Amores Verdaderos #72 Tue 2/19/13 Happy Birthday to you . . . well not so much
"Come on, Angelito, when are you going to put out?" "SOMEONE, PLEASE SAVE ME!!!!" This is when we need a super-jealous Christina to show up and put Jocelyn in her place! |
Recap is finished and all screencaps are up!
OVERVIEW: (some details may be condensed and events may not be listed in order)
REFRIED: Big Angel ain't having none of his mujer working for that zorra Kendra-Ho. He drags her to another room to chat. Meanwhile, Salsa-Dude asks Kendra-ho what her plan is. It's to drive a wedge between Big Angel and his wife, thus speeding up Big Angel's and Vicki's inevitable (in Kendra-ho's opinion) affair. Salsa-Dude looks dubious.
Adriana confronting doctor who is in Anibal's pocket. He just repeats the party line, her baby is dead. She doesn't believe him.
THE NEW:
* Poor Big Angel cannot stop his wife from working for the scheming ho, Kendra. She doesn't get what is so bad with Kendra-Ho, if she was a co-star on the ad. Big Angel sputters and hesitates telling Chris the truth—that Kendra-Ho is boinking the Furry Fornicator. Chris continues to argue, and brings up how it's somehow okay for Big Angel to be cheek-to-jowl with Vicki everyday! Unfortunately Big Angel doesn't get to explain his true objections to Kendra, because Vicki wanders in to screw everything up. Then Kendra comes in to screw things up even more, by repeating her job offer. Oblivious Vicki thinks it's a 'great idea'! Woo hoo. Big Angel quietly glowers.
The BIGGEST lipstick smacky mark I've ever seen on a man's cheek. |
Chris dressed as Elvira. (No, not me! Elvira the Mistress of the Dark.) |
* Adriana gets all in-your-face with the bribed doctor, and threatens to "out" him in court for separating her from her baby. He looks scared.
* More with poor Big Angel being overruled and outnumbered by three women. He tries—oh how he tries—to explain without explaining, that Chris working for Kendra-ho is a bad idea. Vicki thinks that he's just being a typical chauvinist male who wants to keep wifey home, barefoot and pregnant. He sees it is hopeless. Three against one! You can see it written all over his face as Kendra-Ho triumphantly gives Chris her number and all the wheels are set in motion.
Three women look at him as if he is some Neanderthal knuckle-dragging sexist pig. What is he to do? |
Kendra-Ho wins! She's giving Chris her info so Chris can start working for her. Big Angel is like WHAT. EVER. |
* Anibal is congratulating Vicki on the successful ad campaign. The bribed doctor calls Anibal up, all in a tizzy over Adriana's threats. Anibal will see him. He spins some excuse for Vicki for going, saying he's got business to take care of. She offers to take care of it, but he says, no, it's your birthday. Then Vicki says something that I'll BOLD because it's so obviously meant to be forecasting something to Viewerville: Vicki says, "My father can be so considerate to me. Why doesn't he treat Adriana the same way, if she is also his daughter?" Why, why indeed?!?!
* Big Angel is perhaps able to make a dent in Chris's resolve to work for Kendra-Ho. He says he doesn't trust Kendra-ho, but he'll support Chris in whatever she decides. But please, think about it . . . she hugs him and says this is why she loves him so much.
* Polita asks Jean Marie if he's sure that the object of his affection, Estefano, is batting for the same team. Jean Marie pretty much says that his gaydar does not fail. (Jean Marie adds that it's possible that Estefano may not realize what team he bats for yet.) Polita advises him to be cautious, make sure that Estefano is on the same page (so to speak). As well as, better consider the feelings of Ms. Odioette. Jean Marie agrees—Odioette may not approve of him as a "son-in-law"!
Yeah, there may be a teensy dust-up when Odioette finds out! |
* Bea having a touching mom-daughter chat with Paula at work. Paula will support her and Guillo in any way. Paula invites Bea and Guillo over that evening. They discuss child-care details, and Paula agrees to pick up Guillo from wherever that evening.
* Little Gorilla brings a tray of food for a seriously sulking Nikki. She blames him for all her woes. Yes, he's still going to tell her mom about her bulimia. She comes out to the hall to talk to him, then suddenly shoves the tray over, spilling its contents all over him and the floor. Little Gorilla is impactado and furious.
