Triunfo del Amor #130-131 5/27/11 P1. Vicki Makes New Friends and Lush-ous Leonela Longs for Auld Lang Syne; P 2. You Don’t Tug on Superman’s Cape, You Don’t Spit Into the Wind, You Don’t Pull on the Mask of That Ol’ Lone Ranger And You Don’t Mess Around With Burnie!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
As PJP prays for his mama’s soul, Fausto informs Ste. Burnarda that he knows each and every one of her sins and begins to tell her what he remembers of the day his face got scarred: the house locked from the outside, the flames burning his toys and both his parents; the way his father tried to find a hole for them to escape from but then was stopped because a burning beam fell down on his mother; how his father then, with the last of what strength remained, broke a window and threw him out of it, thereby saving his life.

Thanks so much. I love your take on the bath. Jeez, unbelievable.
I'm losing heart. Last night's was a particularly long and and discouraging episode.
I do wish that JP would stop worrying about his mother's immortal soul and worry more about the damage she continues to do!
So Victoria spills her guts to a stranger & has kept the secrect from her family for a couple of decades, WTF?????!!!!! It's getting so that I can't stand her stupid character. Can't blame Osvaldo for straying.
If I counted right, it was a 2 slap night
Bernarda/Fausto
Victoria/Padilla
Is anyone watching Cuando Me Enamoro, I sure would like to see Silvia Navarro, but it's just not a convenient time. It HAS to be better than this basura. I really do like Daniela Romo's performance though, she really does evil justice & reason to stay with it.
Camino a Premios TV y Novelas
I see the Premios ad saying Domingo, but don't see it in my TV guide.
I guess Leonela's bath was for all the LindaHo lovers, who missed butt cracks in the air and gyrations.
Cristina is going to do a special on Telemundo when La reina del sur ends. She will be on Jun 1st.

And how can Max put Leonela up in a secured hotel room where nobody can get in or out except on Max's orders, but Maria and baby JP are still living in the vecindad?
Well, thankfully that didn't happen, but then she dropped her head beneath the water... suicide by drowning? Fortunately... nopis.
Of course, I rewound and watched a second time... just to make sure that she was really OK.

It seems like we've been in a holding pattern for a long time. Vic, quit wailing and keeping secrets. Also, quit disregarding Antonieta. PJP, give up already on your mother. She's an evil nutcase and begging her isn't going to change that. Eva and Fausto, quit twiddling your thumbs and actually get your revenge on Burnie somehow. Max, quit talking about marrying Maria and actually do it. Maria, take a little initiative as regards your own safety. Sheesh.
VarioPinta - I saw the ad on TV for Premios on Sunday night, if that helps.
Another nice bit of acting -- the look on Padilla's face while Demente is shooting Scorpion guy.
Fausto's outburst took me by surprise. I hope he doesn't end up paying for it.
At first I was a little irritated by the only gay couple in the story being shown as a couple of buffoons. But then I turned the Harrumphers on my PC detector way way down when I remembered that just about everyone in this story is shown as a buffoon.
I thought the Os/Vic/scar scene was well done.
I thought the conversation between Leonela & Dr. Voice was very well done.
I also thought killing off Scorpion Dud was well done, and the only thing Burnie has done right. I doubt we're done with Rudy yet.
As to Max's mixed-up priorities I believe this is about Leonela being the kind of high-maintenance b1tch that gives all women a bad name and Maria not being demanding.
Besides the one unsafe element in that slum -- El Alarcan -- was there at Bernarda's orders. Maria doesn't really need to fear anything else there and there is nowhere that Max could have hidden her from Dona Dementa. Even with El Alarcan out of the way, Bernarda will find some way to torment her.
Ximeana and Guillermo are just as relentless. The only safety measure that could potentially work is a high-security apartment building with additional bodyguards, the latter of which Maria would probably not consent to.
As to JP's apparent denial of his ability to exorcise Bernarda's evil, I can only compare it to the reverse situation with a parent who can't see evil in his/her child (like Roxana most of the time).
I think Fausto made a huge mistake with Dona Dementa.
Monday's episode should be quite explosive.
I did like Fausto telling Burnie his truth. He showed some power, even if he ends up paying a price for it. Not everyone has the strength to confront her like that.
The scene with Vicki and Oz was another strong one. Aren't they still divorced? Maybe they'll have a double wedding with Maria and Max.
La Paloma
Carlos is right. The actress playing Leonela is a beautiful women. I hadn't really noticed it till after the bath scene because they dress her so outrageously and she is always brining the crazy. She and Diego must be a knockout together. Any way I also saw suicide coming not a froth fest. Lots of time wasting for no apparent reason.
I've come to the conclusion the PJP needs to have a load of bricks fall on his handsome head in order to finally get it that his mother is beyond redemption. I guess she'll have to attack Maria or Vic with a knife in front of him before he sees the extent of her evil. I'm starting to add him to the the pretty but dumb list along with everyone else.
For what is it worth it looked in the previews that "The Truth" about Maria is going to come out on Monday just when Vic is having one of her snit fits about the girl marrying Max. In addition to her cancer she is clearly bi polar in my mind.

