CI #61--Doris’s Dilemma: It's Either Daddy Or The Dreamboat
For those of us in Viewerville who now have sea legs and can leave the Dramamine at home, we return to Isla Dorada and the floating casino just as Maria Alejandra is telling Raiza that there’s no way Octavio Narvaez would marry Doris. However, as they turn the corner of the hallway they get an eyeful of Tav and Doris in the middle of a major tongue-swallowing spit-swap. Raiza snickers and says think again. She and MA stand and gawk long enough that Doris eventually notices she has the appropriate audience. Doris looks up long enough to deliver MA a smugly triumphant smirk. For better or for worse, MariAle figures Doris is the kind of blue-blooded babe Tav’s returned to the marriage market to snag.
Back in the casino a bit later, MA notes that Operation Max-out Miguel is progressing as planned. Raiza manages to sweet-talk Migui into signing the first IOU in between guilt-free guzzled slurps of the House Hooch and his poorly placed bets, and skillfully coaxes him to continue to play.
Doris is not ashamed to admit--at 120 decibels--that if she had the opportunity she’d kill Maria Alejandra and use her for fish chum. (These Narvaez brothers both seem to have a really unhealthy predisposition for loudmouthed, class-conscious, sociopathic bully-bitches, don’t they?) She swears MA is looking to snag the title of First Lady of Isla Dorada by becoming Daddy’s trophy wife and Doris isn’t going to allow it! Nosireebob! Tav is just as certain that MA wouldn’t marry an old man like that for any reason. Tell that to the Guv who is sitting in his fartsickle silk pajamas and figuring there is no way the lady under discussion will turn his marriage proposal down.
"--I believe he will, Little Girl, though he won't be here to gamble!" "--Ohhh?" Tav suddenly has a frown that touches all the way to the ground. Doris inflates and begins another barage of aristocratic barbs. MariAle smiles cooly and lets Doris vent a bit before clarifying that Daddy and she are going to eat dinner together there in the restaurant. Doris pitches another temper tantrum. Ok then, offers Maria Alejandra, we’ll make an exchange: I won’t dine with your father but I’ll will eat with your fiancé instead.

--Don’t I know it, too! If she marries him I won’t have a chance in hell with her!” “--So that’s it? Look. The woman is ambitious and only looks out for herself.” “--No, I am foolish and vain enough to believe she actually is attracted to me. And I am not exactly a disinterested party, either. Damned if I haven’t I’ve tried to fight the attraction but I can’t get her out of my mind! I am crazy in love with her! I’m to the point of putting myself at her feet to do whatever she wants with me!” (M-m-m-m-m. I put myself to pondering those possibilities. ¡Ay, yi yi-i-i-i-i!)

Looking forward to Part 2
So Migullible started to gamble, there is no surprise there.
Hahaha on the bit about Tav saying he wants to break up the Gov and MA, when in reality he's hoping he can play the dancing sheets with MA.
Maricruz is in such good revenge form: nothing is stopping her. She is setting Miguel up for the perfect fall playing so well on his weaknesses. Crazy Doris has no idea who she is playing with. Another fun and satisfying episode!
Jarifa
I think it's hilarious that Ana Brenda gets to call Ingrid Martz a little girl, when IM is seven years older than AB, but of course I know it's more in reference to Doris' lack of maturity.
Why is it that when men first see Maricruz, they fall in love with her? Yet, none of her suitors can remain faithful and focused on her long enough to get her.
WHILE JA is swearing his love and desire for Maricruz, he scruz a chick from the family who he witnessed toturing her. Now they are in talking about marriage and they only scrud yesterday.
Karim went home and married while he was scruin' Maricruz.
Tav was actually had sex with her, but dates as he "looks" for her and his baby. So far, he's investigated a incinerated pile of rubble and asked an apartment manager where she his wife and baby could be. I don't think he's tried to find if she has a facebook account. Anyways, last week he had his toungue down her throat, but he's making out with another chick in her place of work.
The governer is a politian. Need I say more?

"raise the volume from a low alley cat yowl to a sharply shrill shrew"
and
"unhealthy predisposition for loud-mouthed, class-conscious, sociopathic bully bitches..."
