Amor Bravío #138 (Uni 133) Mon 3/4/13
Labels: bravio
In total the loss is one quarter of the herd and she thinks they can save the rest and recover." I didn't catch that and am glad to have some sense of the facts in this matter. I thought the count had gone to 72, quite a lot, but if it's really only one fourth, then I suppose, they might not completely go under.
And..."Augustina sits up reading, wearing a nightgown she may have gotten as a hand-me-down from Edith Bunker." Cracked me up. I knew I had seen that gown somewhere. But isn't our Augie getting feisty these days! Hurray.

ITA about Pablo. That boy is loyal and very strong willed. I loved how he said that this (making love) needs to a special moment for the both of them. I really hope Luzma can get past the trauma. How awful to have Leoncerdo pop into your head when you’re being kissed by a cutie like Pablo. Blech!
We have the answer about the vaccines—there is a human one and an animal one. Camila better inject herself, and Vivi, as soon as it arrives! Actually, maybe EVRYONE (except Dio).
One correction- Yago didn’t say that Nat could lose the baby (although he probably wishes). He was bummed that the kid could cause them to lose out on their fabulous honeymoon. Amanda was mighty bugged that he would put his selfish needs ahead of the baby’s well-being. As she should be. Natalia is lucky to have so many people looking out for her (Amanda, Becerra, Rod, Padre), but what good is it if she’s not willing to open her eyes to the truth about Yago and Dio?
I was delighted to see Hissadora behind bars. Like you, I was afraid that she was going to pull some kind of move on the officer who unlocked her handcuffs and escape. I'm normally appalled at the Mexican justice system that assumes someone is guilty until proven innocent, but tonight I applauded it!
I agree with you about the probable significance of Hissadora's purse. I kept hoping that Cayetano would open it and find the "love drops" she's been putting in his drinks. Indeed, I'm still hoping that will happen.
Your remark about Agustina wearing a hand-me-down nightgown from Edith Bunker cracked me up. I was also glad to see Agustina talking back to Dio. However, I'm still very apprehensive about whether she'll make it to the end of the TN.
Damn New Girl! I kept wondering what she was doing in this TN. I'm beginning to fear that she's the one truly stale, stereotypic element in the plot: the Other Woman, the seductress who has her sights/claws on Pablo. I hope I'm wrong. The writers have done a very impressive job of avoiding most TN cliches, so perhaps New Girl will play a different role, but it sure didn't seem that way tonight.
Agnes - yes, Gussy is getting quite feisty and to the right person now too. I just hope he doesn't harm her as he will be getting desperate.
Vivi - poor Luzma. She just has to get some counseling very quickly. The writers have made Pablo one of the best galans ever. He has rebuffed all NG's moves and he's quick to do so as well not like these galans whose lips happen to get stuck on the villainess.
Did anyone else notice the people taking pictures of Isa getting arrested? That was hilarious.
And though there did seem to be some chemistry between Mariano and Miriam, I think the chemistry between her and Dante is considerably stronger. In view of this and the clearing-the-air talk between Ana and Teresa, it looks as if Teresa's going to get her wish, even if Mariano doesn't share her enthusiasm.
Now, for some other thoughts:
- Dammit, Cami! Stop giving Mariano false hopes!
- Poor Luzma! Reliving the trauma again!
- Darn it, Natalia! How could u STILL be in love with that jerk???
- C'mon, Vivi! Just dump Rafa already!
- HOORAY! Finally, Gussie's talking back at her husband!
- & OH NO! Hiss...adora's gone to jail! :O

