Lo Que La Vida Me Robo, capitulo 194. 08/12/14. Welcome to Pedro's circus.
Skipping the old and moving right into the new.......
Nadia can't believe that Adolfo fooled them all. It appeared that he had changed for the better. He was so loving. Padre agrees. He was a good guy who realized all the damage he was causing by being el alacran. He tried to fight between the good and the bad. Unfortunately he realized the only way out was death. Pedro gave him no other options.
Montse advises Dimitro to finally close this chapter in his life and move onto a new one. He never wanted to kill anyone but once he found out Adolfo was el alacran he had too. Even though he knows that Nadia and Josefina hate him. Montse admits that all this affected Josefina greatly but she doesn't hate you. She above anyone knew that you had to do what you had to do to detain a criminal. I didn't detain him replies Dimitro. I killed him. That is what I wanted and he wanted too. A policeman told me that his gun was not loaded. It's true that he wanted an exit and unfortunately chose that way to do it replies Montse. Dimitro thought that once he killed el alacran, he would be free. But instead he feels cold and more dead then before. Montse advises him to seek peace from within. Your life did not die with Monica, you have to lifetime to live. You are a great person and I love you. Give yourself a chance. You are the only one that can. Dimitro says he loves her too.
Next day.... Dimitro stares at a photo of him and Monica. He walks around the apartment pulling down her picture and putting it away. The doorbell rings and its Josefina.

Que Pobres Tan Ricos #156: our loving couple is reunited and a pilgrimage is planned
Lupe brings her rose to Mati, who's glad to see her all better already. Mati asks how the divorce is going, answer: nothing. They find out from Carmelita that it was Alejo behind the terrible contract Tizoc signed, which MA bought him out of.
Diego visits Rita, he says he's glad he saw Leo but they are of different worlds and he's still planning to leave town. Rita suggests they could go off together and start over someplace else.

De Que Te Quiero, Te Quiero #154 - Tuesday 8/11
De que no puedo más, no puedo más.
Ok, can I just start with the Avances?Q.
T.
H.
?
Andres is going to show that picture of Rodrigo smooching the ruca (which annoyed me. She didn't look that old to me...or worn out) to Nat and she's going to fall for it?! Please. Make this stop.
Well, on to the recap. School started yesterday, so I'm a little punchy. Pardon my brevity and grumpiness.
El gets his evidence and proceeds to show it to Alonso and Diego (that won't compromise the case at all.)
Karina is still lonely and falling back into her old habits of emotional blackmail. She also uses the word "incubator" a lot. It reminds me of Diana. Alonso spends the episode trying to appease her. He knows he needs to get someone to stay with her. He ropes his secretary into the job. Meanwhile, the mail nurse asks a hospital administrator for Karina's phone number. I'm all for this. Maybe he will shut her up.

De Que Te Quiero, Te Quiero #153 - Mon 8/11
De que encontraron pruebas, encontraron pruebas
El sees Carmen's frantic mouth-to-mouth of the Mushroom Man and as usual, comes to the wrong conclusion. He kills a perfectly innocent bouquet of roses. Carmen tastes Paul's soup to see QTH kind of spice wimp he is and not only notices just how spicy it is, but notices the innocent face of Lupita peeking around the counter.
Grumps wonders what Rodrigo is living off of, out there in the cold, cruel world. But, oh, well, whatevs. Diego brings up his plan to partner with another company and Grumps heartily approves. Caprico's reputation should earn her the interest of plenty of suitable suitors. And, in the meantime, there's enough cash in the safe (dun, dun, dun) to cover their expenses for 2 months.
Rodrigo ponders how far he's fallen, having to buy suits…off the rack! At the mall! He runs into Karina, who mistakes him for Diego, but still wonders why he's at the mall, buying a cheap suit. He makes an excuse about it being a present for the chauffeur, for his daughter's wedding, and Karina goes on her merry way. She's already showing a little bit of a bump.
Karina was on her way to meet with Alonso. She jokes that she's getting fat and happy and mentions running into Diego. Alonso asks her to wait while he runs after…Rodrigo! Rod gets away, but Alonso calls Eleazar to tell him where he saw Rod. El says he needs details…in person.

Qué Pobres, Lunes 8/11/14 (#155): I'm an Executive! WHEEEEE!!
Can any other recapper claim to have done TWO weddings where the groom dies before he can consummate his marriage? Yeah, because I've done that. Here's the other one.
Leftovers from Friday:
- "How dare you hang up on me? Don't you know who I am??" Ahole screams into his dead telephone; Tizoc's manager Charly terminated the call some time ago.
- Frida ponders her choices: Adoption? Go out of town to have the baby, so no one will ever know? Or perhaps she can choose the child's new parents herself.
New:
It's the day of Lupe's surgery. She tells her family she's taking a Chinese cooking class, so she might be out late. (Is she planning to make egg rolls tonight after her surgery? Silly.) After Lupe leaves the house, Carmelita phones MA, who is waiting outside, to give him the all-clear. He enters the fonda and greets the rest of the Menchacas, who give him a chilly reception.

