Triunfo del Amor #83 4/1/11 Doña Demento’s Day of Devine Retribution
Labels: triunfo
How much do you want to bet that Jimena is the mother of Alonso's child. I'd also like to say that I never considered Alonso to be such a guapo name until TDA.
Burnarda's hair cracked me up! Is she trying to appear youthful and hip? It reminded me of Erica from All My Children in the 70's!
I was surprised that you noted that Oz is a southpaw. I know very few people that are left-handed but watching these TN I find a quite a few of them, including Lucero. I wonder if it comes with the acting gene?
Roxy and BSCX are not going to take the news of the new status of the Sandovals, it should be fun to watch. Just wait until Roxy and Burnie lock horns. BSCX will probably join evil forces with Burnie, they deserve each other.
No doubt that BSCX is the baby mama of Alonso aborted baby. She is really going to pay for that sin.
I am glad to see that Oz now knows about the baby and joins JP in supporting her and the baby.
Well, Gui didn't die and isn't in a coma, drat. Maybe next time.
Where is Ofelia's corpse today? Maybe it is in Gui's bed since he won't let anyone in there.

And as for Cheery PT lady—those gals (and guys) saved my life after hip surgery. I think they all must do a whole semester in "uber-cheerfulness" before they allow them to graduate. It's peculiar to Physical Therapists (who I admire more than almost any other health professional). When they first rolled me out of bed to do the exercises I was a close second to Fernanda for grouchiness. We'll see how long she stays that way; especially if Pablo starts in with that song outside her window again.
Has it ever come to mind to Max all the times that same darn Dr. has treated the drama queen XXX-factor to ask how far a long she is in her pregnancy? How about like someone mentioned before put a PI on her tail. Boy is he clueless he strongly suspected she cheated on him before that's why he broke up with her and now he finds her at Gui's house? Ok the supposed jumping from the car that was the final straw go and tell your emotional blackmailing parents her latest stunt and have her committed. This is what happens when you give into crazy emotional blackmail now she doesn't want you to leave her ever.
I'm sorry i was ROFL when Fer jumped on the PT like that it was too funny.
I don't get what Os said to Maria E. he knew before they married that Max didn't love BSC XXX-factor.
Someone mentioned the other day because Victoria has refused to discuss her past concerning both Bernie and Padilla that she was opening herself up to what happen and now it's true Bernie is the unknown partner for casa de Victoria. I happen to like this new wrinkle in this version and now she is at the mercy of Bernie with her business talk about coming full circle to where they started off before.
I guess Bernarda owns 51% since that was a big deal in the sale.
Oz will never learn, he signs those divorce papers w/o even reading them.
Ok Oz, you have agreed to turn over all your future earnings to Victoria.
Some things that popped in to my head during the episode:
IRT Fer-Linda had a scratch and was in the hospital for days. Fer has a major spine injury and it appears she had outpatient surgery. And she sure can beat the crap out of the uber-cheerful PT girl for someone with a spine injury. That scene had me laughing. I feel for Fer.
IRT Alonso/BSCX- As he told the story I highly suspected he was speaking of Xi and the avances confirmed it. But I seem to remember BSCX telling mom she tried to trap a man with a baby and it didn't work, so I think somewhere between Xi's version and Al's version lies the truth.
IRT Os- He seemed so genuinely pleased that Maria was pregnant with Max's child. Has he even referred to BSCX's baby as his nieto? Has Vic? I know Xi has pulled the "your nieto" card, but I can only remember Vic and Os referring to the baby as "tu hijo" when they talk to Max.
IRT Burnie- I absolutely detest the Burnie-as-partner plot. I know I may be the only one, but for me it just doesn't jibe with her as religious zealot. Sure, it's the best way to 1. put the knife in Vic's back and 2. twist it mercilessly, but I will have to get a major beanie adjustment. I guess I was just hoping for an out of the blue mystery character. Eh. I'll live.
In general- we have definitely entered a darker period for the story and I often find myself missing the "good ol' days" when Vic was on top, Os was feeling ignored and Linda was boiling bunnies.
It was sweet how happy he was to be expecting a nieto from Maria. But his excuse for pushing Max to marry Xi didn't jive. Great observation about him never having the same proud reaction to Xi having his nieto.
Jar- This was a wonderful and funny recap. Great set up in this episode for the next stage in the game. Max and Maria apart; Maria being Alonso's muse; Vic and Os divorced; Fer wallowing in self pity in her bedroom; Max and Xi in a downward spiral; and Burnie in control of Vic's business. Fun times ahead!