It doesn't include Sacrificio de Mujer which has bigger casting sins except for Pablo Azar as the Max/Victor Manuel character.
"He begins to take off his jacket and starts mumbling some crazy crap he thinks is sexy."
was downright hilarious to me.
What is so frustrating to me is that if Vicky would just reach out a bit (and I don't mean to Padilla) she could quickly learn the identity of her daughter. Doesn't everyone but she know that Padre JP is Maria's daddy?
I really enjoyed that little song that Milagros and the Jarochas were rehearsing... very cute and very catchy.
I also thought the scene between Vicky and Ozzy was very affecting and played absolutely perfectly.
Anon 207:
"I liked the part where (I think) Osvaldo told Victoria that he shouldn't dirty his hands beating down Rudy..."
When he said that I shouted, "Well at least give him a couple of kicks!"
"...then proceeded to kick him."
How satisfying...
I hope you are all having a wonderful Memorial weekend.

They might know JP is Maria's father:
JuanJo
Cruz
Fausto
Eva
These people know that JP is the father of Victoria's missing hija:
Toni
Pipino
Oscar
Osvaldo
These people know both facts:
JP (obviously)
Bernarda
Padilla
Padre Jeronimo
Three of Bernarda's victims died because they knew too much:
Octavio
Tomasa
Sr. Clementina (knew it all)
Padilla is a sitting duck. I don't know how much detail the bishop knows, but he is also in danger.
I'm disgusted with Meh-jia for teasing us about a possible suicide attempt--I fell for it, too. I could only hope it would be Dr. Her-Hermoso who would burst in to save her.
Stupid, stupid Vic--and so soon after surgery, goes trotting off to see a guy who is bigger and stronger than she is and who has violated her and threatened her before. Kudos to Os for following and not just standing there with one hand outstretched, saying Victoria, Victoria, espere, donde vas?
I'm confused about who knows what about Maria D and can't go back to earlier episodes. Doesn't Os already know that PJP is Maria's biological dad? Seems to me I remember PJP admitting it in the foyer of Os house. Victoria must not have been present otherwise the story would be over. If Os wants to help her find the lost child, couldn't he tell her he knows who the padre is and take it from there? Hmm. Same reason as always, the story would end there.
NOK

This clarifies AND complicates things for me. I'll have to study it again, type it out on a fresh sheet of paper, draw lines from one group to the other, etc. etc.
My word verification this time is lushies--a la Leonela!!

Carlos
PJP told Os or rather admitted he was the father of Vic's missing daughter and I think you are right Vic has never told him that PJP was the father but she did tell Toni. All we need is for one of the people who knows PJP's story to blurt it out in front of Vic and it would be clear. I'm am devoutly hoping it happens on Monday so we can get rid of all the inevitable recriminations, I hate you, I don't believe it and the final falling into each other's arms sobbing scenes and move on to get justice for all of Bernie's other victims.
I don't know why we got treated to Loonie's bubble bath was this really necessary?
Gui threatening Bernie oh that's not going to go over well with her now is it?
PJP stop praying for your demented mother's lost soul and just call the cops. Really at this point i consider you a accomplice for all the crimes she's committing she refuses to repent so now turn her in.
Victoria what happen to all that money you supposedly had when you offered to pay off Maria D. for her baby? I guess after Fer's operation and yours you're now crying poverty huh?
She is also repeating Bernarda's behavior because the has somehow internalized that one is either in control or being controlled.
Thanks to all the recappers for giving us great recaps to fill in the holes & opportunities for great snark!
I, too, was wondering what was up with Leo & the bath tub. Was Gui perhaps under the bubbles? Or was she about to do herself in? Otherwise, I'm not sure what was the purpose.
On my local pbs spanish station, I notice there is a new tn beginning, which has asian characters. I was wondering, is it any good? Has anyone else seen it or know about it? I don't remember the name of it - just TdA is really burning me out. I need a new tn to watch & Teresa just annoys me.
I did enjoy watching Fer & Cruz's wedding. Fer was gorgeous & I noticed Cruz has his beard back by the end of the reception - his hair must grow really fast! How does he afford seeing his barber so often? lol
I found photos online of Diego & Monica - they are a gorgeous couple. Must be fun to be on the same show together. I hope we more of them on other tn's.
I dozed & missed best actress, anyone know who it was?
All we need is to get the rest of the villanos punished and Dr. Heri set up with Lush-ous and we're set for a new telenovela. Anybody know what comes after this one?
They showed this in Mex a few month ago, so I knew it wasn't Lucero. We discussed it here.

