Que Pobres Tan Ricos #123: 6/26/14: Chismes Travel Fast!

Hola Amiguis! What have we got this evening? A whole lotta Ahole and Mini. Have no fear, though, cause there was a lot of good things too, well maybe. Come read for yourself and by the way there was no Dona Mati sighting, so starting tonight, I am keeping count of how many days Dona Mati goes, sight unseen so to speak. I have an earworm especially for Emi and here it is: Yakkedy Yak

AS drinks her elixir.

Ahole shows up at Emi's school, he knows this is the only way he gets to see Emi in her prescence. He still wants to marry her and she tells him neva gonna happen. He has a question of his own. So is Lupe marrying MA then?

Meanwhile, at the jailhouse, Mini is looking at MA like he's the Thanksgiving turkey, or a yummy concha, or a bowl of your favorite ice cream, take your pick. She can't beleive she's getting him back! She feels like an A list actress that just won an Oscar. She can't wait to hug him, kiss him and oh, so much more! Like eat him all up, Yummy! She's the happiest girl in the whole of the Universe. MA asks her how Granny Mati is doing?

Que Pobres Tan Ricos #122: 6/25/14: Dona Mati's New Conundrum! Ahole Needs A Million Cast Iron Skillets!

Hola Amiguis! I am posting the highlights of what happened last epi. I don't know if EZ is posting, but if he is, I will take this one down.

Don Bambi got transferred to Spain cause ya know his bebe Mama lives there, plus she's got all that money, so he is now in a Spanish prison, but no worries, MA is still protected, only Don Bambi didn't clear MA before he left. MA tells Saul, and Saul reminds him there is always Mini, wink, wink! MA is less than enthused.

Agente Chavez kept his promise to check back in with Ahole and Dona Mati, so he even brought his own Doc. Well the Doc examines her and finds she is completely demented, well not that, but has senile dementia. Poor Dona Mati kept referring to Ahole as Angelito and we know she isn't meaning Ahole. This exam was done while Vilma, Ahole and the nurse are all present. The Doc even checked the "pills" that that stupid nurse says she's been giving Dona Mati and the Doc agrees these pills are the latest treatment. Don Mati actually has nice jammies on, a scarlet silk pair. As soon as Agente Chavez and the Doc leaves, Beto, Ahole and Vilma, along with that, may the anvil strike her, nurse, and Dona Mati go in a car and stop in this really tough neighboorhood and drop Dona Mati off. Ahole thinks whoever finds her will think she's a poor woman, off her head, and she'll probably die in this 'hood, far away from him and La Nopalera. I hope Ahole goes to hellz, along with the nurse, Vilma and Beto!

Que Pobres Tan Ricos 120: Mike goes to jail. Ana Sofia takes some nourishment.

Thanks to Julie for switching with me, I'm leaving town very early tomorrow. This recap was done without subtitles so please fill in the good stuff.

Mike gets his mug shots taken in the prison and meets his new cellmates, two guys who loathe him until he uses his newly-acquired barrio slang to convince them he's a homie, then they are best buddies.

Que Pobres tan Ricos, #119, 20 June 2014. MA is transferred, AS is depressed, Perla is cover girl, and Lupe gets the last laugh/punch.

MA begs Top Cop to let Lupe and all family visit him. Top Cop says ok and leaves.


Lupe is ignoring Mini. Mini yells at the police receptionist that she is Minerva Fontanet, niece of so and so and demands to see Lic MARP. Lupe says she is Lupe Menchaca and wants to see him too. Receptionist is overwhelmed and just promises he will do what he can.

At Fonda, they all arrive. Very hungry Tizoc gets some killer stares. Frida asks how the trip went. AS whines and whines… she never thought she would say this but ‘finally we got home!’ But AS does not want to hear anything about MA. Not even Leo understands her attitude. Chuy gives her the benefit of the doubt and tells them she is more affected than it seems. Not everyone can express their feelings directly.

Gwendy with Nepo… he is deflated, she is trying to cheer him up. She offers him a ‘cure all’ shot… She brings a glass… he says he will need about chorros – hundreds of these to get over it. Gwendy is there for him. He says what he would like most is to cry… they are both already crying. Gwendy will accompany him in crying. He takes a shot glass in one swallow, then breaks down and cries. She says ‘go ahead get it out’.

