Vino el Amor #102; Tuesday, March 28, 2017: Vino la trampa (trap)
Labels: vino
Recap: Zip ! Pow! Bang! Good One !
Show: ZZzzzzzzzzzzzz
I will be happy when Dave finally gives in to DisGrace. I want to see them waking up together.
Because she will not want to have babies, and someone as stupid as David should not have any more children.
I hope it happens soon, so we can have the last part of the show of the aftermath of that pairing. Everyone loves a slo-mo trainwreck.
So Ramon does not have a driver's license?
Am I in danger of being arrested if caught talking in Spanish to the cute cashier at Home Depot? I don't have a green card, and i don't carry my birth certificate around.
Bugs Bunny and Yosemite Sam.
"sociopathic charms" and "Erica and Adolfo chew the same bone" were among many favorites.
I was ambivalent about Brian. But now? I loathe him. Picking on Ramon??? I had thought Brian might be trying to make amends, albeit in a haphazard manner. What does he want? Marta to come crawling to him to release Ramon?
These recent plot developments were obviously written by inexperienced children. As you pointed out, Ramon would have his papers with him. And, engineers working without permits is incomprehensible. None of this is believable in the least. Ack.
So, Fernanda does want David to fall in love with her aunt. Not someone “like” Graciela. Graciela herself. I wasn’t sure on this point, but am crystal clear now.
A few of you have commented that Bobby may be playing Graciela. I am glad you mentioned his wink to Luci of the other day as I'd be really worried she is truly winning him over.
So Perla isn't telling Mark she knows where Carito is. But if Carito does what she wants and shows up to testify, how will she explain it?
I smiled at Susan being annoyed with Cesar as he wasn't able to talk any sense into David. She being miffed without any real cause is typical, they are clearly a couple now. :)
To say Mark is a loose cannon is an understatement. I'm still fearful about how he is going to strike. It likely won't be Juan but another innocent party.
I hope Sonia's book is available soon :)
Cynthia, thank you for another fantastic summary!
Diana
PSA..Girls go for the STEM subjects! Lisa liked math. Math rocks. Disgrace cannot do the math, so...do the math!
Hmmm. Dave tells Lu that the wine reminds him of her . Why? Does it make him feel dizzy and confused?
Obedient geisha Perla serves Juan his coffee. Hey, no subservient bow?
OKAY, I am officially done, done, done with Gut. Poor Ramon is arrested just because Gut sees him as his competition for Marta. Lame,Gut.Very lame. Please, writers, if Ramon wants Marta, let him have her.
OK Susanlynn. Obviously you wake up witty without the need for any caffeine. I wish I could say the same.
Awesome avatar(s) Kirby.
Diana
Kirby: Marta being put in her place was disgusting!
Susanlynn: Sheriff Gutierrez cracking down & flexing his Border Security muscles by going after Ramon. You know Tano is not going to be happy about that.
Diana: Leon needs to calm down when it comes to Sonia's book.
You are right, if David and Adolfo stupid enough not to know they need the appropriate permits for construction they deserve to lose their business.
Marta is so shallow. All Graciela did was stroke her ego and now she's a fan.
If you want to waste half an episode all you have to do is put David and Luciana in the cellar and have someone interrupt them and round we go.
I check out when they drag out, with confusion and faux commitment, the reunion of the galan and protag. Looks like Irina checked out already and doesn't put much effort in selling the Dave diversion. The only mystery left before the childhood lovers reunite is how many different blouses she'll need.
Head scratcher for me is why GS took the David role? Earlier in the show I thought a cardboard cutout would do and still do.
Come on Brian, Ramon, the beta orbiter, is not real competition. Painful to watch but not competition for a woman like Marta.
If one didn't have calendar nearby, one would think this is, like, episode 10 or something.
One question. Didn't Juan say the plan was to blame Mark and Carito for the whole illegals thing and Perla weakly said, "I won't let you do that to Carito!" but then Juan deftly deflected her ire with the promise of restaurant food and more pretty dresses?
Tofie, I don't remember seeing GS in anything else and I didn't see the famed YNCELH but if he was as stellar in it as I gather from the comments, this is a paycheck role. My man is tired and just trying to get paid. IB is more alive in her interactions with other females. She's biding her time for when she won't have to endure hairy kisses from an aging hunk.