I too, knew that Amor Bravio's days were numbered.
I loved the references to Hissadora. That dress did not do her justice. Mayalen is working my nerves, yes, let's throw her to Iago who would return her subtle advances.Yay- Pablo for brushing her off, you were raised right. I also loved the reference to Hissadora's arrest as the frogmarch. I can't stop laughing. I really hope that she rots in jail. Maybe she can meet up with Leonicio. What a reunion.
Poor Luzma and Pablo, she may need professional help.
It still amazes me that there doesn't seem to be a public issue with the idea of anyone taking over a ranch the size of La Malquerida and turning it into a tourist trap in the middle of an area that may not welcome it. Whether it's meant to be turned into a spa, a casino, or a theme park is irrelevant; the other ranchers in the area can't like this very much and the nearby town may not have the resources to support this. Also, while this might sound economically advantageous for the locals it would fundamentally change the character of the area... which they might not want.
Luzma definitely needs to see the shrink more frequently. Natalia probably needs one for being so desperate for male approval she would marry a jerk who is being pressured by a criminal.
If she hadn't told Mariano right then, he would have just heard it from Pablo later that evening at PabLuz's house.
In PabLuz's house, Nana gets to sit at the table. She never sat with the family at Casa Albarran. Mariano was surprised to see her sitting there, and she said it's the way Luzma wanted it. Pablo and Luzma looked so cute being all adult-like and heading up their little family.
Did you notice that after Cami had showered and changed into the dark blue top, when she was talking to Mariano in the cabin, she was wearing Dan's Virgin medallion again, along with her bull's head necklace? It might be just because she's praying really hard right now for Dan to pull through. But we all know it has a lot more than religious significance to her since it was her proposal/engagement necklace.
One small item: I could have sworn that the episode ended and avances began with Ultimos Capitulos. I noted it, because we seem to be missing the Ultimas Semanas. Not sure that it matters a bit, but here we are so close to the end.
The moment that pobre de Luzma emerged in her pretty white robe from the bathroom of the master bedroom I feared that memories of that pig of an uncle would get in the way. Yes, more shrink time. It reminded me of El Manantial, when Adela Noriega was raped and eventually was able to establish a "normal" life with Mauricio Islas. Viewerville breathed a sigh of relief.
Iago is a terrible human being and bad husband material, but I did enjoy watching his face while Isadora was going through her resistance to arrest in that ugly patterned dress.
BTW, I think they chop up the reruns currently on UniMas. I've been watching two of them and I think they have edited down AMF because they're already almost at episode 90.

Cam can't help it if Mariano is making "una pelicula en su cabeza" -- she has no control over what he feels or doesn't; she's been clear more than once with Mariano about their relationship.
I maintain my firm trust in Pablo - he's just not that type of man.
Perhaps NG is around to become friends with Luzma not to seduce Pablo after all.
Lots of red herring in AB.
Myo-
If this were 40 episodes ago I would think that Rocio had hired her to distract Pablo from Luzma, but then what was Ileana supposed to do?
I think she's meant to demonstrate to us that Pablo is a steadfast, solid, loyal guy. She is also possibly a future sacrificial lamb.
"Awkward moment that Mayela appears to relish..."
and
"...he exits, leaving her looking a little annoyed."
Maybe I should be paying closer attention to her, but so far her only crime seems to have been the offer of a back rub.
Thanks to Isadora and that dress for awakening a dormant adolescent fantasy...I wonder if she could teach algebra?
Agustina was absolutely wonderful last night. I liked her nighty though it didn't awaken any adolescent fantasies.
Carlos
Vivi already emotionally betrayed him/did not include him in planning the adoption yet he is still open to being with her. But her terms are ridiculous. It's all about her and her needs, 24/7.
Vivi is so locked up in herself emotionally, an honest adult relationship isn't possible for her.
I too missed the part about 1/4 of the herd being affected thanks for clearing that up.
Hats off to Agustina! She was great, although garbed in Edith Bunker's hand-me-down....LOL.
Yes, I thought NG was looking pretty miffed.
I really hope the contents of Isadora's bag are revealed. Such a pleasure to see her hauled off to el carcel:)
I was afraid of that with pobre Luzma. Pablo is so sweet, patient & wonderful, + guapo. He is more like Mariano than either of his padres.
Ah, Cayetano has Iza's purse, I bet he finds the toloache drops. Aggie saw the light, maybe he will too.
During LQNPA when Rogelio got into the dairy business I estimated he needed at least 500 cows to be able to commit to contract he made for milk delivery.
I totally agree that Pablo is more like Mariano. I'll bet Mariano was the ultimate older brother back in the day.
“Don Vicente sings, so all should be well”
“[Pobrecito Rodolfo, but don't you know that stupid women usually have stupid children? But I guess you don't read The Wall Street Journal.]”
They skipped Ultimas Semanas and went straight to Ultimas Capitulos (I see others caught that, too).
Did you notice how Rafa called Vivi “mi amor” when he answered the phone?
I’m loving Dorotea and Eleutario’s scenes—they are so cute together.
Luz and Pablo. Knew that was coming I have to say I was surprised when she was able to be touched and kissed by Pablo soon after the rape.
I hope this isn’t the end of Isa. I’d rather they get Dio before getting Isa. She’s such a delicious villain.
Karen: “Juanita - I'm hoping NG can lure the other brother as we know Iago is in heat anyway.”—me too. I can’t imagine this late in the game that Pablo would suddenly turn into a jerk, but in Luz’s fragile state, she might misinterpret something.
Not a Dan Fan: I know who you don’t like ☺, but who’s your favorite character? Mine is Luz. I’ve seen three other TNs. Jacinto was my fav in (MEPS) and I still love seeing the actor (who plays Padre A) in anything. He’s actually turned up in STuD and CME. Benita was my fav from STuD and Gabi in CME.
UA: I think the tourist idea for the area is probably a beanie moment.
Vivi: “Did you notice that after Cami had showered and changed into the dark blue top, when she was talking to Mariano in the cabin, she was wearing Dan's Virgin medallion again, along with her bull's head necklace?”—no, but it’s very significant.
Carlos: I have to say I kinda liked Agustina’s nighty, too. I was surprised it was sleeveless. As for NG, she did touch Pablo last night. Very inappropriate on a few levels, including the fact that he’s her boss.
I wonder if Mariano had done more to raise his younger brother than just the normal older brother thing.
Fatima: Last time I bug you, I promise. But please feel free to e-mail me if you want to discuss the TN off site. Miss your input.

