La Gata #110 2/3/15 Know Your Enemy
I hate this show.
I hate Ms. Latoodle-oo.
I hate Univision.
As usual, keep those expectations low and pardon my rage induced rant-cap. I didn't take notes and I'll do what I can. I'm trying not to drop the F-bomb all over this.
Fer finishes throwing Lo out of the house and tells everyone that she is NOT to be let back in. Meche wonders if Lo really has repented. *eyeroll*.
The PI informs Fer and Blanca that he may have found out who has Jarocha and where she is. At the same time, Fer gets a call from Tilico with instructions for leaving the ransom. Later, the PI and Fer go to deliver the money. The cops are waiting for Tilico.
Tilico leaves Jarocha in care of Ines with instructions to kill Jarocha. Ines can't even hold a gun convincingly and it just pisses me off. Damn. Can't they even take the time to make sure the bad guys don't look like dumbasses?
Dam goes to see Gisela in jail. She tries to argue that she's sick (save it, sister. WE are the ones who are sick.) At her hearing, she puts on a good crazy act for the judge. Dam tries to get the judge to understand it's an act, but his honor doesn't listen. Gisela will be sent to an institution. This is just crap. They take the time to let Viewerville know that Gi is bipolar and needs treatment, but at their convenience it's just an "act" and that Gi need jail, not treatment.
Aaaaand Gisela escapes.
Aaaaand Esme doesn't want to listen to any kind of reason and go back to the Fer mansion where there is a least a locking gate. So tired of her dumbass, stubborn, full of pride self.
Jarocha is freed. Univsion cut this out, but there must have been a face off in which Tilico was either shot or killed himself. All Esme says about it later is that Tilico preferred death to jail. Esme is the one to tell Rita all this. Rita can't understand why Esme is crying for the man who got out of jail just to harm her (and will they ever explain WHY the hell Tilico had it out for Esme?) Esme tells Rita she's crying for her. Esme understands a mother's pain.
The PI goes to see Jarocha. Uni also cut out that before he died, Tilico informed the PI that Jarocha was a cabaretera (which I think is putting it mildly.) Jarocha is sure he's there to insult her. On the contrary--he wants to know if they can start a relationship together.
Gisela has decided the basurero will be the best place to hide out and figure out how Esme thinks. She monologues endlessly across scenes about killing everyone Gata loves and finally having Gata die a slow and painful death (hmmm, just like this show.)
Virginia and Carrlos discuss her upcoming appointment with the doctor. They will be using a contraceptive until they know more. If she can't have children, they can adopt. Exploitative footage of children in the basurero follows. I am never watching a Lattoodle-oo production again. Sometimes I wonder if Lo's classist rants are loosely based on things Latoodle said in production meetings.
Fer asks Blanca if she would like to renew their vows. It was sweet, but I ain't going back and rewatching. The dress met with my approval.
Augie has a nightmare and drops dead as he calls Blanca's name.
They try to get artsy with the funeral shots. I just laugh my ass off. I'm going to hell.
Virginia and Carlos get the bad news. Lo was NOT lying. Virginia has some degenerative disease. They couldn't even bother to google some disease and make this believable? Jeez. Make her diabtetic. Does Steel Magnolias ring a bell?
Pablo and Esme are getting married! They take a pre-wedding stroll through the dump. Gi talks to herself and makes threats. La Gata se casa (La Gata is getting married.), pero Los voy a cazar (But I will hunt them down) That last bit may not be exactly what was said.
Esme goes to Fer and asks him to forgive Lo. Fer asks if she can forgive Lo and she has. Esme recognizes real tears of repentance. *eyeroll*
Wow. Pabs and Esme are actually dressed for a wedding and both of them are in front of the priest. My first impressions of the dress are favorable, but I'm not sure about that sash. Lo just rolls her eyes. Yeah, Esme...Lo has totally learned her lesson.
But I'm not holding my breath because Gi is outside and has splashed gasoline everywhere and is playing with her lighter.