Thank The Lord for our recappers and a 'Ready for Prime Time' patio.

GS was in a few episodes of 'Rather Dead than Leticia' or something like that. They had him swimming with her sans shirt. Though I am sure he did, I do not recall him speaking, but I was not very attentive.
Sadly, he's horrible here and the David character, I don't get why Luciana slept with him. The only thing going for David is I like Miguel less.
So...
- Ramon forgot his green card/ID while out shopping, while
- Magic Brian forgot he was a kinda good guy and has his So Obviously Gringo officers roust Ramon. And while all that's going on,
- David, Luciana, Miguel, Erika, and Adolfo all forgot that they needed a permit for the dig at least, if not for the dig and the new planned irrigation pipeline between Bodega de Los Angeles and Vinedo del Competencia.
This is/was some straight El Talisman plot-mandated crap, except that only part of it even makes any damn sense (I can kind of, sort of, handwave that David's desperation and the announced timeframe explains the accelerated timeframe for the dig...but it's still so forking obvious that Juan gets to screw with David some more). Why in the world is Brian hassling Ramon? That doesn't score him any points with anybody, let alone Marta. Unless he's backsliding massively, and that needs an explanation in itself, it makes negative sense.
Sonia writing a book based on Marta's romantic woes actually makes sense, apart from her not telling Leon about it beforehand. But it's so Sonia to do that, so points for consistency.
And since at this point David and Luciana's currently-non-relationship is now screwing with Cesar and Susan and we're not getting anything out of it apart from Mar Contreras's Mad Max vest thing (between that and Lilian's carpet-remnant jacket, on top of the usual #clogsfromtheseventhcircleofhell, the wardrobe people for this show must have been on downers half the time), I'm just that much more over it. And I don't want to be. How are you forking up Gabriel bloody Soto as a galan, show?
Things might be very different if there was any palpable romantic connection between David and Luci. It's beyond lacking chemistry. The actress simply doesn't seem to want to engage in any romantic scenes with her acting partner. But as you noted Lila (along with others over the course of this), Irina has a bright smile, but David's just never the recipient.
I can't fault Gabe/David here. Maybe this looked better in theory than reality when he signed on.
I wanted to hope for the best, but unless someone lights a fire, this romance is dead in the water. Maybe you are right tofie, and the fireworks might come later if she reunites with Miguel.
Diana
Ahhh, Bill. This was a gem.
Diana
I do hope that Bobby is playing DisGrace and her maternal unit. I would be extremely disappointed if he were to fall into their trap.
When the hell will Marta put her hair up? You don't do housework with hair hanging down like that.
Perla is as stupid as ever.
DisGrace is probably hoping that Fernanda will fail her exams if David decrees that she has to leave afterward. Or will she bribe or blackmail someone to insure that Fernanda's grades are substandard?
Do the writers know nothing about building permits and how they happen in the US?
Brian having Ramon hauled in is pure jealousy at this point unless it's a game Juan is playing to get him out of the way to make David's life miserable.
More later.
Given we have not actually seen David'dsSmush-O-Matic in operation, I have been dreaming up a fitting anvil for DisGrace. Since she cares only about herself, it will surely have to be a terminal illness or permanent debilitating disfigurement. Going crazy when she is caught is sort of redundant. Don't ya think? She needs her mind as it is now, so she can appreciate that (for instance) she is disfigured beyond recognition and can no longer speak.
Interesting that Lil was calling out so desperately for more wine after her altercation with Luci. I wonder if we are about to witness the inception of a drinking problem.
What is Bobby up to?? I certainly hope he hasn't been drinking Disgrace's Kool-Aid - that'd be a serious slip on the writers' part. Even David looked suspicious when Bo-by was singing Grace's praises!
And Disgrace was serving all kinds of Kool-Aid last night. She was so persuasive with Marta, I almost believed her myself.
Susan tried to help Perla, and Perla turned up her nose. I don't know how many strikes you get in this game, but I really doubt Perla is going to get any more chances.
"Now you tell me how two successful businessmen who are vineyard owners don’t know to take out permits for their irrigation projects." I'm hoping that these successful businessmen know something that Juan doesn't.
