Amor Bravío #29 (Uni 24) Tue 9/18/12 Junior Kimodo’s Claws Come Out!
Camila explains to D'Andres this Tienda de Machos will help them determine which bull will be put to stud (semental), which will go to the bullfights (corridos), and which will go to slaughter (rastro)
Labels: bravio
A Dion and Aug trip to Europe couldn't happen soon enough for me.
Great recap, too.
We knew that Alonssso would come up with some delaying tactic about the divorce. Quite apart from knowing that he can't cut the mustard we know that Camila won't give part of anything she doesn't own.
No way will Augustina go to Europe without either Camila or El Diablo and he isn't budging as long as he knows Alonssso is bungling. She is also not smart enough to not stand in the way if Camila tries to boot the dragons out of La Malquerida.
I am royally peeved that we won't have another episode until Friday. Couldn't they have preempted AdP once instead of this one twice?
I wish the Bratgirl subplot would disappear. It's like an annoying insect that I'd like to swat.
BTW, it looks as if we will be without Amor Bravío tonight and tomorrow night. Univision is doing some kind of program involving Romney tonight and Obama tomorrow. I think the other TNs are OK, it's just the 10 pm slot that has been preempted.
This is annoying.
Bratgirl is a junior version of Ximena so far but could grow into a Gala (of Refugio). Thus far a good lashing with a buggy whip would benefit her immensely but her behavior will escalate; we can be sure of that.
Getting back to Alonssso, he wasn't married long enough -- and in name only at that -- to demand any compen$ation. Camila can easily turn this back on him and say that any such demand will make her seek an annulment, which would disclose the reason she can get one.
Wow, after watching Alonso have a meltdown when he learned what his mother and the devil did, it didn't take long for him to be a jerk to Cami again, did it? ITA w/Anon 7:45am that she needs to go back to her quickie divorce with a side of annulment.
UA - yes Abismo should be pre-empted instead. It's so silly now we could all use a break from it.
Juanita - Spot on with your assessment of the Bratgirl plot. Make it go away.
I wish the writers would give us a bone. Allow at least one couple to be happy for a few episodes instead of having the baddies menacing all the time.
I agree with the others that too many people are calling our hombre Daniel... I actually haven't watched the episode yet and didn't know it is preempted until Friday. How disappointing.
Christian de la Fuente is impressing me more and more as this story moves on. His acting is much better in Amor Bravio than in CS 2009. "He warns Leon not to come looking for him - cuz he won't like what he finds. BAM! Ooooh, I love it when he's forceful." That was a great scene, and you captured it perfectly.

Loriloo - ITA that the Bratgirl plot has purpose - to finally lead us to meeting Pablo parent's. But its still annoying.
I know everyone is so sick of me saying this, but Cristian De La Fuente is soooooo cute. OMG. When he smiles I completely melt. Those dimples and eyes are making me so weak. OY!
When Dan was washing the car and Camila walked past, as Dan was watching her walk away I kept saying to myself "Look back at him", and she did. Both were busted.
Paquita, I was thinking the same thing when they were showing the bull trials. Salud! I could have finished a whole bottle of wine with those long scenes.
At least Alonso is appalled by his mom and Dion's killing. I hope he ultimately turns on them.
I felt for poor Dan during his campfire scene, but considering he had just begged Rafa to use his bro's picture, I was a little miffed at him too. He's begging God not to let anyone else get hurt, and yet he's dragging some innocent guy into this mess. With a P.I./killer (whom I'm sure Dio will hire) on the case, I'm not so sure Rafa's brother is going to be so safe in that little remote town way in the south for much longer.
Please Vivi, tell Rafa what happened with Bruno! I hope Rafa stays on her case and makes her tell him what's wrong.
The BratGirl plot has a purpose, I agree. We now know she's not just after Pablo for the heck of it. Her parents are broke and this is all a plot of theirs to get BratGirl married into Pablo's family to have access to their money, and who knows what else... So in a way, Pablo is like Camila-- a trio of bad guys is plotting to get him married to one of them in order to get their hands on his money/inheritance. Question is, what do they plan on doing to Mariano?
I'm glad that Cami could read from the Padre's eyes how anguished he is about something. I think she did a good job trying to calm him and assure him things will be fine. Of course she can't possibly know that he's scared and anxious for her LIFE!
>(My, he D'Andres] looks mighty spiffy in that charcoal gray charro suit, Ay Papi!).
>D’Andres washes a car (drat, he’s wearing a shirt, oh well).< I was thinking the same thing.
Should we surmise you are a bit enamorada de el, along with cathyx, me and I think Anya is coming around, too.
Camila can't make it any clearer to Alonso that she can't stand him and he's nuts (or actually may not have any) when she sits down at the breakfast table and won't let him serve her? What on earth kind of a propuesta did he make over the divorce. He's either very stupid or very clever. Right now, Camila holds both the annulment and the civil divorce cards--no nookie, nada de nada. Just one time a marriage makes--consumation achieved. Stay away from him Cami.
Thank you Paq, for how the bulls are divided up. Silvia talks so fast and this is one lexicon I'm not familiar with. I pray we do not have to witness any bullfights.
We have a two-day drought ahead. I'm planning a little something for tomorrow. If it doesn't work, I'll post it as a comment.

