Pasión y Poder #5 Mon 20151109 Get Off My Lawn Ya Dirty Mariachis and Take that Cheatin' SOB with Ya!
Labels: poder
I only watched the first ep of this and was bored by it, but you've no doubt made this more entertaining than it was. Connie sitting on Regina's bed with no underwear...yuck and eww and so funny.
So was it not rather fun to see a different Eladio last night. There was the FC we know and love, Mr. Smooth Moves. So even though he's a baddie, I like seeing the change and layered character much better than angry all the time. Now the fact that Julia seemed to fall for it hook line and sinker sort had me perplexed, but I think the poor woman is grabbing at any straw she can get after 20 years of abuse. Sad to see someone get excited about ordering her own food?!?!?!?!
Was none too pleased at the David/Daniela hook up, but pretty much figured they would go there so the two sisters can fight over the guy. (Lord, he is pretty.) Anyhoo, Gina had me a tad worried there with that creepy stalker of an ex, but so glad she threw him to the curb as soon as her Skank-ho mother was out of the room. '
And what is with Miguel? I don't understand why he is such an odd man out, even with his father. back story please.
So, wonder who we see without clothes tonight? Seems to be a running theme.

"70’s porn music begins"
Nina - "What are you wearing Jake at State Farm?"
Ratt - "Round And Round" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0u8teXR8VE4
Joshua - not fair, it was a trick question
Miguel - NEET "Not in Education, Employment, or Training"
Eladio - then you turn the toast over and butter the other side of the bread
Julia - how about my chastity belt?
Daniela - eat, drink and be merry for tomorrow you may not be able to get into this teeny weeny bikini
Regina - coming from you, surprised the roses aren't fake
"Just in case he didn’t get that big hint, she turns and offers him her butt in some sort of spastic “I think I’m really sexy, but I’m not”, mating dance" was my favorite but " his filthy thoughts are only for his side piece, Montseratt (Ratt)" and "Erick isn’t craving cherry underwear, but he is certainly out tomcattin’ around and getting him some Ratt tail" were close behind.
Agree with you daisy that at least we get to see a little dimension to Eladio. It was calming and reassuring to see Colunga slip seamlessly into his good guy persona, even if a faked one.
There have been some comments about the lack of chemistry among the leads and I concur. Arturo clearly does not love Nina and his physical response to her seems rather mechanical. Julia has been abused for so many years by Eladio, I was surprised she seemed to forgive rather rapidly. I'm sure he will shatter her world rather quickly.
I am interested to see what sparks Julia and Arturo generate.
Connie was rather pathetic. I like her but she has no self respect and groveling to the unworthy Erick is beneath her.
"Who the Hell are These People and Why Are They In This Telenovela"? Yeah, I don't get these people either. Sorry...
Diana
I'm not buying Eladio's BS. Having been in an emotionally abusive relationship I know that's all it is. It's a manipulation and in two or three episodes he'll be back to control freak and escalate that to rage monster once again. It's a ploy to make Julia think it's all her fault. He will ultimately insult her womanhood (Not that he hasn't already before the curtain went up) and she will fall for that and end up depressed.
I love mariachi music, but would be extremely uncomfortable at this gesture even if I was madly in love with the guy and he were a prince. This scene makes me wonder what the etiquette is when you want nothing more to do with the creep who is paying the musicians. My gut says you just don't go to the window and that Nina knows that.
Nina's determination to force Regina to marry Joshua is disturbing, but I will say more about that later.
Daniela is a skank-ho and she will pay for that sooner or later.
More later. My stomach's acting up.
Brilliance, sheer brilliance tofie.
Connie's anxiety and need to have a child are tied to her own upbringing. She's desperate for a family, someone to care for and love, which I'm guessing is something she never had. The fact that she is married to a cretin like Erick makes it sadder but she most likely is afraid to make waves for fear of finding herself abandoned again, literally. I wish she would listen to her friend and Miguel and get out and find something outside those walls to do. She most likely has zero self worth for all her former success and looks. She's like this little wisp that just floats in and out of everyone's lives there.
One thing made me laugh last night, as Nina was trying so valiently to get herself some from Artie, no matter what she did, her hair didn't really seem to move. Only in mass, like one big glob. She must have enough product on that mane to keep nary a hair out of place. No wonder he's not turned on. I mean, really, you want to run your fingers through that gloop?
