Caray, Caray!

Speaking of Kenia, will anyone ever learn about what really happened to her?

Who else will trip over Ingrid's grave? (that will surely be when the plane tickets are found)

Will somebody slap some sense into Gall?

Will Chente get busted by Lucio for tampering with the machines?

Gall needs to sit down somewhere. He doesn't want Paloma but doesn't want anyone else NOT to want Paloma either.

Tonia also needs to sit down somewhere. She "knew" Horacio killed Lupe and was fine with conspiring with him but now that she knows Horacio killed Blanca she can't work with a murderer?
 

Or is the real reason Gall is mad at Enrique for moving on with Flor is that he wishes Enrique would take Paloma away?
 

HaHa, hola Martaivett, Anita here from over on Refugio. Amiga, we had Don J taking a long time to die tonight and I called him Dead Man Walking!! Great minds are in the same rut!
Anita
 

Marta, what a great recap from beginning (title) to end (avances). I think my favorite quote is the "vacuum seal of her fish plunger kiss," bwahahahaaaa! That's SO funny, so brilliant.

I also liked "not even an all- star suite to include Perry Mason, Petrocelli and Matlock putting their heads together would be able to get Horacio out of this mess alive and free." No kidding. Horacio is screwed.

Speaking of which OMG, Horacio is a total pig. He was stuffing food in his face, yelling with his mouth full, and had food all over his chin. I hope someone kills him just so I won't have to watch his bad manners any more.

I like how Enrique is the guy who keeps dropping info bombs. I think he should drop at least one per episode.

I really had to laugh at Carmina ogling Dam in his undies. As if! And Elisa really believing Dam would have anything to do with Carmina? Double as if!! Looks like I get the episode with Elisa punching Carmina in the face. Yippeee!

Thanks Marta. You rock.

marta - Thank you for the recap. Not a real exciting episode and again I FFWDed-> thru much of it. The Horacio scenes were the only ones that held my interest. The rest felt like same-old, same-old.

Horacio's eating manners were a scream; clearly he was raised by wolves. What would Miss Manners have to say about this, gentle viewers?

Oh boy. Yet another telenovela rule. The obligatory kidnapping. (Gabs--->Lolita)

The FloRique table is open and back in business. Finally. I'll have a frozen margarita to celebrate! Their babies will be swaddled in Ace bandages.

Anon207 - Your second post/question is more on target re: Gael/Paloma/Enrique. EVERYBODY in that square dance has changed partners and moved on. Except Gael.

 

doris, so true...
EVERYBODY in that square dance has changed partners and moved on. Except Gael.

i was actually surprised Gael followed Braulio's lead and chose to go home to Paloma... but i was SOOOOO thankful to the writers for sparing us another 'Gael, you don't love me... Paloma, you knew that all along. i am here for our baby to have a father... but i can't give you what you want...' scene.

ITA that Horacio's table manners would have been nasty if Lolita ever wanted to have a dinner party with guests...

the whole scene at the cenote was a WTF from beginning to end... didn't Elisa have a long lead on Carmina? why did she arrive there so much later? Did she stop by her mother's grave to make sure it was ok with her that she go rock hopping with Dam before they were married?

surely we will have at least another week worth of Elisa not forgiving Dam and Dam taking offense at her lack of trust while Carmina laughs it off...

Does anyone else sense a huge anvil on Carito now? Have to say it was funny to see the cackle-cackle argument Carmina gave Gabino only for him to tell her that she fell right into Elisa's trap.
 

Yes, i am firmly planted/seated at the Flo/Kike table with frozen berry margaritas with sugar on the rim until what will probably be the last two episodes.
 

Marta: This was outstanding. I hung on every well written and placed word. "he doesn’t have a wife to come home to for dinner… so he is coming up with an alternate evening plan)" and "Ingrid was my boo" were only two of my favorites. I love how both you and Anita noted "dead man walking" in your respective recaps. Amazing. both.

For me, the absoulte highlight was the Enrique/Flor reuniting. I felt more happiness from that one scene than I have in just about anything else so far. Altair simply glowed and her laughter seemed completely real. Well played by both actors. And Doris, yes, I suspect their kids will be swaddled in ace bandages. Great line...

