Caray, Caray!

Would someone get Chela a life.!!

She lusted after her brother-in-law while her sister was alive, played martyr and saint for years after her sister's death, and now a sexual stalker out for same former brother-in-law. What a lazy cowardly woman. Afraid to live her own life.

No doubt, Pancho will turn out like most men--unwilling to grow up and out of his comfort zone and will go into fall back position with Chela.

Poor Rebe. Broken heart over an immature man.
 

Thanks for the recap! I was on the edge of my chair for that first hour, so much happened it was dizzying. Vince was funny and then cruel. Pina was silly, non-seductive, and then crushed. So sad.
 

Thank you Julia for the fun recap. Loved your Three Pesketeers line. That fits the three so well. Poor Pina, ITA with you Melinama she is so sad and abandoned. I couldn't beleive Vins told her it is all her fault. He just should have said he was having a headache, lol.
Frauddie did look sincere when he asked if Pina was ok.

Anon 3:27 ITA with you about Chela she is never letting Pancho go. Why Pancho didn't stop her from kissing him is beyond me. He has told her over and over he is not into her. She really needs to find a novio of her own. However, I don't think Pancho will ever love Chela the way she loves him. He has told her over and over again that she is like a sister to him.

Enzzo is such a putz. What he hoped to accomplish by having Pepe arrested is beyond me. I like how Pancho duked it out with Enzzo and knocked him down. It looked like a move from my women's defense class years ago. lol. I liked Chela getting in his face. Served him right.

Enzzo should tell Moni the truth. At least she would know what happened between he and her mother. He shouldn't have lied to her in the first place. Now the poor thing feels abandoned. What hurt her the worst was Enzzo telling the other Pesketeers the truth about her mother.

I don't like that Rebe and Fernanda are going behind Pancho's back with the vote for Business Man of the Year. When Pancho finds out, he is going to be mad. I can't stand Ines either. Her and Vins are so greedy. I wonder too if Pancho could be Fernanda and Ines' husband's son. Ines sure wants vengence.

I liked Candy in her new job. She will do well. Now if she would just forget about Vins.
 

I like Chela. I guess it's a holdover from enjoying her in QE and as the wonderfully over the top Vickie, Vickie, Vickie on Dinero. I sure liked the way she got all up in Enzo's face. It's a long way to episode 232 I've been figuring that after much kanoodling with others one day Pancho & Chela were going to have changed and matured so much that they will rediscover one another.

On the other hand, Rebe is sweet -- even if she has been drawn in to this scheme to keep the truth from Pancho. Maybe SHE is the one who will lose Pancho and get him back in the end. Who Know? Too soon to tell.

" three Pesketeers" -- great one Julia. Also liked "paper-thin is probably about the amount of depth Frauddie looks for in a dame"

I agree with you Julia Pina is full of surprises. I had the same thought when she started talking about how she could have been Margaret Thatcher or Angela Merckel if it were not for her years of waiting around for Vince. She is turning out to be a very interesting character.

And what's up with Elena? What a self centered dog in the manger chick.

Julia- You did an amazing job capturing what happened in two hours in your snappy recap. Loved all your nicknames for folks-- Moany, Peppy, Tomcat, Chilly, Punchy, Can-do...

I agree that the scene between Pina and Vince was so sad. Time for her to leave him/kick him out already.

What was the point of all that planning if Candy's show is just going to be an exact replica of Pina's show, with more flirting?

I howled when Enzo started in with his kung fu moves, and Pancho laid him out with women's defense class moves. Enzo is being an idiot. He's driving Moni away further with each bonehead move. And how cruel of him to hav even changed her maternal last name, so if she goes looking for her mom with that last name, she'll find nothing.

I can't even talk about Chela's desperate moves last night. See! This is exactly why I am on Rebe's side when it comes to this. Chela is after her man, and should NOT be allowed to live in the same house if she's going to keep this up. And Pancho is to blame for letting her do it. The foor massage and the kiss were way over the line. I notice that he did not notice glammed up Chela when the family all came downstairs to head to the awards.