A Little Gorilla with a food tray. |
That didn't end well. |
* Anibal meets with bribed doctor and doctor names his price to get out of the country. It's a high price; Anibal will have to make some bank transactions. Meanwhile, Vicki and Adriana are chatting. Adriana is saying that surely Anibal has bribed the doctor. (No sh*t Sherlock!)
* Everyone has congregated at the Balvanera house for Vicki's surprise birthday party. Kendra-Ho is there. Odioette is there will her perhaps-closeted son, Estefano. Odioette makes some snarky remark to Anibal. Vicki's friends Doris (non-slutty) and Jocelyn (slutty) arrive. We get to meet Doris's husband, who seems okay.
* Kendra is a guest at the party. Some tense words between her and FF. She had to come because Nikki invited her, she claims.
* Vicki and her bodyguard Big Angel arrive home, to a dark house. They're a bit freaked out at first. Then SURPRISE! And Vicki has to play along with hubby Furry Fornicator's big show. He presents her with an expensive necklace. Kendra-Ho looks jealous. All she got was a ring! Boo hoo.
SURPRISE! Yay. These two are thrilled beyond measure. |
* The Birthday Party from Hell. Now it's Big Angel's turn to feel uncomfy as he sees the Furry Fornicator slobber all over his wife, Vicki, in front of a houseful of birthday party guests. FF is hoping for a reconciliation. Vicki plays along but privately she isn't warming to FF that much.
Vicki endures FF's yukky kiss. Notice Kendra's expression in the background. |
"Yeah, whatever" is basically Big Angel's reaction to FF's big show. He won't forget what a sleaze the FF is. |
* Salsa-Dude is delivering Bea to her home. Mentions that Big Angel's family lives here, what a coincidence! They exchange puppy-dog looks but no physical contact. Salsa-Dude (Oh He With the Unfortunate Bangs) smiles his brilliant puppydog looks at Bea. I don't care if his bangs are unfortunate, I am on Team Salsa-Dude! (Well, until/unless he really does something past the point of no return.)
The bangs are ruffled up here and don't look too unfortunate. |
Leo the Low. |
Such a macho man—threatening some women! |
Leo the Low is so scary that he has poor Bea and Paula clinging to each other for support. |
* More at the Party from Hell. Also: Vicki contemplates the big gaudy necklace FF gave her. She's not inclined to get back together with him. Meanwhile, FF and Anibal are thinking that women will forgive infidelity if given enough pretty gifts and if enough groveling is done. Pigs.
* Chris is telling Lily about her job offer. Can't figure out why Big Angel doesn't approve of Kendra-Ho. Mother and daughter talk a little more about Guzmancito's supposed marriage status. They think he made the whole thing up to get Polita off his back. (You keep telling yourselves that, sisters!)
* Poor Big Angel is accosted and harassed in the most shameless way possible by an insanely horny Jocelyn, who is violently determined to have a taste of this tempting piece of man candy. Furry Fornicator "catches" them (aka poor Big Angel being harassed) and acts all high and mighty, as if Big Angel did something wrong. He orders Big Angel to the kitchen. Big Angel fusses in the kitchen and messes up something poor Jean Marie is cooking.
Harassed and dragged around by the tie! Pobre Big Angel. |
* It does seem like Jean Marie's gaydar is excelente, because at the party, he and Estefano exchange smiling, meaningful glances. Odioette doesn't seem to notice this. When one of Vicki's friends asks Estefano when he's going to get married, he gives the standard line about how he "hasn't met the right person yet." Jocelyn makes a really snarky remark about how if he delays too long, people might wonder if he's one of those "suspicious bachelors." Odioette doesn't like the sound of this at all. Denial is not just a river in Egypt, methinks.
Their eyes meet from across the room . . . |
Jean Marie's future galán? Viewerville thinks yes. |
* There are some weird vibes going on between Jocelyn and the Furry Fornicator. I need to rewatch, but I've been suspicious for a while that there's more of a history between these two.
* Nikki asks Doris (the non-slut friend of Vicki) if she could say hi to Doris's son when she sees him next. The son was THE only non-douchebag ex that Nikki ever had. Doris is happy to have Nikki see her son again. Methinks we may be seeing a new character introduced to this story pretty soon, and our Little Gorilla may have some competition!