Last Wednesday a new telenovela started at 9pm—Teresa. I’m sure most of you have seen the ads, as Uni has been advertising the heck out of it the last few weeks. I’ve heard some people were turned off by the idea of a bad girl heroine. Forget the ads. That’s just sensationalism. Yes, Teresa is not a “good girl.” She is no saint, nor a martyr, as our usual tn heroines tend to be. But here’s what you do get: A heroine who is whip smart, intelligent, takes crap from no one, ambitious, and clever. There are no star crossed lovers being kept apart by bad, evil people. But our heroine has two very handsome love interests. So far the writing and acting are excellent, and we are all on the edge of our seats to see what our plucky heroine will do next.
The problem: We have NO recappers for this show. That’s right, 0. The first few episodes were recapped with screenshots from temporary recappers-- Aribeth and Jeri, fresh from duty from their Insomniacs Club midnight recapping duties on LVO. These ladies deserve a break. For those of you bored with Herederos del Monte on Telemundo at 9, Teresa is a more exciting option. For any of you Eva Luna and Llena de Amor recappers who will be free to recap again when your shows end in the next few weeks, please consider recapping Teresa and contact Melinama. For any folks who want to try recapping for the first time, give it a try! You’ll be great! For any others looking for a quality tn that’s a little different from the norm, join us! We’d love to have more folks join the discussion on the character and motivations of this interesting (gasp!) heroine.
I've tried twice to post today without success.
I'll make this short, in hopes that I can post this time. Lots happening at TDA, all pretty convoluted and departing more and more from EPDA.
Alonso told Maria & Nati that he was in love with a woman but she was bad and he didn't realize how evil she was until it was too late. One day she got rid of the baby and his love for her turned to hate.
I'm thinking Ximeana got pregnant on purpose to trap Alonso into marriage (since Xi only deals with rich guys, Al is probably rich underneath the scruff). Al didn't want to marry Xi (cuz she crazy) but did want to take care of the baby, so for spite Xi had an abortion.
(my verification word is "ovenes" which is probably where Ofelia is)
I like the Alonso character. I know he is not destined for Maria, but I hope he gets a happy ending.
Bernarda's religious fanaticism is always retrofitted to her purpose of the moment. She goes on and on about God, but ignores the mandate of forgiveness, abuses the confessional, and thinks she's above the 10 Commandments, particularly Thou Shalt Not Kill.
This plot twist is ripe for speculation. Dona Dementa Disturbide (Love that one!) will do one or more of the following:
-- Get rid of Antonieta and anyone else who supports Victoria
-- Allow Roxana to embezzle from the company
-- Possibly embezzle funds herself
-- Get Maria back after she has the baby and set her and Victoria against each other
-- Make things so horrible that the remaining staff quits.
If this were ancient times the gods would have incinerated her by now.
As to Bernarda's clothes, I can't ever remember seeing her in a dress.
JP is not going to like this one bit. He will need an ally to help protect Maria and Victoria so I think he's going to come clean with Osvaldo, at least to disclose that he is the father of Victoria's first daughter. That would at least explain his BSC mother's Satanic hatred of Victoria and give Osvaldo a weapon to fight her with.
As for Victoria in order for her to unite with Os and help her overcome her enemies she needs to find forgiveness and get rid of the hate she has first especially towards Maria E. and learn how to speak civilly towards people.
Right now there are the BSC women running around in this novela Bernie,XXX-factor and Victoria and Roxana is heading towards that territory herself too.
ITA w/all of you on the call about Alonso and XXX factor. There is only one women in all of Mexico who would have an abortion and she's Max's wife.
The story is taking an interesting twist from EPDA. While I can try to have patience with them killing off Linda and Bernie w/51% of the company, I still can't tolerate JJ and hope he nobly ends the TN alone and Nathi is w/Fabian.
I got behind in the recaps after Monday so thanks to Susanita, a fantastic debut, Sara, and Kat. You all keep me updated and laughing.
Also thanks so much UA for sharing your story with us. I really enjoy the support and transparency on this blog.
All this "protecting" of whoever, by withholding information, has got to stop. All they are doing is delaying the inevitable & creating more troubles & grief.
Sorry, I cannot help with any recaps. 1. I'm still learning espanol& it would be skeletal outlines and 2. I can only commit to one telenovela - my brain cells can only take so much of this new coding. =)
Blusamari - Count me among those who were roflol at Fer attacking the PT. ;-) At least it made Fer's 'swollen' right eye open up-LOL
Rosemary - re: southpaws It has been my observation that left-handed people are highly creative and/or artsy. I've noticed some telenovela characters who are lefties..... possibly incl. Silvia Navarro in MEPS but I'm not sure if that's the right actress & TN.
When Osvaldo put his hand on Maria's stomach, it creeped me out. Does she really even know him? Does he know her well enough to do that? I thought it was a bit inappropriate --- he didn't even ask if I remember correctly.