From the sublime to the scummy. Horacio's complete descent from man to beast. I mean my dog has better table manners. Did the writers really have to make him crawl on all fours and could they possibly have made him any creepier? Sylvia, I howled at "I hope someone kills him just so I won't have to watch his bad manners any more". Yup.

Marta, yes Carito will be next...

Carmina's vile kiss and slimy swim. The woman does have good timing which is the only positive thing I can say about her. Oh, and an outsize ego. Blech.

This is my Friday so happy weekend all!

Diana
 

OT: hot off the press! Alan Tacher (Mark's brother) is leaving 'Hoy' and joining 'Despierta America' cast. interesting. the poor guy is crying as the DA guys are welcoming him via sattellite.
 

"Did she stop by her mother's grave to make sure it was ok with her that she go rock hopping with Dam before they were married?"
Highly doubtful. She sure didn't ask Mom before she went sand surfing with Dam at the beach.
 

Marta- Fabulous job as always! I had a good chuckle at your Perry Mason line. :)

Horacio really is devolving into a cave man or animal, isn't he? We saw him bring back groceries to the little blue house, so it isn't like he's been starving for days. he had never been violent with women before, but now he's smacking Lola around and threatening to do the same to Tonia? He also didn't mind going off to jail before, as long as Lola was safe. Oh well. If the writers can turn sweet Gael into a troll, then they can turn Horacio in a beast. There better be some big bang payoff in the end, if they are going to make me watch him slobber up his food like that.

Dam keeping his eyes closed all that time while kissing the rotten citrus just made no sense. It also made no sense that Elisa left like an hour before Carmina, and go there after Carmina. WTF?!

Just when our couple was on track and actually doing the whole courting thing corectly (loved the serenade), up pops the Orange One to throw them back beyond square one. At least it results in Elisa smacking the Citrus around.
 

"He scares the eyeballs and boobies out of Tonia"
"She decides to fill out the application to play the quiz show game"
"Dam Good in Black changes into his Dam Good in Black Undies"

Thank you, Marta!

Also, I enjoyed the posted lines to the serenade.

Horacio's eating habits remind me of my dog, Danny, who had been beaten and was starving when we found him. He ended up living a long, wonderful life but he never stopped wolfing down his food.

I am anxious to watch the Quique part with Flo so I can figure out why he changed his mind. I am hoping he didn't cry through the whole scene, like he did walking around Galoma's wedding.
 

Thanks for this great recap, Marta.

"...whoa!! Did she steal an undie short from Elisa?"

Exactly my thought as I watched last night.

Diana,

" Altair simply glowed..."

I was all set to say, "Didn't Flo glow last night?"

and Sylvia,

"... Horacio is a total pig."

Wow, we all seem to be on the same page today.

I must say that watching Horatio eat was one of those disgusting things I wish I could unsee. Yikes.

And just when I'm thinking that Alfy is softening up, (notice that she didn't specify which Bouvier stole her husband), she has to tell Elisa (oh by the way) that Carmina was kissing on Dam. Well, I guess at least Elisa wasn't that surprised to see them together in the cenote. Thank goodness, at least Dam wasn't sporting those yellow briefs.

Before he left, Lupe should have given lessons on how to ward off an unwanted kiss. Dam was a bit slow (twice) with Carmina's assault. (Maybe she just tastes really good.)

And we were just getting to know Carito.

Carlos
 

The Rotten Citrus has no limits, does she? I'd love to believe that Elisa finally realizes this and will react appropriately by slapping her into next week.

However, I find it hard to believe that Damian wouldn't recognize that this wasn't Elisa even with his eyes closed. After all, if people get psychic messages (like a pain) when their unrelated SOs are in danger how could they fail to recognize the feel of their hands (or their surgical enhancements against their backs)?
 

Thanks, Marta! I'll try to catch up this weekend, but I sure don't mind the exciting pre-game show.

Dam really is Dum. He couldn't visually distinguish the love of his life from another gal who's at least 8 inches taller (Paloma at the wedding), and he can't manually distinguish her from someone who's got probably 50 pounds on her? Sheesh.
 

Not to mention the scent? People SMELL different from one another.

UA, the "surgical enhancements" against their backs, snort! Yep, definitely.
 