"Oh my, could they be trying to put this thing out of its misery by this Friday?"
Hmmm. Could they? Wouldn't they be announcing the "rumbo al final"?
I wouldn't be surprised if they did something like that. Then do a couple days of 2 hour MCET eps hoping to pull them into La Sombra.
<< Home
Thanks Sara!!!!
UNI sure sliced and diced. We saw two eps in one I believe. It was so choppy. I had to laugh at the terrible Uni editing. One minute we have the Tilico and cop face off then the next Esme hugs Jarocha then the next Gisela has escaped then the next Augie dies all alone then the next the funeral then the next the vow renewal then that silly walk through the dump (how romantic..NOT) then the wedding.
Uni is doing the editing now in order to have it end by next Friday. I'm pretty sure we will get another edited ep tomorrow and possibly on Thurs as well. Then we should be back to watching full eps I believe.
I wonder if we'll get the full two hour gran finale or if we will get an edited finale.

Wait, so after months if begging them to, Uni only starts editing this in the last weeks? How does that make sense?
Anyway, I saw Blanca's dress on my way out to yoga and I approved. I wish I had also seen Esme's dress, but I guess it might not be the final one if Gi is out to ruin the wedding.

Gracias, Sara! Damn, they jammed a lot into one episode--I think I have whiplash. Thank you for covering everything succinctly. It really covers not just the events, but how quickly they flew past.
I would like to fire whoever made the consistent decision to speed past all the really big events while dragging out all the BS boring stuff.
I want to be Erika Buenfil when I grow up. Both her dresses were gorgeous, but I think the mother-of-the-bride pink was my favorite.
As for Esme's dress, it was lovely, but I didn't see any point to that sash. Last-minute spill, maybe? Or last-minute alterations? But in-character, the only reason I can see for it is maybe she was trying to honor that Pablo's family was in mourning.
I'm really starting to worry about what they're going to subject us to for another week and a half.

I took a look at some scenes that were cut from tonight. We did see two eps in one - 110 and 111.
At the face off, Tilico tells the detective to forget all about the cabareta of Jarocha because she should be dead by now. Pablo and Esme show up after the cops show up. Tilico prefers to die than to go back to jail. He puts the gun to his head and Esme screams Nooooooooo. They never do show him pulling the trigger.
As we saw Jarocha was with Rita and Cha Cha when Rita went to leave flowers at Tilico's grave. There Jarocha admits to Rita that she learned to like her. Rita calls her Jarochita so I guess Rita learned to like her too.
Pablo proposes to Esme. He gives her two photos. One photo is of them kissing. Then on the other photo the ring is taped to the back. Esme accepts of course. She says something about wanting to go back to the place where they kissed to formally accept.
Aguie wasn't feeling well. He was in his bed. Lo shows up and is pissed because her sons don't want to forgive her. Aguie tells Lorenza that he isn't feeling well. She doesn't give a crap and tells him to die. She wants him to go to hell so he won't ever rest in peace. After this scene they showed the scene where Aguie dies all alone.
Dr. Javier accepts some job offer in Germany. Manuel will be in charge of the institute. He will go and say goodbye to Esme.
Damian had gone to see Icky to warn her about Gi. Damina thinks Gi may want to harm Icky since Icky was a witness Damian had planned to use.
In a later scene Damian and Icky are talking at El Sil's place. The two are friends. Dr. Javier shows up. Icky is surprised to see her. Dr. Javier tells her that he's going to Germany. Icky wishes him all the best and hugs him. Damian is looking a little jealous. Later Damian tells Icky that he likes her and asks for an opportunity to court her.
Thats all I saw. If you want to watch the complete eps you can find them on YT.

Sara, your visceral hatred of this novela is more than palpable.
I feel somewhat guilty expecting you to fulfill obligations that you made well before you realized that you were imbroglioed (is that a word??) in the mess that, as you've made abundantly clear, you now find yourself in...
As it stands, I derive no pleasure from your recaps, which only leave me with an overwhelming abundance of guilt at the fact that I am, in some ways, still enjoying myself here... apparently, I am missing out on something. I think that you need relief from your recapping duties here- unless you're an absolute masochist, I can't understand why you continue to subject yourself to something you (apparently) find so insulting, and disgusting.
That being said then, can we perhaps take a vote as to whether we can mercifully relieve Sara of her recapping duties here? She obviously despises what she is doing... and I, for one, would much rather experience this on my own, or with, perhaps, the company of such benighted, ignorant souls who can find some pleasure and enjoyment out of this, apparent, 'dreck', than be reminded that we're utter fools for not despising this every moment that its on.
Thank you. And I look forward to your feedback. I (I am ASHAMED to admit on here) ENJOY 'La Gata'... Sara, obviously, does not. Why, then, should we continue to subject her to such obvious torture? I know that I am getting nothing from this...
Sincerely.

