Muchacha Italiana #108 1/28/16

Recap by Sneaky Two Shoes!!!!  Grazie Tantissimo!!!!
(Lots of rehash tonight folks, I’ll try to make it brief)

Gia threatens Roxi at knifepoint and they bond over hating Skankia.  Gia is afraid she won’t have appropriate fancy restaurant wear and will look bad at the family dinner w/Gael

Os and Fi talk about nothing, nothing at all – Fed smells a plot and comes asking but Os says he forgot Fi wasn’t a servant anymore and asked her for his jacket. Fi is all ‘yeah I reminded him I don’t serve in this house anymore’ and Fed replies ‘yeah, you don’t serve for anything anymore’ (in Spanish no sierves para nada also means you’re worthless, so, exactly what Fed thinks of both Os and Fi)  
Fi beats feet and Fed and Os trade insults, then Fed says she read the cards and death is close to this house, but Os has more faith in fortune cookies than her stupid cards.

Santino needs to borrow Juli’s shower because his is broken and he’s dirty and sweaty. Juli shows no sign of accompanying him to the shower.  ( hang in there, it’ll matter later)

Fed and Aitana meet. After insulting her,  calling her a polizon = vagrant and making fun of her downfall, Fed suggests they work together to bump off various family members they both hate – starting with Os.

Os is meeting w/Petey and Abue on strategy to beat Fed. He’s all helpful and nice and they notice they change – its all because of the kid, he wants to be a good father and a good example. They gird themselves to go swimming w/the metaphorical sharks.

Karmageddon Discussion: Muchacha Italiana Viene a Casarse 11/26/16

Let's make pasta primavera and open some vino for this one because we deserve it.

It's time to figure out what tricks the Televisa writers will pull on us this time. After what happened with Mi Corazón es Tuyo I am seriously concerned that most of the nasties of this series will get off without any relevant punishment, but we can at least vent here about what should happen to them. Let's start with the queen of the lot:

Muchacha Italian Viene a Casarse #107 1-27-16 She's ALIVE!!! or Assvaldo becomes Osvaldo?

Ciao a tutti!  Well, this was another vegematic episode:  We were hurled and jerked from scene to scene, between day and night.  Jeezopete!  Hopefully, this summary and your always astute, witty and piercing commentary will help us piece this puppy together.  Andiamo!

Of course Assvaldo didn't shoot our beloved (well, by most of us anyway) Fiorella so lets get some other bits and pieces out of the way first!

Diana is arrested for suspicion of murder.  The gun she accidentally shot Vitto with was used to commit a murder.  Vitto gets Adela and Rey to keep Betito while he tries to help Diana.

Gianna has a bad tachycardia attack and Roxi helps to calm her.

Apparently Katia has been sniffing around Gael and Benni.  Roxi tells the skank off but she barely seems affected.  Skank probably has this kind of confrontation with wives and girl friends at least twice per week.  Although when Fiorella was missing Gael was all lovey-dovey huggy comfort, by the end of the episode Gianna is talking to Roxi about wanting to make up with Gael!  Gael and Gianna are invited to a fancy restaurant for a dinner with Katia and Augustin.  Gianna frets and suspects Katia will show up at the dinner half naked and fawning all over Gael.

Muchacha Italiana Viene a Casarse #106 1/26/16 Something’s in the Air…Something Bad.

Mille, Mille grazie to Sneaky Two Shoes!!!!  YAAAAAY!!!!

Fed tells the board the sad story of how she was wronged, and bilked, and cheated, and stolen from, and lied to, and, and…

Fi. Gun. Head. Os (  I can’t watch. Oh, we’ve moved on.)

More Fed – she says Pietro and the fam knew all about it and covered it up. Some arguing about who knew and who was an accomplice.

Santino and Juli kissing – she breaks the kiss and says she’s confused and lost and she can’t do this (why not honey? He’s hot.)
He wants to try again, but she wants to concentrate on finding their daughter for now.

Sonia finishes her set and calls Os, interrupting his not shooting Fi (not that I want him to, but it is Osvaldo, he’s never shown any evidence of having a conscience, what’s he hesitating for now?)
Sonia wants to know why he left, he says Pietro called him to go to ACorp b/c Fed’s running mad through the halls. She tells him she’s on her way and if he isn’t really there she’ll be really mad at him.
He goes to stare at Fi some more

Gia and Gael argue cutely about who was sleeping during the performance and who snores and who’s jealous and end up kissing.

