PEAM # 79- 6/27/13-Una Familia Con Suerte Names A New Northern Regional Director At An Unusual Board Meeting
Labels: Manda
Thanks so much for this wonderful, fab recap! If you didn't watch UFCS this must have been hard for you. The characters are just the same.
If Alma and Chucho don't realize they are in love, everyone else does, I had to laugh at all the women flirting with Chucho. Cande is known for it! Maria Jose I like in this role, she is also the singer of the theme song for this TN.
I felt sorry for both Elias and Vero tonight. They actually were honest with each other for a change. This will be really sad for Val especially.
You were right about Marta, TJ, I too wish she had had a lobotomy. She is still BSC, and I wonder why she wanted to make up and be friends with Maricela? That makes no sense.
So Rogue is out and Alma is in, it's about time. She has been doing all the work all along anyway. I also don't know why Patymelt takes Rogue's abuse. He treats her like crap and she's always at his beck and call, but then again, she steals from him, his credit card, etc. They really are made for each other. Maybe by the end of this TN they will be together, one can hope ; )
I am glad Alma went to Toluca with Jesús, at least so he could borrow her makeup kit! Did you see those cheeks? No, not those! Ok, ok, he looked like a baboon...
I am glad I could find yet another PEAM sticker in one of the computers in ''Toluca''.
Vocabulary:
Mientras sean peras o sean manzanas - While we know exactly what that is
Andar del tingo al tango - Being everywhere
Calmantes montes, alicantes pintos (and the rest) - take it easy
Ya veremos dijo un ciego (here Chatita changes ciego by RIGO -Tovar, who ended up blind) - we'll see
Trivia:
In another reference to TNs, Pancho calls María José María la del Barrio, María Mercedes and Marimar.
BTW since when María José is an actress? Well, at least ''acts'' better then Nancy, Delia's sidekick!
Pablo- I laughed both when Pancho called Maria Jose Maria la del Barrio, and when he called Alma Espiritu.
I never get tired of that watch shtick -- it does sound better in Spanish, though. :)
Yay! Elias is giving up on Vero. Maybe now he and Chucho can become friends again.
Chatita was at her best with the rat poison joke.

I kinda wish the Brady kids had come down the stairs behind Rogue. This crossover with UFCS makes me feel as though anybody could show up at any time, totally out of context.
Pancho and Co. really were silly, but a bigger problem is that the high energy of Pancho and Candy really clashes with the low energy of Chucho and Alma.
Interesting that Alma didn't reply when Rebeca asked if she was going to have kids (though I must say, that's a very personal question you shouldn't ask a person you don't know well, and especially in a business setting, and extra-specially of a subordinate employee!)
I'm confused by Dr. Loca. Was her apology sincere, or was it just a ploy? She hasn't bothered Eli lately, but maybe it just takes a while for her crazy-switch to reset itself.
Lastly, Rebeca vs. Alma, side-by-side - I must revise what I said yesterday. Winner in each category:
Acting - Rebeca.
Face - Alma. Despite the excessive makeup, I think she has the better face/bone structure.
Figure - Rebeca, except for the legs.
Legs - Alma.
Voice - Alma. Judy reminded me yesterday about Rebeca's screeching. Alma never screeches. Maybe that's because she's not a good enough actress to make a really angry noise, but I don't care. I can't bear screeching.
I thought when Marta didn’t go ballistic when she heard Mari talking to Elias the other day, that maybe she’ll work through her probs and be a good candidate for Elias. Then when she apologized to Mari, I was glad to see she was better—then Mari walks away and she turns psycho-b***h again (Blue-forgot she’s has MPD).
Though the previews made it seem like Alma and Jesus are finally going to admit their feelings for each other—it’s probably either a trick or they’ll get interrupted. Maybe the show is waiting for half-way mark of the novela to have them declare their love for each other and the second half of the novela will be them trying to fight their feelings, while spending as much time together as they can. Sort of what is happening now. ☺
Recappers: awesome week. Thanks.