Back off, Anon. You're free to enjoy it and nobody would have said a thing about it or criticized you for it. What you're not free to do is come here and bad-mouth the recappers.
Sara, delete the comment and perhaps Anon would be willing to give it another go and just express their enjoyment for the show without the rest of it.

Hear, hear Kat!!
Though I understand Anon's frustration, still, Sara and all the other recappers put themselves on the line- for good AND for ill- for OUR benefit. And thanks to them. Perhaps if 'Anon' would be willing to step up and do HALF the work Sara has done for us with this novela, then maybe I could give her argument more credence.
As it stands- THANK YOU, SARA!!! And keep up the good work!

Wow, as a long time commenter here let me say that I appreciate EVERY RECAP that is written on Caray Caray. Some I skim over more quickly than others. Sara's recaps are among those that I read word for word. Her sense of humor laced with snark is spot on (for me). Don't change a thing Sara--you are a treasure!
Mauricio, thanks so much for filling in the missing/cut scenes. I kept thinking "whaaaa...???" Jarocha's rescue, Tilico's death, Augie's demise (not with a bang but a whimper, darn it!) all went speeding by as if they were happening in dog-years. And dang, bad news from the Doc about Virginia.
By the way, Gisela sloshes gasoline all around outside the entrance to the church, roughly in a circle. Then she stands INSIDE the circle of gasoline and flicks her lighter. If she sets it off, the end of this TN could come sooner than we think.
J in Oregon

Hi, Anon@10:51. I am glad that you enjoy watching a show with bad editing, impossibly convoluted plots, and improbable motives. I congratulate you on your discerning literary tastes.
I would like to suggest, however, that your enjoyment of this series could have been accomplished without attacking the opinions and the efforts of someone who has faithfully helped us understand what happened in this unfolding disaster, and shared with us our amazement at the rough handling of what could have been an enjoyable series.
Just about any opinion would be welcomed here except attacking our dear recappers.
In short, why don't you make a leaping sexual advance upon a rolling circular pastry.
Thank you Sara. I love your coverage and your snark, and your consternation with this series.
David

Sigh.
I probably shouldn't respond.
Anon- I am sorry you do not like my recaps. I am not sure there has ever been a call to vote out a recapper. I almost feel as if I've made Caray history.
Anyone who wants to can recap. It's not an exclusive club and you may have noticed it's difficult to get full teams together. I hope no one sees your comment and decides not to ever recap for fear of someone saying "I hate your recap."
I am perfectly willing to hand over my last three La Gata recaps to you. Please contact Kat.
Steven, Kat and J- thank you for your support.

J in Oregon- I had a similar thought about the lighter and gasoline. I thought there was no way she could get away fast enough and now that you've called attention to the fact that she's INSIDE the gasoline circle (soon to become a Ring of Fire) I wonder is we will get a flaming anvil. Talk about Burnin' Love. I can't wait to see what Kat does with it.
Kat- I am very nervous about the next week and a half. If they are giving us action that usually occurs in the last 2 episode, we are in for a boring denouement.

Please forgive me Mauricio- thank you for filling in the lost scenes. You are a life saver! I'm glad we aren't getting three in ones like Reina.
Sara, I'll follow you anywhere. I dig every word and how they're strung together, so phooey on any recall effort.
On a separate note:
"Sometimes I wonder if Lo's classist rants are loosely based on things Latoodle said in production meetings."
I have always thought the same with Latoodle abominations. The endless stereotypical "flash" rants thinly veil the flesh & blood contempt of the author and the patronizing tone toward the intended audience.
Oh my, could they be trying to put this thing out of its misery by this Friday?
I'm glad Augies dead
I'm pissed Lo got a pass (My panties are in a knot Esmeralda interceded, but no surprise she is her fathers daughter)
I'm pleased Jarocha has someone that wants her

Thanks tofie.
Lo has flip flopped so many times that I think she's faking. She'll get Esme to trust her and then try again to get rid of her. Hopefully David and gringo can create an anvil worthy of her.

