El Talismán #39 Mon 3/26/12 Drunk as a skunk and dumb as a...well no animal is as dumb as Pedro


It's not just Fresno! On a cold, rainy day at the boat launch I snapped this picture of my friend's rain boots. Later that night I saw a bevy of bridesmaids and they were wearing zebra spiked heels! Unfortunately they were getting into a limo and I didn't have time to take their picture. Drat.


Today I am supposed to be doing something that I don't really want to do, so instead I decided to procrastinate by doing a small recap to start out the week:
 
Redux: On Friday Pedro found Camila with Antonio in a public place, gasp! He accuses them of having a thing going on because LooKrazy told him so.

Pigorio instructs Doris to divorce Antonio and she’s not on board with the idea. He wants Antonio out of his way and doesn’t care what Doris thinks. They discuss this for several scenes. She says she’s crazy sick for Tony, Pig looks unhappy at this, why did she sleep with the pig? Cuz she felt like it and the pig intrigues her.

Doris asks if she can still live at El Alcatrash after the divorce? Pig sez yep. She says in that case it would probably be best if they got married. Pig gulps and says she’s crazy. “But it would really pith off Tony,” she points out. Hmmm...

Fab and Flo discuss whether or not mom will accept Claudio. Flo is afraid her family will kill him. She figures out Fab blabbed to mom. Fab thinks mom will help Flo. Flo wonders if mom is manipulating them due to the divorce. Flo admits she still thinks of Jose.

Pedro and Camila have a loud public fight about Pedro winning the ranch from Camila’s father. Tony is happy until Pedro calls him a dog. Then all three of them start yelling at each other. Why isn’t the owner of this cafe kicking them out? Never mind, Pedro leaves.

Outside, LooKrazy feigns concern and happily watches while Pedro pounds his truck. She suggests he help her look for her apartment. “You know what?” he says, as if his pea brain could possibly have an original thought, “Why don’t you come back to El Tal?” Aaaargh!!! Loo pretends to resist, Pedro insists, yada yada yada. Aunt Patty is NOT going to be happy.

Panchito tells Tracy he wants more out of life than to be a peon. She’s worried something bad might happen to him. He smiles because now he knows she likes him. Then he tries to snuggle up to her in the Pig Pen and says she’ll one day be Mrs. Negrete, boss of the ranch.

Claudio and Gabriel discuss if Camila is trustworthy or not, but Claudio won’t tell Gab why he wonders. Sarita figures LooKrazy has something to do with this. The gossipy maid interrupts to tell them P and C broke up and now P and L are novios.

Camila tells Tony she has nowhere to go so. Then she changes her mind and says she’ll go to El Tal to finish her work. The background music is very suspenseful for some reason. Both she and Pedro swear to forget  the other.

Fab calls Armani to tell him she’s at the hotel. He’ll be right down because he doesn’t know Flo is with her. He waves to Fab then sees Flo and sprints off like a bunny, LOL! Say what you want about the dope, he can run fast. (Did you see his face? Priceless!) Fab says he must have a stomach ache so she goes looking for him.

Armani is fast but Fab is faster; she catches up to him and she’s wearing high heels. Oh gosh he’s so sick, he says. “But before I poop, you’re the most beautiful girl in the world.” He goes to his room and berates himself in the mirror. He decides he needs to confront her, he has no other option. But then he tells her he’ll talk to her later. When she wants to quickly introduce him to his sis he pretends he has stomach cramps again. So much for mature confrontation.

Loo doesn’t waste any time in boozing and floozing with Pedro. Loo tells the Tequila bottle that it will perform miracles tonight. This will likely be helped by the fact that Pedro just finished off the whiskey. Loo suggests he marry her so as to forget Camila. He gets drunker and she keeps kissing him and suggesting they do all sorts of things for him to forget Camila. I should have counted the shots she keeps feeding him. Soon he is falling down drunk but still blabbing he loves Camila.