Pietro and Fed are still at it – she insinuates that since he married a servant the business is in shaky if not mentally incompetent hands and calls for a vote for CEO – can’t vote b/c Elo and Os aren’t there. Fed can wait, meanwhile she tries to sow doubts by outing Beg’s plans and wondering out loud why Pietro didn’t report him to the police.

Muchacha Italiana Viene a Casarse #105 1-25-16 The Perils of Fiorella!

Ciao a tutti!  Andiamo!  I’m going to combine scenes tonight.  Hope that helps with the flow.

False pregnancy confirmation.  Assvaldo leaves Fiorella’s room just before Pedro and Fiorella enter.  She shows Pedro both halves of the pregnancy test print out.  Pedro wonders aloud why Sonia and Assvaldo don’t want anyone to know.

Sonia provides the answer in a tearful soliloquy:  She tells her baby to be strong and to hold on to life.  Daddy is very egotistical and so she must remain quiet for now and maybe it’s time to leave her velvet –lined hell.  She tells the baby she has a chance to do what she really loves, to sing.  Singing before an adoring crowd and the applause is a special joy.  She decides she can’t leave now.  She doesn’t want to be poor again or condemn her baby to a life of poverty.  She rubs her stomach and concludes she may have to hang on a little longer as she slowly sinks down to the floor.

Skankia and Papi Chulo.  Katia stamps her foot and tells Augustin she DOES NOT like Gianna and she doesn’t want them together!   Augustin reminds Katia she is related to Gael.  She pouts she is not because he is NOT her father.  “Even though you don’t carry my blood, I raised you as a daughter and you cannot interfere in Gael’s life and decisions about who he wants to be with!”  We are spared further contact with this skank but there will be more skandom later.

Muchacha Italiana Viene a Casarse #104 1-22-16 Preggers? Who's Preggers?

Ciao y'all!  It's been an eventful week in Dos Rios and Rancho Los Angeles.  Here's what went down today, not necessarily in order of broadcast.

Eloisa is unshaken in her resolve to welcome Fiorella into the Angeles family and deflects insults from Assvaldo and Federica.  Pedro and Fiorella hug Eloisa, Sergio proposes a toast.  Freddie's attempts to sour the mood with constant cracks about how she's going to grab the Angeles fortune go ignored.   Eloisa declares that two people marrying who really love each other is worth celebrating and she doesn't care what anyone has to say about Fiorella and Pedro's marriage and everybody who lives in the Angeles house will respect them!  Eloisa's expansive mood includes Roxi whom she invites to move back into the Ranch.  Roxi coolly declines and Eloisa coolly accepts her refusal.

Gael goes by Papi Chulo, his dad, Augustin's apartment.   It's a trick.  Augustin isn't there, Katia is and before you can say Katiaisaskank, she unasses her robe and stands before him naked.  She doesn't care that he has a novia, she's not jealous.  Augustin arrives, Skankia darts out of the room and Gael stutters his reason for being there and gets the heck out the door.  [Hmmm, I bet Skankia had something to do with the ending of Papi Chulo's marriage, chick's morals are lower than a snake's belly in a wagon rut.]

Muchacha Italiana #103 1/21/16 What A Cute Little Stepsister Gael Has


Recap by Sneaky Two Shoes!!     Grazie Tantissimo, Sneaky!

 Now its Fed’s big scene –‘Ha ha! I’m not crazy like you all thought I was because of my crazy clothes!
I found Pilar and brought her here and she had the proof Max swindled my dad and now I have it and here’s my lawyer to make sure I get mine.

Diana thinks the world would be better off without her and tries to kill herself but Vitto fights her for the pistol – oops it goes off.

Agustin introduces Gael to his hot stepsister who is, um, older, than he thought. She flirts with him while Gia tells Fi about her and how they are going to be besties. Fi tells Gia about the photo Juli got of the adoptive father, Gia wants to see it, maybe they will recognize him. Fi is all ‘Italy is a big country what are the chances we would recognize some random, on the other hand my first bf turned out to be my fiancee’s nephew, so maybe.

Muchacha Italiana Viene a Casarse #102 1-20-16 A Tearful Reunion and a Challenge to the Empire!

Ciao, miei cari amici del MIVAC Patio!  Hello, beloved friends of the MIVAC Patio!  Here's tonight's highlights, not necessarily in order of broadcast.