A message to Anon@10:50, if you don't like the recappers opinion then don't bother reading it. Bottom line is the show sucks and the recapper has the right to voice their opinion while recapping, if you don't like it, too damn bad.
As far as this "show" goes, I believe that Esme is truly a dunce. You want a woman who tried to kill your children at your wedding? Am I missing something here?
Also, isn't that church made of blocks of stone? How are they going to burn it? It looks like she poured gasoline on the outside, so as long as they stay in the church, they should be ok.

I am hoping that Gisela accidentally sloshed some of that gasoline on herself, and will go out in a blaze of gory (I did not misspell that).

Hmmm...seems that we have a troll on the loose...or perhaps Anon is, in fact, the director or one of the writers. Sara,..THANK YOU..I love your snappy recaps. I can no longer stand watching this hot mess, but I am amazed that you can and continue to recrap this crap. I did surf in long enough to see Marcelo holding Miss Kitty's hand and handsome Dan and beautiful Maite at the altar . I also saw Gi dressed like a bag lady splashing gasoline around ..shout out to The Doors....come on, Baby, light my fire. thanks, Sara, you are a real trooper hanging in the the way you do. I am grateful. Let's hope that the next tn is a good one.

Thanks, susanlynn!
I liked your description of this thing going down hill on a cardboard sled.
Loved the shout out to the Doors!
What are some other flaming song titles?
Great Balls of Fire!
Dan and Esme did look lovely at the altar. Maite is, to me, one of those actresses that pulls off any wedding dress you put her in.

Thanks for the wonderful recap!
This show was so chopped and so many big event scenes thrown in I wondered if it was going to end last night.
I'm surprised they cut the proposal scene and I must admit I was wondering how they finally came back together.
Esme is so stupid, not leaving the house for Fer's and asking that Lo be forgiven, again. I hate shows with stupid heroines and galans and this show is just like CI. Bad decisions over and over and over. I wish this show was ending this Friday.
I would have liked to have seen the Damien and Vicky scenes. Damien def deserves some happiness for all the work he has done on some many behalves.
Wish Mariano had found some happiness but I think it may be too late. Hopefully they can throw a girl in there at the last minute.

I would have liked to have seen the Damien and Vicky scenes. Damien def deserves some happiness for all the work he has done on some many behalves.
Wish Mariano had found some happiness but I think it may be too late. Hopefully they can throw a girl in there at the last minute.
Sara, mi amiga, I LOVE the recaps. The show sucks, but the recaps are the reason I keep meeting all of you on the patio every day. THANK YOU for each and every recap all of you post. Please know they are much appreciated. I will miss you all when La Gata is over.

Sara, THANK YOU, DE VERDAD for this and EVERY recap you have done for this show. I love them when they're bullet points and am in awe of your ability to summarize, yet hit all the important points and even make sense of this, YES, DRECK. I love your more detailed ones and aspire to imitate the spark of snark you ignite them all with!
As a matter of fact, out of solidarity with this recapping team, into which I was warmly welcomed after the show had gotten underway, and in support of all our dedicated, faithful and witty viewers and commenters, I am watching each and every show right to the end.
Eli, I watched yesterday, your recapped ROCKED and the comments were off the chain funny and on point as usual! Thank you!
I am proud to be a member of this recapping team. This was my first steady recapping gig and I appreciate all the members of the La Gata community.
Thank you, Mauricio, for filling in the blanks and thank all of you all who appreciate and defend our efforts. Thank you all, and thank you Sara for this slammin' recap!

Things that are still bugging me this morning, bugging me even more this morning than they were last night, and/or unanswered questions (some of which were already brought up in the recap):
-Why did Tilico have it out for Esme. Not just with the Juan Garza business, but with the earlier "If he escapes from jail, Esme is in danger!" that we heard waaaaay back in the beginning.
-How the heck did Lo find out about him and decide he'd be able to help them? (And why am I assuming there IS a reason?)
-What happened to Tilico wanting revenge on Augie and not wanting to turn him in for murdering Garabato's parents just so he could get revenge himself?
-What was up with the surprise Garabato, aka Victor, said he had for everyone? I gather it had something to do with getting his assets back, but nothing happened.
-Could they not even be bothered to come up with an actual disease for Virginia? And why did they go with "degenerative"? Don't they know that means "she's just going to keep getting worse"? What are her current symptoms? Doesn't the production staff know how to Google?
-Why is Gi wearing a hat? Does LaToodle have a thing for hats?

