Caray, Caray!

Pablo:

So very funny and snarky! Loved this whole recap! Thanks so much.

Had to laugh at Roger, Mostro and Cantu. They were acting like they were in High School.

I loved the "haunting" of Killeronia! I really wish Cynthina and Marta had shown up and scared her into having an infarto! That would be perfect poetic justice! I am really worried for Vale now that she is on the "Wall of Doom"!

Alma and Chucho should have taken that text and the ruined wedding dress to the cops. It is better than anything they have against Killeronica right now.

So everyone at Avon is working on the wedding. Guess they are not getting any other work done.

Julie:

Thanks so much for your perfectly funny recap yesterday. I wanted to thank you cause I wasn't able to comment yesterday.
 

Pablo, another great recap! I especially laughed at: "motherna", the reference to Daguerrotypes, the Pope's red shoes and "Le Cage ". Thanks!

Madelaine, I was thinking the same thing about the dress threat: why wasn't it reported to the police? I guess they just are gluttons for punishment!

Paty's request for Rogelio to attend the wedding was strange. He is in jail not at a boarding school. Oh well, I guess anything is possible in this little gem maybe even a "field trip" for Rogelio.

At least they are telling us how many days left to the wedding.

Well, thanks!
I tried to do it ''by memory'' but I couldn't. I needed as much evidence as I could to use against them, LOL!

Just let me get my hands on Octavio, I am sure I will send him to a make up testing Lab.
 

Ha, ha! Just picturing Octavio with bright pink rouge on his little face.

Jarifa
 

Me too!!
 

Good job, Pablo. Did they need to drag this tn out for a reason? These final episodes are just filler, and usually by this point there's more action. I would have preferred to see Jesus and Alma dedicate more time to trying to protect themselves from, and find evidence on, Veronica. Other than fret over wedding planning, which both of them are quite capable of doing on their own.

I did chuckle when they insisted to Jess that they wanted plain, white invitations. Of course, I thought. Just as boring as they are. I also laughed during all the silly jail scenes.
 

Too funny. He will be on the pasarelas next!

Very, very funny,
Pablo. "...organic cotton picked up only by white people from Scandinavia." That's what I want for my butt. I'm still catching up on the show, but I look forward to your interpretations of it.
 

Pablo, you are a regular stand-up, er, sit-down comedian. Too many favorites to mention!
 

Great recap, Pablo! ...and I absolutely agree w/ Ithabill. FWIW, a paper mill 40 miles west of us converted to produce "fluff" (yep, that's what it's called in the trade) to make diapers ever-so-more-absorbent.

Hee... How many of El Jesus Adorado's and La Alma Adorada's friends and acquaintances will send regrets on receiving one or two days notice of this Boda del Siglo? Maybe yes to the reception for the free chow.
 

Pablo:

Your avatar is hysterical. Is this the head writer for this mess? Or is it the head writer from CI? Too funny. Between you and Blue, I am cracking up!

Blue:

I wasn't able to comment on your weekend recap, but loved your monkey pics, and the whole recap too funny, and your avatar is so funny too : )
 

Octavio & Octavia!
 

Thanks, Pablo. I missed it last night, so I'm 1 for 3 this week; but I definitely don't mind missing a bunch of stuttering jokes. Yeesh. I did notice Tuesday night though that Cantu really seems to be adapting nicely to life in prison!

I think the friend at the Fundidora said he'd provide all the services and facilities. So, maybe the chairs and tables, I don't know, and maybe some staff to handle the food, but I didn't think he mentioned anything about the actual food, or even the cake. Maybe I missed it, though.

The lawyer joke ("losing his judgement") works pretty well in English too. :o)

I don't know why Chucho and Alma didn't just make their own invitations. Maybe it's not the same as from a professional stationers, but they've got only a few days and a bunch of laser printers around the office. Seems to me this would be an easy decision.

Marcia's back again? Just to do a milk commercial? Maybe she'll adopt Raimunda. That wouldn't be like totally weird or anything!

I laughed at Julia and Mike's late comments yesterday where they were making wedding plan suggestions. Liking having Cristina and Don Francisco, and a hot air balloon to take them on a one-hour trip to their honeymoon at the south pole.

I'm glad we're making the most of our final week, at least. :-)
 

Well, this episode was still fluffy and pointless, but it did make me laugh several times, so that is a step up. Of course, the recap made me laugh even more. Constantly from title to end, in fact.

Of course Jesus and Alma are so popular that everyone will show up to their wedding even though they will only receive the invitations the day before. They will drop everything for such a special event! Even their appendectomies or their own (gay) wedding performed by the pope in his red shoes! In fact, they are such special snowflakes that Rog probably will get out of prison for the event, even though he had to stay in prison for HIS OWN wedding.

