De Que Te Quiero, Te Quiero #40- Fri 5/2
De que no confío en el, no confío en el
Irene, Vicente, and Lala all come running into Diana's room. No one got shot, but they see the gun on the ground and Diana laughing maliciously.
Alonso and Alberto talk chicks. Alberto doesn't know where things are going with Brigitte. Alonso says there's no one for him and he'd rather be alone right now. He gets the call from Irene that Diana shot at Diego, but he wasn't hit. They just don't know what to do, so she asks him to come over. Los dos Als hit the road.
Paolo fills out his job application, where for some reason it's asking for the names of both his parents. He jokes with Abdul…"Should I say my dad is Eleazar Medina or Chato Reynoso?" He puts down Fonda Los 6 Garcia as his work experience and Abdul as his previous boss since, as Abdul says, Carmen is the owner, but he's the General Manager. Paolo gets worried when it asks about his criminal record, but Abdul tells him the thing with the truck doesn't count and if they need proof, they can ask Eleazar for a letter.

Que Pobres Tan Ricos #84, 02 May 2014... Ahole arrives unannounced at Fonda (yikes!). Salomon gets 'fresco' and receives a slapfest from AS. Emi 'meets' his dad.
Ahole gets call from Lupita. call ok will meet but we will see later about the surname, Ahole knows Isela and Mini are at table so he talks to Lupita with a lot of charm, as if she is his current girlfriend, and tells her his whole life are Emiliano and her. Ahole walks away after hanging up and Isela and Mini act offended, how dare he talk like that in front of US!. They start trying to remember the name of the boy’s mother… is it Mechaca, Muchaca, Isela even says Chewbacca, and Mini says no, that’s the hairy one!(these 2 really work well off each other in comedy)
Vilma comes out to living room, Adolfo has fixed her desayuno, she is shocked, no one cooked for her before. He notes every man should. When she sits down, she gets a call from Ahole summoning her to get there NOW!! She has to run out, won’t even take bread and butter on the go, poor Adolfo was stood up.
Lupe drops off Emiliano at school. Reminds him she will arrange the meeting to meet his dad. She tells him some things will change, like he will get his dad’s surname. He is glad now he will also have both his dad’s surname and his mom’s surname.
Carm and Lupe talk on phone, they realize Gwendy is again hearing from the other line, Carm comes in the bedroom and reprimands Gwendy. Lupe feels more pitiful for Gwendy, she is sad about Nepo not giving her even the time of day.
Lupe delivers chilaquiles at Mercado, apparently MA followed her to that stand from Nepo’s stand, Lupe and MA chat that Nepo already knows she is with an Angel RP. It was Gwendy who told him, she is incapable of holding a secret, so be very careful what you tell Gwendy. With this MA wants her to confirm she cares about him. He insists he can’t live without her and wants to tell everyone about their relationship. They are about to kiss but stop just short, realizing where they are. She leaves and again he is dancing for joy.

Por Siempre Mi Amor #107 (Mexico #146)- Run, Isa! Run!
Ay Ay Ay! I couldn't take notes fast enough, and half of it was crap I didn't care about!
Right to the new
Borlas tells Sonia that despite her rejection, he is proud of who he is. Borlas asks who is dad is. Sonia says it's better he doesn't know and that Borlas shouldn't go looking for answers.
The Doctor in charge of Isa's care (Dr. Santa) continues his online research of Casa Arte. It's the second time Isa was telling the truth!
Bruno and Gabriela (Gabi) are both at the restaurant. Bruno tells Gabi that Ally asked him to meet her there because she had something important to tell him. He tries to call her, but she doesn't pick up. Gabi thinks it was all planned.
Dafne (The Duck) tells Lucha to pack a bigger bag since she's still undecided about what she'll wear. Esteban can carry it. NEXT!

Nadia goes to earn some cheese while everyone else drinks wine: lo que la Vida me Robo Epi 122 05/1/2014
I over slept this morning but the recap is finally done, enjoy!
Refugio, you are an epic punk
We start tonight's show in Agua Azul, Refugio and Esmeralda are waiting for Montse and Jose Luis to join them for diner, Esme looks better but sadly she's stuck with her dreadful husband who can't even be bothered to listen to her while she speaks, he gives her a lame excuse about being worried about work and we know that Esmeralda is not buying it, finally Montse and Jose Luis arrive and thank god they did because watching the interaction between Esme and Refugio was painful! Oh but things don't get any better, Montse tries to break the ice and says that she believes that there's a lot of truth behind people saying that pregnant women are always stunning and beautiful and that Esmeralda looks great, Jose Luis agrees and things get mighty uncomfortable when all Refugio can say about his wife is "yeah she looks pretty." Someone call a divorce lawyer.