Thank you J, David, Bryan, Susanlynn, Carvivlie, emeraldrose
Mauricio, thanks for filling us in on the cut scenes. Certainly, last night we could already tell that some things were being left out. I wonder if there will be more tonight. Or maybe they just expected us not to care about things like the disappearance of Doc Javier.
tofie, it does feel like they're rushing towards the end. I'm very concerned, given the current track record, that they're going to miss the mark yet again on what works better rushed and what works better dragged out. A lot of what was cut tonight was more important to the plot than what was shown yesterday with the endless flashbacks. I mean, yeah, all episode to tell us Tilico is no good...and then we don't see his end.
J, Bryan, and Sara, let me add that to the things that bug me about Gi...she's out there doing an interpretive dance outside the church where Pablo and Esme are getting married, and no one thought that maybe, just maybe, they needed to post guards?
Sara, Great Balls of Fire is what we would have gotten if Lo were wearing yesterday's necklace and fought Gi for control of the lighter!
Carvivlie, no joke, Mariano has been one of the more interesting characters, but he gets no love interest. And we're running out of weddings at which to introduce a last-minute love interest!
Lila, I'm so happy you joined the team!

Well with Mariano refusing to sully himself with Gisela, his only chance so far, and his undying chaste love for Esmeralda, he can only hope Pablo and Esmeralda will let him watch once....or twice.
Esmeralda has babies, not seen a DNA test yet to prove Pablo related, and though I love cats, you can't be surprised if they roam at night and bring something unexpected home.
*gasp* Are you besmirching Principe's name?
Principe needs a love interest. And more scenes. Maybe we'll get "The Principe Show" for the last week. I'm just going to hold onto that thought until they burst my bubble tonight.

Its too bad Mariano and Monica couldn't have fallen for each other. Mariano and Monica...has a nice ring to it.
I can see the last scene of this novela being Pablo and Esme each holding a baby while Principe nurses her litter. (I'm assuming Esme was wrong on the sex of the cat. I mean she has been wrong on a lot of things! ;))

She did name the cat when she was very young, so I wouldn't be entirely surprised.
There could still be time for Monica and Mariano, though add that to the list of unexplained occurrences...what has Monica been doing all this time, besides learning how to hit people over the head with heavy objects and make rational decisions like calling the cops on the guy who was trying to kill her mother? She still needs to work on her spine, though. If she had called the cops, she would have saved us some pointless "drama."

Sara- thank you for the recap, I depend on them, especially now that I don't have cable!
Anon- recapping is hard work when you have a good show to work with, but when you have a bad one it is a nightmare. We all try to have fun here-if you like the show, more power to you, considering it is entertainment you should be able to enjoy it,but the truth is this show is lame. And it could have been better-and we should be able to say that. Gringo likes the show and has been a strong supporter, and never once has any one put him down for it. We don't vote anyone off the island, we stick this out together to the bitter end.
Please also remember that we spend a lot of time working on the recaps, on average I spend three hours on mine-longer if I'm recapping a drama, I sometimes go to bed way late to make it happen or wake up very early to work on them, and I do it gladly because I love this community, but it is not easy work, and if someone produces something this crappy I will point it out. We can enjoy the show together and mock it together, but we don't pick on each other.
Sara, I for one love your recaps and thank you for the time and effort you put into them!