I can see why Chucho was defending Rog--that is his boss and you don't want to be badmouthing the leadership in a meeting. They can have an opinion, you work under the guy, you sort of have to keep quiet.
My guess is Alma takes over for Rog, and then she'll have Chucho take over her old job since a lot involved finance. He can finally ditch the stupid pink outfit. One thing you can say about TC--he can rock a suit.
Elias made me said, Val was so mature in that entire scene, and Vero can go drown in a hole. My only worry--who the heck will they now hook Elias up with. Mari or Marta--cripes, what a choice. Can't they do better for him?
Alma takes Rogelio's place (Pancho said that move was definitive. Does that mean that Rogelio, even after ''cleaning his name'' won't return to Avon?).
Jesús takes Alma's place, and with Fernando in jail, who will have all the time needed to accomplish everything, EVERYTHING, Fernando used to do? (NOT!!).
Doña Susana, as the oldest, I mean, more experienced, could take Fernando's place, but then Pánfilo could take her place, hahahahaha!
Or Chatita, or Verónica, or Patricia, or Marta, and so on...
Daisy, you didn't really miss out on any inside UFCS jokes. All of Pancho's schtick that you saw is pretty much the entire joke. He gets everybody's name wrong, mixes up words, makes up words, and he laughs at his own jokes. It made more sense (and was sort of endearing) when it was HIS show and he was the underdog and always defending himself from enemies, but out of context it's just weird.
I don't think Alma needs anyone to take over her job. She can continue doing it just as she has been. Having Rogue's position won't put much more on her plate, because she was already doing his work.
Likewise, they don't need anyone to replace Fernando either, unless his solitaire games were somehow generating income for the company.
Hey, speaking of uniforms - did we EVER see Discua in that white outfit she wears in the opening credits? Maybe that's our clue that she'll come back? (I liked the effect she had on Fernando AND on Jessica - so I really miss her.)
I really like the actor who plays Fernando. I think he's doing an excellent job of being a little s**t and being sincere.
I also liked the scene between Jesus and Pancho. Those two actors work well together.
Anyway. That meeting was surreal. I felt like they brought in all the weirdness and irritating aspects of Cande and Pancho, but without a lot of the charm that UFCS also had. And making out in a disciplinary meeting? Really? I did enjoy Chucho's reactions to the absurdity.
I thought it was funny that Cardenas ate the entire plate of cookies while telling Chatita about his troubles.
Is Elias really moving on? Maybe he should go to Toluca and meet Cande. She's nuts, but not as nuts as Dr. Loca or as insufferable as Marisela.
Other who need to stay away from Toluca, so that the world doesn’t end from their meeting their twin: Marisela, Cardenas, Vero’s lawyer, Xochi’s mom, and Yuri
I remember now it she was Concepcion, how could I forget her? Lol, but she sure looked different in UFCS, lol.
Julie, thanks for "some" concessions, but we should take into account that Rebecca is probably 10 to 15 years older than Alma.
Acting - Rebecca
Face - Rebecca ( Alma has a puffy round face)
Figure - Rebecca ( including the legs)
Voice - (Alma has a sweet voice, but she doesnot use it enough..Rebecca, can really roll her "R"s when she talk--I like that)
I would call for a vote on here, but there are too many females, and not enough males for a fair vote. (Females tend to pull for the underdog)
Also, Candy is no push-over, between Candy and Rebe, they can open doors without using their hands to knock(ers)....lol
MORE IMPORTANT... JudyB., how was your day today...."trouble don't last always". (TGIF)
Has anybody seen the Allstate commercial? The one with the french model..
Not everything you see on the internet is true, LOL!
It would be nice for Jesus to be promoted and Rogue's job change was permanent- innocent or guilty. I'm glad.
This next phase should be interesting. I just hope that it doesn't get too silly because I enjoy watching Colunga.
