Amores Verdaderos #38 Wed 1/2/13 50 Shades of Embarrassment

I mean, seriously.


* So, lo refrito from yesterday: Kendra tries to sneak out of the superheroes’ room quietly but she’s caught by Tomasina. She says she was looking for Salsero. Why, how can she don’t know that he is in the hospital taking care of his sick mother? Isn’t she his girlfriend or something? Kendra mumbles something about how their relationship sucks and she only came to break up with Sunglasses. Anyhoo, she’s busy so she has to leave, adios! Tomasina uses her super horoscopic skills to analyze those two: Kendrat is a snake (Viewerville: we knew it!) and Salsero is a monkey (LOL), they are not supposed to be together.


* In Nikki’s room Mommy Vicky tells her little girl that she’s very worried for her, shouldn’t she call a doctor? Or is there another reason why she passed out? Like what? Like her nonexistent period, says Victoria. Nikki freaks out a little bit: first she hired that gorilla-babysitter, now she and Tomasina monitor her use of sanitary pads? Come on, she just sunbathed too much, she’s perfectly OK, okay? Okay. Victoria leaves to meet with Odette Longoria. Nabila comes into the room and Nikki asks her to be nicer to Poilta and that country chick.

* Bea is sitting at Guillo’s bedside, and while she’s watching her sleeping son, she’s wondering what that pig Leonardo told him. She can’t let him manipulate the child. In the meantime at the pub Leonardo is also thinking about his family and he swears he’ll tame Beatriz. She’ll be his again. *Viewerville: yuck*


* In the hall Victoria asks Guzmáncito if Nikki has a boyfriend. At first he is reluctant to answer because he shouldn’t talk about her personal life, but later he admits that no, she isn’t seeing anyone.

* The cheerful Dances with Sunglasses arrives at the mansion and tells Vic and Arriaga that a miracle happened in the hospital: the doctors managed to cure his poor mother! Oh dear, this guy is such a big, adorable troll. Victoria and the Angel are very happy to hear the great news, José Ángel even hugs Dances and calls him brother. *Viewerville: aaawww* Victoria gives Arriaga a free day off and tells him to forget about her, about his job, about everything, and have a great night. She leaves with Salsero and the Angel thinks about how fortunate Dances is, he still has a mother. *Vieweville: double aaawww*


* Bea, who’s still worried to hell about her son, tells Cristina and Liliana about Leonardo’s newest dirty trick. She has to talk with him seriously for the sake of their child.

* Hot bodyguard is hot: the Angel takes a shower and he thinks cheerfully about his upcoming night with his wife.

* The Wicked Witch of the West and the Brave Little Painter meet in a restaurant to give us another product placement scene (“oh Odette, are you drinking Bailey’s?”) and to have another venom-filled-yet-sickeningly-sweet conversation about business. Because Odette wants to cooperate with Meta Imagen in a new campaign. Victoria laughs and tells the Witch that she’ll trust her when the hell freezes over: she stole one of her secretaries, she almost sabotaged their contract with Kendra, and she sent yogurt to the employees of Meta Imagen… so to sum it up: bitch, please. But since they are big girls, they don’t scratch out each other’s eyes, instead they have a toast. One of the waiters brings a bouquet of roses with a note to Victoria. In the meantime José Ángel finds Kendra’s letter in his bedroom and both smile and flush when they read the same words: “Let’s enjoy these hours together, we deserve a special night, only you and me. Turn off your phone, no calls, no excuses, no tactics, no strategy.” Gawd, Kendra, you watched to many telenovelas.


* Beatriz calls Leonardo and tries to talk some sense into him. They agree to meet in the bar where they used to date.

 * At Kendra’s the Furminator goes into full “I’m mad about you but don’t you ever endanger my marriage” mode. But as usual, after a few sweet words, a kiss and some purring she wraps him around her little finger.

* The excited and giggly Victoria arrives at the hotel room where she finds a sexy lingerie on the bed and a wide supply of massage oils and XXX movies on the TV shelf. She calls Tomasina and tells her everything, because why not, and she decides to come up with a surprise for Nelson.

