Una Familia Con Suerte #257-258 Fri 5/18/12 Vice's Vices Take Their Toll
Part One: The Bachelorette, Toluca Edition
Scenes consolidated for narrative convenience.
Ana awaits the two finalists in this year's tiresome edition of "The Bachelorette: Toluca." Lupita, our host, explains that she told each of the guys to give it their best shot because it never, ever occurs to anyone on these shows to say "Hey, this is making me miserable, I think rather than honor some arbitrary and imaginary deadline I just won't pick anyone for now."
Fred and Adrián have a calm conversation outside with no punching. No new information. They agree to let Ana decide.
Fred will go first. Chucha excitedly announces his arrival. (Ana fusses over her appearance, which strikes me funny. I think she should frump herself up as much as possible and see how they react. Fred already loved her when she was still in dungarees. Adrián didn't meet her till later. But anyway.) Fred accepts her reason for deceiving him to get her dad out of jail. He reviews all the ways in which he's changed. He loves her and he's ready to be with her for the rest of his life and have a family with her. He leaves the house looking uncertain, and with no rose. Next!
Adrián opens with "How'd it go with Fred?" BZZZZZT FAIL!! Ana asks if that's what he wants to talk about. No, he wants to talk about how great she is and how much better his life is with her in it. He loves her and he's ready to be with her for the rest of his life and have kids with her. He leaves the house looking pleased with himself, but with no rose.
Ana agonizes over her choice with Lupita. Yawn. Lupita is the most incredible trouper. I would have told Ana to find a new rehash buddy a long time ago.
Vice is feeling sorry for himself. Enzo wants him to get his head out of the oven. He tries to get Vice to stop drinking. Vice is stubborn. He blurts that Violeta is a killer. Then he backpedals and says no, she didn't kill, it's just that she's crazy and she could kill. Enzo wants to know WHO could she kill? "That's not the problem," Vice protests, and changes the subject. The problem is that he's alone and his life is a disaster. Enzo tells him he's not alone; Vice kicks him out and continues drinking.
Enzo goes home to Chela. She doesn't want to hear about Vice. She worries about his health. He nicely asks her to stop acting like she's his mom.
Enzo meets with Fred to tell him about his talk with Vice, killer comments and all. Vice said Fred was the only light in his life; maybe Fred can help.
So Fred goes to Vice and says he's worried and that Vice shouldn't drink so much. Vice says he's fine and Violeta isn't a killer, she's just loca. He tells Fred he's divorcing Candy because of Violeta. He can't ever seem to have just one woman in his life. He needs the adrenaline of a fling. Honestly, he loved Candy, but he's never loved anyone as much as he loved Pina. And why'd he leave her? Because he's an imbécil. Fred asks if he wants Pina back.
Pina is whisked away by Sebastián on a magical mystery tour to the countryside. He asks if she's afraid of heights. She's getting antsy about all the secrecy.
There's a hot air balloon that says "PINA TE AMO" on the side. Hmmm, whatever could be happening? She's nervous about going up, but the scenery is beautiful. Seb has thought of everything: music, champagne, and a nice sparkly ring. Yes, this is what he's been hiding from her. CAREFUL DON'T DROP THE RING!! She's amused that everyone else was in on the secret. YES to Sebastián's proposal, and let's get down from here NOW!!
As they're arriving home, she tells him the whole scheme was way more than necessary. Ado asks some coy questions. Pina pretends to be angry with her for keeping the secret. Finally she reveals that she did say yes to the proposal. Ado hits her head on a lamp and passes out. Seb revives her. She hugs both of them. (Maybe she enjoys Sebastián's embrace a little too much.)
Mónica and Pepe look at a new apartment. He agrees to hire a "girl" so they won't have the trouble they did last time. (Wait, wasn't he just fired? How can he afford a nice apartment AND a maid?) But he wants a dog.
Pancho and Rebeca have arrived in New York. Pancho is overwhelmed... and cold.
It turns out they're not at Avon World HQ, which is in Manhattan. They're at Avon Global Research & Development, in Suffern, NY. Nervous Pancho makes random comments in English to their guide, Sofía, who clearly isn't used to such goofiness. The executives at the meeting are a bit confused by him too, but try to be charmed. Then this Wilson guy shows up to start the meeting. Rebeca helps Pancho with his manners. I don't think Pancho likes the looks of this Wilson fellow, who apparently doesn't speak Spanish. Wilson presents them with their Flame award of excellence for Avon Mexico. Funny, it looks like a plaque to me. When he gathers Pancho into a congratulatory embrace, Pancho hisses to him in Spanish that Rebeca is HIS hot wife.
They tour a factory and Pancho wants to get frisky with Rebeca right there. Then the two take in the sights of New York; but really, all they see is each other.
Candy tells the Mother Superior that she's given it a lot of thought and she really wants to be a nun. Mother S tells her you don't join (or wear) an outfit like the clergy just to hide from your worldly problems. You need to have the calling. It's a long process. You have to give up worldly goods. "Where do I sign?" Candy replies.
