure it out on these types of things! LOL!
180 Capitulos? Do you really think so, UA? Wowsers. This is going to be one long haul.

Wow, NovelaMaven, that was a fun ride. Thank you. You always make the murky, messy storyline clearer for me. I loved ''The Adventures of Ozzie and Harridan.'' [Did you know that David, the last member of that famous tv family, just died ?] I can barely stand to watch Loose Linda and Spoiled Fer. Fer's hat was......I have no words. I have to switch channels when Linda starts cooing and wiggling and oozing over Os. She is really determined to take advantage of that midlife crisis waiting to happen. Bleeecchh. She'll probably grow up and end up with fab Fab.

Whoops. I was distracted ...I meant that Fer would probably end up with Fab. I'm hoping that Loose Linda ends up selling those sandwiches at the mercado since the Mary Kay venture didn't seem to work out for her.

As to the street food, I had a student years ago who was a doctor from Mexico married to an American Spanish teacher. He told me that he never ate food from street vendors , but his wife did without any bad results. Go figure.

180 wouldn't be much more than EPDA (155), since we're waiting an average of two episodes more for certain significant events or revelations. So far I don't see any new characters who weren't in EPDA, but that doesn't exclude the possibility.
TB was Padilla's son in EPDA, but the Padilla character was someone with a lot more status in his milieu who was not beholden to Mommie Dearest. The TB character was also much less repulsive.

It just dawned on me...that hat that Fony Fer had on reminded me of a hat I saw on a recent "Thin Man" movie with Myrna Loy and William Powell...very thirties, but very stupid looking on Fony Fer.
UA: I don't know...180 is going to a hugely long haul! LOL!

Thanks, Susanlynn! You know I did read about David Nelson's passing -- that must be why "The Adventures of Ozzie and Harridan" came to mind. As for Linda and Fer, well "Bleeecchh" is the perfect word!
Jardinera, gracias! I gotta admit, I'm having fun with this thing.

Novela Maven, me encanta tu trabajo. :) Your first paragraph was too funny and cute. I'll be back later to read your recap otra vez, but I need to run some errands right now. Muchisimas gracias.
NovelaMaven: as usual, the recap is better-reading than watching. thanks!
Ay no!! 180 capitulos of estupidez. O Dios, give me patience.

Since this is a mother-&-daughter protagonist story, by definition it will be longer than a story about one couple. AMF was 136 episodes back when 80-100 was the average length, EPDA was 155 a year later.
Novelas with 3 couples, like PDG and FELS, are now running to 200.
However, when you look historically at novela lengths, you'll see that they have been getting longer: The 1966 Corazon Salvaje was 62 30-minute episodes, the 1977 version was 138 30-minute episodes, and the 1993 one is listed as 159 30-minute episodes.
I'm not counting the 2009 version here because it was a different story, but you get the picture.
La Mentira went from 45 30-minute eps in 1965 to 100 60-minute ones in 1998. There is a similar increase for La Esposa Virgen.
This probably means a glut of filler scenes in addition to a story change of some kind. I'm going to guess that fewer productions in general = fewer sets to build or locations to negotiate for shooting.

NovelaMaven, thank you for the great recap of a nothing episode. The tortas made me hungry and that is about it.
That Linda is one very much in heat young perra. I am surprised she is not chasing cars when not chasing after Ozzie.

Excellent recap, NovelaMaven. I keep meaning to stop watching this and not doing so.
The Fernanda character is beyond awful. There's something almost distorted about her mouth, something that's exaggerated when she snarls at those she thinks beneath her (practically everyone). And yes, both Fer and Tattoo Boy were MUCH less repulsive in El Privilegio de Amar.
And I can't STAND Linda. What a dunce? Or maybe not. Trying again and again until you succeed in kissing a well-known actor in public is just outrageous. And he should know better. There are probably paparrazi on every street corner.
So far I'm liking Victoria Ruffo's performance, as well as Osvaldo Rios. But many of the supporting characters seem very weak to me.

¿¡180!? Ack! That's what...9 months...give or take?
I guess I'll have to take the trip, though. I'm pretty interested in these characters.
Fony Fer is the perfect nickname. Hate.her.
Is there a "recapper in training" program? One day in the future it would be so cool to be a reapper. Yeah. I wanna be a recapper when I grow up. (All I need is to find the snark and Spanish skillz.)

