Gus Sings the She Done Me Wrong Song While Tia Rosie Cashes In
Labels: no-podia
Inspired. Lopsided frosting on our Cupcake. That says it all.
I am looking forward to Monday. All week, since the dual wedding plans have been in the works, I've looked forward to this novela. That's all I ask, to look forward to my daily hour of tight beanie-time.
Susana is doing a great job. Her scenes with JS outdo any others in this novela, though I do get a kick out of Rog putting Mentirosa in her place.
Didn't read the contract. It is enough to make you wonder about the smarts of someone who is supposed to be an intelligent professional. For a poor girl, our AP has a ton of little cleavage-revealing frocks, none worn twice.
I take it you don't like Rogelio. I'm not completely against him. I like the idea of revenge on Vanessa. That will be great. And I love the way he looks at AP. He is so totally smitten by her. All she has to do is smile at him and he melts.
I watched the Jorge Salinas/ Elizabeth Alvarez boda. Thought it a little on the Kardasian side. Who gives their wedding vows with a microphone in their hand????? The couple looked fantastic however. Saw Julian Gil, Chantal Andere, Diego Oliveres, Susana Gonzalez there. Jorge looked a little bored with the whole thing, it was almost like a rehersal for the Podía wedding
I sure hope THAT is not the dress AP is going to wear, Vanesa's was pretty, maybe AP can get that one.
Ads for El Talisman, someone is announcing being pregnant, the f---ing thing hasn't even started, we might be in for another rehash of the usual mierda.
I agree about AP's dress. It looked like a maternity dress. I loved Vanessa's dress though.
It sounds like they are getting married by the court before the one Vanessa is planning. Don't they get married in both usually? First the court one then the church one? But if they are not having a real full on marriage, they probably won't do the church one.
I know I'm supposed to feel more pity for Cupcake, but I just want to slap the frosting out of her. I mean, srsly? How much time did she spend with GusGus (remember that mouse from Cinderella?...)and she's dying of love for him? TN love I guess. Her sob scene in the dress shop annoyed the snot out of me. I almost didn't mind Tia's screeching at her...almost.
I was surpised too that the Cupcake didn't read the contract more. She should have looked at it more closely. I bet he took out the "no nookie" clause and put it in the fine print. I too didn't like the Cupcake's dress it was really rather plain. Vainessa's was beautiful.
Poor Gus. At least he would take the time to listen to the Cupcake. Mersnottys is very annoying right now, but she is interested in Esteban, he is a hottie.
ITA with you Jardinera for having your yelling Tia Mentirosa moment. Everytime she is on, I yell STFU. lol. She never stops to think how is Miguel going to survive if he goes back to prison, what is the Cupcake really getting herself into, but oh by the way can I have one of my rings back!!!!!
And Rohell trying to keep Vainy and Cupcake from finding out what is really going on. His juggling is funny to watch with the hidden smirks he has.
So David didn't light Cinthia's fire and she doesn't want to marry him. LOL at her quick thinking when Rog called them right at the moment of their "riding" lesson.
Before AP signed the contract, Rog did tell her to read it first but she just skimmed over it quickly without really reading it.
Rog seemed touched when AP told Miquel he would not be taken to jail and they snuggled. Rog had a look of tenderness in his eyes for those fleeting moments.
Monday is the big event. How will Rog pull it off having two brides for one wedding?
Add me to the chorus against that dress. AP's taste needs some work there. She needs something that will make Vainessa look even more like damaged goods.
I finally realized that the exit clause of the contract between Rogelio and Federico will come back to bite Vainessa in the arse: When Rogelio marries AP and pulls the rug right out from under her she will demand out of the contract as a 30% owner of her dad's company. Dad will tell her "Then you will have to pay the multi-million peso penalty" and she will have a tantrum. We hope it will be in public.
As to [i]Bruno stares back and looks as if he definitely wants a ringside seat for that mud wrestling spectacular. [/i] between AP and Vainessa, I'm sure all the male viewers agree with him.
More later, y'all.
Loved the imagery of cupcake and her frosting, and I was delighted by Vainessa pulling a wheelie on her broomstick.
Right now Rogelio thinks he is smarter than everyone else, and he is really enjoying his role as supreme puppet master. What I look forward to is when he starts realizing that he doesn't control the things that really matter.