The nurse is trying to read the paper. ‘check the Fonda, ‘al fondo’ (in the end… end of the hallway, end of the drawer… who knows). Nurse gives up in trying to figure it out.

Mini keeps nagging at Lupe, can’t believe MA fell so low. You even smell of frying fat. You are nothing but a ‘wild rose’. Lupe rebutes you are married to his cousin. Mini claims that marriage means nothing. She asks Lupe to admit that a man like ‘mi vi’ would never take a serious relationship with a ‘fritanguera’.

Nepo is napping on the couch with the bottle by his arm. Wakes up. Achis! Gwendy brings him some food (sandwiches). He needs Lupe to…. (Gwendy finishes his line… to love you!.) Gwendy asks him to get over it, if a woman doesn’t love you you have nothing to look for. Diego comes in at that time and Nepo is ready to beat him to a pulp, but Gwendy stops him. Nepo does not want to see DA anymore! DA is scared/shocked. DA tries to talk to him, but is decided to try the relationship with Leo, we are already ‘pareja’ ( a serious couple). Nepo believes it is a joke. Gwendy has to jump between them. She tries to get Nepo to listen, but to no avail. Diego again tries to talk to him, but all he gets is Nepo kicking him out. Gwendy offers her house to DA. Nepo won’t even let DA pack anything. And he kicks the two of them out. DA leaves, Gwendy leaves Nepo with one more food for thought ‘go on like this and you will end up more alone than the statue of independence.

Que Pobres Tan Ricos #118: 6/19/14: The King of the Porca Miseria!

Hola, Amiguis! I will try to make this recap short and sweet, all I gotta say is poor, poor Dona Mati! May Ahole rot in porca miseria, jus' sayin'.

We start with Vilma doing PI duty again and she's found Frida and Lupe. Does Ahole want her to follow them? Course he does, silly question, find Dona Mati, that is the goal.

Tizoc, Perla and Carm are leaving the karaoke place and Tizoc is still pithed over losing. Don Chuy comes and tells them what happened to MA. Carm hits Leo with her fan, and Vilma just happens by and sees them with Dona Mati.

Guendy is talking to Lupe on the phone. Lupe wants all the info she has especially about where MA is, the jail that is. Guendy spills that Nepo went to talk to Ahole. Sucks to be Nepo, the Banana King.

Qué Pobres, Wednesday 6/18 (#117):

Hey everybody - I might not finish this this morning, because I have to go to the eye doctor and I've been finding it hard to follow the show without glasses (my last pair of contact lenses got too gross to wear yesterday and I threw them out).

But here's what I've got so far:


Saul tells Mike he and the hip barrio lawyer have ascertained there is good proof of Alejo's dastardly money dealings on the USB from Minerva, and there are probably proofs that will acquit Mike. He tells Lupe and they're happy, but he says he'll probably have to go to the capital and give himself up in order that the law take its course - but would she go out with him next day? Romanticismo. She wants him to learn to whistle. He tries out his barrio slang on her.

Diego and Leo invite Ana Sofia to a nice dinner with them, and Diego pays with real folding green, but after he and Leo leave Ana stuffs the dough in her bra and orders another drink. That makes me cringe, as well as the way that she refuses to acknowledge Diego's presence, much less thank him. She just refers to him as "the frutero's son"

Tizoc comes in second in the singing competition, with a song about his light-skinned fresa with her "airs of grandiosity" and she is delighted (and later crawls into his tent with him).  Loud smacking smooches can be heard.

Next morning, naturally Ana Sofia is hung over. Don Chuy says she should go swimming. The huge pile of Menchacas and Ruizpalacios say yes when Diego asks "can a refugee join you?" Also there is some random dude hoisting a dumbbell in the background. Looks a little goofy. Aww, Mike pulls Leo aside and tells him how proud he is of him for following his heart.

Then they all go to the hotel and the guy at the front won't let them in. AS tries to bully her way in with how wonderful and mediterranean and white she is, and the guy agrees to let in a few of them. Then Lupe speaks up about how that's racism and everyone leaves together.