Tomás and his partner are at the bar where young hacker Don David was last seen. (So Tom is now a homicide detective in addition to SWAT? Or did he transfer?) The bartender knew the kid and is shocked to hear that he was killed. Yes, he remembers the woman he left with. She had everyone's attention as soon as she came into the room. (Not only is she hard to miss on account of being so tall, but she was wearing a bright pink dress besides. Does she think her magic earrings make her invisible?) She went right up to the kid and they left soon afterwards. The bartender agrees to go to the police station as soon as he gets off work.
Next day.
Ana wakes Lupita. (Ana didn't sleep all night, so why should anyone else get their rest either?) She's decided. Whoopiee. Ana calls Pancho and Rebe (who are enjoying a hansom cab ride in Central Park) to tell them her choice. We don't get to hear who it is. Pancho and Rebe are coming home tonight.
Adrián tells himself that he'll be the lucky guy. (He's wearing a suit just to stand around in his hotel room.) He calls his daughters and tells them he's still waiting but he's the happiest guy in the world.
Pina tells Fred (who told himself in the hallway that he'll be the lucky guy) that she's marrying Sebastián before he has a chance to hint around about Vice wanting her back. He tells her that Vice is a mess, he's divorcing Candy, and there are things that he's hiding from Fred. Pina doesn't want Vice dragging Fred down. Fred finds it hard to believe he's the child of a broken home. When he gets married, he'll fight to make sure it's for life. (Maybe he shouldn't marry a flake, then.) Pina is proud of him. Fred promises he won't get in the way of her marrying Sebastián.
Pancho and Rebeca talk about the twins' baptism. To avoid fighting over it, he'll pick Julio's and she'll pick Ana-G's. They pause to admire the Statue of Liberty, then go back to smooching.
The bartender works with the sketch artist to come up with drawing that is so vague, it could be Mónica or any other person with a chin-length bob as well as Violeta. But I guess the fact that the bartender already said she's six feet tall ought to narrow it down a bit too.
Part Two: Magical Mystery Wedding
Considerably less consolidated due to faster action!
Vice receives a visit from Violeta in his office. "I'm doing okay, considering I'm in a relationship with a murderer!" Violeta complains that Pepe's still nosing around her daughter. Moni deserves better. Violeta will have to intervene!
Ana calls Fred. "Let's meet." She doesn't want to do this over the phone. Pancho and Rebeca come back from New York and go straight to the nursery. Ana stays behind to call Adrián.
Pancho shows off his Flame which still looks like a plaque to me. Temo asks, "What did you bring me?" He's old enough to have better manners. Pancho pretends he didn't bring anything, but no, he brought lots of stuff. Ha ha ha. Ana returns from her phone calls and assures Pancho she's sure of her decision. He's sad she'll leave him, but gives his blessing.
Pepe and Moni have been summoned downstairs to see Vice. In short:
Vice: Violeta is dangerous.
Moni: Naw, she's just sick.
Vice: Pepe is in danger.
Moni: You're exaggerating.
Vice: He could die.
Moni: Are you sure?
Vice: I've done my duty. Do what you like. I just don't want any more deaths.
Moni: Wut? That's crazy!
Vice: I can't say any more. Don't take any wooden nickels, kids!
Pepe and Moni tell Pancho and Rebeca. Nobody is 100% sure that Vice is wrong about Violeta. Moni considers calling her mother, but is dissuaded. But Violeta wouldn't hurt her too... or would she?
Vice goes to Enzo and Chela's. Chela was just telling Enzo this pregnancy hasn't been so bad. Less nausea. Vice's arrival kinda spoils her good mood. She reads him the riot act for putting Pancho in jail and kicks him out. Enzo agrees to take Vice outside. Chela tells Concepción not to let him in ever again.
Vice, increasingly unhinged, babbles. Terror and alcohol have rendered him somewhat incoherent. He can't turn Violeta in. He won't explain why, but says he's "involved" regardless. She "knows things." Enzo tries to understand. Vice freaks out and wants to leave.
Next day.
Candy is all nunned up. Mother Superior is surprised she hasn't yet told her family of her plan to join the clergy. They're going to find out sooner or later and she won't be able to get out much.
Ana and Lupita plan the wedding and visit the church. They wonder where Candy is. She's supposed to be Ana's maid of honor and such.
Vice goes to Pina's office and invites her to dinner. He wants to talk. Not about work, but about "us." Pina takes great pains to assure him that they are DONE and there is no "us." She's moved on. Vice whines about Sebastián. Pina says, in short, "Fred told me you were a wreck, but ye gods!" "You're all I have left in my life," Vice pleads. Pina shows off her ring to drive the point home. She says, in far more words, "you suck, please go away." He gets handsy with her.
Pancho shows up just in time and tells Vice to pick on someone his own size. He reminds Vice that he hasn't forgotten his week in the joint, then kicks him out.