Chapter
193: Little Boy Lost
Valverde
House, Study: Dimitrio Mendoza had suspected that his old friend
Pretty Boy Argüelles was The Scorpion. Facing that this was fact
was a different kettle of fish.
“How
do you know this?”
“He
himself confessed to Nadia.”
“Adolfo.
Adolfo killed Mónica.”
“And
Refugio. And many other people.”
Dimitrio
took one second more to take this in. He silently left the house.

Chicago
Club: Back in the dressing room, Ana tells Johnny that in
retrospect, his reluctance to have children was the right thing. She
now feels she doesn't want to have children with him. He goes into
immediate denial, saying she must be joking. She sure isn't because
she reveals that she doesn't love him. Smart girl. He looks like
he's going to cry like a little boy. Sorry, dude; this lady deserves

TELEMUNDO Y MÁS: THE FRONT PAGE -- El Señor de los Cielos II, En Otra Piel, et cetera, week of August 11, 2014
Here's your page for the new week, folks.
Many of us watched the chilling Pablo Escobar: El Patrón del Mal. The telenovela inspired me to read Gabriel García Márquez's account of the kidnapped journalists' ordeal, Noticia de un secuestro and to compare GGM's version of events with those in the novela.
Recently, I came across a review of a novel that has just been translated into English but whose original Spanish version appeared in 2011: El ruido de las cosas al caer by Juan Gabriel Vásquez. The author -- as well as the narrator of the novel -- grew up during the bloody ascendency of Escobar. The narrator was 14 in 1984, the year Escobar had Rodrigo Lara Bonilla killed; he was 17 when Guillermo Cano, the fearless editor of El Espectador, was slain; and he was 19 in the terrible year when the presidential candidate Luis Carlos Galván was assassinated and some time later, a commercial airplane was blown up, killing all the passengers on board.
El ruido de las cosas al caer feels like a very personal novel, but it is well-grounded in time and place; it may be of interest -- either in its original Spanish or in its English translation -- to some of us who are still trying to make sense of that terrible time in Colombia's history. The opening sentence of the novel caught my eye:
"El primero de los hipopótamos, un macho del color de las perlas negras y tonelada y media de peso, cayó muerto a mediados de 2009."
(The first of the hippos, a male pearl-black in color and weighing a ton and a half, fell down dead in the mid-2009.)
The animal had escaped from Escobar's vanity zoo, Nápoles, and had been a menace to everything -- animal and vegetable -- around him. The decision to kill him and then display his cut-up remains triggered a media circus in Colombia. The writer uses this incident to draw his narrator's thoughts back to his own past and how the national trauma affected his life.
Interestingly, while author Juan Gabriel Vásquez lives in Spain these days, he spent some time as a reporter on the late Guillermo Cano's newspaper, El Espectador, in Bogotá earlier in his career.
You can get a sample of this book on Kindle, if you're interested. I'd be curious to hear what you think of it.

Mi Corazon Es Tuyo #15, Who's turn is it to clean the bathroom?
I can’t believe it. My second recap and our second Diego siting. The first one was on my first recap.
We open with Diego still in the jungle, still sexy sweaty, and still taking pictures of Natalia. Not sure what the purpose of the scene is, maybe so we don't forget he exists, they flirt-fight with each other, the end.
Nando is at school looking at a party invitation on the web. Ximena comes up and kisses him and asks if he’s going to the party. Probably not. She asks why Fanny isn’t answering her phone. He tells her that she’s fought with their father and left home over Leon. She then asks him to do more homework for her, when he hesitates, she asks him to come with her to the party as a couple. He agrees, Xi kisses him, and Gus snaps some pictures of the kiss.
Isabela arrives at León’s room to talk with Fanny. Fanny says she has nothing to talk about with an ‘ofrecita’. Couldn’t find this slang, but I’m sure it means a woman who offers herself to a man freely. Nice!