Daisynjay
Great list, Tofie!
I get Connie's desperation but she needs to recover her self-respect and get out of this hellhole Nina is running.
Tofie..I always love your lists.
So...how are the writers explaining ELOUDio getting less loud? Is he on Zanex now?...bipolar? It is not believable that after 20 years of loud and bossy and violent that Julia is falling for Suddenly Senor Nice Guy.
Having two daughters,I have to laugh at Nina thinking that she can make Reg marry Joshua. HAHAHA
And Art calling Julia???? Yeah, that's a good idea. I loved the "Jake at State Farm" comment.
I guess that so far the only link between the pobrecitos and the Rich and Meaningless is Clara being Consuela's bff and cleaning lady at Francisco's office.
I think what happened in the Nina/Arturo/Miguel scene is Nina came in and insulted Miguel as usual, but this time Arturo told her to stop insulting Miguel. After she left, Miguel told Arturo that was the first time he had ever stood up for him against Nina and wanted to know why he let Nina mistreat him all those years & why he (Arturo) ignored him, first with nannies, then with Nina. Then before Art could come up with something Miguel flounced out of the room.
Gaby's not trying to be Franco's jumpoff anymore and insists he tells his intentions towards her to Eladio & Julia.
I have no idea why Art thinks it's a good idea to call Julia in her home, that she shares with his worst enemy, her HUSBAND. Seriously, dude? I did laugh when Nina took the phone out of Art's hands to confirm he was indeed speaking to Agustin. We've seen hints and flashes of her jealous nature. Things are going to get really ugly once she realizes she has competition for Art's affections in Julia.
I was glad Regina stuck to her guns, even getting Josh to finally confess to the kiss, but she was wise enough to act civil when Nina was in the room. By the way she was drooling over that photo of David, I don't think Josh stands a chance anymore.
I'm not sure how David will make the awkward transition from Daniella to Regina, once he learns Regina is free and single. Even though he and Dani said no strings attached, you just don't boink two sisters. It's bad manners.
Does everyone in the house have to know that she’s in heat and ready to procreate?
Well, everyone in this show is always dressed up, so….they may have just been watching television and decided to hit the hay.
I should have sympathy for Consuelo, but she's so annoying announcing her fertile time just before she tries to bed Erick, when she knows it turns him off. Puzzled how Arturo smelled something on Erick post-Monteserrat but Consuelo didn't. Putting on beanie.
Surprised that Julia seemed moved by the calmer, caring Eladio. She must love this man a weebit. Kudos to him for giving her a gentle kiss and then not trying to have sex with her. Very smooth. Too bad that doofus Arturo has called the house to upset Eladio's fake new groove.
Have to admit right now I'm interested in all the characters. Nobody's perfect. In her own way, Nina is as controlling as Eladio.
Art's sniff was what I was expecting a few days ago after Erick had just left and Eladio popped in at Ratt's house. Don't dogs mark their territory
Daniela is a younger version of Nina (if Nina had grown up rich), which is what Nina wanted from both her daughters. That is one of the reasons she is trying to force this marriage.
Unless he isn't Arturo's child. He certainly doesn't look like him, but that doesn't mean anything.
The actor playing Erick is probably more than 25 as well, but this short age difference is nothing new anymore. Michelle Renaud (Regina) is actually 27, which makes her only 12 years younger than Marlene Favela (Nina) and 20 years younger than Jorge Salinas (Arturo).
Ages of our four older lead characters:
Fernando C/Eladio: 49
Jorge S./Arturo: 47
Susana G/Julia: 42
Malene F/Nina: 39
Ages of the "kids":
Alejandro N/Erick: 39 (same age as his "mother")
Juama M/Miguel: 29 (note, he's supposed to be older than Erick)
Michelle R./Regina: 27
Jose Pablo M./David: 24
Irina B/Daniela: ?
Thanks for the reminder Vivi on Gina's attitude about why she stuck with that loser Josh. Nina and her "Be a tramp like me and I'll love you to pieces" is a sad thing to impose on someone like Gina. She's not lacking in looks or figure (as noted by her jammies last night---who sleeps in something like that???), but heaven forbid she insists on using her smarts. Gather Nina is no Einstein, and to her, that's like an insult to have Gina throw at her that Nina's way is not the "right" way to be in their society. Nice she has the support of her father to be independent.