De Que Te Quiero, Te Quiero #39- Thu 5/1
"Pues…de que prende, prende!"
Eleazar plays along, saying of course he's not in love with Carmen…as if! He doesn't join in on Luz's hysterical laughter. He's not thrilled to hear that Luz encouraged Chato to have Carmen make an honest man out of him.
Paolo, Abdul, and Lupita are ready to head out for the day. Carmen has an exciting day of cleaning planned, so she doesn't go with them.
Natalia visits Angela at the Good Vibes kiosk. She fills her in about the baby being Diego's, then runs off to meet him elsewhere in the mall. He brought her a stuffed bear. Which is cute. But it would be cuter if he wasn't married with a kid on the way.
Carmen got stuck taking an unintentional cold shower. As she shivers and shuffles out to the living room in a towel, someone knocks on the door. She answers it, thinking it's the kids, but unfortunately, it's Chato. She goes to get dressed and trips on the towel. Chato's response: "Oh, please, hit me! With both hands, so the towel falls again!" When Carmen finally re-emerges, fully dressed, I ignore all his incoherent quasi-romantic babbling. And then he asks her to marry him.

Que Pobres Tan Ricos: 5/1/14: Talk To The Hand!
Hola, Amiguis! I have been under the weather since last weekend but I am feeling a bit better.This recap will be short and bulleted so to speak. If I miss something, please add/correct. I have an earworm for you and it's especially for MA and Lupe, What About Love? Shall we begin?
Agt Jen Gomez (Agent Jennifer Gomez) is wanting to talk to Ahole (Alejo) she has some questions for him as both Ahole and Vilma sweat. Ahole is blaming everything on MA of course. Oh, and he went to Italia have they contacted Interpol into his whereabouts? Agt Jen thinks that the familia is living in a hotel in Italia. She'll get right on that, takes candy from Ahole's desk and ends up spilling most of it on his desk.

The past
The witch doctor slithered in Art's bedroom to remember the old times, suck face and do the horizontal mambo.
The present
Her dress came off with one movement and they sucked face some more. Stupid Art is completely under the witch doctor's spell.
GIl
lets Cuca know that Borlas is Sucia's son. How ironic. Dan wants to
have a family dinner with Mari and Dan to let them know about Borlas.
Dan
asks Borlas about the test, he thinks that he passed thanks to Ileane.
He shares that he is in love with Ileana while she thought bubbles
about almost kissing him. She doesnt want to be too confident and think
that they are more than friends. Borlas is not confident enough to ask
Ileana if she feels the same. She is high class and he has a "little
thug in him" and he's from the hood. Some girls like a bad boy, oops, I

Qué Pobres Tan Ricos April 30: your blog mom gets her feet wet dipping back into the delicious waters of the surreal landscape of the telenovela world.
Hello friends, it's been what, two years since I watched a single episode of one of our shows? I got my son to show me how to record Que Pobres (because I can't stay up that late for recapping) and I'm going to try to come on board as your Wednesday recapper. I haven't watched a single episode of this show before but I think there was a lot of refrito in this episode so it was a good one to start with. Or (it just occurs to me) did somebody recap this yesterday? Oh well, here it is anyway.
Nepo is good at convincing Wendy, with a combination of bluster and puppy dog eyes, that she should tell him who Lupita's new admirer is. He thinks it is Don Alejo. She confidently swears it's not, but he realizes she knows the identity of the actual pretender to the throne. Not a very good prevaricator, she names an "Angeles Palacios." He wants to call the RP editorial offices but doesn't. "Get a gypsy to read the cards and tell you what you want to know." They take this discussion to the street. She reminds him he could find somebody else (perhaps herself) who would love him even though he's such a brute. Also PSA: the fact he loves Lupita does not give him any rights over her.
Alejo meets his son at school. I think he won't tell Maxi his name. The kid asks "Why did you never look for me before?" "Your mother never told me, she was jealous, it wasn't my fault. But now, you have to trust me. Here's your new cellphone, I am #1 on the speed dial, #1 is me, PAPA. Don't tell your mother."