Lo Que La Vida Me Robo # 192: 8/8/14: Who Will Save Your Soul Fofito?
Ahoy Amiguis. What an episode. This is my last full recap for Robo and I want to thank all the recappers who recapped this longggg TN with me. Thanks goes to Urban, Gloria, NovelaMaven, Julia, Eli, Elna June! I have loved all of your recaps and most times they have been way better than the episodes themselves, it was a pleasure to recap with you. You guys rock for sticking it out. I also want to give kudos to all the commenters who stuck it out with us and the oftentimes hilarious comments and snarking that have gone on. What a pleasure it has been to see new people comment and also our faithful group that continues to comment and give us pearls of wisdom. I thank you! I have included an earworm that really has nothing to do with the storyline here, but we need some levity, si? So I have picked a great one for you to listen to. Undercover Karoke
Shall we begin?
Eric and Esme have arrived at Don Regino's home, that would be Eric's Papa. Eric greets his Papa and wants to talk to his Mama too. Problem is Mama is dead has been for months. Eric asks for forgiveness, but Don R seems to think it's a little too late, it's been years now. Not only did the Moms grieve for her lost little boy, she also grieved for Eric not knowing what had become of him. Don R tells Eric he is dead to him, and as Eric is about to leave, Esme, bless her heart, isn't having it and puts her foot down. We'll get back to them in a tic.
We interrupt this very What Would Esme Do, hereafter known as WWED, for the warning du jour, when PBN (Poor Blind Nadia) tells Monse for the fourteenth millionth time that not only is Vicki (Victoria) in danger but so are Monse and her children, cue the male chorus of doom (Thanks NovelaMaven).

De que hablan mucho, hablan mucho.
So.many.words.So.little.plot.
Vivi, thank you for yesterday's recap!
Really short and sweet. Minimal details.
- Irene and Grumps hug it out.
- El ignores Carmen's call.
Brat (Brigitte) is still looking for work. Paul le Champignon (MM) overhears her griping about her father not helping her. He doesn't think he should be just a sugar daddy. She shouldn't have something if she doesn't deserve it. Brat leaves in a huff (when does she NOT leave in a huff?) Carmen lets MM know they can only be friends.

Not the credit cards, too??) from Fannie, who’s careless late night napping at Leon’s has caused a mini-scandal. “--My house, my rules!” “--Papa, you’re such a disappointment since Mama’s death.

Que Pobres Tan Ricos # 153 : 8/7/14: Secrets and Lies, We Are Looking at You Lupe, Ahole and Perla!
Hola Amiguis! Let me explain how I recap. I do it by what I call free range ear and the way the actors move and speak. I use no captions and when they throw the slang in there and talk in rapid fire sequence or all talk at once, I have to think about the episode. I have a little earworm for Y'all to listen to Live To Tell! This is for you Vilma!
Shall we begin? We are in the juice office with Trofeo, Dona Mati and MA with the new Innocence Juice that is organic. MA has a great idea about marketing this juice and Dona Mati is sure that he will make this juice bidnez a success just as MA did with his bidnez in London.
Perla has fainted and Tizoc carries her to the hospital The check in doctor is rude to the Menchaca, he tells them there are lots of people ahead of them, they sit Perla down and she passes out again. Tizoc carries her straight back to an ER bed.

De que lo denunció, lo denunció
Read more »
Vicente pays a visit to El at the police station and squeals
on Rod. He tells El that Rod killed Alberto, and that it was his (Vicente’s)
fault for not putting a stop to Rod sooner and for enabling him. El graciously
tells Vicente that only Rod is to blame for his actions. It really seems that
Grumps has finally seen the light, until he makes his condition for turning Rod
in known. He thinks Rod was damaged by the 2 year coma, and that’s what’s
turned him into a homicidal thief. He wants the police to declare him mentally
ill and charge him as such. El is just gearing up to tell him hell no, when his
boss comes in and mistakenly thinks that El has reopened the case all on his
own, and is harassing Vicente. Vicente actually speaks up and says he’s there
to turn in his grandson himself.
Meanwhile, back at the mansion, Diego and Rosa try to
distract Rod and keep him away from Grumps’ empty room. Rod yells for Lala to
serve them some dinner, but she’s with Grumps, so Diego and Rosa lie and stall
some more. Lala, meanwhile, sends a detailed text to Rosa about where they are
and what Vicente is doing. In a rookie move, Rosa leaves her cell phone on
Vicente’s bed—the perfect place for Rod to see and read all about how they have
been trying to get one over on him. He erases the message and tells Diego he
has to leave to see a client. Instead, he goes to Caprico to transfer the last
of the company’s funds into his bank account.
The cops come to the mansion with Lala, who mentions the
text. Diego quickly realizes that Rod must have seen the message and that he
has fled. The police arrive at Caprico just as Rod has finished his transfer,
and he sees them through his office window. By the time El and his team burst
into his office, Rod has made his escape—he’s running across Caprico’s roof.
Diego calls El, and informs him that: 1) Rod knows; and 2) he’s (Diego) on his way to
Caprico. (Is it really a good idea to head right into a situation where armed
cops are searching for and gunning for your IDENTICAL TWIN? Yeah, the cops who
stopped Diego and demanded identification didn’t think so either.) El heads to
the roof and gives chase. Both he and Rod do some athletic jumps off a
neighboring roof and take the chase to the streets. El yells at Rod to freeze,
pointing his gun at his retreating form. Diego hears and runs right towards
them!

