Qué Bonito Amor #91 (Mex 129) Tuesday 8/20/13 New Season of Survivor: By the Waters of Babylon
Labels: QBA
BTW, I found By the Waters of Babylon online.
We had to expect that city dude Santos would have the smarts to figure out this level of wilderness survival. I wasn't quite expecting a snake to screw it up but we knew that Maria wouldn't be able to handle this for long (despite how appealing the idea could be to play Eve to an Adam like JA).
There needed to be something that would get them arrested.
Comandante Malo is appropriately named; he completely lacks people skills. He needs to do his homework by watching La Ley y la Orden, at least the first two versions to understand how police deliver bad news to families.
Amalia has no redeeming features anymore. She is grossly insensitive to Don Justo's pain.
Who else thinks she might try to accuse JA of kidnapping Maria? Of course, she'd never get away with that.
With 33 remaining episodes it doesn't sound like Ruben should be going down right now. Unless Giuliano escapes and heals to do even greater evil Ruben is still needed to do something more dastardly before being finished off.
Amelia. Oh lordy what a long suffering mother. Her children are going to put her back into a coma. And what the heck with these people always jumping to conclusions. If some one told Amelia that Maria and Santos had jumped into the 8th dimension she would believe it and swoon again.
There is still a lot of time for a kidnapping, an attempted rape, and yet another attempt on Jorge Alfredo's life. He has to save Maria's life one more time and Amalia still won't appreciate him.
They still have to marry off all the single mariachis, too. That means Fernando, the guy who helped him last night on the beat-down, and Oscar. Somebody has to officially adopt El Jalisquito, and we still need to find out about Isabel.
So Amelia has yet another hysterical scene plus one faint and one near faint. The woman is worse than Mancia. I did notice she was back to calling Justo Don and I was actually surprised when she said "Our children are dead". I had thought she would probably scream my nina is dead and it is all the fault of that rat bastard son of yours and oh yeah he's dead too. Somehow I guess she managed to restrain herself for a least a few minutes. She really is insensitive to how much pain Justo has suffered, the loss of his wife, his son, the good name of his family. She continually makes it all about her and she has lost nothing.
So Mirna and Elvirus are busy playing the female version of mine is bigger than yours. I suspect Elvirus will come out on the short end of that one. Mirna is a lot older and has been at it a lot longer.
Concho and Lourdes were really shocked that their precious princessa could stoop so low as to cause Maria to lose her baby. And at least they are partly blaming themselves.
So a real snake slithers into paradise and did I also notice an apple right by it? Maria of course will get bitten, that medal of Pedro's is certainly working overtime, and somehow JAntos gets her someplace for help and the American cop shows up. Oh puleeze in what universe is that ever going to happen. Right Novelaland and I must remember this is entertainment.
Drecho, stupidly promises to marry Curtis for what reason I will never know, but only if they catch Santos. Santos is dead and he immediately tells her no marriage. Nice guy.
Could it have gotten any more ridiculous than two city people thinking they can survive in the wild (well, they can't be too far from a highway).
JA probably bought the fish off a peddler and Maria found the lady who was making pots from the good clay soil near the river and got her to give them one. (In my imagintion.)
I *still* say, better for them to have looked for that nice little cabana on the isla with the old lady to help them. Amalia is still Maria's weak link. At least she recognizes that Maria's income is no longer an obligation on her part to provide for that growing brood.
How did Jalisquito get into an elite grammar school, anyway--not taking anything away from him, but it was hard enough for Roddy to get in. The little rascal does clean up well. I hardly recognized him.
As Urban commented: There is still a lot of time for a kidnapping, an attempted rape, and yet another attempt on Jorge Alfredo's life. He has to save Maria's life one more time and Amalia still won't appreciate him.
Golawah, you, too: We still have time for Maria to be mauled by a bear, get another waitress job, sing on a few more buses and fall out of the door and get hurt, and probably leave Santos 6 more times.
Good one. And here's hoping the kids will put Amalia back in a coma. UA and I would appreciate that!
Beats me how Jalisquito got into school and who paid for his uniform. And wasn't Paloma expelled for her latest fight with Vainessa. I don't recall any recent scene of Amelia going and begging like she did the first time. I guess nothing ever came of
Vainessa accusing Roddy of forcing himself on her and we haven't seen anything of her since her picture lie was exposed. Just a bunch of red herrings I guess.
There is an awful lot of ground to cover with 30 plus to go but I'm not feeling a kidnapping or rape attempt (which mercifully except for the Braulio attempt has not been a big feature of this story). I can see another attempt of JAntos life since OJ is on a rampage now trying to save his own skin and Ruben is tipping closer to the edge every day. I'm also waiting for Elvirus to get what is coming to her and not being sent for a time out by Concho and Lourdes. The body count is still low for a TN so I'm looking for at least one or two more.
Sorry but even in the TN world I don't believe that "love is all that matters so who cares if we are dirt poor and have to live in the wild". Looks like it won't last long though.
I wonder how the other crazy lovebirds (meaning Derecho and Curtis) are going to find JA and Maria and I wonder how JA is going to get Maria to a hospital after the snake bite.

How Derecho will find them is up to the Novelaland Gods because it certainly won't make sense. I've been going nuts trying to figure out 1) how they took a cab ride out to the sticks in what seem only minutes, 2) what river they jumped in. There are 70 in the DF all underground and in the sewer system. 3) where there is a wilderness area that apparently can be reached floating down some river. I know there are wilderness type areas 60 or so miles outside of the DF but how Maria and JAntos found one is beyond even my wild imagination to concoct.
Been watching The Bridge and really enjoy it. He is such a pro. A really interesting and timely show.