When the money starts to run out your friends might consider pulling the plug: Lo Que la Vida me Robo Epi 121. 04/30/14
Hello fellow Caray Caray mates, tonight you will get a quick recap from me but I hope to be able to cover everything you need to know, here we go:
Puppy Lake is calling....
We are transported to Argentina, where we see a cute little girl named Victoria getting juice for her parents-Nadia and Victor, both survived the plane crash and although Victor seems fine we realize that poor Nadia lost her sight in the accident-which is a small price to pay in order to be away from her bat shit crazy husband. Victoria wakes her parents up at six am in the morning, and friends I think that any child that wakes anyone up at that hour of the day is just asking to be put up for adoption. The happy family gets ready to start the day and Victor tells Nadia that he is going to the hospital to see Alejandro and asks if she would like to join him-Nadia says she will tag along and they make plans to go after Victoria is in school.
Once they arrive in the hospital Alejandro's doctor approaches them and tells them that they have a serious problem that needs to be discussed. We later learn that the money that has been paying for Alejandro's treatment has started to run out-the hospital is requesting that they pay three months worth of treatment up front and neither Victor nor Nadia have any idea how they will come up with the cash. Victor is making only enough money to pay for their rent and for Victoria's school tuition, even with the little that Nadia brings in from teaching music classes things are tight, one day of treatment would cost them a month's wages, the only solution they can come up with is for Victor to ask for a loan at his job.

Qué Pobres, Weds 4/30/14 (#82): Daddy Issues. The Big Book. Blind Man's Bluff.
Miguel Angelo (MA) and Saul and Tomás
MA meets with Saul at their new hangout, the Popular Café. Saul has the paperwork for the house, as well as the "proof" Mini found earlier on Ahole. MA explains that he's giving the house to the Menchacas because it was his mother who stole the 300 thousand pesos. (He didn't tell Saul that before?)
MA tells Saul he's sure that Bambi hasn't incriminated him. Bambi wasn't even sure who he was. Ah, here comes Tomás. Saul is miffed to have been replaced by what he assumes is a backward, inexperienced youngster and tries to intimidate him: not all of these documents are in Spanish, so you won't understand them. Some of the files are encrypted. Etc. Tom says that's no problem. He's got resources, all kinds of people to help him, including a really good hacker. Ha!
Saul warns MA that once the Menchacas get the deed to the house, they'll kick the rest of the RPs out.

De Que Te Quiero, Te Quiero #38- Mon 4/30
De que se emborrachó, se emborrachó
Yep, it's true…Karina is, in fact, working at the Coffee Shop Company. And not getting fired, at least for now. She offers Alonso a freebie with his coffee and he accepts a "cuernito" (horn…either a croissant or a horn-shaped pan dulce with lots of sugar on it).
Diego swears to Natalia that he really hasn't been with Diana since he realized Natalia was the love of his life. Natalia believes him, but she's still worried about the baby. They both agree they want to spend the rest of their lives together and smooch on it.
Diana's clothes don't fit and she blames the baby. She summons Hilda and asks her to get bandages. She refuses to buy maternity clothes and swears she'll hide her belly until she gives birth. "But what if it's bad for the baby?" Hilda asks. As if Diana would care about that.

Por Siempre Mi Amor #105 (Mexico #144)- 4/30/14- Did I Say That? Did I Do That? You Want to Do What?
The past-
Dan and Agatha are searching for the church where Sucia left
her baby, Feo is still plotting, Dr. Santa (thanks Corazon) watches Isa's visit
with Feo and the Duck (thanks tofie) is still pretending that she can't waddle.
The present-
The Duck is still pretending and feigns embarrassment but
she is using her wheelchair to keep Este.
Miraculously Gil and Agatha encounter a priest, who was a
seminary student at the time but vividly remembers a baby being drooped
off wrapped in a blue blanket with tassels (Borlas). The baby was taken
to an orphanage and the resourceful priest recalled the name.