Lo Que La Vida Me Robo 191 --The Miraculous One-Day Redemption of Jose Luis Alvarez-- 8/7/2014
Dear Friends:
This is an episode that you really must see if you have
followed Lo Que La Vida Me Robo. It has some very sweet moments along with a
distinct foreshadowing of more darkness to come.
Sadly, I have a migraine headache tonight and I will not be
able to complete a full recap. Lo siento.
Here are a few highlights of the episode:
·
Jose Luis talks to Angelica. He admits he does

The recap is fully done, sorry it took so long but I had so much to say!
Editors Note: My dear patio peeps, this is the end of a long journey, tonight is my last full recap of Robo and I wanted to take a moment to thank all of you for staying with us through this whole trip, this story has taken some very dark turns and it has not always been easy to watch-let alone recap, but the awesome community that we have built here always kept me going, sometimes I'd read a comment/recap that would make me laugh out loud, or think about something that I would normally dismiss, all of you here through your comments have made recapping an awesome experience, I often wonder if you all realize how wonderful you all are? I thank you all for the kind words you have had for me every other Wednesday and encourage those of you that are lurking to come out and join us on the patio, we don't bite, we just snark! Again, thank you all for being total super stars, I consider you all friends and am honored to have worked with this team and to have commented along with you all. The recap can be found below, enjoy!
I' am skipping the old and getting right to the new stuff.

Que Pobres tan Ricos August 6: in which Perla plays a tree.
Ezra is in Canada so I'm subbing tonight, and skipping the retreads. There appeared to be missing chunks, did we lose an episode?
- I don't think "Cherubs Hospital" is a good name for a place where abortions are performed. Frida is shown into a room and while waiting for the doctor and looking at all the sharp scary instruments on the stainless steel table she loses her nerve and leaves.
- Emi invites Alejo to eat at the fonda. Chuy is furious to see him and, seemingly talking about mosquitos, says "We can't let these bloodsuckers in."

De Que Te Quiero, Te Quiero #150 - Wednesday 8/6
De que no está muerto, no está muerto.
Is anyone surprised that I continue to have cable woes? Now my DVR is freezing and rebooting itself randomly. Thank God it didn't affect my watching and taking notes, but while I was playing back to translate Tad's letter, the picture froze and the box rebooted itself. I took notes tonight, but not a lot. Sorry if there aren't more details. Aaaand I have another cable guy coming out tomorrow.Hilda forgot the address so had to come back earlier than expected. The door is locked and Rod is still with Tib. Hilda calls out that she's going to go get someone with the key and Rod slips out.
Andres acts like a petulant child and thinks Diego is just at the funeral to bust moves on Nat. Diego over hears and informs him that he's there for his Aunt, but if he's making Andres uncomfy he'll leave. Nat thinks Andres is the one who should leave.
Hilda realizes something is wrong with Tib and calls for the nurse (? what exactly was that person's position?)
Rod is back at his office and gloats about leaving no witnesses. He fires up his computer and gets a message about there being in interruption in the last process that was trying to run. He calls the secretary and tells her to get the IT Crowd (Have you tried turning it on and off again?)

Lo que la vida me robó, ep. 189, Tues., 8/5/14: Murder and Meningitis and Vengeance, Oh My!
Someone has finally noticed the elephant in the room, says I.
I have a confession to make. As tragic as Monday's episode was, I saw it as the awakening of Aguazul, and not its downfall. I've been waiting to hear someone say the problem out loud, as Alejandro did in his conversation with Victor...
Ese miserable [de Pedro Medina] está jugando con todos, colocándonos en situaciones que sacan lo peor de nosotros mismos. Quiere que peleemos entre nosotros mismos para debilitárnos.
(That bastard is toying with us, putting us in situations that bring out the worst in us. He wants to pit us against each other to make us weak.)
...and then to propose its solution:
Y tenemos que hacer todo lo contrario; necesitamos estar más unidos que nunca.
(And we have to do exactly the opposite -- we need to be more united than ever.)
When Alejandro stood up to Pedro Medina and refused his Faustian bargain and then later forgave Victor, refusing to see him as his enemy, and when Refugio did the same thing by refusing to compromise his integrity even while looking down the barrel of a gun, I was sure that this show had turned a moral corner.
After tonight's episode -- crap! Was I wrong!