* Nikki has a major setback when Vicki's two friends, Doris and Jocelyn, compliment her on her womanly, beautiful curves, saying it's so nice to see that she doesn't look like a skeleton. Unfortunately for Nikki, apparently looking like a skeleton is a plus, because she is very distraught by this. In her room, she wastefully devours two platterfuls of Jean Marie's carefully and lovingly prepared treats and then immediately vomits them all up. She has a meltdown and finally, in our finale, confesses that she's bulimic to her mom because she simply can't take it anymore. Finally the truth is out! Viewerville sighs. Poor Vicki is impactada.
Nikki melts down completely and Vicki is impactada. Better that you learn sooner rather than later, Vicki! |
AVANCES: I can't recall what they are right now, but I do remember that they are MUST SEE TV!!!!
Labels: Amores
My favorite lines so far ar
Denial is just not a river in Egypt, methinks.
That Angel is a tempting piece of man candy, lol.
I hated Furry Fornicator yelling at the Angel and also Anyballs and FF being so buddy buddy, yuck for the both of them.
Hate, Hate, HATE, Leo the Low, did I say how much I HATE him??? I hated the way he threatened and intimated both Betty and PauToo. I hope Betty tells Guzmi, her bro, and also Dances, can't wait for Leo's beatdown.
So FF thinks he's got Ms Vikki right where he wants her. I wouldn't bet on it. Did she wear that necklace he gave her?
Finally Nikki comes clean. I am so glad her Mama knows now.
I too had a feeling that Josie and FF had had a fling maybe in the past. Hmmmm.
Doris' son Roy is Nikki's ex evidently, and I too think he will show up at some point. Guzmi better get that divorce sooner, rather than later, if he really wants Nikki.
Can't wait for your recap Elvira and your always fab screencaps.
Looking forward to the recap, Elvira. You never fail to make me laugh.
So many favorites: "accosted and harassed in the most shameless way possible", "his gaydar does not fail" and "taste of this tempting piece of man candy" had me smiling away.
Leo's contorted facial expressions, hateful spewings, his body quivering with fury were frightening. For a moment, I couldn't remember if I was really watching a character in AV or an orc in LOTR.
Hoping that Francisco and Salsero will team up against Leo. I think it's going to take a village to defeat Leo who in addition to superhuman strength (and anger) seems also to be tettering on the edge of insanity. Ack.
Madelaine, I think Vicky did put Nelson's necklace on but no one has seen it as she ran to Nikki. At last the truth is out. Now, hopefully Nikki will get the help she so desperately needs.
I thought Josie just had Nelson's number (takes one to know one)...but after your comments Elvira and Madelaine, I'm sure you are right that there is history there. Josie certainly doesn't respect the fact JA is married, why should she care that Nelson is either - even if it is to her best friend??
So, "Happy Birthday to you...well not so much" was certainly the perfect title for this less than stellar day for Vikki.
When watching Nelson kiss Vicky (what a side show), I thought Angel's look held more disgust for Nelson than actual jealousy, but there was definitely a tinge there.
So where is poor Guillo?
Diana
Susanlynn, you and your family are in my prayers. What a terrible situation - God bless you, your daughter and grandchildren. From your previous posts, I know it's difficult for you to watch. I do love reading your comments though -"She was probably the original KendrHO in Fluffy's miserable life". Most excellent!
Diana
Susanlynn- I don't even know anyone who has gone through this situation and I found the Leo scene too hard to watch. I had to leave the room at one point. But aside from the fear and physical intimidation, I wonder how Leo can have a case in court? He has no proof of infidelity (getting a ride to her mom's house from her co-worker does not equal infidelity), she has witnesses for his angry outbursts (her dad, mom, brother and coworkers), she has people who saw her bruised up, she has a good job, and she's the mom and mother's get first priority with child custody in Mexico. It’s time for her to see an attorney and to file harassment/abuse charges with the police.
I am SOOO happy that Vicky finally knows about Nicky. Hopefully, since she’s dealing with this issue, Vicky won’t go back downstairs and that hideous party will be broken up. FF doesn’t get to show off his gift to Vicky, horny Joclyn will have to go home, and so will those witches with a ‘b’, Kendho and Odioette. The only bad thing will be we won’t get to see any more furtive glances between Estefano and Jean Marie.