Que pobres tan ricos #81 Tue 29 Apr 2014 Of different ways men try to get attention from 'their' women
Nina fresa tv reporter (Valeria) leaves Bambi a voice mail saying farewell, thanks for everything… bye!!
Outside, MA has to deal with the police, during the pursuit the girl cop gets a good look at MA. They all are driving on reverse LOL!
At fonda, Leo and AS… she is in la-la land, he would pay 64K pennies for her thoughts. Frida comments that AS has not spoken for quite a while. Leo makes a snarty comment to Frida, and Mati rants at him about enjoying offending others. Leo defends himself, his only vice is art… AS has had enough arguments around her, can’t think with cold head. Mati adds ‘sonar no cuesta nada’ (dreams don’t cost a thing)… instead of thinking of something useful, you are delirious. Mati wonders where MA is… AS has no clue but she is glad he is away from Lupe. Mati gets irritated and leaves her.
The cops lost trace of MA. They argue among themselves. Anyone could be Bambi’s accomplice by now.
Alejo faces the board again… They say: ‘time is running and you have not fulfilled the clause of Don Aureliano. Maybe MA has been busy doing something to that effect and we don’t know it. Even if he is out of the country, he is still in the race.’ Alejo reminds them MA is a runaway from police. If he were expecting a child it would take months. You all don’t have to worry about it. Very soon you will get great news, which will convince you all that I will be the next great president of Editorial RP.
MA returns the car to Tomas. Thank you. I lost another chance to prove my innocence. Tomas is more worried that the cops recognized him. MA is confident they could not with his hat and sunglasses. Tomas still worried. Tomas says keep poking Saul about the Menchaca’s deed papers.
Bambi and his aunt get arrested. They argue with each other as they are put in different cop cars. He would rather go to jail than continue living with her. The couple cops come to question Bambi, but he just yells at them that he has no clue what they are asking, this is just a no-good guy he hired to be his driver.
Carm and Lupe, all Carm heard was that the nephew was a thug and they all got arrested. Lupe is glad that MA was not involved. Carm says MA is no thug, the one they arrested was. Lupe concerned that all the cops in the neighborhood will recognize MA and take him away. Lupe catches herself worrying about MA and says ‘whatever happens to him is not my business’. Carm says go preach that to someone who does not know you better. Lupe leaves to go pick up Emiliano.

Por Siempre Mi Amor #104 (Mex #143) 4/29/14- Seriously?
RECAP BY CORAZONSALVAJE:
We begin with Dena in a cute blue cropped-jacket and her purple eye-shadow going to tell off Gabs. Gabs clears her name and Den walks off with an "This isn't over yet" look.
FeVer is being himself as usual and spewing all his venom in Isabel's face while the doctors in the room wistfully stand there oblivious to the infamy confessed and threatened by the devil's ballsac. How do they not hear what that human scrotum is saying and the ONLY time they intervene is when Isa is administering a long overdue yet futile whooping all over FeVer!
Mao is with the police and aome diarrhea has hit the fan; FeVer's deletion of the prison records is now noted!

Lo que la vida me robó, ep. 120, Tues. 4/29/14: Get Back
or:
...what once belonged to you?
Graciela and José Luis aren't listening to each other. (So what else is new?)
She's going to help him whether he likes it or not. And he's so arrogant he thinks that by telling her not to interfere -- by paying her not to interfere -- she'll sit on her hands.
[Oh this is not going to end well.]
A glimpse of La Casa Rosada, Argentina's elegant pink presidential palace.
The scene has shifted to Buenos Aires. We are in a modern hospital room where Alejandro lies perfectly still, surrounded by monitors, an oxygen mask not quite obscuring his perfect features, his golden head crowned by a helmet of electrodes. A nurse, clearly fond of her patient and not indifferent to his beauty, addresses him as Alejandro and cheerily undertakes his leg massages and exercises.
[Alejandro is not in a coma -- he is under a magical spell.]

De Que Te Quiero Te Quiero #36 4/29/14
What started out as a tickle in my throat has quickly devolved into TB (that might be a minor exaggeration.) So anyhoo. I paid attention as best I could and took pitiful notes and the recap might have some holes in it.
Grandfather Vicente (Grumps) dips into the reading material Al left and begins to think about Rod. That can't be a life. Grumps would rather he be dead than hooked up to wires and possibly suffering. He asks Rosa what she would do.
Rodrigo's (Rod's) nurse continues to swoon and thinks she's falling in love. In his head, Rod wakes up (all white set=comaland) and hears the nurse.
Diego tells Diana she'll be submitting to a DNA test the next day...at a lab of his choosing!
Alonso (Al) has followed Irene to Caprico. He apologizes and plants a wet one on her. Irene rejects him. Eleazar (El) is dropping Natalia (Nat) off at Caprico. The 2 love-sick amigos decide to grab a drink.