  • Vitto is on the verge of being evicted from his two restaurant properties.  I feel sorry for Domingo!  Vitto makes a grand statement of happily giving everything he owns for Diana to get her son back.  Anibal believes he is perfectly positioned to move in to snare Julieta and Sergio via the fake response he sent to their internet post. 
  • Gianna and Fiorella discuss Fiorella's perhaps going to Maratea to investigate their origins.  Fiorella protests she doesn't have the money to return to Italy.  Gigi reminds her she's the wife of a rich man and gets a lecture on a woman needing to have some income of her own to maintain a degree of independence.
  • The discarded Dust Mop shows up, meets with Assvaldo who rejects her offer of a "bed massage."  After she throws his affair with Alina in his face, he tells her to get lost for good.

Muchacha Italiana 1/19/16 #101 These Kids Are So Darn Cute When They’re Happy.

Recap by Sneaky Two Shoes!!!  YAAAAY!!!  Mille grazie!!!!

Os & Sonia
Os wants to know if she’s going to be mad at him forever, he doesn’t want to lose her but if she doesn’t accept his apology they’re not going to be able to go on, and Sonia leaves to puke (I feel kinda pukey too – is it him?)


Party People
Everyone is yelling for the bride and groom to kiss, but Elo puts a damper on things, yelling, ‘This is a joke, right?’  Pietro says he has never been so serious about anything. Elo thinks they’ve been carrying on all along (and they have really) but Pietro and Fiorella tell her they repressed their love until the day of the unweddings when Pietro went looking for Fi and they got together and decided to get together.

Muchacha Italiana Viene a Casarse #100 1-18-16 Muchacha Italiana ya está casado

Ciao e andiamo, mi Peeps!  Let's see how this plays out as the de la Riva Palmas and Assvaldo watch him and Aitana on the small screen gettin' busy!  "What's the meaning of this?" they shout. Sonia holds court and smoothly informs Aitana and her parents that they will not be trying to implicate her and Assvaldo in the swindle of ACorp. 

"If you try to accuse us, we will release the video and your precious daughter will not be able to snag a wealthy husband!  I've had you investigated and you've pulled one con job after another!"

"Why, I'm not going to let myself be blackmailed by a cabaret singer!"  shouts Benigno.  "Why did you do it?" screeches Celeste at Aitana!

"For entertainment!  I was tired of being your puppet!"  Benigno turns on Sonia again.  He doesn't believe Sonia and tries to call her bluff.  Sonia is ready.  She has several copies of the video with different investigative agencies all of which are prepared to release it should something happen to her or Assvaldo.  Grasping at straws, Aitana's parents wonder what about Assvaldo, he's in the video, too!   Sonia answers with a mild sneer that Assvaldo has nothing to lose.  Celeste admits that Sonia has their and Aitana's reputation in her hands.  They agree to shut up.  Sonia tosses her head triumphantly and commands smugly glowing Assvaldo to get her lap top and purse.  He does and follows her swishing, swirling, pink hemline out of the de la Riva's house, carrying her bags.

Muchacha Italiana Viene a Casarse #99 1-15-16 Maximo, the Monster!

Ciao, MIVAC Peeps!  Ah, it was a great show!  I'm not messing with you, trying to prolong your anticipation, but let's get the smaller stuff out of the way first.  Here is the first of two installments!

Diana and Vitto

Diana cries to Vitto that this whole mess is her fault and she feels so guilty and she's sooo repentant!  Vitto tells her not to worry, his focus is on paying the ransom and getting Betito back.  They meet the next day with a hoodied and shaded Anibal who demands to be shown the money if they want to see Beto; Vitto demands to know Beto is well first.  Anibal grabs the aluminum briefcase with the money after a brief struggle, flinging Vitto and Diana to the ground.  Anibal growls that the money had better be right or Beto will die, and takes off!

Gael, Gigi and Papi Chulo

Gael calls Augustin "Papa" (awwww) as he introduces him to Gianna, Benni and Roxi.  We learn that the Chulo one is a writer.  Roxi sort of apologizes for jacking him up earlier while reminding him she wouldn't have done so if he had come right out and said who he was.  Augustin graciously apologizes and accepts responsibility.  He invites them all to lunch but Roxi and Gigi have to go to class and off they run.  Uh oh!  Gigi collapses just a few steps away and everyone runs to help her!

Muchacha Italiana Viene a Casarse #98 1-14-16 The resurrection of Pilar!

Ciao, MIVAC Peeps!  We know the big story in tonight's show is the miraculous appearance of Pilar, Pedro's Mother, long thought to be dead, but let's summarize other action before we get to that.

Diana arrives home and finds her Mom tied up and unconscious.  Anibal tied her up, kidnapped Beto and is demanding a huge ransom.  She goes to Vitto for help who pledges he will pay the ransom.  Domingo protests as Vitto is going to use money earmarked to keep La Dolce Vita afloat.  Diana is grateful!