Diana- Leo=Orc. Perfect. He certainly is beastly.
Diana: Thanks, I wasn't sure if she had put it on or not, had to leave the room for a sec. I am just hoping that Ms Vikki and FF don't stay together. Loved the avances where Ms Vikki slaps the crap outta FF.
The truly bizarre thIng about this whole skinny model thing Nikki has is that she has not noticed that Kendra is nowhere near skinny. That girl has a very healthy body and hasn't starved at all.
I'm so relieved that Nikki has broken thru her denial and told Vikki. Now lets hope that Vikki won't negate it.
susanlynn - I hope your daughter is going to Alanon and finding strength, hope, and knowledge that she is not alone in her situation.
Where WAS Guillo?
I too am wondering if Jocelyn and Nelson had a thing. She was so delighted to needle Nelson about Angel. Makes me think if they did have a thing that Nelson was the one who ended it.
I read uncomfy on Angel's face but not jealousy on the Nelson-Vickie kiss. For one thing, Angel knows it was only a front. My feeling was he felt sorry for her for having to fake it in front of her friends and family.
Leo is truly scary. ITA this is hard to watch. But the actor is doing a good job.
Yay, Jean Marie and Estefano have made contact.
Yay, in the advances Vickie double-slaps Nelson.
From what I learned of anorexia and bulimia from numerous health classes and living with people with eating disorders, the disease tends to warp people's perception of themselves. So Nikki could really believe that Kendho looks fine, while seeing herself as much more fat than she really is when she looks in the mirror. I'm glad she finally told her mother. Don't know how the friends could describe her as curvy, though.
Vicky looked SO unthrilled about that party. Nice try, Nelson.
I could barely even watch the Leo scenes. Ugh. He is losing it. Paula is useless. Why wasn't she calling the police?
Thanks to Julia as well for the reminder about the self-perception of those with eating disorders.
Vivi: Thanks amiga. I knew you would know for sure : )
Susanlynn---So sorry for your daughter. No one should have to go through something like that. Alcohol is a powerful enemy--prayers for your daughter and children.
When Leo's beatdown comes, it will be great. I'm not a big fan of violence but this gut deserves the double punch--Salcero/Guzman.
I can't understand Spanish and so I don't know what was being said---
still, that scene was very hard to watch. I was afraid for Betty's safety. That guy could kill.
Elvira---I forgot. Your title is perfect, A big gold star for sure.
Josie and the Pussycat were on the prowl last night, well at least Josie was. Poor Angel can't get away. It's too bad that Christina wasn't around, that would have been some cat fight---my money would be on Chris.
Can't wait for the FF slapdown tonight. I thought that Vicky was starting to cave but after the preview, I guess not. Tonight should be good.
One last thing---Betty get a lawyer pronto.

Hope springs....That Bea doesn't turn out to be reduced to a puddle of tears and become a whining machine like her mother and settle for lifelong abuse.
Hope springs....That Vikki will get Nikki's skinny ass to a shrink yesterday and won't enable her any further.
For me the most sickening moment of the episode was Furry Fornicator and Anyballs in the testosterone pit gloating about how women will forgive their extra-marital bonking if men buy them enough stuff and suck up masterfully.
Just the thought of another character coming in and taking Nikki's attention away from Guzman makes me nervous.
They already have enough going on with their flapjack relationship, Guzman's marriage, and Nikki's bulimia/insecurities.
I'm sure it's going to make for an interesting change to the storyline, but poor Guzmancito I'm sure will get the worst end of it.
Still looking forward to what is to come though.
Team Nikki/Guzmancito
I can't be irritated by the crazy nimpho Jocelyn, she's just so much fun. She'd better never meet Cris, though I'm sure she would be able to convince Cristina that her crazy lust towards her husband is totally normal and acceptabe.
The scene with Neta Equis an Vicky was great, I like the chemistry between the actresses.
But my favourite is the moment when Jen Marie and Estefano met.
Thanks for another great Recap. Ya'll are AWESOME> I don't get closed captions anymore and sometimes miss points.
So glad Nikki just let it blurt out to mamacita Vikki. Yank that bandaid off the scab.