As I perused the titles of the recaps, it would appear that there has been a Cruz/Fer wedding. I'll have to track that one down on Daily Motion.
Miracles of miracles, I actually have the day off today, so was able to watch Premios last night.
Vario: I am not surprised that Boyer won. I realise that it's a matter of 'primacy vs recency', but even though it's been a while since having seen STuD, I think the writers for "Teresa" provided Boyer with a much more interesting and well thought out character than did the writers for Lucero's 'Valentina'. It seemed like we always knew what Val's response would be, whereas in the few capitulos I have seen of "Teresa", one never knows what nasty deed Teresa will do next.
Will Boyer become another Hayek? I think it is too early to tell.
As you know, Colunga has always been 'my man', but was surprised that Sebastian Rulli did not win. Both Rulli himself, and the hosts of the evening, (Paty Navidad, etc) stated that his part had been well written and had really allowed him to grow as an actor. I am liking that adorable Rulli more and more. Based upon his comments when interviewed, etc he strikes me as a 'thinking' kind of man. I like it!
Could have been my imagination, but Boyer's dresses reminded me of the outfits I have seen her wear on "Teresa". If I heard correctly, she sticks to one designer she has used for some time.
@ Carlos: Amigo! Where are you?! I thought of you last night when I saw Lanus being interviewed for his role in "Llena". That had to have been the most convoluted TN I have ever seen, but your re-caps were priceless. How is the little hamster, by the way?...and Lanus shows up dressed so blah in black. Oh well...I guess his lovely voice made up for it.
Jacqueline Andere looked elegant (though I would have picked a different colour of dress against her red hair) and Goyri looked handsome. I was disappointed that Goyri did not win.
I see that the woman from "Cuando me Enamoro" won. Can someone tell me more about her? Is she Mexican? She has an interesting name. Did she win in the 'evil person' category?
"Para Volver a Amar" literally swept the evening awards. I tried watching it, but seeing so many women mentally, physically, and emotionally abused was too much. I abandoned it.
I liked all of the theme songs that were presented except the one that was sung by FannyLu (is that her name?) It didn't do much for me and was sad that the STuD theme was not included, but I guess it didn't make the voting cut.
Oz Rios looked his ever so handsome self as a presenter.
Maite Perroni always looks like the perennial 'little girl' to me, but I will grant you that she did sing the duet quite nicely for 'A partir de hoy'.
X-Factor lost points in the wardrobe department with the black shoes and a red dress. Surely, there could have been a better match for the red dress than black shoes!
I liked the Iglesias theme for "Cuando" and liked hearing him sing. Also enjoyed Fonsi singing the theme for "Llena" which I always enjoyed hearing.
...and Colunga...does he always miss these events? He has now won 5 awards, but was not there. Come on, Colunga...you really could not have been there?
As you can see, I have had major TN withdrawal. I've seen nothing of any of my TN, but have bored you with the blow by blow of the Premios. Ha! Thanks for bearing with me...it was just good to see some of these actors. They do bring enjoyment to us all. Makes me wish I had their job!
Oh...before I forget...Tizzy was wearing her Tizzy hair! I did like her blouse (or dress...I don't remember if it was a blouse/skirt ensemble or dress).
Now...to do nothing for the day.
Susanita
TDA will be next year, remember it's not finished in Mex yet.
I don't expect anything from anyone but Daniela Romo.
It looks like that they all want to finish this TN as soon is possible.Bad publicity for all the actors.
From their standpoint the sooner the better then they get to hopefully a better novela with a better writer and producer to cleanse away the stench from this garbage.
Jarocha
What do I know. My spanish is not good either.
I totally agree with you. Vitoria probably has Alzheimer’s she forgot that she accepted Maria a while ago. ha.. I remember because she thought she was dying now that she is cured she the old Vitoria is back.