Looks like we ARE to understand, as I predicted, that Eloisa's misadventure in the barrio and involuntary/temporary status as a beggar would cause her to have a change of heart.  Eloisa gives away a bunch of her clothes and shoes to the needy and plans to sell a lot of her jewelry and give the proceeds to charity.  She also decides to accept Fiorella's suggestion that inequities don't just exist outside El Rancho Los Angeles but in it as well.  Fiorella thinks the house staff should be able to dress as they please.  Eloisa not only agrees but has Fiorella fitted for a pretty floral dress as per Fifi's request and allows Quina, Simoneta, Fidel and Benni to dress as they please.  No more uniforms!  She does advise against too loud colors.  Eloisa even conducts her first table etiquette lesson with the house staff, enlisting Roxi to be her assistant.  This is just the beginning of Eloisa's teaching them some bougie manners!

Muchacha Italiana Viene a Casarse #97 1-13-16 HOT ZIGGETY DAWG! Some real action, Muchacha Peeps!

Ciao a todos, I mean a tutti.  Heck, how y'all are?  This is my first summary.  Let's see how well I do summarizing versus writing a novelette!

Right off the bat, my beloved Patio Peeps, one of you have a chance to make a contribution to tonight's summary because silly me started the recording late and I don't know what happened in the first segment!  I was able to figure part of it out but I don't know how Fifi explained that yummy huggin' she was giving Pedro so feel free to fill in, Peeps!

(This is what I was able to figure out.)  Freddie takes Eloisa to the bank and withdraws bribe money to pay off Vargas, ACorp accountant, who had demanded two years salary in exchange for the information about to whom monthly deposits were being made by ACorp.  He takes a suitcase full of money and gives her the address, not the name, of the recipient.  The address is of a mental hospital!  More on that later.

Eloisa wakes up face down on the pavement in a, shall we say, humble part of town.  She tries over and over without success to get people to tell her where she is.  Mostly people ignore her but she manages to get enough change from a couple of passersby to call the Rancho.  Pedro answers.  The family marvels that Eloisa was able to call what with her dementia.  Pedro confesses that Eloisa faked dementia to expose someone in the family whom she thought was trying to kill her.   Sergio takes off with Fidel.  Assvaldo mocks Pedro's desire to go with them.

Muchacha Italiana Viene a Casarse #96 1/12/16 Beware the Hooded Menace!!

Recap by Sneaky Two Shoes!  Grazie Tantissimo!!

(Lotta stuff happened so skipping the old - straight to the new.)

Gael tells Gia that Agustin wants to see him again. Gael's all up in the air about it- doesn't know if he wants to know him and confesses almost using again. Gia swears she will be with him day and night, all the time to help him through this and she reminds him how dangerous it is for him to take drugs and tries to help him see the situation calmly. Gael thinks its too late for he and Agustin to have a father/son relationship  now, he's not a kid anymore. Gia tells to meet Agustin and maybe all he wants is a little love. Gael isn't sure he can give it to him. He agrees this time for Gia to go with him to the meeting tonight.

Aitana's fam plots together. Ai thinks Elo knows Fi and Pietro are together and that's why she cut Fi in to the will. Beg thinks Pietro and Fi are plotting together to take advandtage of Elo's dementia and they can tell the board about it and get Pietro out. Aitana's mom thinks the board won't care that Pietro is fooling around with the help. Beg sends Ai to RLA to snoop around and see if Pietro and Fiorella do have something going on. Ai and her mom protest Beg's using her and treating her like a soulless puppet. (apparently the family who plots together doesn't stay together.)  Ai's mom warns her no nookie with Os while she's at the rancho.

Muchacha Italiana Viene a Casarse, Monday 1-11-16 Eloisa is "tan cuerda como siempre," As sane as ever!

Ciao, Muchacha Patio Peeps!  Well, let's get back to our story after an unexpected weekend off!  We pick up right where Sneaky left us on Thursday in the living room of the Angeles Ranch with the collective Angeles jaw on the floor upon hearing that HALF the Angeles fortune has been left to Fiorella Bianchi, faithful personal assistant of Eloisa!  Predictably, Federica, Assvaldo and Sonia lay in to Fiorella with accusations of goldigging and bewitching the loca Eloisa and Pedro vociferously defends her.  Julieta also defends her vigorously and suggests Fiorella go off to her room and she will personally get her if Eloisa needs anything.  Pedro, Eloisa and the Lawyer, Robles, go off to the study to talk, as Eloisa puts it, "away from the vultures."

