Una Familia Con Suerte #50 Thu 12/15/11 Pina Opina is back in the ring, in full fighting form.
We’re back at the hotel where Yuri is putting the moves on Vins. She offers to be his geisha. Vins waffles a bit, then claims his esquincle, Cuautémoc, is sick, so he’s gotta go. She’s impressed by his hands-on fatherhood (or maybe twitterpated by what else he’s got his hands on). He leaves, she swoons.
Meanwhile, Chela takes leave of the mansion yet again with yet another long dramatic departure scene with Pancho. We’ve got this song memorized by now.
Elena sits in Lupita’s bed crying, sleep eluding her as she recalls her tumble in another bed with far worse company. She wakes Lupita to sniffle and sob and confess that she rolled in the hay with Frauddie in Brazil. Lupita is more surprised to learn that this was Elena’s first rodeo. All the boohooing somehow lures Ana in but Elena won’t tell her anything.
Next morning at the casa popular, Chela whines to Jessinia that Pancho refuses to lust after her. Pancho and Chacho stroll in and Chacho tries to flirt with Chela while Jess gives Pancho her best Chela sales pitch. It is not effective. Shockingly, Chela is rude to both of them. No soup for you! Er, breakfast.
In the cafeteria, Karina tells Monica again to be honest with her dad and get aboard the Pepe Express. Pepe and Tomás sit one table away and Tom rants about wanting to break Freddie’s face. Pepe calms him down and tells him not to or he’ll lose the big plumbing job. Tomás says working around Pina and Adoración is weird. Fred joins Moni and Kari, all smarmy-like, and Moni tells him to get lost now that he’s graduated from Jerk University.
Vins tells Enzo he’s impersonating Pancho and plans to strategically let Yuri seduce him in order to destroy Pancho and find out what the Japanese guy’s plans are.
At the TV station, Pina gets primped and reviews her script. Candy shows up looking all tarty and the TV dudes love it and Pina has a jealousy tantrum.
Pina Opina begins its broadcast, and Chela, Pancho (with Beto), and Vincente (with Enzo) tune in. Pina’s guest is a lucha libre character, La Parka, who looks like a skeleton. A rather bulky skeleton. Pina asks him if he’s rudo or técnico and he flirtily says whichever you like more. Candy is introduced and Vins drools all over. She tells the audience she wants to teach the women to dominate men and have their way with them. Vins is into it, Beto is weirded out, Pancho is just excited that Candy is on television, and Chela seems to be taking mental notes on man-catching.
In the Avon hallway, Ana overhears Vins telling Enzo he’s impersonating Pancho and having dinner with the japonesa. Freddy comes along and actually speaks to Ana which leaves her dumbstruck. She runs away and Fred dweeb-chuckles.
Chela gets a makeover and Jessinia coaches her on acting cold and casually sexy. Then Chela goes to Avon under the pretext of giving Pancho a shopping list and tosses her hair and feels herself up a lot. Pancho just thinks there’s something wrong with her. Rebeca calls, and Chela pitifully slinks out. The secretary comes in and tells Pancho that Yuri wants him to pick her up at her hotel for dinner. They think that’s weird since he doesn’t even know her.
Ana tells Candy that Vins said he was having dinner with a japonesa and would take advantage. Candy is jealous.
Pancho valet parks El Burro at the hotel and tells the valet “danke” for parking the donkey. The valet doesn’t get it. Yuri thinks Pancho is the chofer but says “let’s go!” anyway.
Ana meets Manuel for coffee. He wants to be novios, but she says she doesn’t know him at all. He agrees to spill some of his secrets if she promises not to tell.
Chela whines to Jess again some more. Jess says she needs a new strategy.
Candy dresses as a geisha and goes to the restaurant to confront Vins. He stutters a lot and Pancho and Yuri enter.
Pepe takes Monica flowers and she smooches him until Freddie shows up to ruin everything. Fred is really rude but Pepe and Monica ignore him and continue making out until Enzo walks in. Freddie smirks.
Avances: Everyone keeps calling Yuri “la china.”