I do feel a break-up coming with Rebe and Pancho though. It will be a combination of her seeing Chela kissing him, and him finding out Rebe hid all the background intrigues about the award from him. But I think they will be together by the end of this tn.
 

Julia, thanks for your recap. ITA w/your observation on Pina and her role models. I hope she kicks Vins to the curb soon.

ITA Anon @ 3:27am w/your assessment of Chela and you too Vivi about getting her out of the house if she is going to sexually stalker her former BIL.

Thanks Melinama and Ezra for your recaps yesterday.
 

Julia, I loved all the names too - especially "Moany" and "Three Pesketeers." And "Chilla washes and massages Pancho’s feet, as everyone does for their brothers-in-law." lol

I thought the candles signifying sex-fracaso was well done. I can't see Fernanda and Rebe as the good guys if they bribe to win Pancho the contest. They're just as bad as Vince and Ines. And after all the lectures Rebe's given Pancho on proper business behavior.
 

I wasn't terribly opposed to Chela staying in the house before, but if this is how she is going to act after he's told her over and over that he isn't interested and he's with Rebe, then he needs to throw her out. Kissing him was crossing a line. His Besos Paralysis didn't help. Chela has absolutely no imagination. She fixates on the one man who has always happened to be right in front of her. Trying to pursue that relationship is like walking into a brick wall, but she WILL NOT turn and walk a different direction, she just keeps butting her head against it.

Poor Pina. I hope that was finally the last straw and she is realizing she'd be better off without her horrid non-husbandly housemate.

Enzo is an idiot...keeps doing the same things despite getting terrible results. Refuses to change his strategies. Once again I am thinking he and Chela are perfect for each other.
 

Vocabs:

echar una canita al aire - to have a fling

lodo - mud

enajenada - deranged

menguar - to diminish or wane

anquilosarse - to stagnate or stiffen

palangana - washbasin

guijarros - pebble

escudería - motor-racing team
 

Does Moni know that Enzo changed his name? I wonder if she knows any of her extended family at all, or even who they were.
 

Get the truth or get lucky...yep, sounds like the plot of most of our telenovelas Julia. Great title. And of course "Three Pesketeers" is a keeper.

I didn't see this but from the description of the jail scene, I'm sure Enzo and Chela will end up with each other. At last, a galan for our sweet whiner. Of course it will take months and months for it to happen but so what.

Thanks for the vocabulary as well. "Echar una canita en el aire" is one of my favorites...especially since I have canitas all over the place.
 

Julia, thank you! This was a terrific recap of a very lively and action-packed episode.

Heh, did Vince say to Candy "Give me some sugar" in English? It sure sounded liked it (their scene after he had just arrived home from Doc Cuckoo).

Aha! Enzo finally looked at Chela in a different light, like he was actually noticing her for the first time.

Güera, I like your description of Elena being the dog in the manger. It's very apt.

Vivi, with so many episodes I imagine we will have numerous break-ups and make-ups between most of our love couples.

Add me to the list of "Pesketeers" admirers. I think that term is a keeper.
 

As usual, I've got a lotta catching up to do, but Three Pesketeers is definitely a Caray Hall-of-Famer.

Was it just my imagination, or was tonight's episode exhausting? Perfect for Friday the 13th. Recap tomorrow if I'm lucky, more likely Sunday.
 

232 episodes!! Get away. Depending on whether they are 1 or 2 hours/per night, hat's sure to take at least 6 more months!! I don't think I can last that long.

Thanks for all the vocabulario. Much appreciated.
 

Yes, Julie, Friday's was exhausting. I had to FF>> through some of Pancho's caterwauling. Take your time and as many fortifying substances as you need, and by all means feel free to skim over or skip the less interesting stuff. Suerte.