Oh, never Principe, but the other un. Lawd, growing up we had a lovely female cat that seemed to spit out kittens like an assembly line. As a little girl, I couldn't get my head around letting the cat out at night to go potty resulted in kittens. I looked.
I dunno, tofie. She's barely shown an interest in Pablo, let alone any other guys. There's just zero sex on this show. Lorenza getting all hot and bothered over Fernando is as close as we've gotten.
Yep, what gives. Augie dies with Rose Bud on his lips, Lo 50 shades greyer in the presence of studly Fernando, Gisela dry humping Pablo and Mariano, that's it.
That's right...Gi has been lusty. I just try to block out anything involving Gi!
And I guess Ines was all hot for Garabato, once upon a time.
And I guess Ines was all hot for Garabato, once upon a time.
Oh yeah, Ines and the pleasure she got over beating the John she drugged and Meatballs rapey attempts at seduction of Esmeralda.
OH MY! Controversy on the patio.
A happy recap or one that is filled with rage is still helpful to my/our understanding of the show that I as well as others have chosen to watch. Work goes into each recap weather or not the recapper likes the episode or not and therefor I must say thank you to Sara for being a champion and trudging through even though you would rather not. A commitment fulfilled deserves praise regardless if it is mixed with rage or not.
I myself am not filled with rage over La Gata but will say that Ms.
Latoodle-oo should either retire or look for another line of work.
La Gata was not well written, it
could have been but there was still enough to keep the gringo coming back night after night. When La Gata is finally over, I have to say that I will miss the opening intros. There were two of them and I found them both to be very enjoyable. I will miss Maite the beautiful raven haired goddess
and her beautiful opening theme song. The two young actors who played the young Esme and Pablo will be missed too. Yes and I hope
that I will be able to see Principe again somewhere. I will miss the dump, (never thought that I would see that in a novela)
the mansions, the babies, Augie's
rough voice along with his drunken stupors.(thank you David for helping him along in this regard) There are a lot of things that I will miss and no, I am not filled with rage but would whole heartedly admit that La Gata could have been better.
Thanks again Sara for trudging through.

Just swinging by to thank everyone! Don't have much time today.
Y'all are on ..er...FIRE today! I'm enjoying the comments.
gringo-Despite my rage, I will still miss this show. I love Maite and I've loved the company.
I already miss Augie and his spinning chair :-(
I agree that there is still time for Monica and Mariano. I'll keep my fingers crossed.

gringo, I hope we don't have to miss Maite for long. She's so much better than this show. I hope to see her again in something more worthy.
With rage, discord and contr0versity out on the patio today I haven't even gotten to my comments yet. It's late so I will make it short, or shorter than usual.
Really bad editing from Uni. I know that the Gata crowd wants this one over with but cutting a novela to pieces whether it's a good show or not is wrong, just wrong. I firing off my displeasure to Univision.
Didn't realize that G was pouring the gasoline all around herself in her effort to burn down the church that the wedding is taking place in.If she dies tonight, with
Pablo's great knowledge and artistic ability, he could take over the art gallery.
Gata a dumbass? PLEEEASE!!! Esmeralda is a goddess sent down to earth from heaven. She is not used to life on earth. An earthly existence is all new to her. Sure she will make a few mistakes but name calling won't help. Maite needs some calm loving advise to help her transition smoothly into an earthly existence. All she needs is love. The gringo can help
Thanks Mauricio for filling us in.

Anon @ Tue10:51 - Your comment against the recaps were WAY OUT of line. Sara and the rest of the recapping team have all done a marvelous job with all their recaps. You can enjoy the show all you want but you don't have to be mean about it.
This TN could have been better but sadly it wasn't. As was said earlier by someone this novela turned out to be one of those shows that can be watched while doing other things. There was no need to pay close attention to every single detail because it was bound to be repeated again by someone. It also needed more action.
There were some good things about it though that I did enjoy like crazy Gisela, Augie, and Lorenza. I also enjoyed what we saw of Virginia and Carlo's romance. I also liked Omar and Vero who seem to have disappeared. Jarocha was also a great character and I wish she would have been given a better storyline besides being Esme's friend.

I agree gringo. Uni is the worst. This just proves that they don't have respect for any show whether it has good ratings or not. They'll cut whatever they want and not care about the viewers. Shame on them!

Jarocha is awesome and love her. If there is anyone that had a horrible life it was her and yet, she's not petty or hateful or a bummer to be around. She's funny and thoughtful and childlike honest even after seeing what shit the world can dish. It was so sweet, when the PI kissed her after disclosing he knew she WAS a bargirl, she was tentative, wanting to respond for once in her life.
I sort of watched the show last night.If it were not for the recap, I would have no idea what was going on, so please keep up the recap until the bitter end -- which is soon!
I thought I spotted Principe's tail going up Esme's stairs while the humans continued their endless hand-wringing about everything.

