Caray, Caray!

Wow...another snappy snarky recap Julia. So enjoy your style...starting with the title and on to your trenchant observations like "Pepe talks Tomás off his ledge", "if that's what the kids are calling it these days, I guess" and "Enzo and Vins get their cardio workout by ogling them (Candy and Chela).

Must have been in a dyspeptic mood last night because I was horrified that they dragged in that half-pint belter from Pequeños Gigantes to sing to a grown up couple making out, couldn't wait for the romantic climax in the RV to be over (big yawn)and while normally I enjoy Candy's over-the-top sexiness, I thought her dress last night was gross. I'm not expecting this to be Masterpiece Theatre but still...

Anyway, the recap WAS a masterpiece. Just enough detail and funny as hell.
 

Perfect recap. So funny and succinct! Talk between Vince and his nene one of my favorite scenes to date. Ez and I aghast over Candy's mosquito-netting dress. Ado: a guy who's too cheap to buy his own popcorn is bad news. I now think all bets are off with who will end up with whom: when a show goes on as long as this one is going to, they're really going to have to mix it up.
 

I'll be darned if I haven't gotten into this one. I actually set my DVR to record it tonight. Never say never. *shrugs*

Thank you! I loved the snappy recap! Especially:
* "Bad boy. No naca girlfriend for you" (I heard the Seinfeld Soup Nazi when I read this.)
* "A thunderstorms crackles outside and the music gets choppy, so it must have been steamier than what we saw." (Yup. Choppy music. Guess we can't handle the picante stuff.)

I was in and out on this one last night. I'm really mad I missed the Sylvia Pinal scene.
 

p.s. Ez and I used the "mute" button when Pancho and Rebe were in bed. We also went EEEEWWW over that weird little girl singer.
 

Thank you so much Julia for this very funny recap. Loved the tonsil hockey lol. I think Frauddie is really in love with Ana. Who would have thought? Loved how Vins was rubbing Frauddie's heart. Pina gave Tomas some good advice.

That Ale and Tomas scene was weird. It looked like it was thrown in. Ale gave Ana good advice too.

Finally Pancho and Rebe did the deed with no interruptions lol. I think Chela finally got the clue when Pancho came skipping home. lol. I liked your line too about Vins and Enzzo getting their cardio work out lol.

Glad Moni finally met Violetta. Violetta doesn't seem that bad with Moni.

I think Enzzo gave Chela the cookbook cause he knows she likes to cook. The inscription was sweet. Enzzo tried to give Chela chocolates but she wouldn't take them. He is really trying.

And Ana punching Fraidy Frauddie too funny. I know he is wanting to make up with her, so I wonder how he is going to do that.

And the advances, I hope not as angst filled as it looked.
 

Julia- I loved the snarky recap amiga. ITA about those previews. Alex mentioned death yet again last night. They better not pull an “Iñaki” on us! I would be very upset because I really like sweet Alex.

OK, time for Alejandra Guzman to go home. I guess the one thing she could do is convince Agusto to sign the whole band and not just Ana. The inserted Tomas kiss scene was weird. But I did enjoy seeing Pina comfort Tomas. Now, if only she could take her own advice and dump Vince and look ahead.

Melinama- You are so right. This tn is SO long, that all bets are off about these couples throughout the show. I’m sure all sorts of new people will be showing up to throw a wrench into most of these relationships. But I feel that by the end, we will come back to most of the couplings we are seeing now. But the fact that so many of these couples are now in happy, happy mode, means that there is definitely trouble ahead for them.

By the way, last night’s episodes were 99-100 in Mexico, but here in the States (Univision) they are listed as episodes 97-98, so there are two missing episodes somewhere. This show is still going in Mexico. They are at almost 250 episodes!
 

I think I read somewhere that this TN will run for a year in Mexico. That means it will end this Feb in Mexico and should end here in Oct. It started in Feb of last year there.
 

Love the "short of it" recap segment, thats tells the story as well or better than the detailed recap.
My question is, did Poncho finally strike gold, did he and Queen Rebe finally do the dog on thing.....they have been hugging and kissing since I started watching a couple of months ago....Rebe needs to trap him while she can, because if Chela has stop wearing those WalMart outfits and continues to upgrade her looks with the Saks 5th Ave of Mexico, she will end up with Poncho.

As big of a fan I am of Rebe (Mayrin) I think Chela is more attractive. Chela may need to stop by Boobs-R-Us, like Candy, just to seal the deal
 

Julia, you started off with a bang -- “Tomás continues to be a waste of pretty packaging” -- and just kept going. Great recap.

I'm sure Chela will wind up using that cookbook and I hope somehow Enzzo gets to see this.

Alexandra should give Candy the same advice she gave Ana. I like Candy, but she looked pretty skanky getting caught by Frauddie in a liplock with his dad. Nice that Frauddie is sensitive to his mom's wellbeing.

Glad Pancho and Rebie finally sealed the deal, but we don't have to go there anymore.
 

I haven't eve read this yet but I have to tell you how much I love your short of it / long of it intro. You are so funny right from the get go...

Thanks for the recap. No one has mentioned it that I know of but I really like the little cartoon at the end of the show. Its quite clever.

Good show last night - no Temo, instead we get that bozo Tomas throwing a tantrum.

AND finally Rebe and Pancho do the dirty deed! Took 'em long enough.
 