Pina explains that Vice is upset she's getting married; he had told her she's the most important thing in his life. Suddenly, they both realize that Sebastián is probably in trouble.
Oh yes he is. Pina calls Security. (Just think, Tom could have had a slightly interesting day at Avon.) Vice is shaking Sebastián. S is brave, but Vice is loco. Pancho comes in and tells Vice he's lost Pina forever. He won't calm down.
Security arrives. Pancho tells them not to be rough with this executive. Vice makes defiant noises and gestures, but lets them escort him out. Pancho comments that he doesn't smell the sulfur.
WEDDING DAY!
How many weddings is this, now?
Ana shows off her wedding gown to Pancho and the Rebecas. (Doña Rebe says she looks so great she'll give the groom a heart attack; no one even blinks at this, but I'm glad Lupita didn't hear it.) Pancho gets teary-eyed. Ana hints that she's pregnant. Ha ha! Just kidding! Man, that joke never gets old! He tears up some more, offers his own blessing and that of her mother and grandmother, and calls up the family to go the church.
Adrián is putting on formal wedding attire. Fred is still in his robe and his combing his hair slowly and deliberately. Neither looks very happy. Nervous? Angry? Sad?
Pancho and Ana are at the church. Where's La Burra? And where's Ana's HEMLINE?? Doesn't this church have a dress code? Like, requiring the bride to wear something? Anyway, Pancho is remembering the day Lupita got married, and he wanted to run far away with her and leave everyone behind. He feels the same way now. (Again, I can't believe he's talking about Lupita's wedding. That's the last thing Ana needs to have on her mind.) They cry. He tells her it's the happiest day of her life. The bells are ringing. Time to go in!
Everyone is watches as Pancho leads Ana to the altar and hands her off to the groom. (Candy is there in an orange dress with a moderate cleavage display and less jewelry than usual.)
At first, all we see of the groom is his hand, then Ana's smiling face. Finally we pan back to his face, and it's Freddy. Phew!
Then Adrián comes in and stands there, halfway down the aisle, for a long time. Then he takes a seat, followed by his daughters. Fred turns around a moment later, wondering where his father is.
Except for the long, boring flashbacks to Ana's breakup with Adrián, this ceremony goes off without a hitch (besides the marital hitching, of course).
So, about the flashback to the breakup. She tells him he's a great guy, but. That's enough for Adrián. He doesn't want to hear any more, but she insists. She acknowledges that he's never let her down and this is really going to hurt; but she's marrying Freddie. He wants to know why. Basically, it's that Fred got to her first and he's the love of her life. He was a jackass for a while, but it turned out okay.
All Adrián wants to know is if it's because of his daughters. She says no. It's just that the heart doesn't take orders. They're going in different directions and she doesn't want to make a decision she'll regret later. He weeps manfully and wishes Ana and Fred well.
So, back to the ceremony. I think the priest had better hurry up because they're already rubbing noses and I don't how much longer they can wait for the kiss. Here it comes: They kiss. Nobody has a sudden attack of rigor mortis.
Speaking of which, Vice is at home with Violeta. He finishes his drink while she fixes his tie. Today's earrings remind me of Eeyore's tail. She drags him out of the room. Vice flings his whiskey glass over his shoulder and it shatters on the floor. We get a close-up of the broken glass. (Good thinking, Vice! Make it look like you put up a struggle!)
Outside the church, Pina and Pancho greet one another as co-in-laws. The newlyweds emerge to great applause. Doc Oc offers his lucid congratulations and advises them never to let any third parties break them up. Fred sadly observes that his father never showed up.
I don't know this band that's playing at the reception, but they're good. I like the accordion. Could do without all the bubbles, though - reminds me of the Lawrence Welk show.
Ana does a song. She's now wearing a puffy thing along the bottom of her dress, I guess so she doesn't flash everyone when she goes up on the stage. She sings that song she always does. A new song would have been nice for this occasion, but I guess she didn't have time to write one!
Violeta and Vice show up just after Ana finishes her song. Vice has already obtained a new drink. Violeta is complaining that only a Lopez would have the poor taste to hold a wedding reception at a disco. Pancho notices the smell of sulfur. Candy sees Vice and becomes agitated. Pancho and Rebe try to keep her from making a scene.
Vice makes a lame excuse to Fred for missing the ceremony. He feels God has forgotten him anyway.
Moni and Pepe notice Violeta. Pina asks Sebastián not to let Vice provoke him.
Violeta congratulates Fred and tells him that that soon she'll be related to him, too. She'll be like hismother.
Tom comes back from a phone call somewhere and stares bug-eyed at Violeta. "Who is that?" he asks, recalling the incredible likeness produced by the police sketch artist. Moni identifies her as her mother - Vicente's lover.
Next time:
Wild guess: Violeta acts like a jerk.