Mi Corazón Es Tuyo, Tuesday August 5. Wrong Kind of Fire, Fernando.
An episode mostly composed of cute but pointless little
vignettes…until the end where Fernandolt takes complete leave of any senses
above the beltline.
Skipping the repeats:
Via telephone: Fanny and León Exchange sweet nothings while León irons jeans. He gets so caught up in the flirtation that he leaves the iron sitting there. If he scorched a hole in his britches, it would serve him right for ironing jeans, the adorable weirdo. Fortunately, he also seems to have forgotten to turn the iron on, so no harm is done.
Next morning, garden: Nicolás does tai chi (aka chai chi) with Luz, Guille, and Alex. They all have special outfits for this. FF>>
Now it’s evening again. Sala: Fernando is all giddy because Lolana has agreed to see him. Nic wishes him luck.
Casa Johnny: Fer arrives and is greeted by a VERY slinky seductress in long curly hair, a painted-on skimpy red dress, and a mask. Fer and Fauxlana slither all over each other, Fer nearly drooling, until he gets her to take off the mask. He tries to hide his reaction, but you can nearly hear the downer slide whistle. So much for that little crush. He asks her about the whole Italiana bit and she says that’s just an act to entice her prey.
Anyhoodle, menos blablabla y mas glug glug glug, she says, going to pour some drinks. Suddenly he remembers he needs to leave. She gives him a hard time, gropes him a bit more, and blocks the door, but he makes his escape. Ana, Jen, and Johnny come out of hiding in the bedroom and they all have a good laugh…then Ana looks sad at not getting to seduce Fer for real.

Que pobres tan ricos Tuesday 8/5 (#150) - we find out Rita's secret.
I'm tired from loading and unloading a truckload of hay for my donkeys today, and the subtitles were a mess, so this is going to be minimal. Please add what you will.
Alejo sort of promises Mati he'll get his lawyer right on that divorce thing, but that he wants to be with his son. Mati says she will allow him to try to convince Lupe (this seemed very bogus to me).
As somebody guessed, when Minerva does the big reveal of the next magazine cover, the model is her own mother! The grandsons share a united moment of flabbergasted astonishment. All say it's a risky idea but she's confident it will be a big hit. Mati likes it so MA gets on board.

Chapter
188: I Regret
Almonte
House, Gracie's Bedroom: Monserrat finished helping Gracie get
back to her previous appearance. She had colored her hair back to
the ash blonde it had been before Fabiola's suicide. She had applied
makeup. She brought the mirror to her mother's bed so she could see
herself. Gracie was pleased.
“You
did a really great job on my hair,” she said.
“You
look beautiful, Mother,” she said.
“Thank
you, my love,” Gracie said. “You don't know what this means to
me. I want to say it matters your caring for me.”

Qué Pobres, Lunes 8/4/14 (#149): Fear of the Unknown
We're in ultimos capitulos now, and the gran final is August 24.
Reruns from Friday: Tizoc and Frida "agree" that they aren't in love because they don't think of one another all day long, and Frida doesn't tell him about the pregnancy. Ana Sofia's swell friends bid bitchy goodbyes and say they'll be in touch. Ana Sofia complains to MA that Mati's dinner with the Menchacas interfered with her own plans to worm her way back into the good graces of the buena gente.
MA has already heard Mati's side of the story. Mati didn't know AS was planning a party that same evening, and it's Mati's home too. She has every right to invite people over. As for friendship, well, the Menchacas certainly are their friends; they helped them out when the swell friends didn't. As usual, his words go in AS's one ear and out the other; she hopes never to see the Menchacas again.
In La Nopalera, the Menchacas assess the damage to the fonda. The kitchen and dining area are thoroughly trashed; even the walls have been vandalized. But the rooms upstairs appear to be untouched, and nothing seems to be missing. Lupe mentions that she learned her lesson when the 300,000 pesos were stolen, and now all their cash is safe in a bank account.
But Rita's not home.
And Ahole is on the phone with an unidentified person who has confirmed that the job is done.

De Que Te Quiero, Te Quiero #148 - Mon 8/4
De que no murió todavia, no murió todavia
All the best clandestine operation planning happens in mall cafés. Which is why Morales, Diego, and Rosa meet there to discuss The Case of Rotten Rod.
Toño makes a brief appearance to help Carmen bring some groceries into the fonda and let her know that El left her a present. It's a puzzle. El texts her to say when she puts it together, she'll know what he's trying to say.
Morales explains that they're having particular difficulty busting Rod because Rod has the authority to move money in and out of the company. An audit would help. Morales brings up the payment to the shady shrink. Diego gets curious about the drugs when he hears that and calls Alonso away from Tad's deathbed to talk about it.
Tad reiterates his plea, but Alonso says he can't promise anything, especially because he doesn't know how Irene feels. "Just because you're gone doesn't mean her love for you is just going to go away!" Well said, Al! Tad just keeps pleading for Al is not to leave Irene alone. The lady in question comes in without hearing anything. Al takes his leave and Tad starts 'splaining.