Julia, thank you for the recap. I wish Elena would have told Ana what happened in Brazil. Maybe Ana wouldn't swoon so much for Frauddie (hee good one) if she knew he graduated from Jerk University.
I'm not sure how the Pina/Candy thing is going to work out since Pina is extremely jealous and Candy somehow doesn't think it matters that she's trying to seduce Pina's husband.

I thought I had this one taped but technical malfunction, so very grateful for the recap! I really missed seeing the show, guess I'm hooked.
Julia- What a fun recap. Thank you!
So, Chela got her makeover, and Pancho felt NOTHING. Sorry Chela-Pancho supporters. It aint gonna happen.
I have probably put too much thought into this, but I have wondered if Candy's girls are real. They look real-- the have a heft to them and bounce a lot. Either way, she sure does work them every chance she's got.
I was happy to see Moni give Pepe some real kisses and enjoy them without tears. Of course they get busted. I hope she finally tells her dad where to go.

Ah, Chela she goes from one extreme to the other. She should realize now that Pancho is so not into her. She looked like she had ants in the pants in Pancho's office lol.
I like Monica's and Pepe's kisses too. Too bad Enzo caught them. Now Monica will probably be crying again. I am glad they just ignored Frauddie lol.
Candy as a geisha was too funny. I can't wait to see what happens tonight.

Tks mucho Julia.
Candy's boobs look real to me too & they fit her body type. Where is Carlos? He would be panting like Vicente.
Where is Alex & we haven't seen Popeye & Abeja together lately.
I've been catching a bit of Maria Mercedes just to see Colunga & the TN before that is Acorralada 2007 with Zepeda & Wm Levy.

Julia, thanks for a fun recap. My favorite line: "Pancho refuses to lust after her." Chela has always seen Pancho as a man, but he's always seen her as a sister-in-law, an amiga. A great haircut and a curvy dress isn't going to change that. But I'm so glad the frump is gone.
It's amazing all the international costumes that Candy just happens to have hanging in her closet. On her bubis, I vote real.

It's still relatively early in the show, IIRC, so I'm not ruling out Chela and Pancho's hair getting together by the end of it all. That said she still needs an...alternative, for lack of a better word?...to spend time with. I guess there's Kojak...
How about Frauddie "The Tangerine" Iramal?
I've most unfortunately had to spend the entire day actually working (one disaster after another) so haven't had time to chat about telenovelas. But I'm looking forward to spending some quality time with y'all on the weekend. You all know where my heart is, even when my eyes and hands are forced to be elsewhere!

I also love "Irachetita," but it's toooo many syllables!
Recap will be later this weekend as usual. Sorry about that. I have so much trouble getting to sleep all week long, but then Friday comes and I conk out early!
I'm putting tangerines on my next grocery list. This show has made me thirsty. I can't wait any longer for the juicing. I'm going to have to take matters into my own hands.

Sylvia, I think Candy is justifying her courtship of Pina's husband by telling herself that it's a revenge scheme. (Of course, the fact that she's passed up so many chances to throw him under the bus suggests that she's sorta hazy about the revenge concept.)
OTOH she hasn't slept with him, either, and it's not as though he'd put up a fight.

Yes, it certainly is a cleverly complex relationship going on there. I agree that Candy is telling herself it's a revenge thing but it turns out she's kinda sweet on Vince. I think Pina truly likes Candy as a friend but Vince is in the way. I think Candy truly likes Pina but Vince is in the way. Hopefully yucky but hunky Tomas will provide a distraction for Pina.
I bought some tangerines today when I went shopping.

Julia, lively and timely recap! Chela is getting tiresome. The writers need to get a little more creative here. I liked the idea of a make-over but she wasn't made-over enough. And she's coming off as being so selfish as to actually be cruel to the children who miss her when she keeps walking out. I hope another love interest shows up for her relatively soon.
Also, should we just expect that Elena will begin to show the "consequences" of her time with the dreaded Freddie? And why would ANYONE be interested in him?)
And I agree with Cap'n Sylvia Sharkbait's query about the Pina/Candy thing, what with Pina continuing to try to seduce Pina's husband, as was said.