I was so surprised by Al-Loco. Not only did he show a childlike response to mommy is a killer but he actually came up with a pretty good idea, not a great idea but a pretty good one. If all is lost and only the biggest baddies will go the route, I'm (Alonso) going to get some little something and get gone before the police bring the handcuffs.
Now a great idea would have been to take that cash from the safe, empty Mom's account of the assassin payroll and get gone. Punto.
My favorite scenes from last night: first, the ineptitude line so well said by Isa and so well repeated by Leo -- great. And Daniel's face when Dio talked about approaching Camila alone. It is a revolting prospect.
============
Anita: Glad I wasn't the only one wishing I had 1/2 Speed as an option on my recorder whenever I have to watch a scene with Silvia. I generally end up rewinding multiple times and hope for the best.....
Anyway, wanted to thank you for such a wonderfully suspenseful recap. My hubby forgot to rehook the cable back and I was sleeping off the flu bug or some such and missed mucho. Thanks for the filling in. Your description of the ending was powerful and I appreciated "He's gotten his fear fix from her".
I hope this TN keeps up with this more mature story. I hate it when the writers introduce a farfetched plot and expect us to go along with it. So far, this one is doing great. Keep it up writers.
Looking at Elisa and Damian in a clinch, I wonder how long it took them to get in a very intimate and amorous position with Damian not touching Elisa....lol!!!

Two scenes had me laughing: 1) Camila with hands in pocket rushing by Andres washing the car - she was so cute trying to suppress her feelings for him. 2) Leoncio: "Ineptitud?"
I can't believe Viviana's never told anyone about Bruno's abuse. Hope she opens up to Camila.
My poor little pen is being kept busy with Refugio. I finally got up enough nerve to post my own recaps rather than keep asking other recappers. But, I also didn't want the pressure of posting the same night I write it up on the first time out, so I decided to do something less stressful.
I did a similar compilation for Dr. Alvaro Nesme in CME and folks seemed to like it.

* That so many of the good guys appear to have brains and can add two and two together. It's a refreshing change, and I'm looking forward to seeing how the plot will develop if it's not based on everyone being unbelievably obtuse.
* The setting--I always love a good rancho, and this one, with its bull-raising, has a nice distinctive angle. Plus any location that means that the men have to wear special costumes is good in my books.
* SN is always to the good, and there seem to be nice sparks between her and the galan. (Who doesn't do anything for me, personally, but he's nice to look at.)
* The gang that can't shoot straight is kind of getting on my nerves. Dionisio can't help but be fun to watch, but honestly I skip over the others. Perhaps it's that my favorite kind of villian is like the mother in La Otra or even Fina and Roberta in CME--the ones that are integrally part of the family and so can't be disposed of so easily. The ones that have everyone fooled about saintly they are, and whose crimes include emotional manipulation rather than just murder and swindles. In this story I keep thinking--Camila, divorce Alonso and then kick him and his merry gang to the curb. It looks too easy.
* The lack of subplots. Until Viv's ex showed up, there was a total of one subplot--Luzma and Pablo. (I actually like them a lot, although I can be allergic to teenagers in soaps.) Ximena's "story" is all character-developoment so far, with no subplot developing around her. Agustina and her suitors--that's been totally centered around the rancho and Camila. As for Viv and Rafa up till now--doesn't anyone else get frustrated that we're watching two attractive and presumably intelligent and talented people being so obsessed with Camila and her problems that they can't come up with any problems of their own? Thank heavens for Bruno's arrival in this regard--and I thought the first scene between him and Viviana was excellent--what happened physically made sense and wasn't pure cliche.
By the way, could it be that always takes a while for subplots to develop? I usually watch a telenovela by first viewing the abridged DVD version and then searching for more episodes on line. This is the first time I've watched one from the start.