I'm in definite minority but I believe that Guzmancito is way to old for Nikki, and she needs to slow down on the growing up/modeling/fast life--could take a cue from Lilli
And Vikki has got to stop tempting poor angel. He is such a lovable dufus, walkin around with that big lipstick kiss on his cheek
Adios. Gracias a todos! Ron

Re: Antolin in La Fuerza del Destino: My guilty, guilty pleasure. I was so glad he was redeemed in the end!
the gringo
Was there really any reason that José Ángel had to be so nasty to Jean Marie? I didn't so much mind him snapping at him but then to mess up his pudding or whatever that was...
Carlos
My favorite screencap is the one with Josie yanking Angelcito by his tie and the one with the HUGE lipstick stain on his cheek, lol.
ITA that Betty and PauToo need to contact the police about leo the low and tell security in that building not to let him in. He is deranged and she seriously needs a restraining order. Also I agree with Vivi, just cause she got a ride home with a co-worker isn't proof she is seeing him. There are so many witnesses to leo yanking Betty around, she would get custody of Guillo in a heartbeat.
Also love the picks of Angel against Cris, Vickie, and KendraHo. That was a fun scene. Cute the way Angel diplomatically told the last two women to butt out of his bidness. And, lo and behold, Vickie and Cris actually exchanged a wink of solidarity.
I don't watch this show, but just saw your funny "_____ dressed as Elvira (no, not me)" caption and that reminded me that I've been meaning to tell you and Vivi that I went to a wedding shower and we were talking about names. Both the mom and dad have V's in their names, so they hoped to stick with that theme. I told them that on my blog there is a Vivi and an Elvira and by dang, they named the baby ELVIRA-VIVIANA and are calling her VIVI!
Rosemary la Otra
I really enjoy Jocelyn. She reminds me of several women I've met over the years...fun-loving...she appeared pleased that Nelson seemed jealous of her and JA. Maybe she meant more to Nelson than she had previously thought...hmmmm.
Susanlynn, if you have a moment to spare, click on this and scroll down...so what became of that Post-It-Note?
Carlos
Carlos, I read your comment in reply to my post about Guzman and his wife not being able to communicate because of his bad english and you said "Well if she were a valley girl", I'm a valley girl, and I like can so totally communicate because I'm like totally awesome that way, k?
Recap is all done, or as done as it's gonna get!
Susanlynn, I'll be definitely praying for your family. The more people pray, the better! That's how I feel about it anyway.

Slight correction Vivi, He caused Saul to have an accident which left him unable to walk for a while until his stepmother paid for his surgery. Fast forward to almost the end, He shot an killed Gordo in the forehead and shot Saul in his hand to let go of the gun , then shot both his kneecaps thus reinjuring his legs. He then left with Ivan's son after rescuing him from being kidnapped by Saul and Gordo. Much later, Saul committed suicide in prison by hanging himself.
BTW: Those of you who have never seen Eiza Gonzalez with curves and looking "healthy" check out this clip with pictures.

Here is the intro for Lola: Erase Una Vez.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_v3N3txTssk
This one is called Masoquismo
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0GJd-Y_G1Mw
She starred with some familiar people you guys know like Aaron Diaz, Violeta Isfel from Porque el Amor Manda, Atevete a Sonar,etc. Eddy Vilard from Amor Bravio, Zoraida Gomez from En Nombre del Amor, Grettel Valdez, Derrick James who I think is Nikki and Liliana's swimming coach. And others. I have followed Eiza's career since then and She can sing. Great looking young lady. :) She lost a lot of weight for her character Nikki who we all know is bulimic. I think Eiza has added some inches to her height even without the 6 inch heels. I do like her look in Loa better.

Two perhaps minority opinions to add:
1. Jocelyn, with her homophobic needling of Estéfano just moved from my Silly but Harmless list to my ... well to another list. Needless to say, I will be avoiding her table.
2. I know we have seen Jean Marie looking longingly at Estéfano. We have also seen Estéfano looking longingly at ... someone . Are we really sure it's Jean Marie. I'm not sure why but ...
It crossed my mind that Este may be in love with Vikki!
(This is probably so ridiculous that it is a good thing that I'm writing it too late for anyone to see it.) :-)