Pablo has just finished writing his first book, boy can he multi-task.
Oh, and lest we forget, what about Dorila's big secret that is making her wake up with nightmares?
But the most puzzling as someone pointed out: how did Lo manage to find a prisoner from the dump (Tilico) plus a judge who could be bought?
I have gotten into the habit of thinking these non-sequiters are due to my lack of cognitive powers, but maybe it's just bad writing?

Oh, J, it's not your lack of cognitive powers making such a mess of things. I'd forgotten about Pablo's book...or rather, I thought Pablo had forgotten about it, so I forgot about it. It was supposed to be Gi's hotshot brother helping Pablo with his book. I wonder if she made him up, if he's a figment of her imagination, or if he's totally really and totally a hotshot book publisher and he prefers not to spend time with her!
Anon at 3:33 I wouldn't be surprised if Principe got the hell out of there to have a nap while the humans freaked out.
tofie, add that to the list of "there is no sex on this show." I could have sworn Jarocha was an ex-prostitue, but instead they called her a "bargirl" and acted like that was some kind of horrible profession that she would be ashamed to have revealed. Either way, Jarocha needs a happy ending, for sure. Girlfriend has earned it.

Since the book is the story of Pablo & Esmeralda wonder how he handled the period he couldn't remember anybody? Or, since this probably a Dick & Jane reader, you know sliding down a hill, with Principe running after, how does he tactfully handle nearly marrying Monica with Jarocha bouncing a child he refused to acknowledge or Esmeralda's kidnapping and attempted rape?
I used "bargirl" because in my travels and volunteer work in third world countries it usually is a euphemism for a prostitute.
Given all that, tofie, it's a wonder his mind didn't just permanently protect him by never letting him remember all that in the first place.
Nice try, LaToodle, trying to pass yourself off as Anon 10:51! But we're onto you.
If reading Sara's 're-craps is wrong, I don't wanna be right!
Oh, and I laughed so hard I nearly had a "drink through the nose moment" when delusional Rita said at her darling son's "funeral" that "at least now he is where he should be, peacefully resting with DIOS NUESTRO SENOR!!" Excuse me, WHAAT!??!!

"cabaretera" Same thing. It makes me sad many times how they end up there, sometimes a choice sometimes made for them, just like Jarocha.
David, I don't understand your 06:23 comment "In short, why don't you make a leaping sexual advance upon a rolling circular pastry."
Why is it that even the slightest criticism of an established clique brings in a comment that is either sexual, racial or just plain hatred.
Anon 10:51's comment was a criticism and not any of the above but the followup comment/attacks were brutal.
I shouldn't be surprised because I got the same treatment from the clique of 6 whose comments dominate this board and throws the book at anyone who doesn't praise a recapper regardless of how bad the recap is.
Threats to discontinue recapping don't hurt those of us who could care less for your personal pain and suffering. But if you want to bite off your nose to bite your face go right ahead. Glad I could help.
By the way, I am not Anon 10:51 but I support his/her comment. ms 5ft who loves to stir the pot and jump to everyone
s defense suggested that Sara delete the comment. I'm glad Sara didn't. But just to be on the safe side I've copied and pasted the comment into my word processor so that I could repost it each and every time.
Is it really being fair and honest to expect only positive and glowing comments on a public blog?

True, tofie, it is sad. And Jarocha has no reason to feel ashamed for doing what she needed to do to pay the bills. I'm glad the PI didn't make a stink over it, but then, I didn't think he would.
"Is it really being fair and honest to expect only positive and glowing comments on a public blog?" Well, no, it's not. It's also not being fair or honest to expect only positive and glowing recaps. Say whatever you want about the show. Love it, hate it, be confused, what ever. Keep the personal attacks to yourself.
And once again, to quote Chris Ferro, "We love to mock here, don't mistake it for real hate!"