As usual I can't understand banana king's flunky when he talks in idioms.


--continued--


Minerva drops a bomb on Alejo, coming to his office and telling him that Mike is Lupita's boyfriend. *gasp*! I don't know why, but I kind of thought he already knew. Anyway, muy impactado!


Guendy calls Lupita and warns her that the police are zeroing in on Mike! Lupita in turn runs to the Menchacas hunting for Mike. Meanwhile, he is setting up a surprise romantic meal for her by the beach. I am amused by the candlesticks he's fashioned out of upside-down plastic cups. He can't get the candles lit. It's quite nice, but as soon as they kiss the cops show up and take him away!!!

The Menchacas+ have found a place to serve them  lunch by the beach. Tizoc's fresa girlfriend seems to at least have recognized that racism/colorism was at play, and then Leo pays the bill which makes everyone very happy!


Ana Sofia looks on with revulsion from a la-z-boy in the sand as Leo and the girl  yuk it up and have fun with the Menchacas! This is the theme.

Everyone seems weirdly proud of Leo and Tizoc for riding an inflated tube of some sort. Oh wait, it's a competition, who can stay on top longer. Ana Sofia wagers money she doesn't have on who will win, but she gets the money anyway.

Que Pobres Tan Ricos: Ana Sofia goes tippling, Diego comes wooing, Tizoc takes a shower.

  • AS is boozing with her pooch. How is she going to pay for all these exotic martinis? The barkeep says, pay up. "You don't trust a woman of such distinction?" She passes him an expired credit card ("I hope the bank is as slow as always") and by the time the waiter is shouting, she has staggered off.

    She staggers into a luxury hotel. She orders a tamarind martini. The bouncer ejects her for refusing to give her room number. ("But you have a perverted face, I can't risk giving you my room number, you'd attack me in my room.")

Qué Pobres, Lunes 6/16/14 (#115): Water, Water, Everywhere

How many people tuned in at the usual time last night, waited five minutes, and then tuned out thinking there wouldn't be an episode? We started more than 8 minutes late. I don't know why.

Acapulco. Night. Carmelita's snoring wakes up everyone in the bus. Lupe and Miguel Angel (MA) go outside to chat. It's a full moon, of course, even if there's only a half-moon anywhere else, because couples like Lupe and MA get a full moon every night! MA talks about el mar. (Can it, Aldo! This is at least the SECOND TN in which Jaime Camil has evoked the memory of his romantic rival from LFMB.) Lupe teases him for wearing sandals with socks.

MA tells Lupe that Mini did, in fact, try to seduce him, but he didn't let her. Lupe asks if Mini's attempts reminded him of happier times. MA says he didn't feel anything at all. Mini is the past, and Lupe is the present. She's the only woman he wants to spend the rest of his life with, and he hope it's a long life.

Inland, Vilma regards some of the "evidence" Alejo has gathered at the Menchaca home (I think there's a toy from Emiliano) and says that none of this, not even the polo mallet, is enough to prove that MA and Mati have been there (to get the police to come here and find Mati and MA). They pretty much need to catch the Menchacas red-handed. For all they know, Emi could have taken or borrowed the polo mallet. Of course this only annoys Ahole...

Que pobres tan ricos, 114, 13 June 2014... the trip begins... and as expected, AS had packed her complaint recorder... but everyone else is up for the vacation. Nepo tries to 'cure' DA.

MA apologizes for the trouble AND for forgetting the febreze. Chuy rants at him. Lupe rants at CHuy and everyone bickers in response.


At Editorial offices, A-hole still arguing with cop that MA is NOT innocent, the cop repeats that the first shot did not come from the gun that has MA’s prints on it. A-hole gets louder and argues again that MA was teamed up with Bambi and they killed Adolfo, Ahole insists the cop should be scanning every inch of La Nopalera.

In the bus, no one is moving yet, they are still arguing whether to take MA along or leave him behind. Carm backs up Lupita, it is not Christian act to abandon someone in need. Chuy says its been a lot of need after need in MA’s case. Chuy mentions something that happened to DA, and Perla insists in hearing what’s up with DA. Chuy changes subject back to wanting MA gone, everyone bickers again.