Tom comes back from a phone call somewhere and stares bug-eyed at Violeta. "Who is that?" he asks, recalling the incredible likeness produced by the police sketch artist. Moni identifies her as her mother - Vicente's lover.
Next time:
Wild guess: Violeta acts like a jerk.

Oh, Julie this was great. I was waiting on pins and needles to see who Ana picked. It took forever!
You're right about that pic of Violetta, it looked more like Moni to me.
That Avon event was too funny. Pancho can not speak English very well, but neither could Mr. Wilson really, he had a very heavy accent.
So Moni will never learn the fine art of homemaking I see. I too wonder how Pepe can afford to hire a girl, maybe a cousin or other sibling of Concepcion?
I thought they said something about Tomas being head of intelligence with the policia. I may have heard that wrong. He is a great homicide detective though. He always gets his man, er woman.
Candy, as a nun. I just don't see it, but maybe she can be. I guess we will have to wait and see. What a 360 degree turnaround for her though.

Julie, Thank you for this detailed recounting of part I. I can't believe but I am truly relieved that we are staggering into the final week. You have produced such fine work and I look forward to your humor and detail on the wedding hour. Ana bores me so much and the whole angst scenes between the two guys was so unbelievable, I agree totally with your yawns. Who cares.
Maybe the unfortunate part of this telenovela was that it started out so well and freshly written then the writers or more probably the producers got big heads with its explosive popularity in Mexico so they added many more episodess of a much lesser quality. I think the recapper troup is all utterly exhausted. I don't know if you will continue on with the next TN but I will step down. Still I look forward to keeping in touch with all of the CarayCaray community via comments. Thanks again for all your work and we all look forward to the second part of this fine recap.

