De Que Te Quiero Te Quiero #160 Wednesday 8/20/14
De Que me importa un rábano, me importa un rábano
Disagree with me if you will, but nothing happened.
They all got ready to go camping. The end.
But if I must, here's a rápido recap.
Paul sees an internet article about a comet.
Brat whines about working.
Lupita imagines Carmen's rage if she found out Lupita lied and told El that Carmen was with Paul.
El wonders how to get Carmen back. He rehearses "te amo."
Rod is taken from his cell for an evaluation. He stinks. They're taking him to the showers.
Paul interrupts a family B!tch about Brat fest with his telescope. Somehow a huge camping trip is planned.
Al talks to Rod. Rod tries to play crazy.
Lupita is pithed about the trip and doesn't want to go.
Rod asks Al about Brat and makes a lewd comment about her coming for a conjugal visit.
Lupita tells her mom about the lie she told El (that Paul and Carmen were an item.) Carmen is not moved. She doesn't want to be with a man who doesn't trust her.
El and Al talk about the evaluation. El just wants Rod in jail for a long time.
Rod calls Brat from jail and tells her she'll be back in jail with him soon.
Diego and Simona are still trying to decide on a location. He sees the internet article about the stupid comet.
Camping plans. Camping plans. Irene had a successful meeting with a boutique with locations all over Mexico. Camping plans. Paolo and Mara talk about *whispers in ear* en pleno bosque (in the middle of the forest?) Camping plans. Paul b!tches about the family cramping his peaceful comet watching style and turning it into a pachanga. Hell, they'll probably bring cumbia music. Carmen reminds Lupita to pack the Cumbia CDs and tells her she can't tell El where they are going. More camping plans. Irene and Nat shop for too much camping gear.
Rod provokes Al.
Lupita fibs about dead camera batteries so Carmen has to leave. She runs to Luz.
Diego shops for camping supplies.
Lupita and Luz cook up a plan in which Luz will ask El to take her to see the comet.
Al wants to be objective. He really doesn't think Rod is crazy. He calls Paul for a consult. They meet. Paul thinks Rod is completely responsible for his actions. Let him rot (I took some liberties with that line.) Meanwhile, Rod hopes everyone has believed his crazy act.
Luz call El and tells him about wanting to go camping and see the comet. He's on to her. He knows something's up. He goes investigating and sees the boys with all the camp gear. He figures it's a perfect place to confess his love to Carmen.
Simona packs and since Diego didn't think he should give her any hints everything she packs is kind of inappropriate.
Everyone ignores Brat.
Al reports his findings to Vicente. Vicente is saddened by the news that Rod will have to serve a sentence in jail, but agrees it's what Rod deserves.
Everyone finally gets on the road (Paolo's car looks like it belongs to the Joads.) El trained in Israel?? Qué? Simona is still asking where they are going. She doesn't seem to happy when she gets there.
Paolo gets a flat. Carmen wants to relax and fix some food and enjoy. Paul is miffed. Lupita panics. How is she going to alert Luz where they are?? There's no cell phone coverage.
Luz is with El wondering how she'll find out where the others are. El mentally rehearses "te amo." Luz lets it slip that Carmen still doesn't know about El's plans to move to Mérida. El thinks that's great. He can let her think she's losing him, THEN spring the "te amo" on her.
Simona has allergies.

Would you loan your rival clothes?
I wouldn't.

Sara- Yes. Nothing happened, but at least that meant it was easy to recap! This episode was all a set up for whatever is going to happen on this camping trip.
Diego really should have given Simona a hint about the kind of clothes to bring. Those bikinis, evening dresses and high heels are not going to come in handy in the chilly forest.
It was nice to see the family all together. I laughed when Brat walked in and I realized they were all going camping with HER dad, without her! Then I felt bad for her when the family shunned her, but then I remembered how horrible she has always been to them all, and my sympathetic feelings passed.

He really should have. I thought that was kind of inconsiderate.