That said, I think seeing Julia and seeing what Eladio did in using his son maybe is waking Artie up to being more aware of his kids. Let's hope anyway.
Daisynjay
In LI, the Salma/Emiliano age difference was explained as Salma taking very good care of herself and Salma not being Emi's bio mom.
In Amor Bravo, Isadora/Flavio M. character's age discrepancy was again explained as 1) Isadora taking real good care of herself; 2) Isadora not being Flavio M character's bio mom.
In this case, the miscast isn't the Nina actress; Nina is probably supposed to be mid 40s. The actress is portraying someone only a few years older than she is. The miscast is ERIK & Consuelo. Erik & Consuelo should be played by younger actors --the other Montenegro kids could be Arturo/Arturo & Nina's children --even 27 year old Michelle Renaud could technically be Marlene Favela's bio child if Marlene had her at 12 ...which unfortunately can & has happened.
*I can't remember if Jauma M. wore glasses as David in LFDD, but if he didn't, they probably have him wearing those heavy framed glasses to make him appear older than Erik.
It ain't working.
At any rate, Agustin & Miguel are getting my motors running...Agustin for the gray sexy and Miguel for the nerdy chic.
Interesting that Arturo smelled something bad on Erick. I see a confrontation in their future about him cheating on Consuelo. This shows that Erick isn't smart enough to take a shower right after banging the ho, but I'll bet Eladio is.
So Julia and Eladio only did it once in the last 20 years? Maybe that's why he got so crazy...I wonder how many lovers he had before Ratt? (Perfect nickname, btw)
Julia falling for Eladio 's charm can only be explained by two things :
1. she's starving for affection
2.hé looks like FC
Let's see how long he can keep up the act.
Also loved thé lingerie bits. Lol
Wow, what a difference it is when Eladio isn't angry all the time. I doubt this will last long but it is nice seeing him more clam and acting sort of normal. And it was nice to see that he let Julia order her own food.
Hahaha, Nina, Consuelo, Eladio, and Franco didn't get any loving last night. While David, Daniela, Erick, and Montserrat did. Interesting. They are sure living up to "Pasion" part of the title with some of these couples at least.
It cracked me up when we saw Regina putting a pillow over her ear so she would not have to hear the serenade that Joshua brought her. Finally, he admits that there was a kiss between him and Daniela. It was about time.
David was a disappointment giving into Daniela's "reward". Yuck, hopefully we won't have to see that again.
I know it was uncouth of me and totally inappropriate, after giggling and nodding as I read through the recap, I got to this line and had to let out a guffaw: "He moves in for a kiss, but tells that he will not rape her for the second time in 20 years and she thanks him for restraining himself and not raping her for the second time in 20 years."
Tuesday mornings will be a Sweet Treat indeed. More later.
Your avid reader,
Anita (whose memory of you goes back to El Tal-early days and AV)
Daisynjay: Thanks. From what I can gather, Art cheated on Julia and made Miguel. That's why art is just not that into him. Miguel is the reason that he lost Julia.
tofie: I forgot about Jake from State Farm. That's funny. I wish I would have thought of that. What guy sits around in a silk robe and silk pajamas. Auggie even dresses up for bed.
Diana: If I were a guy, I think that Connie would get on my nerves as well. She's a little too obsessed with babies. He's wrong, but she makes him feel like a piece of meat.
Urban Anthropologist: I hate mariachi music because when I went to La Paz, the mariachi's distracted me with pleasant music while I was served 9 jello shots. Let's just say, that I barely found my cruise ship.
Vivi: Thanks. I love this show. If Art loves her so much, why would he call her house and risk her life. He knows that Eladio is a nut. If Regina dumped Josh for kissing her sister, how in the world is she going to get over David boinking her sister. That's just gross.
Niecie in MD: that wierds me out how they never but on a pair of jeans. It's like they are going to a semi-formal event every day.
Diana Okello: Hello. Thanks for reading my recap.
Mauricio: Yeah, I didn't like David sleeping with Daniela either. That makes him a tramp too.
Anita: You are going to hell for laughing at that. :-)
Anon207: I miss your funny lists.
Adriana--This is a instant classic--
"Julia falling for Eladio 's charm can only be explained by two things:
1. she's starving for affection
2.hé looks like FC"
I might add that she's looking somewhere, deeply, longingly, for that Swashbuckling, Decisive, Horseback-Riding, Pirate-Lover she had in plain old Pasion.