Por Siempre Mi Amor #103 (Mex #142) 4/28/14 The Alliance from Hell
We have had such a great discussion going on in the comments about the men in this telenovela. There seems to be unanimous agreement that Arturo is the worst galan ever and the rest of the men (with the exception of Mauricio and perhaps Fabricio) are selfish wimps who are dumber than dryer lint. None of our female commenters would ever want to be stuck with Arturo and we don't want Isabel to be stuck with him either.
What has happened to the men in telenovelas? Maybe it's a reflection of what is happening to men in our society. The following paragraphs are taken from an article titled "Camille Paglia: A Feminist Defense of Masculine Virtues" published in the Wall Street Journal in Dec. 2013.
"What you're seeing is how a civilization commits suicide," says Camille Paglia. ...her indictment may be as surprising as it is wide-ranging ... But no subject gets her going more than when I ask if she really sees a connection between society's attempts to paper over the biological distinction between men and women and the collapse of Western civilization.
... Ms. Paglia argues that the softening of modern American society begins as early as kindergarten. "Primary-school education is a crock, basically. It's oppressive to anyone with physical energy, especially guys," she says, pointing to the most obvious example: the way many schools have cut recess. "They're making a toxic environment for boys. Primary education does everything in its power to turn boys into neuters."

Qué Pobres, Lunes 4/28/14 (#80): Bambi and the Bimbo
I've been out of the loop for about a week, and am behind on reading recaps and comments, so please forgive me if some of this is a rerun:
Alejo (Ahole) wants to give Emiliano his name. He reminds Lupita that he has every right to be in Emil's life. Lupita asks him to give her some time. ("I need some time" appears to be the only strategy in her repertoire for dealing with difficult situations. Not that I have a better suggestion.) She asks Ahole to give her and Emiliano some space while she comes to terms with this.
Drunker than ever, AS assures MA she'll pay back the money she stole from the Menchacas. She tells Chuy she'll pay every cent after Leo gets married. She doesn't go so far as to reveal that it was actually she and not MA who stole the money, though, and she has to endure some "supportive" comments from Chuy about parents who are disgraced by their children's behavior.
Bambi's bimbo reporter hassles the married police detectives about some "rumors," but I miss most of this scene.
MA agrees to let Tomas handle his case, though he has second thoughts when he finally accepts Tom's "card" and see's that it's handwritten. But the partnership quickly pays off in an unexpected way: MA needs to borrow a car for the chauffeuring gig with Bambi's aunt, and Tomas is able to hook him up. One of his divorce clients got a car from his wife as part of his settlement, and he owes Tomas a favor. Wow! Tomas must be really good. Someday he will be able to buy a suit that fits him.

De Que Te Quiero, Te Quiero #36- Mon 4/28
De que el amor no tiene edad, el amor no tiene edad
Luz agrees to babysit Chato.
Diego brings Natalia a giant greeting card. AT WORK?! Dude…what are you thinking? Discretion is the better part of a smooth divorce.
Rosa escorts Vicente down to his home office and gets him to hang out on the couch while she does the actual searching for info on the computer. Vicente starts looking through the books Irene left there last night.
Alberto shows up to see Diego and hears some mushy talk via the speakerphone. Maybe Alberto can talk some sense into him. Alberto tells him that Diana only has another 24 hours to "prove" his infidelity. Diego says that's no problem, since he and Natalia have decided not to have a relationship until the divorce is final. Clearly that doesn't mean the same thing to him as it does to me. He's grumpy about Brigitte knowing his personal bidness, but Alberto says she didn't find out from him. Speaking of people who need some sense talked into them….
Eleazar and Paolo talk about Chato…specifically about being suspicious about him.
Chato is enjoying Luz's cooking. He tries to pump Luz for information about Lupita so he can figure out how he can win her over. Well, Chato, it's not difficult. You just have to be a decent guy.

Lo Que la Vida Me Robó Lunes 4/28/14 # 119
Chapter
119: Bitter Memories
Ligera
Tentación: José Luis walked into the nightclub
bakery just at closing time, staring at his one-time love after
almost seven years of staring at stone walls. She was exactly as he
remembered her, light blonde with eyes like sapphires and a figure
that could stop traffic.
“I'd
like some coffee, please, and cake... can you tell me what's the
specialty of the house?”
Monserrat
looked up in surprise. She had not expected to see him. “You look
different.”
“Yes.
It's been a long time. You are still beautiful, Monserrat.”
She
was obviously uncomfortable as she asked “What do you want, José
Luis?” She then looked down at the books she was looking to close
out for the day.