Lol, Sara..."They all got ready to go camping. The end." is about right!
For everyone who hasn't watched it yet, you can play the drinking game...take 1 drink every time someone says "camping" and 2 drinks every time someone says "comet." Five minutes in, you'll be completely smashed and you won't care what happens for the rest of the episode.
I'm with Irene, I am NOT a camping girl. Apparently, neither is Simona, and I agree, Diego not telling her what to pack was just...who does that? He couldn't have said "casual" without ruining the surprise? She couldn't have warned him? "Hey, by the way, just in case you're planning anything that involves nature, you should know that I'm going to swell up like a balloon and have fluid pouring out of my eyes and nose the entire trip."
I agree with Paul and little Al that Rod knew what he was doing when he killed Big Al and tried to cover it up, but at this point...unless Big Al is actually haunting him, he's having hallucinations. And even if Big Al really is there in ghostly form, tormenting him, all the fear and anger he's stirring up in Rod is putting Rod's fellow prisoners at risk.
If the entire episode had consisted of El practicing "te amo" it would have been the best episode ever.

zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz. That's about all I can say about this episode. Your recap was good, I don't know how you did it with drivel they gave us. I guess the writers wanted us to laugh at Simona bringing dresses, and high heels camping. But it was dumb, because obviously it's going to create a great deal of discomfort for Simona and possibly start their descent into the inevitable breakup.

Also, I guess the writers want us to feel sorry for the brat, but they should realize after many, many episodes of her nonsense, one episode is not going to change anyone's mind about her. All she said last episode was "Mom, I'm not a bad person." and then she gets arrested and we're suppose to feel sorry for her now? Keep trying writers.

Sara, you made me smile. Despite the non-action in the episode itself, you made me laugh with "Everyone ignores Brat"; "(Paolo's car looks like it belongs to the Joads)." Most excellent.
Vivi, yes, Simona may look glamorous in her evening wear but suspect she will be slipping and sliding all over in those heels. I'm sure camping is the last thing she might suspect.
Kat, I'll join you, Irene and Simona. Camping? Uhh, noo.. I'm sure it's wonderful fun for the folks who enjoy it but I'll watch on the sidelines.
I must admit I felt a small trace of sadness for Brig when she came home and she was silently shunned by everyone. I know it's breaking Carmen's heart. The saddest thing is that Brig really has not changed. She has a real chance to atone and be genuinely contrite for what she's done - I don't know if it will be enough but I hope for Carmen's sake that this does occur.
I'm smiling with Fatima at "I didn't pay attention". This was wonderful and a great way to start the day.
Thanks Sara.

Thanks Sara, I enjoyed the recap much more than the episode. It was interesting how you pointed out details that I missed because of the wording/vocabulary.
Although the whole hour was about camping plans, It's obviously creating a background for the grand finale. One episode without having to read comment after comment bashing Nat is refreshing. (Hope I'm not speaking too soon). Simona has allergies, and is dressed inappropriately. I'm sure that will become Nat's problem right?

I thought last night's episode was hilarious, with Paul's desire to watch the comet alone spinning out of control and winding up with a caravan of Garcias with supplies strapped on the top of vehicles heading to the hinterlands.
I missed quite a bit of the dialogue because of unfamiliar words, I guess specific to camping, but your recap helped me a lot, Sara. Thank you very much.
So, who will be the least appropriately dressed - Paul or Simona?
For a while now I have been disappointed in how this plot has been playing out, but I thought last night's episode was both funny and a grand stressor for all the relationships that we've been agonizing over.
Thanks again for your recap, Sara.

So funny Sara.
Admit it, never, ever thought the big showdown would come on a camping trip.
Simona - needed to wound you to make it a fair fight
Diego - you definitely ain't gettin any this weekend
Paul - never see that comet unless it hits your tent
Paulo - gone four wheeling in this thing too
Nat - party at my tent
Hot Rod - delusions for my delusions
Brigitte - didn't want to go anyway
Irene - and nail polish for the chigger bites
Lupita - I like this white lie loophole

Oh I love this rat-a-tat-tat recaps. Perfect for my aging ADD brain. Which is also why I loved:
"Avances
I didn't pay attention."
Well, at least Paul is about to get over his too late infatuation with Carmen and her Garcia tribe. Yes, they'll bring food, noise, Cumbia music and a whole lot more. Not what a dorky intellectual would like at all. So bring on El and his über-rehearsed "te amos" and let's get this romance rolling before the final hiccup.
Happy to know Simona won't get hit by a truck as Tofie feared, in order to facilitate the Nat-Diego final hook-up. She'll just sneeze her way out of the relationship.
Thanks Sara. I love your sense of humor and your hang it all attitude. Fits the episode perfectly!