Yeah, UA, I figured that someone would be trying to get out of that contract and screaming bloody murder, but I figured it would be Federico regretting that he had made the suggestion. I didn't think of Vainessa!
Is AP going to give Rogelio hell for playing such a (public?) dirty trick on Vainessa or does she dislike Vainessa so much that she applauds Rogelio for taking revenge?
Audrey
UA-thanks for bringing up the exit clause. Methinks that will be a delicious scene!
Finally MentiRosa says something that makes sense: You should read a contract and get a copy of it too. But then she put on her legal cap and said that she should review it. No, Bruno should. I suppose he's their only choice since they can't actually afford a lawyer. Doesn't it seem like eons ago when they first met Bruno at the hospital and he posed as a public defender? And all because of Miguel.
This "love at first sight" thing is so...dumb. Cupcake knew Gus for how long before he "died"? She didn't even take him out for a test drive! She will never love anyone again because the man who saved her life and whom she knew for a few days is dead. NOT!
I'm looking forward to the double wedding. It's kind of amusing watching Ro-hell juggle two fiancees and trying to prevent one from finding out about the other.
P.S. Cupcake, say no to the dress. Not flattering. I do like Vainy's. (She and her mom were shopping in Mexico City.)
I esp. want to thank all of you valiant LQNPA recappers who have done double-duty with the crazy Uni schedule. Your efforts are greatly appreciated.
Variopinta, so agree with you about the way they are presenting the previews for El Talisman. Call me a shallow recapper but I still can't get by 'filmed in Florida, set in Fresno (CA)'. LOL.
EJ
If they consistently promote English subs through cc captioning and win more non-Hispanic viewers they could become the #1 network in the country, at least L-V.
Mercedes still doesn't let Gus in on Mikey being there in the very same building and on the very same floor he is when he comes to tell her he's gotten another job. What a b!tch!
I'm not ranting on the Tia cause it was the same old thing with her.
I feel sorry for Gus, cause he doesn't really know the truth either. It will take him a long time I think to find out.
Glorious Gloria lol. She is one b!tch. No wonder Ernie wants out of the marriage so much. If Mersnottys is smart she'll see a lot more of Esteban.
Gus will go searching again for the Cupcake since Esteban told the truth. But will he be in time? I think not.
I can't wait for tomorrow to see how the wedding juggle turns out.
I hope they don't mess with the time of the show on Monday. I might just have to tape the whole night just to make sure I don't miss anything.
We see the hard edges start to smooth over (temporarily) with our Old Turd Rohell. Let's see where this goes! It looked like he was enjoying seeing how his actions helped people, which is a change from all his usual douchebaggery. Maybe he could get addicted to doing good deeds. A girl can dream, can't she?
I hope no one will consider this a spoiler, but I wouldn't count on the wedding being tomorrow (despite what the avances say). I think we have more Rohell-on-wheels bride-juggling to get through first! LOL.
UA, thanks for the info about Feb sweeps. I think you're right. The extra episodes they have pushed through last week are so that this week we have all sorts of action and fun. I'm looking forward to it!
We didn't get the previews on Friday, so I wasn't sure why everyone was convinced we would Haney the wedding on Monday. I can see how there would be a few more hoops to jump through first, but it will be soon, obviously!
Pretty exciting. I'll be watching the Talismán premier too on Monday as I am a huge Rafael Novoa fan, so I may be worn out by too much excitement LOL!
Audrey
Of course Jorge Salinas is one of Televisa's hottest leading men, which we all appreciate! I think he's at his peak now in terms of looks and talent.
I am starting to wonder just how long Rogelio will be able to maintain the charade of being unable to... you know. Men can't lie about certain things and the minute he starts sharing a bedroom with AP he's at risk.
You've nailed Ernie's character-He's definitely a mess of a man. Quite frankly, Mersnotty deserves him.
I loved the "all together class...no puede ser!!!"
While in part 1 I wanted to slap the frosting out of Ana Pau, in part 2 I wanted to slap the eyelashes off GusGus and then I wanted to turn around and slap Gloria, Marcela and then slap and backhand Mersnotty. Through that whole ending scene she's like "ixnay on the uthtray, Esteban!"