* While Paula is crying over and old photo of her and her abandoned son, Francisco is also looking at a pretty photo of his hated mother, and he’s brooding and weeping so hard that even Nikki senses there’s something wrong with the Force… so she sneaks into the room and hugs the crying man. *Viewerville: aaawww again* Nikki wants to help Francisco but he sends her away, and as usual, they end up fighting.


* In the meantime Paula jumps into poor, unsuspecting Cristina’s arms crying that she can’t take more, she just can’t. Now it’s Chrissie’s turn to play the therapist and to give her some moral support. And since Cristina is a woman of action, she thinks they should look for Paula’s son. Where does he live? And she should ask Aníbal for alimony, after all, they lived together for twenty years. But Paula only wanted his love, not his money, so no alimony, and now she has to learn how to live without him.


* Big Angel arrives at the hotel with a glass of champagne and inside he finds something awesome: roses and big hearts everywhere, and a woman dancing behind a screen. The only thing he doesn’t notice is the hidden camera that records everything that happen in that suite.

* There’s a scene with Nelson and Kendra in which she tells him she fell in love with him but we don’t really care about them, do we. Let’s get back to the dancing Victoria and the excited and horny Arriaga, who suddenly turns into a carefree teenager: he gets rid of his clothes, jumps on the table (it’s a miracle it didn’t collapse, I mean, come on, Big Ed is a heavy guy), eats some fruits, sings, dances, smears the fruit on his face *Viewerville: WTF?*, and dances, dances, dances until he can’t take more and asks “Cristina” to let her hair down. And this is the moment when Victoria gets a small heart attack and starts screaming: ARRIAGA???!!!

If you’re interested, here’s the striptease scene from the Colombian version with Alejandra Borrero (Paz) and Ernesto Calzadilla (Aguirre). As I said before, in the original story she’s supposed to be older than her bodyguard.

Beware, it’s not safe for work, bare male butt alert. :)
 

Was this made for American audiences? I mean when I heard that riff - Flashdance "He's A Dream" I laughed 'til I cried. Vikki has got some moves and Arriaga was so funny! Can't wait for tonights episode!
 

Aribeth- can't wait for your always marvelous recap and this scene was very funny. I was laughing so hard when they found out it was them and not Nell-son and Cris. lol.
 

All I can say is Erica B is one brave woman, and a great dancer. I was laughing so hard, I was afraid the neighbors would come knock on my door to find out what was happening. LOL!
 

I still can't stop laughing. When Vickie yelled "Arriaga?!!!", I totally lost it.
 

LOL!!!!!!!!!!! I don't watch this show, but I HAD to see that!!!! Thanks for posting.

The funniest one I've ever seen is on YouTube under: Hilarious Strip Tease. Wish I knew how to do a link, sorry.
 

I think Big Ed has it written into his telenovela contracts to show as much skin as possible. This "striptease" was so funny. Both Erika and Big Ed are in it for the full effect. They have wonderful chemistry. I just hope the writing doesn't throw them in peril too much. I love watching them both!
Kendho and Nelson - not so much. Ugh!
SFChicaBonita
 

I agree with everyone that was a great scene last night---but no matter how innocent it was, it's all caught on camera. BIG trouble ahead.

Can't wait for the recap to find out what Nikki said to Guzmancito in his moment of sorrow.
the gringo
 

Aribeth--Thanks for the clip. That Victoria didn't look that old. The Arriaga character looked pretty guapo too.

The scene last night kinda reminded me of LVO when Juan Jose and Ale went to the hotel :)
 

I'm not a regular of this TN, because Yanez is my least favorite actor (always the big, dumb and child-like), but I catch parts before AB comes on. Last night I was SO embarrassed for these people! That was seriously the most horrific scene with Vicki dancing behind the screen. First, the person dancing was way thinner than the real actress. Why would should have put her hair into a tiny ponytail? The song choice?? OMG - I just wanted to cry with laughter. When the screen fell, the lingerie that Vicki had on was not even the same lingerie that was left for her on the bed! Seriously, embarrassing - and I can't believe we'll have to see it again tonight in "lo del pasado".
 

I was laughing over that scene, too. Que horror! Even the incidental music was telling us it was supposed to be comical. With the hidden camera catching it all, it should be a fine mess.

I had to keep my beanie hat on because, seriously, if JA had thought thru the invite to the hotel, HOW would Cris have known he got off work early?
 