Hey, Genoveva sighting. She sees Camila back at El Tal and runs up to hear that Pedro is driving Cami crazy. Cami updates Geno on everything we have already seen and says he can go to hell. She tells her in front of the house. She tells her again in their room.

Tony is back at the hotel with the healthy, though maligned, call girl. She has the Camila wig, he says this time try harder so he’s convinced it really is Camila in bed. He gives her instructions. Crazy creepy much?

Aunt Patty finds Loo and Pedro swaying, burping and crawling up the stairs. Loo updates Tia that Pedro and Cami are kaput, Pedro and Loo are novios and soon she will be his wife. The expected conversation ensues. I can’t believe Tia allows Loo to follow Pedro to his room. She helps him to bed and makes out with his motionless form while he stares into space whining about Cami betraying him.

Doris and the Pig debate her upcoming divorce. Why won’t he marry her? He says divorce first then they’ll discuss it, for the time being they’ll remain lovers.

Pedro passes out and Loo tells nobody in particular that nothing is going to happen tonight but as soon as he’s no longer drunk he won’t have a moment alone. 

I know there is more, but my neighbor had a roof fire and I got distracted. Luckily another neighbor saw it and called the fire department before too much damage happened. Whew!!

Comments:
You pretty much covered it. The advances show Camila confronting Lulu and Pedro.

Quien es mas tonta?
A. Armando for pretending to STILL be sick. (How long can he keep this up? Is there an Ebola plaque going around Fresno?)

B. Pedro, for pretty much everything. Dumbass.

C. Genoveva, for coming back. Dumbass.

D. All of the above

(hint: It's D)

Oh, and Armando ran into Antonio outside his hotel room. I don't remember what he said, but it wasn't "I totally want to boink your daughter, the brunette one". At some point he'll hopefully run into Antonio with his Camila-Whore, so he can blab the truth about the guy. But this won't happen for many episodes. Lucky us!

Scary to have a fire (not in the fireplace) so close. I hope all is fine.

I love the zebra boots! How did this craze pass us all by until El Tal? The bridesmaids with zebra heels? Awesome! What a fun bride that was.

I am just going to sit down to watch this episode. I hope it is really as funny as you've written, but my suspicion is that you have helped it along quite a bit.

I will watch for Armani's priceless expression. I loved your "but before I poop, you're the most beautiful girl in the world."

Let me guess... Camila started running on and on about Pedro to Geno and never once asked her how she is, let alone where she's been lately.

Thanks Sylvia. Off to sit in front of my tv and laugh.
 

LOL Kelly! "Is there an ebola plague going around Fresno?"

Or perhaps Armani eats too many of those Fresno raisins.
 

Kelly, thank you for that last bit. So Armani telling Antonio is the next big suspense, eh? I don't know if I can take it after Cami's announcement that she's going back to work. That was almost too much for one day.

R la O, oh yes, I totally think Armani is eating way too many raisins, hee.
 

I just watched the end and I could not believe that the Negrete girls were laughing about Armani's diarrhea while they were eating dinner in the kitchen! Who writes this stuff? Unbelievable.
 

That really was funny when they were talking about Armani's IBS and giggling away. He actually acted that out well. The look on his face was worth the rewind.

I loved F1's magenta dress. Did you see her hair color product placement box?

For the first time Panchito was lovable to me. I liked how he ribbed Tracy for liking him. For a brief moment I thought of him as something other than narizpicador.

It looked like Antonio had a bandage on his side. Am I forgetting an injury? Or was it a nicotine patch?

Again, I must say for the umpteenth time.... had they not had that violence, and we looked at this as a light hearted comedy, it could still be in prime time as opposed to the Slot of Shame.

Sylvia, thanks for getting us this recap.

R la O
 

Sylvia thanks so much for this. And yes Kelly the answer is D. Why such stupidity all the time? Sometimes its just not funny but thankfully the snark here is what makes it all laughable. And waiting for El Viral's realization that her new spouse is a con man will be fun.

I'm glad I don't know enough Spanish to understand what the girls were talking about at dinner. Has the head writer been fired yet?
 