-_-
This bride juggling sounds like a comedy of errors. It does not earn Rohell points in my book, but it does sound funny.
As for him actually enjoying doing good, I'll believe it when I see it. Sounds more like he enjoys being seen as a hero by AP, than actually helping anyone. I've not read in the recaps any evidence empathy on his part for Miguel. Here he is a man who loved being active and riding horses who had that taken from him, and Miguel is a young man whose love and trade was carpentry who is this close to losing his hand. You would think at some point Rohell would be struck by the similarities and really feel for the kid. Rohell had the benefit of being filthy rich when he had his accident; Miguel is in a far worse situation.
I'll be watching this coming week to see how Rohell pulls off this wedding. Should be a fun ride.
As for El Talisman, I'm going to give it a chance. Other than the setting, Fresno, it sounds interesting. If you read the character description that was posted by Sylvia last week, you'll see that the pregnancy thing is one of the key plot points, and that the child is used as a chess piece in the battle between these three families for land.
I've been a bit busy so I haven't been able to keep up with this one.
Gustavo's sister is extremely controling, he is a man, not a teen. Although this love with Ana Paula is so much like a crush between two teenagers. I guess that's just telenovelas for you.
The scene where Vanesa talks about her marriage to Esteban is funny to me because I had this conversation with a friend from school who is from the US. I told her how many people in Mexico prefer to have a civil ceremony first and wait to have the religious one until they were sure the marriage was solid and they would be together forever. She thought it was a little crazy because the big legal implications happen with the civil ceremony but I told her that people were more worried about the spiritual side of it and the unfortune of belonging at the side of someone you might not want to be with anymore at the eyes of God.
Variopinta:
"Who gives their wedding vows with a microphone in their hand????? "
I haven't seen Jorge's wedding but traditionally in a church the priest usually gives mass with a microphone so everybody present can hear and when the people give their vows they are handed the microphone also. So when people tend to do big events, even for civil ceremonies, the microphones are used too. So it is very common here.
Jarocha
Anon- Glad you appreciate her wardrobe. You must enjoy Cynthia and Vain's too.
Novelera in AZ
S/B said that El Talisman was filmed in FL, where?
What is Fresno's lack of charm?
No wonder AP's dress looks like mierda, Rojell gave the dinero to tia, and it looks like a Walmart dress. I'm thinking Rojell isn't going to like it either & rip that dress right off Vanesa to give it to AP.
Rojell will soon be Roángel, like Rhett Butler y Manuel Fuentes Guerra, suspiro ayyyyy.
Anyplace in FL is beautiful & diverse less mountains. Do you know where in FL? If it was in the paper, I missed it.
I haven't been to a wedding for a long time, are we using mics? There is sth less religious with that, just wrong. I know, I know, I have a little OCD, certain things just bug me.
I'm interested in the lead male for this one. He's new to me. Where'd he come from anyway?
Kelly
He is on sth in the afternoon, maybe noon, can't tell you the name however.
Archie Bunker.
Well, if Archie Bunker were younger, much hotter, had dimples, wore a cowboy hat and spoke Spanish.
Of course the whipping thing and the extra special douchebaggery are where the resemblance to Archie departs. But still--he's so awful sometimes, and yet I can't hate him, because, like Archie, he is a softie inside and a lot of the crap he spews is crap and deep inside I think he knows it. Instead I just laugh at the TV screen and say, "He's such a douchebag!" Though if this were real life, I'd vehemently try to prevent any woman I knew from marrying him. But this is a telenovela, and real life goes out the window!
FYI, for anyone who cares, Sara and I are switching recapping nights starting next week. I'll do Tuesdays and she'll do Wednesdays. But this week we're still on her Tues and me Wed.
If Univision doesn't mess up the schedule anymore, that means that Monday will be Cap 23, Tues Cap 24, Wed (my episode) Cap 25, and so on. I'm already mentally planning out what screencaps I will make for Wednesday, and fair warning: I won't even try to hide my Jorge Salinas fangirlishness! He is really great in this show. Rohell has some great expressions and we're seeing more and more of them as the show progresses.
Hey Elvira, I was looking for Jorge on youtube and found this music clip of him and Lucero in Mi Destino Eres Tu: they were cute there.