I was surprised by all the suspense about who Ana had chosen, because I saw the last 15 minutes (the wedding and reception) before I saw the rest of it. Honestly, I didn't think there would be any way to make it suspenseful, but Adrián's confidence and the fact that Fred was still in his bathrobe combing his hair did hint at a different outcome.
Anyway, I'm almost done with the wedding. All I have now is the reception. There's not much to it.

Julie, thank you so much for doing such a masterful job...again.
I found myself wondering how much Telivisa forked out for that trip to New York because it wasn't worth it. So, Pancho worked for Avon research, etc., etc., and not Avon, the cosmetics firm? I guess there would have been a great deal more product placement if it was Avon cosmetics, which does a huge business in Mexico and Latin America.
That being said, it seemed a long way for Pancho to go to get a plaque in a conference room in front of...some employees?
And the location-scouts didn't seem to do any favors to Manhattan. What was with that blue house they showed four or five times...in Queens? The other NY scenes seemed so random...and standard. Just backdrops for more Panch-Reve smooching. zzz-zzz.
With the show drawing to a close, I want to join with everyone thanking the recappers for doing such a splendid job, especially given the two-hour shows that often resulted in some boring redundant plot-lines. The humor and good writing often made the recaps far more interesting than the shows. (So, yes, I totally agree with Julie's take on the endless Ana-Bachelorette saga. Enough already!)
Before saying good bye to this show, a few final thoughts:
- Candy as a nun works for me. Her disastrous luck with husbands was definitely God's way of pointing her elsewhere. I speak of this from some personal experience.
-I hope the young actor who plays Temo can find work after this but I'm not so sure, and I know I'm in good company here on this point. He vastly over-acted virtually everything so that when he just showed up on screen, I'd start to wince. And his "ugly cry" is really tough to watch. I couldn't ever accept the poor dear as Pancho's son.
-Finally, my Frieda. I'm glad she fired Pepe and with him, that Moni who never was my fave. I still hope Frieda triumphs with some really wonderful galan before the series comes to a close. Or wins Miss Universe. Either way, to the end, I remain on Team Frieda.
Again, thanks so much to all the very talented writers who serve as recapers and those behind this wonderful site.

No, no - it's Avon the cosmetics firm, but they went to their research & development building instead of the main HQ building.
The company may have been in the process of relocating when they shot these episodes - I found an article saying the main HQ was moving in 2011.

Oops, a bit fast on the Publish button - I meant to say that Suffern is way out in the 'burbs, not in city, not even in the boroughs. That's why there were housey-looking buildings in the neighborhood as they drove up.
I would assume that Avon paid for the trip in real life as well as in the story as part of their promotional deal. But it did seem kind of random and silly.

Great first part Julie. I was amazed that Avoon HQ was giving anybody in Avon Mex a prize considering how many times they had legal/personal problems that affected the stock prices that year. But I guess in the end, Pancho managed to keep things afloat through the disasters.
The NY trip was pretty boring, but it just made me wonder why U.S. produced tns can't afford to really go to NYC or L.A. to film, at least a few scenes. They always use fake backdrops for NYC in Telemundo tns.

There's the cost of transporting and housing a lot of people and equipment, or paying big bucks to rent local equipment. NY and LA are expensive in general, and these studios may not have the budget for it.
They may have to pay big bucks to get a permit to shoot there, too, or there may be union requirements to include local people (at local rates) in the cast and crew? Dunno, just a guess.

Thank you so much Julie for part two. Oh, the wedding dress was hideous. I thought would would see everything, if she bent just the wrong way. The second ruffle add on wasn't bad, but just as tacky. I am glad though that Freddy and Ana are finally married.
Violenta is disturbing. Vice is giving all kinds of hints about her, but noone seems to be listening. I think Enzzo has a clue, he was involved with her and knows how bad she can be. I am glad at least he warned Pepe and Moni. That was a surprise. At least it shows Vice won't cross the line and kill someone.
Loved how Tomas figured that drawing was Violenta. But of course he had all the other clues too.
I thought at first the band was Ana's but with a different lead singer, but it wasn't. They were good.