For a good definition of "vulgar" Victoria should take a look at herself and Fer. It's not in the makeup, it's in the behavior. Every time Fer does that sneering thing she looks even lower-class than Linda. And Vicky, treating people like rubbish is not classy and looks way worse than bright blush.
Cielo and Shallowgal -- Gracias, amigas!
Rosemary -- Nice to see you here.
"That Linda is one very much in heat young perra. I am surprised she is not chasing cars when not chasing after Ozzie."
-- LOL. How do we know she isn't?
Urban -- thanks for the historical data. I suppose the actual number of episodes is less important than how well paced they are. We'll see, won't we?
Novelera -- Thanks. I'm glad to see you here. It's funny how we all seem to detest LindaHo and FoneyFer more than the psychoserial killer of Bernarda.
Sara -- be careful what you wish for! Blog mom Melinama is always looking for recappers. I'll let her know about your question. But from the comments you've made here, it seems your snark and your Spanish are working very nicely, thank you.

Gracias NovelaMaven,
No quiero obligarme a algo que no puedo hacer....pero...perhaps...un día... baby steps.
My fear is that my cable company does not have CC3 and the Spanish subtitles are a waste. I am literally dependent on my own Spanish skills. I'm pretty lost when JuanJo, Napo et al start talking (just like when Timo and Lumi started yaking.) And heaven help me if someone is overexcited or crying. Heck, some days I have trouble with WL and Maite.
I don't know how dependable I would be as a "regular." It's just that lately I have found myself thinking I should take snark notes so I could remember to share them with ya'll. I haven't actually done it yet....
Have I just made myself look pathetic and sad? lol

Sara, chica, ¿cómo crees? Jajaja
But I do know what you mean about Juanjo and Don Napo -- when they put on their fake Chilango accent (I think of it as the Mexico City equivalent of New Yawkese) I have to turn up my ear trumpet. The good news is they hardly ever say anything critical to the story.
I'm actually one of the least experienced recappers around here. People like Julia and Jardinera and 5ft Latina, just to name a few, could probably give you some good advice. But I'd say try your hand at recapping a single section and then maybe compare it with what shows up in the blog. (Jardinera's work would be especially useful as a template because she is always so complete and accurate -- not to mention ridiculously funny!)
For now, I hope you'll stick around and keep commenting -- you're pretty good with the zingers, amiga!

Sara, if you want to try recapping but don't want to commit to a regular slot, just offer your services next time someone goes on vacation or has another commitment and asks for a substitute. It's a great way to test it out and see how you do.
Keep in mind, you don't need to include ALL the conversational detail...in fact, that would be tedious...just try to keep everyone up on the major action. If you miss something that people think is important, someone will fill in the information in the comments. We're all learners here; even those who are fluent in Spanish (most of us aren't) miss things occasionally due to mumbling and slang and such.
Once you try it, you'll probably find it's so much fun you want to keep recapping.

Mad Max is making me jealous with his daily kayaking. I wish the weather would warm up so I could take out my own kayak without freezing to death.
Novelera i remember the same about Fer from EPDA she was less repugnant as she is in this one. It seems like they're exaggerating how nasty as a spoiled brat she is.
Julia ita Victoria and her mini-Bitchtoria in the making thanks UA that's a good nickname for her are truly the definition of vulgar there's no ugly and applied make-up that can out do these two in their offensive attitudes.
As for LindaHo' maybe we need to get her spayed possibly that might calm her down but i seriously doubt it.

Wow @NovelaMaven! For a "not experienced recapper" you're great! I will start paying closer attention to 5ft, Jardinera and Julia. And of course channeling my inner snark.
@Julia-I'll look out for sub requests. Especially on Fridays. I don't know how our wonderful recappers get the recaps up so lickety split quick. They are awesome.

NovelaMaven, another super recap. The recaps and "cue the kayak" are the only things keeping me sorta watching this stereotypical mess. I guess I like the ranchera and historical costume TNs better than the city ones featuring lives of the rich and famous.

I agree La Paloma. I'm a sucker for rancheras and period TN. This one is growing on me, though. The recaps have a lot to do with it.
..everyone, i need help..i think i was not able to watch this episode...pls..help..what epi. is this?