Sara, thanks so much for the recap. Nothing did happen but it was definitely a set up for things to come.
Diego really should have let poor Simona know it was a causal weekend. Poor thing probably brought nothing appropriate to wear.
I would join Kat and Diana along w/Irene in a nearby hotel b/c I'm not huge on camping either.
tofie, another great list though I hope we don't spend the next 7 episodes at the beach.

Some years ago my girlfriends and I told our guy friends/husbands that we were done with camping. We had moved up to cabining. We usually rent a nice cabin once a year with plenty of bedrooms and amenities. The men get to be closer to nature, and we get to be closer to real toilets and stoves. Win-Win. I was totally with Irene on this. Although I bet she'll somehow get stuck with all the Garcias and not get to drive back like she's planning. However, if I were camping, I would love to do it with a fund bunch like the Garcias. Bring on the cumbia!
Sara, Thanks for a funny take on this non episode.
High jinx will ensue on this camping trip with Simona in her gown and heels. I am joining the line of folks who are not big on camping. The last time I went camping, I was a 12 year-old Girl Scout at Camp MoseyWood. I have a memory of finding a mouse floating in the big pot of water the morning I had to get up extra early for kitchen duty. I did learn a lot of songs that I still remember. When you live in the country, the idea of camping is not really interesting since you are basically surrounded by nature and camping in your house. ...24/7. What's the point when you are surrounded by forest on three sides ?

I was surprised at the total silent treatment towards Brat. I thought at least there would be icy politeness. Vivi, I started to feel sorry for her too until I remembered all she had done.
I hope that just because Simona is not a camper, Diego does not feel that is grounds to break up with her. They have plenty of other things in common.
Stupid of Diego not to tell her to dress casually and to bring some warm clothes.
I'm hoping this will give Nat a chance to get back to the nice woman we all know, and loan Simona some clothes.
Hope El doesn't pull the jealous thing when he sees Paul there.
Want to bet Al turns up?

yeah, I'm done with totally roughing it. Used to backpack plenty and been wet, cold, dirty & stinky for a lifetime. Saw some pretty cool places however.
@Nanette "I'm hoping this will give Nat a chance to get back to the nice woman we all know, and loan Simona some clothes."
Would you loan your rival clothes?
I wouldn't.

Anon 2:59: It's not as if Simona stole Diego from Nat. Nat broke up with him, refused to give him another chance and got engaged to another man. Simona's not the rival here. I can see Simona thinking Nat is the rival, since she's trying to steal Diego from her.
If I saw someone suffering from cold or discomfort and I could do something about it, then the answer is yes, I would.

Sara, you made a winner out of this otherwise slow/boring hour.
Add me to the list of non camper lovers. It might be fun to go along on a one time basis with family. This is if I had a fun family like the Garcia's. So the thought of sleeping on the ground even in a tent does nothing but scare the heck out of me.
I'm looking forward to tonight's episode. So far it looks like something set up by the 3 stooges. I foresee all sorts of conflicts and misunderstanding.

Wow...is there anyone out there who likes camping? I was a lifeguard one summer for a Girl Scout camp deep in the woods.
Not unusual for some furry animal to run across your chest...or one time my face!...early in the morning.
Gruesome latrines (only time I ever lit up a cigarette and took it with me) and one terrifying night when I was all alone in a cabin with stored metal camp equipment while lightning struck all around me and the heavens unleashed a terrifying storm.
Last time "camping".

Judy- In high school, every year our class would go on a camping trip. Junior year, it was a full-on backpacking trip-- I sprained my ankle the first night in and had to hike on it every day while lugging my pack with all my equipment. I had more than enough of THAT by the end of high school. Then I came to DC and made all these great friends, and for some reason all the guys wanted to go camping. Fun, but... After a few years, as I mentioned, we ladies laid down the law. There are so many nice cabins (some with hot tubs) for rent. Why would you choose to sleep on rocks and share communal bathrooms, or no bathrooms at all?
I guess it's a "guy thing" Vivi. I remember when I was trying to pick out new tile for our bathroom shower, the salesman said to me, "Honestly Judy, we guys would just as soon live in a cave in the backyard. It's you gals who want the amenities."
I've never forgotten that. (Still, my husband doesn't like camping either. Basic training in the army and a killer case of poison ivy did it for him.)