I thought everyone was listening to Vice's hints about Violeta. Even if no one really knows exactly what happened, Rebeca and Pancho seemed worried. Pepe and Moni are worried. Enzo and Fred are definitely worried. The problem is that they have no information or evidence that they can really bring to anyone. All they have is hearsay, and it's from someone who has a poor track record with respect to telling the truth.
Vice is the only person who can do anything, and he's too afraid - because not too long ago Violeta threatened to hurt Candy and Fred, too. There's no telling what she'd do if he turned her in. Most likely she'd only be questioned at first, and then she'd have time to do him in while the police get the evidence they need to lock her up.
Maybe Tom will try to get Vice to wear a wire and get a confession out of her. I'm sure that would work out just great until she started tearing his clothes off three seconds into the conversation.
On the other hand, if she's truly bipolar, maybe she'll crash before she can do any additional damage.
Ana's band, at least some of them (I'm not sure they've had the same lineup all along), were guests at the reception. I guess they never went up on the stage. There was a girl I didn't recognize sitting with them.

I totally agree about Ana's wedding gown. It looked awful. Way too short. Loved the comment that she needed more dress to get on the stage to cover her privates. Amen! That whole story line was tedious.
As for Temo, what a brat! His crying was THE worst! That ugly face he made while sobbing louder than anyone else. Where was the director? The kid's mother? Hope to never see him on another TN.
I am ready for this to end as the story line goes beserk. And I messed 3 weeks worth of it. Basta ya!

Thanks for the 2nd half Julie. The most odd thing about the wedding for me was not the dress-- it was the lack of FOOD. What kind of Lopez affair was this with no delicious Mexican food on display?!
Temo the actor does need to work with an acting coach on the ugly crying. But once he stopped acting like a brat with Rebe, I was fine with him.
My favorite characters have been Pina and Ado. I am so glad that Pina is getting her happy ending. I hope Ado can have one too.

No, I've found Temo even more annoying lately after a growth spurt that truly makes him look too old for the loud crying that he does. I didn't mind his face, but the loudness was ridiculous.
As for the food, maybe it hasn't been served yet. I'm hoping the buffet will open up first thing Monday night.
Over time, my favorite characters have changed, but I've found Pepe/Moni to be the most interesting. They never became quite as tiresome as some of the others. (Lupita was NEVER tiresome, but she wasn't always interesting, either!)

Julie, fab recap. My favorite lines: "this year's tireless edition of 'The Bachelorette: Toluca" and "a drawing that is so vague it could be Monica or any other person with a chin-length bob..."
ITA Ana's gown was the worst. She has lovely legs but they could've waited for the luna de miel to show them off.
I don't know about Candy being a nun. She's running away from something, rather than running to something. Plus I can't see her being satisfied all covered up in a habit for long. Maybe she should take a smaller step first and simply be a dedicated church volunteer.
I understand Chela's ire about Vice, but she's got to remember that he's her husband's friend. Enzo has the right to let him visit, inside the house, if he wants.

A great finish to match the ever so clever bachelorette theme. I will cast my vote for worst taste in a wedding dress ever, I mean ever. What were they thinking hiring such an idiot for a designer. But then I find Ana just as ridiculous so it kind of goes with her general tackiness. There were moments when Ana finally looked happy and the pretty actress shone through the drivel.
Temoc actually had his hair comed down like a normal human being for the wedding. He is a cute kid and was blessedly silent through the ceremony. Let's just pray he gets a non-whiner role in the next TN he is in if there is a next one.
Candi's outcome has become a bit more interesting. She was pretty glamorous at the wedding but not in a slutty dress at least. I guess we are supposed to take her reduced makeup as clean faced. It is an intriguing proposition of what she should do now though.
I agree that Moni and Pepe have become the most interesting of the couples at the moment although Enzo and Chela are going through some multi-faceted relationship changes. Rebe Senior is having the most fun exploring her new life.
I find the car crash previews most disturbing. I so hope this is another red herring.
Thanks once again Julie, you did a super super job. Hasta la vista, baby...