Jarocha
La Paloma
As I've mentioned a few times in these discussions, I'm still a little uncertain about where Rohell's culpability for Miguel's suffering kicks in. Rohell had no part in the truck accident or the death of the victims, and it was very, very serious. (Though still, an accident! I don't get why he's in jail at all for that, but clearly he was.) Same thing for Miguel's injury to his hand. Rohell didn't have any part of that. Miguel was heading for jail before Rohell even heard about the accident.
Rohell is to blame for "sitting on his hands" (not helping more when he could have) which he should feel guilty for, but also he's had David press fake charges too. What I am not sure of is, how much of the time that Miguel spent in jail is directly due to the fake charges and how much time spent in jail is due to Miguel's hitting those people?
Dimples always help.
Is there anyway Rojell & AP's kids can't have dimples?
Up to that point, it doesn't look like Rohell did anything to "hurt" Miguel, he mainly exploited Miguel's misfortune. (Which makes him a first-class douchebag, but not someone responsible for Miguel's suffering.) Even after David claimed that Miguel stole the truck (he didn't!), Rohell was telling AP that he had "talked David out of pressing charges" and for that AP was even more grateful to Rohell, The Hero. (Gag!) So up to that point, again, I don't think Rohell's actions caused any suffering to Miguel.
At some later date, Rohell did ask David to go ahead and press charges. I'm not sure how far that went or if in fact it meant that he spent more jail time because of it. He had a pending legal issues because of the death of the victims. Rohell was currently trying to pave the way to get those cleared up/paid off. (Not sure how much, since he was also "sitting on his hands," and not helping as much as he could, in hopes that AP would cave and marry him.)
So anyway . . . that's why I'm confused. Rohell is a douchebag, but whether it's more a douchebag for exploiting Miguel's misfortune, or douchebag for indirectly causing Miguel more suffering, not sure. Definitely, a lot of what Miguel went through was going to happen anyway, regardless of what Rohell did, and also, Rohell did help (by paying for the operation to reattach his severed fingers).
Is that as clear as mud now? LOL.
Elvira, your first videos were to blame I think. I had missed some parts of the early shows and only saw Rohelll's whippings and yelling at little kids. I wasn't too impressed. You showed me Jorge's dimples, quirky smile and expressive eyes. That did impress me.
Thanks to all the recappers for your time and humor.
Jardinera, as always, your recaps are perfection. I've chuckled and laughed throughout the weekend.
Audrey
Sara, I think AP's wardrobe has changed. Skirts are about an inch longer, cleavage is about an inch less visible. No more little sundresses. I agree with whoever noted that AP has quite an extensive (and I think cute) wardrobe for a poor girl.
BTW, I love the nicknames Rohell, Vainessa and Cupcake.
I just don't get why Vainessa wants to marry Rohell. She dumped him already, she doesn't need the money. Why? Does she believe she really loves him as much as she can love a guy? It seems to be.
I elect Dani for sainthood. When Mikey was on the hospital floor blubbering and Dani was comforting him--I was thinking Tia thoughts. "Who wants to be stuck with that."
Rohell is sexy, but I don't find Gus and Cupcake boring together. I think they're really sweet (and normal!). Wish they would stop spiking up the hairs on the top half of Gus' head,
It's true, David did come up with the "Miguel stole the truck!" thing all on his own. If I recall, after the fact, Rohell was saying to David, "Clever story" or something. (So Rohell knew it wasn't true.) So I think you're right, that it was David's idea to start with, Rohell told him to hold off pressing charges and then later said, "Go ahead" (which David was planning on doing anyway, I guess, before Rohell told him to hold off).
And I agree, Rohell feels very guilty because he was in part responsible for Miguel's vulnerable position. At least responsible for prolonging it. I don't think that Rohell knew that Miguel was in imminent danger from the thugs in prison--all Rohell was probably thinking of was to increase the heat on AP so she caves. When he's finally confronted with the consequences of that (poor beat-up Miguel, so traumatized by it all, living in fear of going back to jail, as well as AP's distress over her brother) he feels very guilty. As he should!
Jorge Salinas is so impressive, and it's not just the dimples, it is his presence, anyone would have a tough act to follow acting across from him.