We also had just witnessed the touching scene where the Papi Chulo, Augustin, finally confesses to Gael that he is Gale's Father.  Augustin manages to tell Gael that when his Grandfather found out about his relationship with Gael's Mother, he made Augustin leave the country!  This is all too much for poor Gael who runs screaming from the room crying loudly "No, no, no, no, NO!"  Alina comes in and confirms with the stricken Augustin what he told Gael.

Muchacha Italiana Viene a Casarse #94 1-7-16 Roxy's Worst Day Ever!

 Recap by Sneaky Two Shoes!  Mille Grazie!!
Elo asks Fi not to tell anyone about Roxi’s parentage and Fed waltzes in and asks about the monthly deposits ACorp is making to the mystery account.  Elo notices and fingers her huge seafoam green bracelet and calls her Imelda as she tells her, ask Pietro I don’t know about business stuff. They go back and forth for a while over whether Fedrica is in fact Imelda Marcos or not (in case anybody didn’t know Imelda Marcos was a politician’s wife who spent scandalous amounts of govmt $ on clothes and especially shoes, she had like a bajillion pair)

Pietro goes to Rey and Adela’s place where Roxi trying to get rid of him pretends, badly, to be a sister of Adela. Pietro falls for it till Beni blows her cover, calling her by name. Too late to shut Pietro out though, Rox has already let him in and he won’t leave till he talks to her.

Fi has a wonderful idea that Roxi is just gonna hate; let Rox come back to the ranch, but she has tolive w/Quina in the employee quarters. Elo goes for it and wants to take it a step farther and put Roxi to work, Ha!

Blog mom is considering deleting Caray, Caray entirely. Thoughts welcome.

Hello, friends, trolls, spammers, complainers, etc.,

Behind the scenes there has a been a lot of trouble over the past year or two. Against my instincts I let this project get too big. We used to just blog the three shows on Univision prime time. Now our net is cast across all of Telenovela Land.

We have had almost 18,000,000 visits to our site. Perhaps this is what has made us a target of ugly behavior. We have lost a lot of recappers due to nasty commenters. We have had to delete 1,000s of spam comments from witch doctors and spell casters and plumbing supply houses. We have had to scour the comments for spoilers and malicious mayhem.

Over the last year or more Diva del desierto (5 foot Latina) and her computer whiz husband have made a number of very complicated improvements under the hood. These improvements have answered some of your multiple complaints but the Diva has had it. She wants to throw in the towel. I cannot take on the work she's been doing.

So that's why I'm thinking about folding up the tent (to switch metaphors). People who complain and attack each other and post spoilers etc. have finally worn us down.

Most things online are eventually ruined by spam and porno. One could say about the whole internet: "This is why I can't have nice things."

Have you noticed that everybody who works on this site does it for free?

Another possibility would be to cut back to just three shows and dump the rest of this. I think I could keep my eye on three shows.

I am taking suggestions and comments below.

Muchacha Italiana Viene A Casarse #93 Wed 1/6/16 (Mex 129-130) Maximo, you're a jerk.

The big questions for tonight:
-Will Papi Chulo reveal his true Papi-hood to Gael?
-Will we find out what Fi's plan is?
-Will Roxi accept her enabling mama?

On the first score, there is too much yelling for Alina's taste and she opts to kick Gael out of her office so she can talk to Papi Chulo alone.  "So…you're his dad, huh?"  I guess she did see the resemblance.  She wants to make sure this is managed properly, since Gael is a recovering addict.

Muchacha Italiana Viene a Casarse #91 Monday 1-4-15 (Mex 126-127) After The Dog and Pony Show Fail, It's off to the Paris Hilton! Yikes!

Ciao, i miei amici!  Andiamo!  

Dante takes Eloisa her drops to the dining room.  She invites him to sit down and tells him somebody is trying to kill her.  She plays coy and at first and says he is the one trying to kill her with his incompetence as her Chief of Security and he needs to be more vigilant of her person and property.  He presses her about who she suspects and Eloisa finally says Freddie and he should keep an eye on her.

Roxi is off to school and seems to be getting a final inspection by Adela and Rey.  The two disagree as to whether Roxi's skirt is too short.  As per usual, they get into a yelling match.  Roxi noisily dismisses them and leaves just as Vitto is arriving.  In a funny little crack at Vitto, Roxi tells him to stop looking at her:  if Fiorella couldn't even stand him, she certainly can't.  She flounces away with her nose in the air, probably holding her breath, too.