Que Pobres Tan Ricos #113: 6/12/14: Acapulco Here We Come!

Hola Amiguis! We had a better epi this evening. So sit back, relax and while you are reading this recap, I found a perfect little earworm for this epi, cause I took one look at that microbus and couldn't help myself. Here is the earworm, Sausalito

Ana Chofi is praying to the Santa Madonna (Virgincita) and to Dios about Leo, how he is acting like a child. Ana Chofi surprises him and lets Leo know it isn't a crime to be gay, what is a crime is the guy he is interested in, that futbolista from the barrio! Leo can't understand why Ana Chofi always has to be so dramatic.

Don Chuy has revived, Carm and Tizoc are there, and he feels okay. Lupe insists he needs to go to the Doc to be checked out. Over his protestations they take him to the hospital.

Que Pobres Tan Ricos #112: 6/11/14: Who Let The Dog Out, Woo, Woo, Woo!!!!

I am putting up a brief summary of what happened last night on Pobres. Ezra may still be out of town. If he posts a recap I will take this summary down.

Diego goes to Guendy's salon and gets a new "luke", almost the same as Leo's.

Diego and Leo go to the movies and see a Vampi (Vampire) movie.

Ana Chofi needs a day of relaxation, she worked ya know ; ) She misses the Spas she used to go to. That gives Guendy an idea. Guendy's Spa. Perla is doing Ana Chofi's nails and Guendy asks if maybe Ana Chofi could work? Ana Chofi is offended, women of high society don't work, but Guendy suggests maybe something with the kitchen, Ana Chofi is horrified. She only knows high flautin' cuisine.

Que pobres tan ricos #109 06 June 2014... So close... and yet so far...

Sorry, I was having trouble with my tv’s so I missed the first 5 minutes or so… someone please fill in.


Alejo tries to get the straight truth about the origin of the polo stick from Emi, but Emi will not say, even when Alejo promises to keep the secret. Lupe comes in to Emi’s rescue.

Nepo gets mad at DA, DA tries to tell him the money was used for some art lessons. Nepo not quite good with that. You must be deeply in love. DA is about to explain that yes, it is love, but… Nepo won’t let him speak. Nepo won’t let DA give up futbol and send his life to the fregada… leaves Trofeo to try to convince DA.

MA and Saul… Saul tries to get MA to hide here until they get the laptop… not such a bad idea to stay locked in with an awesome rubia…. MA not so convinced… MA tries to get Saul to stay but Saul says his usual farewell gingle (quedo de uds muy atentamente SB) and takes his leave… to Mini’s delight.

The cops outside watch Saul as he leaves, and he even says hi to them.

Perla and Gwendy… Perla not sure why Gwendy wanted her to come to the farmers market. They end up at Nepo’s stand. Nepo is not a happy camper, says it is because DA wants to give up futbol. Nepo thinks DA wants to take dance classes instead Perla does not understand the reference to the dance classes… Perla offers to try to talk to DA to find out what is going on. Nepo accepts. Perla is sure she can convince DA of anything. Nepo very thankful. Nepo even had thought up a nickname for DA ‘el chichaDieguito’, which Perla loves.

Que Pobres Tan Ricos: Danger-Mike must flee!

Hi guys, sorry for the short recap, I'm about to go fly in a plane!

The main theme of Wednesday's episode is Mike going into hiding from his own hiding place (la Nopalera, I think is its fancy name).

Tearful goodbye w/ Lupita, they love each other, blah blah, no one can ever separate them but they have to separate until things blow over a little bit.

Detective Alejo gets a little closer to catching Mike - Isela tells him he's been hiding at La Nopalera. He will now set out to go catch him and turn him in!

Now Mike's whole family comes to give him a huge goodbye, even Ana Sofia, who is very lovey despite her tearful moping she's  been doing! She loves Mike with all her heart!

Anyway, please comment and tell us your favorite parts of the episode.

Thanks!

Que Pobres Tan Ricos: San Ciprianito loses his groove; Ana Sofia does NOT have a drinking problem; Mike gets famous

  • "I'm going to kill you, tarantula!" Alejo growls as he chokes Minerva. She and her mom are playing a dangerous game. The mother wants to trade Mike's location in exchange for the entire house, which she has always liked. She disabuses Alejo: "He's not bonking Minerva, he has somebody else."