Yowza...one hot cracklin' recap. Wish I had time to read more. Later, amiga mia. And thanks.
Operation Max-out Miguel
At least daddy isn't there with the card sharking slut---OH MY! And
I got in trouble for dingbat.
This encourages Doris to raise the
volume from a low alley cat yowl to sharply shrill shrew. [My hand goes to mute. Could Lucia and Doris be not so distant cousins?]
Fartsickle silk pajama's--Jardinera
that line should be placed in the Novela Recapper's Museum of Great Quotes.
Maria Alajandra bugins pushing Doris's daddy buttons and Tav gets
ready to duck incoming from both sides.
Maria Alajandea deepens her dimples
Well, when you and the adolesent figure things out----
And this is only part one. What will part two bring?
How big is this Governor? Does he just govern the island or a whole state? Has that information come out in any of the episodes?
the gringo
I still don't get this issue of Karim buying the casino. No one can make a person sell something they don't want to sell, unless there's some weird law in Mexico that I don't know about. She wants to marry the governor because of social status and as a way to not sell the casino to Karim because no property owned by the state can be sold. (I think we understood that law change incorrectly the other day) Why would she have to sell otherwise? This makes no sense to me.
What made me laugh most in part 2:
"absolutely in a Mexico City minute"
and
"Hacienda de los Nervios".
You're wicked funny Jardinera. Irreverant. Bawdy. Straight shootin' and funny as hell. Thanks.
I know this is another logic question but why doesn't MA press attempted kidnapping charges against Karim. She has a willing witness to corroborate her story too.
I think the writers are using the crazy people (Lucia, Karim, and Doris) as an excuse not to really do their job.
it's a diet of pure beef'n brawn for Ester. I wonder if it's really true or does she have something up her sleve that hasn't been revealed yet.
Her latest lust-in-the-dust therapy session.
Don Baldomero
Hacienda De Los Nervios
So, can Karim go ahead under the new law and buy the casino? This is getting very boring--er no, interesting.
We have a real chess game going on here but this game is being played with people. Who will come out the winner?
the gringo
This show is so much fun. I thought that the slap was terrific. Doris is such a treat to watch. I think that it's great that such an insignificant spoiled little girl can be such a distraction for our Maricruz.
And what have they done to our Eddy? Looks like he's now committed to early to bed...early to rise.
Maybe they're getting him in shape to match up to Simona somewhere down the line.
Carlos
Re Isla Dorada, though Mrs. Mejia did a crappy job of pointing it out, I know from watching previous versions that the island is supposed to be an independent sovereign country, not a state within Mexico. That's why the governor's position is supposed to be so important, and that's why Miguel doesn't feel he is within the reach of Mexican law enforcement, as he would be anywhere else in Mexico. That said, I will be the first to note Mrs. Mejia's other big fail on this regard: there was at least one outside shot of the governor's office that showed the official seal of Mexico, and on more than one occasion I've seen the Mexican flag sitting on his office desk, though there was another flag next to it too.
Carlos
I have to second Jarifa's praise for "Fartsickle silk pajamas." Hysterical.
Cathyx, I have to agree that lately there seems to be a rushed quality to secondary character pairings. Where's the wooing? The courtship. I have a hard time "buying" the relationship when it's just one conversation and BAM! they are in lerrrve. It's even worse if there is no chemistry between them...as is the case with Ester and JA (just my opinion.)
Only the main couple are allowed to do love at first sight.
Doris really does inflate before starting one of her tirades. MariA only has to stretch her dimples and flash her eyes.
Nothing against the Gov, but he looks a little weak in his silky pjs. Don Alejandro, on the other hand, looked most elegant in his silk smoking jacket.
AS far as clothing, Ester has put on long pants and more modest tops since she started boinking JA (at least some of the time.) Not that there's anyone else at the hacienda to lure into her web. All the menfolk except JA are gone, one way or another.
Another man who has faded into the woodwork is our sexy Eduardo. Pobre de Ed! All his hotness thrown away, as he becomes nothing but a sounding board for a lovesick Tav. Are there no other eager women on La Isla Dorada??