TELEMUNDO Y MÁS -- Reina de Corazones: week of August 4 - Page One
Reina fans - you rock - more than 285 comments last week! As NovelaMaven already mentioned, we have decided to do two Reina posts a week while this level of comments continues. That way, we should avoid having to deal with the dreaded "second page" of comments, which is a pain and baffling for new followers of our blog. We will do the usual post on Monday and second one on Thursday, just before that day's capitulo airs.
So strap on those beanies and let's get back to the silliness, the mystery and mayhem that is Reina. We still have an opening for a recapper on Tuesdays if anyone wants to give that a try. It's fun.
For the truly obsessed, I have compiled the first four weeks of Reina recaps (not including the comments or corrections ) into 4 Word documents, one for each week, and put them in a public folder in Dropbox. It is very time consuming to try and search the recaps in Caray. You should be able to download the documents by following these links:
Week 1:

Mi Corazón #10 -- Hash tag# Golddiggers Aren't Always Golddiggers Unless They Are!
Viewerville revisits Ana’s unfortunate witnessing of the argument between Don Fernando and Don Nicolas over the wisdom-- or rather the lack there of—in Don Nico’s frequenting such quintessentially depraved nightspots as El Chicago and, his potentially picking some Latin American clone of Ana Nicole Smith to be the next Sra. Lascurain. Ana learns DonFer’s aversion to and loathing of loose women in shady nightclubs who fool men into marrying them for their money. She might as well forget ever telling Don Decencia the truth about her “other life”.
As for Fanny, she and Leon have motor-scootered over to the other side of the tracks to enjoy the heretofore unknown epicurean delight of such common fare as the taco. Once back at the college’s parking lot Leon offers her the pencil drawing of her he did; mentions his lifelong dream to become a successful illustrator; and confesses that he thinks she’s the prettiest girl he’s ever known and that he realllllly realllly likes her a lot—all of which makes Fanny’s day, natch.

Lo que la vida me robó, ep. 187, Fri., 8/1/14: José Luis STEALS Romina, The Scorpion Switches Letters, and O.M.G -- It was Victor Who Saved Pedro!
Reader Beware: We descend steeply from the poetic to the prosaic tonight, my friends, from the soaring imagery and singing rhythms of Elna June to the pedestrian plodding of NovelaMaven. [Just chew some gum and you'll be fine.]
Lo de ayer:
Poor Blind Nadia emotes.
How dare Montserrat sell out Victoria to save Alejandro's life? Carlota hears the kerfuffle, is told to butt out, but still hangs around the corner and listens. Montserrat loses her cool: what did Nadia expect her to do? She had no intention of handing over Victoria; she knew they'd have time to figure out how to deal with Pedro and keep their children safe.
[And I have to say that I go with Montse on this. Didn't Poor Blind Nadia ever watch Law & Order reruns (I mean when she was just Poor Nadia or even earlier, when she was Nadia a secas)? Because she'd know that the police always lie to the criminals. They say what they need to say to save a life.]
Victor quietly retrieves a pistol and loads it.
The Odd Couple: Adolfo Outsmarts Dimitrio
Refugio, after spending the day chasing down guitar boy and then lollygagging on the beach, has finally thought to call Dimitrio and tell him about the Very Important and Confidential Letter bearing Ezequiel's Words from the Grave, probably including the identity of Mónica's killer, the Scorpion. Of course, the actual Scorpion, that is, Adolfo, has also heard about THE LETTER since Dimitrio obligingly put the phone on speaker in his presence.

Qué Pobres, Friday 8/1/14 (#148): Ana Sofia's No-Class Reunion
Emi tells Ahole that if Mom doesn't let him visit Daddy, he'll defy her. Ahole tells him to just sit tight for now and don't let on that they're having these secret conversations. Emi can enjoy his time with Mati, but "don't forget she's on Miguel Angel's side! Be careful!"
The papers are signed. Don Chuy is finally the official owner of the house that's already been rightfully his for a long time. There is much rejoicing. Mati invites them all to dinner at the RP house. Chuy doesn't really want to go, but Mati indicates that she'll be offended if he doesn't. MA says he'll even stay away so that it won't be too uncomfortable for everyone!
Prince Emiliano finally makes his appearance. He greets Mati happily, but snubs MA. "High-fiving is for babies!" (Earworm: "Don't Gimme No Lip Child" classic version or loud. I chose the latter video over better ones because it's subtitled in Spanish!)
Meanwhile, at the art gallery, Ana Sofia is inviting her "friends" to dinner at her place too. I keep thinking she's got something up her sleeve, but sadly, it's only an arm.
Oh boy! It'll be like Leo's wedding all over again! (Minus the guests of honor!)