Anon no. 371:

I was embarrassed for them too because this striptease scene was supposed to be less ridiculous and moooore steamy but in the meantime I found it amusing. I say it's still better than that infamous pulp scene from CS09. :)

I think that was Erika. First, there was an interview with her a few weeks ago and she said she never wanted to use body doubles in her nude/semi nude/steamy scenes. Second, we only see the silhouette of a woman - the camera angle, the lights and the shadows can create strange illusions.

In the 80's and 90's Yanez played very different characters, in his biggest (and by big I mean HUGE) hits he was the broody, dangerous hero. In 2006, at age 46 his career miracculously resurrected thanks to these new, dumb-childlike characters and his newfound comedy skills. I'm sure his acting is boring/annoying for many viewers, but let's be real, 99% of the telenovela actors (including Silvia Navarro and Lety Calderón whom I like much) aren't that versatile: they have two or three characteristics they rely on, and they replay them over and over and over again. Nowadays Yanez makes money with the big baby characters, but I have a feeling he'll learn a few new tricks later when he'll be doomed to play villains and the father/uncle/grandfather of the hero.
 

Don't forget Yanez has played villains well in U.S. TV. Check out his guest role on CSI Miami.

I'm going to bet that's Erika behind the screen too. The body wasn't model thin and matched her healthy curves. The behind-the-screen dance moves were some of the same moves she had when Angel caught her dancing with abandon in her art studio. Only she really let loose this time, no doubt influenced by the XXX DVDs. My props to Vickie (Erika) - even though I'm in Cris's corner. :D
 

Can someone fix the recap feed for Amor Bravio? I can't even access any recaps at all. It's messed up.
 

Airbeth--Can't wait. Love the picture. I pretty much thought it was unreal (not Ms.Vikk) and anguished by how long it was going on...and recorded..and found I was amused enough to giggle.

I found so much more pathos in Guzzy's scene with Nothing-There-Nikki.

Have you all noticed that both Guzmancito and Big Angel take showers and give themselves a good rub-down, but don't use any soap? Wouldn't this be a great place for a product placement? I love foam and bubbles.

gringo--In essence, Nikki was genuinely reaching out to Guzzy in one of her best scenes as an emerging empathetic woman-child. She kept wanting to know what the matter was; she was there for him. He in turn, was behaving like a hurt, angry child, sort of like Guillo who didn't want to be comforted and just wanted to wallow in his tears. He kept telling her to butt out, bug off and Liff Mi Alonnnne. When she saw the picture, I bet anything she thought it was invisible wifey-pooh and not dead mommy-poo.

Airbeth--I keep forgetting you aren't even on this continent. What a universal community this is.
 

CathyX- I just tried accessing it and it works fine. Mena hasn't posted her recap yet.
 

Madelaine, can you try by not being logged in as a recapper? That may make a difference.
 

Ok, I will try that Cathy X.
 

It works for me, too, CathyX. One of the problems I have is that whenever an episode is updated, it gets out of place, forever. So, we see that #92 is out of sequence. That's another reason for us recappers to put the number of the episode in the title line. Date of episode helps, too.
Anita
 

CathyX- I just tried it and it still works fine. Are you using a device like a phone or maybe Chrome? Sometimes those mess up trying to access the feed.

Madelaine
 

It's not a sequence problem, it's a code text kind of problem.
 

Madelaine--are you expecting Spring early this year? Love your yellow tulips. Better give them to Natalia, she needs them.
 

I am on Chrome, usually I'm on Firefox, but I switched because Chrome is faster right now. I'll switch to Firefox and see if that makes a difference.
 

Anita- lol. I finally learned how to put an avatar up. My daughter showed me this morning. I love those tulips, but will put up a different pic soon.
 

It is a Chrome problem. I just used Firefox and it's normal. Weird.
 

CathyX- Melinama has a note on the sideboard about Chrome and having problems accessing the feeds. It's Chrome's fault not the blogs.
 

Thanks for checking for me Madelaine.
 

CathyX- You are most welcome :)
 

why oh why will i have to start my recap tonight with a retelling of... eh.... THAT... hopefully if that is the case they will go back far enough to cover the sweet hug from NickyBrat and RoboHunkWithTheBlues
 

All righty, the recap is up.