I feel I have solved a great mystery. Why is the writing and the editing such a mess? And I don't mean blame it on the monkey or producer. ALL the money of this production is gone to WARDROBE!! Just count how many fabulous evening gowns are paraded by the ladies each night. Not to mention the elegant day wear sported on the streets and offices. (Loved Doris' show-off blue/black print and MA's burnout fabric in ecru.) Even Carola and Raiza don't wear rags.
MariAle must use at least one bedroom just for a closet in her villa. Baby Lupita's stuff is probably squeezed in one corner, with clothes and shoes filling the rest of the room. They could be selling paper doll books with MA's wardrobe. The fashion show goes on and on.
La Paloma
my fave: "it's a diet of pure beef'n brawn for Ester"
ITA with- 'My hand goes to mute.' - LOL
La Paloma - Yes, I also think you solved the mistery, all wages that should be going to the writers and editors are spent on wardrobe thats why the above mentioned is so poorly done.
Definitely like you analysis of understated elegance vs. flashy.
I like how strong Esther has become and stepping up to watch JA's back!
MA and Tav's conversation was a full circle, "I need a man, you don't, I don't, you do"
I'm waiting for Doris to go completely mad and pull an Ophelia and drown herself in the water.
Vivi must be right that Ed is in love with Araceli because he never goes out anymore and he could be racking up the women at the casino. Such a shame, Ed and Ara are so boring together.
I wonder what MA will do if Karim allowed to buy the casino and Carola sells him her share? After all, it would be double the price.
I have to say, I am enjoying her far more as a spoiled, screeching harpy. I didn't like her as the insipid Dani on LQNPA.
I also thought that if Shut Up Doris were smart, she would have brought a tape recorder to that meeting and taped MA revealing her plan.
Thanks again to all of you for such a terrific "recapper's feast" ala the sidebar's recommendation.... LOL!
SO SO SO TRUE!!!
Thanks for this awesome recap. I sorta choked on my coffee on the “It's more likely he's trying to convince her not to throw herself away on an impotent old coot when she could have a horny hotty like him to warm her sheets up” line. Shame on you, Jardinera!!
I rather enjoyed this episode. The diva fights between Maria Alejandra and Doris have yet to bother me in the slightest. I thought it was interesting how MariAle made the observation about respect- whether peasant or casino women, she’s still being slighted by society. Hopefully this epiphany will cause her to leave behind the casino and head out to the ranch. Hacienda dueña sounds better than “mujer del casino”. But I doubt that will happen soon.
I assume that Oblivio, through the workings of his strange little brain, is sticking with Doris to stay close to Maria Alejandra, especially now that she’s planning on marrying the Gobernator. Tav made it clear last night that he has no interest in being with Doris. I laughed when he told Eduardo that he didn’t even liker her.
Hablando del rey de roma, is it just me or has Eduardo been in bed for a week’s worth of capitulos? Writers, listen closely…if you’re going to confine his role to the bedroom, you could at least give us the gift of a shirtless scene.
I finally became a Jester fan last night. Although I’m still disappointed that the writers think all women are the same- romantic, as Ester says- I do believe that her feelings for JA are sincere. And I LOVED how she stuck it to Lucíafer. Murder is indeed worse than falling in love with a farm boy. My deepest hope is that Ester at some point tells MC the truth about Ramiro’s death.
Tolita sighting tonight? Por fis?
Love the exchanges between MA and Shutup Doris.
Why do TN galans like Octavio always have no b.... when it comes to downright obsessive octopuses of a woman. Here Octavio keep saying he couldn't stand Shutup Doris and yet if she says Come with me here or kiss me, he willingly obliges.
I'm still wondering about Esther's true feelings for JA.
Why does MC/MA need to expose herself from the very beginning as a Casino mujer and also Carola when they are owners and shouldn't work as entertainers of Casino client visitors and couldn't they hire people such as Araceli and Raiza to do the job and for them to just stay in their office and maybe occasionally show themselves in the bar or diners but without clients around them and be like businesswomen instead and not wear gowns. Maybe then they'll get respected. Have the Croupier or card dealers and Casino girls inform the clients " Oh, there's the owner of the casino" casually. The way to entice casino clients are to offer comps isn't it?
No visits to Mexico and her sister and Tobias and the new baby???