De Que Te Quiero Te Quiero #147 Friday 8/1/14
De que en paz descanse , en paz descanse
(Alt: De que el cable me vuelve loca, me vuelve loca)
I'm going to put up what I remember, but I've forgotten most of it in the blind rage at my DVR yet again failing me.Yes, it's true. Tad's cancer is back and he's decided not to continue any treatment. He wants his final days to be spent being happy with Irene and Natalia. The man is so noble he even apologizes for not being able to follow through on the trip to Paris. Irene and Natalia cry a lot. I am frustrated that the one noble and consistent character is leaving us. Diego also comes to the hospital. He and Nat are somewhat civil to each other. She hugs him and he is very supportive. Irene comments on the emotion in Nat's hug.
Tad asks Diego to pass a message on to Alonso. Tad wants to see him. Alonso obliges. Tad wants him to take care of Irene. (eeek. How could I forget the end so quickly? Definitely fill this in for me.)
Vicente continues to look pitiful and meek. He's also very confused and not all there. His lucidity comes and goes. He wants Hilda to bring him enchiladas (which just tickled me for some reason. I'm going to hell.)
Diego comes to visit Vicente. After hearing about Vicente's condition, he remembers how he was kept in a coma and drugged. He starts making connections. Rosa tells Diego about Rodrigo embezzling funds.
Rodrigo talks with the hired Doc about detoxing Vicente so no one will realize his confused state is due to the drugs. The detox could take a month. If they do it too fast it could be dangerous. I really didn't follow this conversation very well, so I appreciate any help.
Brigitte and Paul reconcile. Sort of. He wants to know who the baby daddy is and Brigitte balks. Paul makes it clear that he won't be bankrolling Brigitte. True affection or nada.
Paul and Carmen share memories of good times. Eleazar comes in and acts a little jealous and macho. Not horribly so, but it's clear he's bothered by Paul. After Paul leaves Carmen tells Eleazar he's worrying her and his mother with is mood swings and jealousy. He needs to take a chill pill.
Brigitte tries to get her job back at Caprico. Ha ha. They won't let her come back. I guess there are no buttons left to count.
Ugh. Sorry guys. I'm sure there's a lot missing.
OH!
Avances
Nat finds the wig and slaps the snot out of Brigitte!!

Weekend Discussion: Ultimos Capitulos and What Drives Us Loco Now
Getting
the Right Balance
I
had a thought just as I got up yesterday morning about how in past
Ultimas Semanas discussions people have ranted about how ridiculous
it was to finish off all the villains in the last two or three
episodes. I agree, but now that we have a series where it's
happening across the last three weeks it feels like the pain is just
drawn out, like a prolonged attack of sciatica.
The
explanation for this phenomenon seems all about the writers' need to
maintain a high level of suspense to keep viewers tuned in. We know
that's because cost-cutting is creating longer and fewer series to
make up the standard number of original hours. Nothing about that is
going to change anytime soon, so we need to stop complaining about
it.
In
view of this situation I think it's time that the writers give
themselves a reality check on two things:

Robo 186 – Maria Loses Her Head
Robo has dealt out dreck with a liberal hand,
And bade us sit down and enjoy it:
We could not but own that the protags look grand,
Personal trainers keep them SO fit.
But give TOO long a story and Televisa chances
That viewers with plus-100 IQ
Will stop coming by, giving glances
To see if Ale sports a new shade of BLUE.
Tonight’s actions are few, but they don’t lack import
Hang with the recap—tonight will conclude
Maria’s murder attempts; they keep falling short
Except for Sandro, the much ballyhooed
Blackhaired, handsomest villain.
As we start out, Refugio gets news
The scoop on Emeralda’s new beau
Erik is not the man Refu would choose
Refu sees him as a foe.

Que Pobres Tan Ricos #147: 7/31/14: Ahole is a Lying Liar That Lies!
Hola Amiguis! What an episode! I have an earworm for you that perfectly describes Ahole and here it is: Charlie Brown
Shall we begin? Frida and her Granny Mati are having a chat about choices it seems. Frida is panicked about this pregnancy and doesn't know what to do. Frida is scared. It's okay but Granny has her back, she'll support Frida in anything she decides, now what about Tizoc. Frida says no one knows, especially Tizoc. Granny wants Frida to tell him, it's only right. Frida feels Tizoc is not ready for a girlfriend much less a bebe.

Shall we begin? Frida and her Granny Mati are having a chat about choices it seems. Frida is panicked about this pregnancy and doesn't know what to do. Frida is scared. It's okay but Granny has her back, she'll support Frida in anything she decides, now what about Tizoc. Frida says no one knows, especially Tizoc. Granny wants Frida to tell him, it's only right. Frida feels Tizoc is not ready for a girlfriend much less a bebe.