It took them 100 episodes to do the deed. That's the entire run of Fuerza del Destino! I do have to admit that I was surprised that so many episodes have passed already when I looked it up last night.
 

Great recap -- your side comments are hilarious.

So just yesterday I was commenting that the fact that Pancho & Rebe never did the deed but kept getting interrupted at the critical moment meant that maybe they were not the final pairing -- that Chela was going to be the one after all. Then next day -- wham! the deed is done.

What is with this series of guest stars -- Guzman, Pinal and now a pequeño gigante. Ditto on everyones comments about the yuckiness factor of the little singer serenading the lip locked adults. I thought that the RV was an interesting touch. I sure never saw an RV bedroom like that white satin and flower bedecked one. OK so can the sexual tension switch to Chela & Enzo now? They are so much fun to watch

I also hope that the previews are a misdirection but as you pointed out Julia -- Alex has been talking "anviliciously" of late. (Great word Julia.)

Pina is so good with Tomas -- and up to a point with Adoracion. It runs so counter to her naco-phobic nature.

Ditto on the Ale / Tomas scene. What was that all about?? It's a good thing I have my new beanie courtesy of the lovely Emilia.

Julia, thank you for he hilarious recap. I thoroughly enjoyed your Juliaisms. The girl-child who sang like a grown-up kind of creeped me out too. That was just weird.

Gotta hand it to Pancho, getting Rebe away from his familial distractions was probably the only way to, er, cement their relationship.

Shoot, the advances look wretched and what with all the "anvilicious" talk between Lupita and Alex I now fear the worst. I won't get to watch until Sunday night so I get to fret about it all weekend.
 

I wonder whose idea AG's guest-starring gig was, the producer's or hers? Did someone feel a strong need to boost her ego by putting her on the show and making everyone all but bow down and chant "we're not worthy, we're not worthy"? And she said, "okay, but I also get to make out with all the hottie dudes and air my grievances"?

I just love Pina's and Tomás's friendship. They are both at their best with each other. They give each other good advice, they seem more relaxed and happy when they're together, and Pina gets less snobby and Tomás less self-pitying.

The little girl was a good singer, but her visual performance was a little awkward, and who in heck drags a little girl out to the boonies to sing for a seduction?

I'm glad Moni and her mother had a nice chat. I'm really curious to see where Violeta's plotline is going. Obviously with a show this long she's likely to get mixed up with a lot of other characters besides Moni. Maybe she'll talk Enzo into being nicer to Pepe.
 

I'm a little confused by Violetta. She started out completely bitchy and snotty and now she seems much more sympathetic. Maybe her mental illness is a split personality or something.
 

She is confusing. Split personality, bipolar maybe? Or perhaps she's snotty to Enzo because she has some particular grievance against him, but doesn't have the same feelings about Moni or people in general.
 

Thanks for the recap Julia. Glad that Pancho and Rebe were finally able to seal the deal. Though the scenes with Ale are definitely gratuitous, I would take advantage of being in a TN with a lots of handsome young men and flirt with them all too ;)
 

Julia:
Thanks for writing such a wry and witty recap. I love your writing style.

I saw last night's episode and your recap made it so much fun to reflect on the show. Candy's dress was OTT. I love the actress in this role but the costume made her look like a sex worker in a window in Amsterdam.

Piña is a delight as a comic character. Her wordplay with Ado and others is too much fun.

Cap'n and Julia --sure looks like they are writing Violetta with a "pop" idea of bipolar disorder. Right now she just looks moody and inconsistent to me. Beanie's are ESP useful in the comic TN's.

It was about time that Rebe and Pancho got it on, although it took so long, it was a bit anti-climatic. No pun intended.
 

If Pancho's ardor can be thwarted by a minor interruption (such as Arnoldo dropping by Rebe's apartment), I don't know how he and Laurita managed to have three more kids after the first one. And in their family, no less, where it seems there is no concept of privacy.
 

Tks Julia

The avances gave me a uh, oh

Lupita might end up with Tómas after all, just hope Pina gets him cleaned up first.

Tómas & Elena go to the same corn row beauty shop
 

Still loving my Pina. For the moment, she seems to behave sincerely whether hating nacos or loving her amors.

The Reb looked fantastic in her closeup romantico scenes despite weird photo angles, and Pancho finally looked relaxed and happy. I'd like to see more of this kind of normal happiness between adults.

Ugh re Candy-teeth. Maybe if she wore clothes that let her breathe she might not be so hysterical all the time.
Nothing for me to like there.
 

Wonderfully written recap.
I join with those who had questions about the seranade to Pancho and Rebe. Didn't know anything about Pequenos Gigantes, etc. Still don't. Actually, couldn't figure out at first blush if she was a child, or...what? Pretty icky though. What's the idea supposed to be in that roll-out?
 

I still need to catch up again before I start the recap, but I certainly know what happened last night. That was certainly an unpleasant twist for a so-called comedy.

I remember the good old days when I used to whine that I didn't get to recap enough death scenes. In my defense, though, I was referring to villain deaths, not the Fafy Cuenca or Alex types. I don't know quite how I'm going to approach this.
 

I just watched it this morning. I'm not even invested in these characters (having only really watched Thurs and Fri episodes) and I was a weepy mess for almost the entire episode.