We didn't see how the honeymoon is going! Or that there IS no honeymoon with Evil in a snit over spending it in "Rita's" apartment.

I can't stand stupid galánes. I want to like Pedro, but he's such an idiot. I tried to count his drinks but I think there were more than were shown onscreen. I think I counted 10 but he seemed to go through nearly a whole bottle of tequila and a few glasses of whiskey also.

At least Antonio seems to be having a good time. That look of total disgust he gave his FauxCamila was really funny. I also enjoyed Lucrazy's telling him off about being disgusting carrying on with hookers and all. Of course, even if he were a good boy and only got busy with his wife, he would still be carrying on with a prostitute! Ew.

I am stunned that Doris wants to MARRY the Pig. Barf. Why is she so attached to Alcatraz?

Thanks, Sylvia!
 

I turned on El Tal a minute early and Rosa de Guadalupe was on and I saw Chema! Unfortunately he was sporting that Armani kewpie doll hairdo that I find so unattractive.
 

thanks so much for the recap Sylvia!! i forgot to erase my Abismo ep from friday to make space for yesterday's ElTal.
btw, it got to tape about 5 min, so enough time to have watch Doris tell Pigorio that he actually TURNED HER ON (me enciendes, is that what she said? I could not believe my ears!!)


I knew this is where they would take Pedro on Monday so in that sense i was glad i did not get it on the dvdr... maybe this is why RN finally had ENOUGH and walked out or complained enough to get shown the door... in any case he is the winner, i think...
 

Marta, yes I think you are right that Doris told Pigorio is is a turn on. Yuck.

I don't think I will post a header for Tuesday's episode because not much happened. Here's what I remember:

Sarita wakes Pedro up and sees Loo's dainties flung about the room. Pedro think he did the nasty with Loo.

Like Kelly said, Camila confronts DumDum and Loo. Piedro accuses Camila of being Tony's lover. Loo says Cami should leave but Cam says she's staying to work and only her boss can fire her. She moves back into the guest house.

Tracy tries to explain to baby Flo the exact definition of "Friends with Benefits". Neither Flo nor Fab seems to get it.

Elvira is happily ensconced in her honeymoon apartment. Renato slips out to canoodle with Rita. While he's out Elvira calls Armani and invites him to inhabit the third bedroom of the apartment. This ought to be good.

Elvira annoys Rita by being happily married and excitedly bragging that she's getting a new mansion.

Genoveva and the other engineer make out.

Loo tells Claudio she is the new novia of Pedro.

Fab and Flo talk incessantly about boys.

Pedro tells Sarita and LooKrazy to play nice. LooKrazy pretends to apologize since she is Pedro's novia.

Camila goes to the mansion looking for her mother. Oscar answers the door and tells Camila that no Renato Betancourt lives there! She says she was there yesterday for a wedding and Ocar thinks she's crazy. Camila suspects Renato tricked ElViral. She tells Armani what happened and that Jaime the majordomo pretended not to know her. Cami shouts that all men are the same!
 

Not much happened?! Pedro thinks he was movin' and groovin' with Lucrazy. That's a Bingo square!
 

Oh whoops, sorry Julia! I'm still in a snit because Elvira's wedding wasn't derailed, thus costing me a square.
 

Thanks for the bullet points, Sylvia. How difficult would it be to re-post a header so we can talk once this one goes off the main page? If we can at least stay on the main page, EJ and I can chime in.

Is it definite RN is leaving the show? Maybe that is why he had chest pains? Oh, I do hate to see him go.

That is so ridiculo that just cuz Slutcrecia SAYS they are novios, that they ARE novios. Besides being utterly stupid, Pedro is spineless.

Elvira speaking with everyone in her afterglow voice. lol That won't last long. Soon the teeth will once again be bared.

I am going to be gone the rest of this week. Ya Baby, I'll be chillin' with our friend, Blue Lass, in Tampa.

R la O
 

Posting the header now. Got nothing to do 'til Rosemary gets here, anyway. ;}