If the ranch is saved, what is going to be the big drama that takes us through to the real ultimas capitulos?
I was surprised that Aggie didn't wonder more about Dion's reaction to the vaccine. His negative reaction should have raised huge red flags for her. No one would have reacted negatively to that news.
Poor Pablo, he's waited so long for this moment to finally do it with his girlfriend/fiance/wife, and he will have to wait some more. That boy is a saint.
Loved loved loved Yago's smile when they arrested Isa. I laughed out loud when I saw that.
Right now, the Viv/Rafa scenes are a fast forward until Viv sees the light. Then I'll watch.
Caye will have to be the one to look in Isa's purse and see the drops and phone calls. He wouldn't believe anyone else. Couple that with more evidence of Alonso's death, and he might just start believing.
And of course, we have the personal dramas to resolve—the Cam-Dan-Mir triangle; Luzma and Pablo; Vivi and Rafa; Yago, Nat and her mafia papa Dio; and on a lesser scale, Mariano, Teresa, and Dante.
Agustina's involvement in the fraud still has to be revealed, but that just doesn't seem to me like a big enough drama--especially after the emotionally draining ranch tragedy.
And I think that the insurance scam will be big. Aggie will go to jail over that. Dion will deny knowing it was a scam, but by then, Aggie may be convinced that he's a scam artist.
Myo-
And the stuff Vivi said ;)
Hope you didn't really mean it about not posting. The criticism wasn't directed at you. It helps to develop a thick skin in the blog world. Pls come back, you had some good input.
Enjoyed all the commentary. Fatima, hope you pipe in too.
Traveling lady - “Iago is a terrible human being and bad husband material, but I did enjoy watching his face while Isadora was going through her resistance to arrest in that ugly patterned dress.” ITA. Watching Iago’s face made Isadora’s arrest even more fun.
Love Luzma and Pablo as a couple. Those two can express so much with few words.
Ann-NYC
I agree with Anonymous that it's all about Vivi. She wanted to adopt Roman and never gave a thought to how Rafa felt about it. Maybe down deep inside, she really doesn't care.

I don't know what to say, but that I am totally floored at the kind comments many of you have directed towards me. At first, I didn't understand Nanette's comment this evening, so went back to previous posts.
Please, you must absolutely know that I am not someone who runs off and then hopes someone will beg me to do something. Gosh...that is not me. I was brought up to never pull a stunt like that or more than my hand would have been slapped!
I don't "do" Facebook and honestly don't post online anywhere. I was thrilled when I found this place that would help me with my Spanish, so it was a huge move for me to post here.
Your kind words have meant a great deal. I don't think I can thank you enough. I don't have insight into these stories like many of you, but I'm just floored at your kind words.
Thank you!!!
Fatima :)