    Minerva still thinks she can win Mike back and tells her mom she won't betray him. "But daughter, we have to think of ourselves."

    Vilma thinks the "piranhas" are pulling a fiddle. Alejo snarls, "It's your fault, you let your laptop get stolen." He's willing to cede the house, eventually, because he does not actually own it, it belongs to the corporation. Vilma thinks he's as smart as Napoleon.

Qué Pobres, LUNES 6/2/14 (#105): Ana Sofia’s Purple Haze

MA confronts Alejo (Ahole) in the office parking garage, asking Alejo how many more crimes he's going to accuse him of/frame him for, stealing all of his family's money. Ahole plays dumb, urges MA to turn himself in, and asks, "Are you going to kill me like you killed Adolfo?"

MA doesn't want Ahole to harm any of the people he cares about. Ahole pounces on this, accusing MA of fooling around with Minerva, which confuses MA because he doesn't know that Ahole thinks MA is Mini's secret lover. MA says Ahole resents him because Grandfather always liked MA best. Grandpa sent MA away because he didn't want him to become a vulture like Ahole.

MA catches Ahole trying to work his cellphone behind his back and tries to take it away from him. They come to blows. The fight sets off a car alarm, and MA flees.

Ahole returns to the office and uses his bruises to persuade the new police detective to hurry up with the homicide case against MA. MA threatened his life, Ahole claims. The detective is confused; he thought the RP company wanted them to handle this discreetly? Ahole says it's too risky. MA is too dangerous! Please catch him now! The detective tells him to calm down. They still haven't completed the ballistics analysis and they won't charge MA until they're sure.

Que Pobres tan Ricos #104 May 30, 2014. Reluctant appologies, reluctant promises, forced celebration speeches and one overdue reunion.

Once Tizoc and Perla hear about the million dollar clause, they barge in the room, Tizoc/Perla vs Frida/Leo. Leo and Frida claim that Tizoc and Perla have invaded ‘their’ property… Tizoc and Perla respond with insults of their own. MA is stuck in between the doubles debate match.


Trofeo promises the guy everything is alright. Guy leaves. Nepo compares himself with one banana, MA is another, and Nepo now is assuming the gringo the other guy was talking about is none other than MA.

Chuy and Mati come up to the debate… Leo and Tizoc get more offensive. Frida intervenes and Perla sees her open door to throw some more insults. MA tries to settle things, even says he is angry he is sibling of Frida/Leo. Chuy says similar of his ‘children’. MA tries to get AS to say something… ‘Salud!!!’

At office, Mini and Isela… Mini doubts if Alejo knows Lupe is with MA. Isela suggests find out what Alejo knows and then use it in OUR favor. Mini says there are priorities…

AS sleeping now, MA calls Leo and Frida over. In front of Mati, he tells them that he can’t believe how they behaved with Tizoc and Perla Ivette. Mati repeats, she hopes she will never remember where the papers are. MA tells her she was right when she said those documents bring out the worst in everyone. Mati says right, that money brought about the worst. Maybe that was a way from Abuelo to put them to the test. If he were alive, he would be ashamed of the situation of his family, he would die all over again rather than watch them fight for money. MA says he loves how she talks about the abuelo… Mati says it is a family tradition to honor his memory, even the board members at the company do it. Mati asks Frida and Leo to go find the Menchacas and not to return until they have apologized to them. MA and Mati end up alone. She tells MA he is her support… she now remembers how she would have wanted him to be there at Aureliano’s funeral. MA feels guilty he was not there. Mati says don’t feel bad, the past is over. She remembers a discussion with Aureliano when he had kicked MA out. Aureliano swearing he did it for MA’s good. She protested that MA went alone and pennyless, how can that be good for him? Aureliano says he will mature not depending on our money, one day he will returned a gentleman. He has to work and grow to feel proud of himself. As a father he was not what his children could be, but MA will be the best of RPs, no matter what it costs…the end will justify the means. Mati comes back to present, tells MA that Aureliano, with his rights and wrong decisions, always wanted the best for MA. She can assure him.