Sue, it is perfectly fine if Anon does not like the recaps, but we do not pick on each other. This is a wonderful community, in large part because we don't fight with one another, we disagree a lot of times, and we may have heated discussions but we never cross the line into personal attacks.
We recap at the cost of many hours, hours in which we could be doing anything. I work 10-12 days, and still go home and recap, why? Because I enjoy Caray Caray. The purpose of the recaps is to do just that-recap the episode. Sara's recap did the job-and yeah, her dislike for the show comes across loud and clear, but it's a stupid show and someone has to say so.
If anyone enjoys La Gata, good for them, we welcome their comments and insights, no one called Annon10 stupid for liking the show because we can all respect the fact that someone might enjoy it.

Esme and Pablo will hold hands and take strolls in the dump. Forget the park. Forget going out to eat. The dump will be their place when they are looking for some romantic time.
With Valentines Day coming up I guess most couples will be taking strolls at the dump. It is the place to be for romance I guess. LOL

Couldn't disagree with you more Sue. Anon was attacking with his/her comments, those weren't criticisms. Sounds like you have a personal grudge of your own.

I love this blog. English recaps of Spanish novelas. I was so thrilled when I stumbled across it a few years ago, during LQNPA. If the recaps weren't full of snark I don't think they would be enjoyable! I am thankful for the opportunity to enjoy these writers' talents that they donate for free to this community. And the commenting community is friendly and clean, not like YouTube or other sites that are so negative. I think it's worth defending. But not by paying with the same coin, just by gentle admonition and also elegant silence. Just my two cents! Thank you recappers and viewerville.

Can someone please, please, please give Jarocha a good makeover? Something that involves an actual hair style? Pretty please?

That suddenly made me wonder what he wears for his singing gigs. And why we never got to see any of them *sob*
I blame the out-of-tune guitar.

Mauricio - may I respectfully disagree? I don't want Garabato's locks cut. But I would like to see them styled and tamed somehow. (see Flavio on Tierra de Reyes... mmmm)
Garabato's hair is problematic. Sometimes I like it, sometimes I don't. Definitely, I don't like it when he wears the hat that smashes it all down. I like that he's showing off some curl. I don't like that it gets in his face and doesn't seem to be a very flattering shape.
I just had this mental image of Pablo poking his head in to say "It's HAIR WAX! And my stylist says I look GREAT!"
And, no, Victor cannot use the same stuff in his hair. Because curls. And if he tried to copy Pablo he'd end up looking like Lucille Ball. Just scrunch and air dry, Victor...trust me.

While we're at it, why don't we give Rita a scrunchie so she can at least get that bruja hair out of her face? With all her money ('cause she sure hasn't spent that much of it) she can at afford to get her hair "did" at least once in a while, que no?

The "dumpster chic" look with dirty face, messy hair...and sequinned cardigan on Rita just...I don't know whether to laugh or gape or what. Where is all her money? Where is she stashing it? She does realize she can't take it with her, right?
Glad to see the kurfuffal has calmed down. Hate to see nasty comments about our recappers. You peeps all rock, I will look forward to meeting with you all until the bitter end.

Rita mentioend going to the bank once to get it. I was surprised she even knew what one was. I always thought of her as the kind of person that kept her money under the mattress.
She has spent a large amount I think. She payed off that dude that was supposed to help Ines escape from prison but ended up conning her. Cha Cha also made her give up some of her money to El Sil to help him pay off Damian's hospital bills.

Rita trusts a bank with her money? Yeah, that is weird. I had forgotten that when she gave Fernando the money for Damian's treatment, she did it with a check that ChaCha had already pre-filled for her. Good times. Good times.
Plans for the Fin party...booze. What? That's not a plan?

Diva and Mau: I guess she's holding on to what she has left, after all, seis millones (which is what she won) comes out to only $403,000US, and she DID try to buy that apartment and hired a chauffeur. I wonder if she got any money back when they kicked her out? Even so, she can still spend $3.99 for some hair clips and $4.99 for a cheap hairbrush (are there any Wal-Marts or 99¢ stores in Mexico)!

Glittery t-shirts, at that!
I'm sure she has enough for a cheap hair clip, but I suddenly felt sad for her. I always had the impression she was sending every cent she had to Tilico in prison and now he's gone. I'm sure she'll do something tacky tonight and I'll get over it.

So, the hair thing: "the scrunchie must die", yes, but only the side-saddle scrunchie. Ponytail would be okay.
Also, if I were convinced Garabato/Victor was going to survive the finale, I would then feel free to worry about his hair.
Just sayin'.