Burn-arda's hair-twist bun is now on the side of her head. New hairstyle = new etapa, but usually for the protagonista.
Vivi in DC - sorry I can't help out with "Teresa" but had to LOL over your comments because I was bored with Los Herederos Del Monte after the first ten minutes, and never looked back. ;-)
When I had knee surgery, I didn't enjoy the physical therapist's demands at the beginning, but the process helped my recovery a lot. At least I only acted a little sulky and didn't attack the woman.
Oz was quite sweet to Maria and now she has another supporter on her team. XXX is just ridiculous. She has to be Alonso's past love and reluctant baby mama. Let's see some retribution for her.
Now that Bernie's a partner with Vicki (loved the slow reveal), we're probably in for a wild ride. I look forward to how she handles a new career.
La Paloma
What I think she really wants is to drive Victoria to suicide.
And are we seeing the beginnings of a print career for MariaD? Somebody already mentioned this possibility. I would so love to see her victorious over Victoria. One of the things I confess I love about this show is the glam of the fashion world y la farándula. Wouldn't it be a great fantasy if Alonso featured her as a pregnant model?
I sure hope Mark Tacher sticks around Univision. Love that rough n tumble look of his --and his beard actually LOOKS like a beard should look--or maybe it's just my zorramones kicking in. I know the idea is for his character to kick Max out of neutral, but still I don't think Max deserves Maria after giving her up like he has when common sense would have led him long before any wedding to get a DNA test done on that fetus.
BTW, have you done any more paintings while recuperating?
==============
Rosemary: ITA and have been thinking that things may change rather radically once Roxi and daughter realize the family fortunate aren't any longer....
==============
Blusa: Fer is 3X's match in looney if only she could get out of that bed!
================
Vario/Sara: I'm figuring at least 51% now for Burnie also. We can only imagine the puritanical iron curtain she's going to pull down on that fashion design house. If Pepi was pissed before now with Roxi..... ¡Ay chihuaha!
==============
Traveling Lady/Blusa: The refritos never seem to follow the originals that closely, except for MEPS, and now I understand perhaps for Teresa. Part of the "charm" I guess. Always a disappointment for me, but then, I really never watched EPDA.
=============
Karen: ITA about JJ. Bech! Whatever aura he has about him on the field, it doesn't translate well onto the screen.
==========
La Paloma: Abuelo Oz and the hands on the belly didn't do much for me at all. I didn't buy his sudden regret at forcing Max to marry Ms. Ji-strung or the way he so matter-of-factly mentions she's not right in the head.
Stick the gal in a private mental clinic already and keep her in a padded cell while she dries out if she can't be medicated!!
=============
UrbanAn: I like your suicide plot idea. Makes perfect sense.
After a big struggle with myself, I checked in to the comments. It's great to see some of the LevyLoversLeftOver from Sortilegio.
Jardinera, nice to see you here; Blusamurai, too; but where oh where in Levy-Heaven is Cielo de Levy?
I'll be posting comments from time to time, but won't go back to read them all, so forgive me if I duplicate things that have already been discussed and settled.
Things that bother me so far:
1. Why oh why did they put glasses on Frizzy Natti? Everytime the cameras zoom in, you can see green klieg lights reflected in her lenses. Ah well.
Newbie-O-K
Doris yeah that eye did mange to open during the whupa$$ moment with the PT didn't it? Still ROFL i keep replaying that scene and having a real good laugh.
Newbie-One-Kanobe glad to see you here.
Vivi i have to admit i'm starting to be pulled into watching Teresa and i am definitely not a Sebastian Rulli fan at all.I thought Angelique hair was like dark brown because i saw her being interview on Gordo y Flaca last week and it looked like her hair was black then.I enjoy Ana Brenda Contreras and just love her presence on the screen.
I think the one guy who hasn't mange to be looking scruffy is Fabian come to think of it i don't believe he ever looked like that in this novela maybe he didn't get that memo either.
Susanlynn- I'm not sure Teresa will end up with anyone at the end. But I think for a while she'll have them both.
Blu and Susalynn: Angelique's natural hair is blond, she had to dye it dark brown for Mujeres Asesinas and a lighter brown for Corazón Salvaje and I think they dyed it either black or very dark brown for Teresa and she has kept it until now but maybe the tint has fallen a little or she changed it to a lighter color.

Jarocha
Teresa did very well and ended great, Cuando Me Enamoro did okay, La Fuerza del Destino is doing very good. Una Familia Con Suerte started great but now is just okay. All the rest are doing bad or worse.
Jarocha
With the way the novela ends, I think a second part is imposible.
Jarocha
I have not been watching Teresa. I barely have time for TdA, and I'm also trying to keep up with PVaA (it's really good.)