Rohell, regardless if his sin against Miguel was a sin of commission or omission, he contributed to Miguels suffering, and what is he thinking? Even if he wins AP's heart now, if she ever finds out about even the lesser of those two evils she would never forgive him. I don't think the TN story can, under the circumstances, have those two end up together.
1. The truck was carrying supplies for a project that David's company is working on. David's company has liability for the accident.
2. In an incorruptible system, David's blaming Miguel for working off the clock while driving the truck would fly for about two minutes in court. David's contract + David's truck and supplies = David's company's liability.
3. In a car accident where 2 people died, Miguel could be charged with manslaughter because of his "recklessness" in driving while very tired, EVEN tho somebody else caused the accident.
4. Two seperate sets of issues--civil and criminal. I guess Bruno is dealing with all of these issues in the law courts of Chiapas.
5. In real life there is NO way David and/or his company gets off for free. He is the one with deep pockets and he,or his insurance carriers would pay through the nose for the death's of two innocent people.
I remember a case where a burgler broke into a house, and then injured himself on something, and sued the owners of the house for liability...and won.
Does Vainessa actually have a date in mind? Does anyone remember hearing anything specific on this?
After all the comments and conversation this weekend, I can't think of a lot to add except to note an anomaly in this TN. There seems to be a lack of corrupted, devious medicos in this so far. Each physician we have seen seems to be honest, capable, and ethical... even the beleaguered and annoying Ernesto.
I am interested in Mikey's hand:
2 fingers were severed and brought in in a cup of ice.
There was considerable delay in reattaching them.
They got seriously redamaged and infected (Ana Paula said they stunk)
The Drs. still managed to salvage them... really?
Good job guys.
Carlos
But it requires much more intelligence and insight/awareness than Ana Paula has demonstrated thus far to figure the above out. She'll have to grow up first. And then maybe she'll smarten up (is that possible? - it will probably require a beanie). It will take some smarts to really understand Rogelio.
We'll see......
Audrey
To me, Rohell's main "sin" here is being callous and selfish. It doesn't seem like he had any intention of seeing Miguel get hurt (it's not like he ordered Miguel to be beaten up, or knew for a certainty that he would be). He didn't even know that David was going to accuse Miguel of theft (though he didn't object to it after the fact). He was so focused on his goal (to get AP to agree to marry him) that he didn't see past that. Selfish and douchebaggy, to be sure.
Perhaps (this is pure speculation, not spoiler) if we assume that Rohellio is destined to become less of a butthead i.e. is finally going to grow up, he'll realize what he did and try to make up for it, and by the end of the story, IF he and AP are destined to be together, she'll realize that he has grown up (and suffered in the process) and will be able to forgive some horribly selfish act that he did waaaay back before all sorts of other telenovela horse manure happened. We'll see! It'll be a long, interesting journey, with many beanie adjustments along the way!
I am not a lawyer, nor do I play one one TV. Hahahaha.
DH is a lawyer, recently retired as Asst General Counsel at one of the largest 'big-girl' international engineering/construction companies (35 years). He is my source of legal data for TNs—still laughing out loud.
The man refuses to wear a Titanum TN beanie and, thus, he is a running font of information and opinion about the inaccuracies of how the law is portrayed on TV. I offer his opinions in the interest of enhancing our lively conversations.
EJ
Will Efraím wear his crumpled straw sombrero?
Will Cinthia's midriff be bare?
Oh the excitement!
Carlos
Oh the excitement!"
Carlos, you crack me up! And Jardinera, you made my weekend. I'm not going to quote you back all your brilliant lines, they are too numerous, but I'm still laughing. Been away a while and so am now all caught up. Thanks to all the recappers for your hilarious, thorough and completely captivating accounts. I don't feel as if I've missed a thing.
Will Cinthia's midriff be bare? I certainly hope so! Her abs are so good they ought to have their own screen titles.
And thanks for your comments on Miguel's hand and the miracle working doctors who performed the surgeries. The strides that have been made in medicine these days!
EJ
Do they have charros in southern Mexico, because if anyone can pull off that look in a cool way, it's Rogelio.
Kelly
Vainessa has been tricked into planning Ana Paula's wedding. She's arranged everything, Rogelio calls the planners to change the date, and the event takes place just as Vainessa shows up to discuss it.