Adriana Noel: It is so nice to hear from you! 20 years! Again, I'm starting to understand Eladio....just a little bit! If I'm paying all of the bills, supporting your bum dad and putting up with "someone else's" kid and your niece...I'd be in a bad mood to if you didn't show me a little appreciation every once in a while. Just saying.
Arturo was engaged to Julia but got an unnamed woman pregnant. Engagement to Julia was broken & he married unnamed woman. Unnamed woman died, leaving him a widower with Miguel. Ignored Miguel & left him in the care of nannies. Met/married Nina in the US & allowed her to treat his child like trash. Telling Nina to stop calling his son names was apparently the first time Arturo had ever stood up for Miguel & Miguel wanted to know why.
For all we know, Eladio might have paid Unnamed Woman to seduce Arturo & for all we know Miguel might not be Arturo's child after all.
Eladio backstory (what we know so far):
Eladio started from the bottom, now he's here. Worked as a bellhop at Daddy Montenegro's property & worked himself up. Screwed Daddy Montenegro. Daddy Montenegro & Arturo have regarded Eladio as a shady character ever since.
Julia backstory:
Daddy was abusive, controlling jerk who gambled their family fortune away. Julia apparently doesn't have much education and little marketable skills. Eladio came in and saved the financial day. Daddy knows if Julia ever left Eladio his life of luxury is over so he insists she must stay with Eladio so he won't live the poor life.
Apparently Julia met with Arturo several times before her wedding to Eladio. This has been pointed out several times by Eladio & Daddy to Julia. This is why Eladio doesn't believe David is his son, and he probably doesn't want a DNA test done on David for fear it would reveal David is Arturo's son.
Nina backstory:
Nina was a talentless actress who was smart enough to know she wasn't talented enough to have a successful career. Set her sights on her mark...Arturo & married him in the US quickie ceremony. For all we know, Nina might've been pregnant by some other dude & Erik might not be Arturo's child.
What was Arturo eating anyway?
Tofie---Finally one of your FAMOUS lists. I was beginning to think that I would never see another one again. I was starting to think that you were through with your GREAT lists.
I feel for Consuelo. With a guy like that, I can see why she's depressed.
David and Daniela? I was so disappointed. She saw, she wanted, she conquered. Will
she be fighting Regina for him now?
There was a g-string bikini on the yacht bouncing to the music that didn't get blurred last night. I wonder if someone over at Univision will get fired for missing that one?
Yes, the big question is how long will Eladio stay nice? He did tell the body guard to watch Julia behind her back.
must see tv
the gringo
Gringo- Or in the words of Pitbull, from his song "Fireball": "She saw, she conquered, she came". :)

When I saw eli sweet talkin juls, I thought to
Myself "what is he up to?" I wish he was as nice as he looks. I remember when I first started watching TNs he was one of the first actors that I thought was attractive, he still is hes just playing a dog in this one. I wish he was that nice in this tn. I can't stand this character, hes cold Blooded. I hope shes on the alert. After 18 or So years all of a sudden he's kissy kissy sweet face? I don't think so. Bells & whistles Should be screamin in her brain right now.
That childrens fundraiser is gonna be raising
More than funds. David has no idea the web
He's gettin tangled in. Just when he starts to fall in love with gina girl here comes danny girl preggers. I can see right now this is going to Turn into a hot mess, parents and children Alike.
Connie should listen to her bro-in-law and
Get a hobby or a job, cuz her hubby is crap.
And he could have an STD. Ain't no tellin who
Else The rrat has been riding, besides the crazy sociopath. These two families are like the Hatfields & the McCoys on crack cocain.
Eladio can get angry, but all bets are off when you start to rape someone cuz they can't or won't love you. Stop paying the bills,
Stop taking care of the bumb dad, don't put
Up with the kid that suppose to be someone
Elses. But raping someone? NO! Now whose
The bad guy? and saying we're married it's
Ok, no the hell its not. He could have walked away, but he stayed. why? He likes controlling her. What a hot mess this tn is.
Thanks Cyndarella!!!!! :-)
And I wouldn't have eaten from that plate after erick had his hand on It. And after gettin a whiff of that funky smell. Yuck!!!! :'0
Vivi...I love Pitbull. He had a concert a few years ago at a local place called Crocodile Rock, and I wanted to go, but one of my students from Colombia warned me not to because a lot of fights broke out at that venue.