Marta, I feel for you. But don't worry, there will be enough great, not embarassing scenes tomorrow.

My question is: where is our beloved Diana? I haven't seen her for ages.
 

Aribeth,

Love your title and all of the funny, detailed recap. Thanks for the link. I think Erika's dance was better, but I must say that the guy in the previous TN was most attractive and very trim all around, and his portfolio contained significant assets.

Thanks for the history of EY. I first saw him in LVO and then in
DA, so I don't know him any other way.

Really like how Tomasina is on to Kendra's phoniness.

Teresa viewers will remember S. Rulli's major drunken scene which I think is one of the best I have seen. Don't know how much chance he will have to demonstrate passion or rage in this TN.

Thanks again to all recappers and commenters.
 

OMG Aribeth, the title of today's recap wins the prize! LOL!
And a perfectly snarky hysterically funny recap to match!!!

And . . . thank you to the youtube link. even more LOL! Thank you Aribeth.


OOOOOh! a shower scene! Thank you, Telerisa.
 

Great recap, Aribeth, and of course the photos are such a treat.

I'm not sure that Beatriz was using very good judgment in agreeing to meet Leo in such a romantic spot and then prettifying herself as well. If anyone is going to draw a wrong conclusion it's this lunk.

After missing a couple of episodes... the Bailey's is back! I have yet to see anyone actually take a sip, however. They pour it into coffee, pour it over ice, swirl it with ice, admire it, praise it, and gesture with it... but has anyone actually seen anyone actually drink the stuff?

Is there anyone not feeling the chemistry between Nikki and Frankie? Enough of this bulemia stuff, I want to see these two enjoy some good food together.

And plis, plis, plis bring back el Turco...OK? I love that actor.

Carlos
 

Loved seeing the big guy showing off his moves. When he ran out of moves , he resorted to the Charleston. Was that really the actress dancing behind the screen ?
 

Aribeth, what a wonderful, funny recap. Loved your description of that dance with Arriaga and Ms Vikki, maybe Arriaga smeared the fruit on his face so when Ms Vikki, er Cris kissed the sweet face she would really like it, lol. Those two are so funny. How embarrassing too! The poor things looked so guilty and they were so set up by Kendho.

Speaking of Kendho, can't stand her and Nellson and when he wondered who Puchi's was I was cracking up, too funny. He has a nerve.

Best scene of course was Nikki and Guzmi, that poor guy's heart is breaking. She was so sweet to Guzmi and that hug was just precious. He needs to confide in someone. Maybe not Nikki but the Angel.

Leo has got to go already. Poor Bea,and did Lili call her Betty? I like that nickname for Bea.
 

Aribeth - Terrific recap of a crazy episode. The title pitch perfect.

I think Arriaga planned for Cris to lick the fruit off his face. If the censors had allowed, he probably would've smeared the fruit all over.

Hope Vickie realizes this must have been an inside job. Who knows beyond a few in her household that Nelson is jealous of Arriaga? Isn't
it too much a coincidink that the note arrived when she was with Odiodette?

Also hope Tomasina tells Vickie she saw KendHo in the bodyguards' quarters.
 

Thanks for the recap Madeline. Loved it and all the pics too. Much appreciated.

Well of course I loved the wonderful ending with Vicki and Angel and the falling screen. But I also had to notice the true confessions of Nill-son and Vicki. Nill-son confessed to Anibal that he has had many affairs. Kendra-Ho isn't the first. Vicki confessed that Nikki has an eating disorder. Duh Vicki. You don't just take her to a nutritionist, but you insist that she work with a psychologist. This is a deep, emotional issue that takes time to heal. Vicki, I'm waiting for you to get this.

And I loved "Quien es Puchis?"
 

Dona Gringuita-- I can't take credit for this marvelous recap. This was Aribeth's :)
 

Aribeth- Just before Christmas Diana said she would be gone for a couple of weeks. She'll probably be back next week. I miss her muchly too.
 

Dona Gringuita- Ms Vikki DOESN'T know that Nikki has an eating disorder. She took Vikki to a nutrisonist who said that Nikki had anemia. The only one that knows Nikki HAS a eating disorder is Guzmi. He hasn't told Ms Vikki or anyone else. Guzmi is trying to help her but she won't listen. He suggested the pyscologist who dealt in these disorders.