What kind of "toys" did Lisa have that they're donating? Okay, I have some legos and some puppets, but as far as I can tell, I'm atypical.
And Gutierrez is dead to me. I hope he's stuck with Lilian for the rest of his life.
Lila: "IB is more alive in her interactions with other females." I've noticed that. That may affect the kinds of roles she gets in the future.
As for said tia...karmically, since everything she does is and has been for the single goal of acquiring David like the brass ring she missed at the circus twenty years ago (which probably isn't too far off as far as analogies go), it'd be rather poetic for her to somehow see David and Luciana inevitably getting married and riding off into the sunset. Whether it's from a rubber room or a jail cell is the question, as is whether her pretty face is still intact at that point (I think I might actually respect this show if it pulled a Rubi with her, but...nah).
Julie. I keep meaning to go back and see how IB was in P Y P. m Her mouth says she loves David but I don't see it. . .and they don't have to boogie between the sheets for her to show it.
Grace. What a tenacious piece of work. Did you see how quickly she flipped the script on big mouth Marta? Marta needs to tell that stuff to David and Luci together! Useless heffa!
I agree, DisGrace must have put something in that limonada that Sonia made and Grace served to everyone. Sociopaths have this way of manipulating people, like spiders inviting their prey into their webs. They are experts at manipulation and they have practiced over and over again how to get others to feel sorry for them and to give them their wishes. They know how to butter people up and turn on the charm so that their prey do not see what is going on or what is really happening to them. They make you feel guilty about not giving into their wicked desires and constantly turn the tables on you to make you think that YOU are the bad one if you don’t do exactly as they ask! Most cult leaders are sociopaths. They have this very nice and sweet way about them, but then when they have you where they want you, then they move in for the kill. This is exactly the way DisGrace operates.
This thing with Gutierrez instructing his officer to arrest Ramón is too much for me. This does not happen in California! Heck, it doesn’t even happen in Arizona where they have SB 1070. In fact that law says that law enforcement has the right to ask someone for their immigration status IF and only IF they are being arrested for a crime. They do not randomly go up to people in the streets asking for their immigration documents. It seems in this TN, that the writers’ intent is to make it look like all they do here is hunt down immigrants.
More later. Gotta get back to work!
Sheezo why? He has already been there and it must have been simply to prove that it actually can be done.
After teaching grammar today, I have to mention that whoever writes the English dialogue here still has some grammar issues. I have heard Juan say "The police IS" three times. Someone missed the day that irregular plural nouns were taught.
For those of you who did not see PyP, Irina did a great job playing the selfish, spoiled, rich playgirl who was so jealous of her sister. She had quite a few love scenes with a couple different guys and seemed to have no problem wiggling all over them and kissing them. Perhaps, she should have played Disgrace , and Kim should have played Luci sans the platinum blonde hair.
On the other hand, Gut was ready to deport Luci's entire family just because Lil said so. "Custom deportations" in my yello pages ad I meant to say "deportations on demand."
In this order maybe?
Carito
Susan
Perla
Erika
NoJuan

I notice that her face doesn't light up when she sees David. Mine does, and I'm not even getting paid.
Now that's just damned funny, Julie! Dave is bringing it for me physique like and Captain Wet White Pants converted me to blond but Dave doesn't look so badly on my 60 inch HD. . .well, I do have cataracts. :/
Wineries take up a lot of land. We know these folks use their Telenovela Magical Transport system to get back and forth instantly, but this one makes my beanie itch. Ramon didn't just walk to town. Did he just carry some cash in his pants pocket to pay for all those groceries? Everybody carries cell phones these days and wallets, for heaven's sakes.
Who drives from a distant winery to a the "small" town of Sonoma without at least a driver's license. It's all too stooopid to believe. We all know that Dear Dumb Dave "took care" of all his workers after Marcos and Luci were deported.
Por Favor....You all said it for me. Rant over.
So long for now. Au Revoir, a bien tot.
David is technically a little young for me, but he actually looks older than most galans (even those of comparable age). I can see that even on a fairly small TV and without my glasses on. He's certainly no fossil, but he probably should have worn a lot more sunscreen when he was younger.
That Julie has a way with the words, aye?