Julie...thanks for another well-written, witty slog through another two hours. It's you recappers who should be receiving an award, not Pancho.
Like Doña Felipe, I was amused by the repeating loop of that blue house and the dreary suburbs, and totally bored by the Pancho/Rebe smooches in various New York locations.
Ah well, the end is near.
Agree with you all, the wedding dress was tacky. But I have found this show overall to be tacky, so in some ways, it was just right.
Given the telenovela penchant for lots of tears and hysterical grief, I predict that the Temo actor will have parts galore coming his way. So take cover everybody!
As for Pina, I doubt they would kill off her character. Maybe a serious injury so we can have ONE MORE HOSPITAL SCENE WITH THE WHOLE CREW before this one wraps up.

This really has been a lively romp, and I stand in awe of the recappers -- you guys are amazing. Since they're slotting the next comedy into the afternoon, it may be a while before I get another chance to laugh this much.

This is so so true! Victoria Ruffo comes to mind immediately. Maybe Temo and Vicki could be in a TN together.

Julie, a big hug, handshake and slap on the back to you and all the Familia recappers for recapping these two-hour episodes. Well done! I always look forward to your recaps and I think your bachelorette theme is just perfect.
I enjoyed the scenery from the balloon ride. I also really liked the band at Ana's wedding, Los Ironicos del Norte I think is who they said they are.
Regarding Ana's dress, I read an article that said her original dress was long, but the producer Osorio didn't like it. There was a mad rush for them to find the "perfect" dress in just two days. It's hard to imagine a more hideous wedding dress, but it did show off her fabulous gams which I guess was the point. And I give her props for jumping up on stage to play the accordion.
Julie, thanks again and congratulations on your very last Una Familia recap!

Muchíchimas gracias, Julie! You make a great Bachelorette host! Thank goodness Ana finally chose and married Freddy so we can move on from that stupid plotline.
Ana's horrible wedding dress reminded me of the "November Rain" video. There was a trashy rock'n'roll bride in a super short in the front wedding dress like that. Do churches in Mexico have no dress codes for weddings or is this just in Novelalandia?
The NY scenes were completely pointless and it makes absolutely no sense that Avon would give Pancho an award. His branch of the company is a nightmare. All the execs are constantly in and out of jail and taking lengthy time off for personal issues. A huge amount of money was just heisted from the company account...have they gotten that back yet? Etc. etc.
I guess Pepe and Moni can afford a better place and a maid because Pepe finally agreed they can use the money Moni got from Violenta. What an inspirational lesson in how to be successful: just take the money everyone keeps offering you! I don't know why more people don't do it!

Can you believe only three more nights left? Where has the time flyed? Ha. All you recappers y faithful viewers deserve a rowsing round of applause.
Any word on the elenco being on any shows like Don Francisco?

I did not actually hate Ana's dress. I didn't even mind that it was asymmetrical. I just thought there should have been a lot more of it on the bottom. The giant add-on tutu (assuming that's what it was and not a completely different dress) really wasn't an improvement.
I didn't realize Pepe agreed to use Violeta's money. I'm surprised Moni even still has it, given how much Violeta hates Pepe. But I guess Vio figures Pepe won't be around much longer anyway.
I noticed V was playing with her ring when she told Vice she was going to "intervene." Vice doesn't know about the ring, does he? Nor her little box filled with vials? (Funny, my first thought when I saw that box last week was "Flores de Bach!") So he has no idea how easily she can off him.

My comment was supposed to say muchísimas. I can spell, but I can't type.
I'm a little surprised by the wedding dress scramble. I always figured they just pulled something out of the Televisa wedding dress closet. "Demure or sexy?" and that's that. Huh. Well, they certainly made us notice it. Once in a while I wouldn't mind seeing a wedding dress that's stylish and different.
I also think women on telenovelas could get a new Luke and be stylish and confident without wearing skintight short dresses and impractical shoes all the time, but it rarely happens.

Julia- I think they actually do put a lot of thought into the wedding dresses for these shows. Lupita's demure and pretty wedding dress matched her perfectly. Both of Candy's were sexy and daring. Rebe's was classic. I'm sure Pina's will be as interesting as she is. Ana's convertible short dress matches her too, I think.