I feel a slow clap comin' on for Armando Araiza!
CLAP.........CLAP.....CLAP...CLAP CLAP CLAP CLAP for his portrayal of Horacio. His acting was award winning, IMHO. He is going off the deep end and trying, oh so hard, to keep a grip.

Yes, Carmina disgusts us all, but you must admit she looked a bit like she belonged on The Patio the way she had that admiring smile on her lips, hiding behind the fallen tree, watching the DamFineStrip. Did she really do anything we wouldn't have (in our wildest dreams) done?

I kind of think they used Elisa or a stand-in's legs though. I can't imagine her's are THAT toned.

Carlos - Is Flo Glow anything like Soul Glo?
 

Hey SuperMarta...you were on a roll last night. So many funny lines...my favorite being:

" vacuum seal of her fish plunger kiss," Lord! what an image!

ra said...

"He scares the eyeballs and boobies out of Tonia" Another keeper.

Tonia is so thin her bones jut out and then those silicone globes always on display. But if they help her get parts, what can I say? Employment counts...get the degree or get the enhancements.

Also, I'm in total agreement with Rosemary la Otra, those Carmina gams were a stand-in's legs, probably Elisa's. But we'll cut Sabine some slack...at this point in my life I'd like to have an entire stand-in's body. Sign me up!

Marta, that was just great. I rather enjoyed this episode, and certainly enjoyed your sizzling recap!
 

Thank you for the recap!

Somehow I don't think Elisa will scold Dam about Carmina. Especially after Alfie told her what her tía was up to. Looks like she will let Carmina have it in tonight's episode.

So Gael and Alfie are the last to know about Damlisa's partnership. I'm glad Enrique told Gael. AND I'm glad Flo and Enrique are back together.

I really liked the Alfie/Horacio scene. It was exciting.

Marta:

What a great recap! I so appreciated you translating the lyrics of "Contigo Aprendi". the song was just lovely. I am enough of a sap to be moved by having a love seranade sung at my garden gate.

Now, anoche estupideces— Carmina seducing Damian is almost the dumbest plot point EVER. I mean Sabine is cute for a 40-something woman, but really? And Damian allows someone to caress him from behind, on the same day Carmina tried to Hoover his face off at the stables and he doesn't TURN AROUND? Dumbian, it's a darn good thing you look so hot in the black swim shorts is all I can say. No one is going to mate with you for the potential IQ points you might lend a child.

Horacio was SO over the top last night. Why didn't the chimp director order him to foam at the mouth? Also, I desperately want to pull his hair out of his face. Arghh! I am right there ith all of you who hate his manners. Carlos, I, too, wish I could unsee that.

Sylvia: You GO on the girl fight. I usually do not approve of settling differences by pulling hair but in this case I might make an exception. Is Carmina's hair a wig? Would it come off in a fight?

Also, I suspect that Sabine may still be suffering from her ailment. We never see her legs and last night's perp walk was clearly a leg-double. She always wears flat shoes, too. I hope she is OK.

 

OT:

All right, friends and sports fans...I want to hear a few '¡Viva Gigantes!" from the Patio. Our SF Giants were awesome last night.

Big smile!

EJ
 

As long as you'll also yell Go Bucks! Beat Penn State!
 

EJ...Well DZ is 37-38 yrs old but yes it's a little strange because of their characters' ages. It was a similar scenario with him in STuD with Lucero. Carmina is trying to be a cougar!
--TF
 

EJ, or "Go JEEgantes" as our sports announcers say. I was at an 80th birthday party last night and every time we got a run everyone clapped and yelled "Happy Birthday" to the birthday boy.

OK JudyB, GO BUCKS!
 

JudyB:

Go Bucks! go Bucks! Go bucks. GO BUCKS! Sending your Bucks the Luck of the Giants (as of last night).

EJ
 

Lucero and David Zepeda are not that far apart in age, she's only 5 years older than him.

Sabine is probably less than 10 years older than DZ. However her character is a good 15+ years older than his.
 

EJ and JudyB, you guys crack me up...
ok Go Bucks!! and GO HEE-GANTES!! which is how it should be pronounced...
 

You try telling our gringo announcers how to pronounce HEE-GANTES. They don't quite get it, LOL!!
 

In LA, they actually make caps that say "Los Doyers."

Oh, to be in Chavez Ravine, now that winter is here...