I like dark hair, but my favorite crush is 6' 4" and has long, red hair. I did fall for William Levy of the wet, white pants in La Tempestad and on Dancing with the Stars.
I surfed in and out last night, so I missed Ramón getting arrested. That's a shock. So much for Gut being reformed. A shudder to think of all the scenery chewing Marta will do when she finds out.
Besides, I think these two major landowners would have known better. Another stoooopid plot twist that has U.S. residents scratching their heads.
Funny what you said about the county expediting the permits. I was thinking perhaps that Juan might (somehow) not be aware of some kind of fast-pass permit that David and Adolfo could get for an emergency like this. So Juan finds out that David didn't get a standard permit and thinks he can halt the construction - but then David's like "well, I just got this express permit, so bwahahaha!!"
Psychopass - I think it's a noun. It sounds like when DG is greeting David topless, or pawing at him, she's making a psychopass.
But I really like to see Karma hit Gutierrez HARD!
It's been mentioned we don't know if Irina's hold-back style of acting is done on purpose, or is there a directing issue. Remember in PyP when she was stuck in a hotel room after a drug bender with a dead guy? I thought her despair was played perfectly. Lucy? Just don't know.
The wishing for slaps is pretty fun. But, the disfiguring karma ideas are always worthy of a laugh!
Lurking Linda
Instead Lucy talked lil into an apology? Really? Well according to lil
And shes spittin nails mad, shes gonna
Make her pay.Now thats the translation
On my TV.
Now Ramon has been in this country long enough to know to carry your papers with you.So This is for effect. Brian's getting down and dirty again. This will not Indear Marta to him at all.This would make Lil happy.
Writers please have David take off the
Blinders. And that "no permits" for the Pipeline building, come on,no self
Respecting engineers is gonna touch that without some. Like I said all this craziness for effect.And its Good
Entertainment. Poor ramon, what if he
Really don't have papers & green card?
It's gettin ready to blowup. Cuz all the nasty folk are Havin to much fun. When that Happens somethings Bout to blow.
Thank you Ms Cynthia.
The Bad Guys are having WAAAAY too much fun. How many slaps have been on this TN ?
That's why it is called your one true love...not your two true loves or the two women who can do things for you or have caught your fancy fancy. I need heroes who understand what true love is .Gut is not doing it for me.:-(
Cynthia, you are right, We do not really know if Gut was behind the Ramiton caper, although it is safe to say he most likely is, for reasons unknown to all mankind. But he is a minor bad one compared to Mark, Juan, Lillian and DisGrace. He had me convinced until last night that he had turned over a new leaf and was walking the straight and almost narrow. It is looking pretty doubtful now though.
Disgusting as he is, SkidMark has only killed El Coyote, and depending on who you talk to that is either a crime or community service. To me, NoJuan is just as guilty and deserves the same size anvil. Med Large to large.
Lillian is nasty and mean. Did I mention selfish too? I rank her higher in Anvildom than Skid and NoJuan.
DisGrace deserves a whole new class of anvil..possibly something outside our current sizing system. Colossal Extra Super Jumbo doesn't quite fill the bill. Maybe TWO ! Did we ever give someJuan 2 anvils.?
I'm kidding, of course... I'd just like there to be a reasonable explanation for this, because I thought Gut was better than that. I mean, not great... but not this much of a jerk.
Two anvils... well in Pasion there was this bad guy who lost an eye and then a leg and then he was beheaded. That's three anvils. (And yes, he was a pirate with an eye patch and a peg leg. It wasn't even a comedy.)
Perhaps, Juan and Mark will eliminate each other. Can you imagine Disgrace in a woman's prison with her arrogant personality and without her hair dye, makeup💄, and expensive clothes 👗and jewelry...and no Dave?
I know Marta is not in Mensa, but did you see DisGrace turn a crucifixion into a wedding reception with Dumbass Marta? Marta was reading her the riot act and in two minutes I was fully expecting those two to do some floor sitting and crying.
But not just typing on the regular phone sight of caray caray. I aS just tryin something. I now know. Ok done.
But...If they put her in San Quentin 'Breakin Rocks'....just sayin.... :-) :-)
Oh YIKES seven minutes. Bye