The invitation choosing was so classically Chucho and Alma, by which I mean they are BORING. So many fun ideas. I liked the shark one the best. But no, they want the dullest thing possible.

Unbelievable that Vero is such a threat and a nuisance, and they still don't have a P.I. tailing her at all times. I would think that would be a higher priority than soup for the reception.
 

I'm surprised Chucho isn't making his own invitations and folding them into origami cranes. Normally the post office wouldn't deliver such irregular-shaped mail, but surely they'd make an exception for Chucho and Alma! (Of course, they'll also have to deliver the invitations overnight!)

Or they could skip the printed invitations entirely and issue a public invitation on the Avon corporate website. Most companies wouldn't approve of this, but I think Pancho Lopez would understand.
 

Hahahaha!

I am sure the reason why I didn't drop the towel early in this TN and left to induce myself a lobotomy and forget that I was once interested in watching it, is beacuse the comments are way funnier than the TN and sometimes even than the recappings.

When I was a kid, some trucks had a loud speaker announcing things on the streets, add it to the list of options, LOL!
 

They should have gotten a skywriter to invite everyone in town to the wedding! And done one of those Emergency Alert System announcements on every channel on television and radio, all day long, for people who don't look at the sky! And an elephant for Alma to ride as she arrives at the cathedral. Jesus, of course, will arrive in a pillar of light on a cloud from heaven.
 

It's funny how everyone is so excited and just dying to put all their time and energy into helping with the wedding, and none of them ever thinks, "Gee, no one cared this much about MY wedding."
 

Well... there are levels...

First Alma y Jesús
Then the staff that talks
and lower in the pyramid the staff that doesn't talk

I am sure all those mute ones that only look at each other like they're actually saying something don't even deserve to live in free-union, Ha!

Some people get the ArchBishop and the cathedral and some just a judge of the peace, sigh!
 

All excellent ideas!

I think all of this nonsense is supposed to be funny. The situation, I mean. Everyone in the company stops what they're doing to plan their wealthy bosses' wedding. Theoretically it sounds as though it should be funny, at least ironically funny, but something is lacking in the execution. Chucho and Alma just come across as overprivileged people who need only ask people (other than Vero) to do whatever they want, and they get it.

It's true that they do good deeds for others, too, but the fact is that they already have it better than anyone else, even without getting extra favors. (Like not having to pay for their reception venue. Did Jess and Oliverio get a free wedding reception? I doubt it!) So it's annoying rather than amusing to see them using company time and resources to plan their wedding.
 

Exactly. They don't come across like lovely people who happen to be lucky in life, they seem like spoiled dictators with an overdeveloped sense of entitlement.
 

All the ''good'' they do to others is not sincere, it doesn't come from the heart, there's always a hidden purpose, in their will to know (and interfere) in other people's lives, they have to do something that apparently looks like they are doing good, but in fact is a by-product of their meddling.

I had a friend like that. She had her own plans, then she pretended she was doing something for me and the most benefited was her. Funny how that people see things from their perspective and think they're right!
 

I agree, Pablo, they are meddlers; but I don't think we're supposed to see them that way. I think we're supposed to see them as heroic and practically psychic in figuring out ways to help others. But most of their "helping" works out pretty well for them, too.

On the other hand, they refrain from "meddling" when they see all kinds of warning signs, like Vero kidnapping Alma on her wedding day. THAT'S the time to "meddle," before she does any more harm. But that would actually be useful, so... they don't meddle.

Even when they do something more altruistic, like Alma helping her friend the owl in prison, or Chucho finding someone to keep Chatita from getting evicted, it tends to be something that's relatively easy for them to do. Or else it's something you would hope any decent person would do, like trying to keep someone from jumping off the roof.

Not a major sacrifice. Not comparable to Fernando going to prison for his brother, for example. (I keep wondering if I'm forgetting something; Chucho did make some sacrifices to be with Valentina. He wore a pink blouse, for crying out loud. But other than that, I can't think of anything.)

Honestly, I do think this was meant to be funny; I just don't see how.
 

But Chucho gave himself an ulcer trying to work overtime at Orion and study property law to save Chatita's home at the same time! Instead of just hiring a lawyer, which would have been way more efficient and sensible. He's so selfless!

 

What 'chu talkin' 'bout, Willis? Chucho is a saint ... and Alma is an angel!! (tongue firmly in cheek)
LOL
 

Come to think of it, it was bad enough that he got arrested at Vale's bday party; just think how bad it would have been if he'd keeled over bleeding there as well. Because that was only a few hours later.

Oops, I don't mean "bad"; I mean "hilarious."