Mi corazon est tuyo, Capitulo 9, 07/31/14 Hashtag: Love is in the air
Hello, my Caray
friends!
It’s been a while
since my last recap and I might be a little rusty around the edges. None the
less, here is my retelling of last night’s episode, in which we see how love
stories start – telenovela style.
It's the first time I see the entrada, have they shown it before? It's made of a bunch of scenes with all the characters playfully running through a maze. We get to see some of the characters that are yet to appear in the show and the band who plays the main theme. It's cute, but the kiss between Fernando and Ana at the end looks fake and doesn't make me swoon.
The episodes picks up
with the sad news that Ana and Maria are not related, after all. At first Ana
refuses to accept that her lifelong dream hasn’t come true, but Maria tries to comfort
her – she is sure that one day Ana will find her mom, so she shouldn’t lose
hope.
They hug and Ana’s
song gives the scene an extra edge:
si sientes frío /
If you feel cold
y hay mucha niebla / And everything’s foggy
si las estrellas / If the stars
esconden su brillo / Are hiding their brightness
si mi princesa / If my princess
perdió su Castillo / Has lost her castle
jugando en la arena / Playing in the sand
solo recuerda / Only remember
yo voy contigo / I am with you
y hay mucha niebla / And everything’s foggy
si las estrellas / If the stars
esconden su brillo / Are hiding their brightness
si mi princesa / If my princess
perdió su Castillo / Has lost her castle
jugando en la arena / Playing in the sand
solo recuerda / Only remember
yo voy contigo / I am with you
Ok, I need to take a
quick break and call my mom – this song is always making me cry.

De Que Te Queiro, Te Quiero #146, July 31, 2014
De que el no es bipolar, no bipolar
MM gets ready to return to France after ditching Brat because of her pregnancy. He actually says there is nothing to tie him to Mexico so he can leave now. Wow, that’s icky.
Grumps continues to question why Hilda and Mr. T left and slowly comes to the conclusion it must be Rod’s fault. Rosa arrives and hopefully these two will escape now. Unfortunately, their future looks bleak because Rosa is about to give Grumps the Demon (Rod) tampered meds.

Que Pobres Tan Ricos 146, wednesday
Alejo is menacingly telling Lupe there is no option for divorce/annulment. Meanwhile, EmiliAhole trots up with some bit of electronics or something, "just a little gift from Dad." I think it's a Wii U, and Alejo acts like he forgot to buy games for it. Guess they're going shopping! Since they are married, he doesn't have to ask permission!
Oh, some good news! Mike is w/ Doña Matti at the hospital and the doctor (and his colleagues, he is quick to point out) has done some tests and found her to be quite healthy. But he wants to do more tests, of course. Aww, she talks about how grateful she is of the help Chuy and Carmen gave her. Kindness is the greatest gift, etc...
Matti remains extremely calm, but is insistent that she will forgive Ahole. Mike protests a bit. She has an interesting stance - he'll always be my grandson and he needs to know that. She's grateful to him for sticking w/ Aureliano through everything. All she wants is to end the resentments. While explaining, she also mentions what may be the strategy with Ahole - keep your enemies close! Also, she doesn't know what kind of atrocities Ahole might sink to if even his grannie denounces him.
I don't know what the foundation is, but AS is at a pool giving a ton of money to some women (and also being mean and vain about the money that "God gave her." They still mock her for her disasters. When she leaves they all talk about her - she has returned to society more insufferable than ever! Now she's a terrible combination of Mother Teresa and Lady Di[iana?]. The ringleader has a wicked alternative plan for the thousands of dollars they just got from AS.
Oh yay, Tizoc's still in trouble! But unfortunately, it's not for being a turdbag. The agent just wants him to talk like a fresa.
At the mall, the twerp picks video games while Lupe attempts to have it out with Ahole. The vile child realizes they're fighting and runs up to talk about how great his dad is. Ahole: well, we can't fight in front of the kid. It's his new weapon - let's spend happy family time! Barf.
You have to learn that being a fresa is a way of life, of being a condescending dick. Fortunately it comes naturally to Tizoc.
Wendy is still talking about that mysterious woman from yesterday. She still wants to hire her. And GASP! The banana king is still married to the mother of his son!
Aaaaand AS is now transferring a ton of money to her personal account on the apparent cart-blanche authorization of her son Mike. Oops, how'd he fall for that one? Oh, she forged it. She has a moment with her dog.
Mati is surprised to see Frida still eating with the Menchaca. She notices that the girl is even paler than usual. Grandmotherly advice-dispencing mode, ACTIVATE! Oh dear lord could they go more overboard on the pregnancy cliches? She's putting all sorts of weird toppings on her food.
Haha look at Don Chuy playing the video game after EmiliAhole gets sent to bed! At bedtime though, the turd-twerp wants to live with his Dad. She says no and he pouts.
Doña Mati puts a plan into action - she takes the chofer to go buy some street tacos, all greasy and meaty and intense, and shoves them under Frida's nose. Predictably, the girl runs and vomits, and Matti gives the camera a knowing look, like this was some devious abuela-trick to get verification of pregnancy.
Tomorrow, at the office, Matti is planning to bring her grandsons together in her office. Also she reveals to Mike that he was always Aureliano's favorite, but the man never showed it because of some grand plan to toughen him up and prepare him for leadership or some nonsense. She says that everything the old man did to make Mike angry was completely planned and calculated! Flashback time! Grandpa wanted to make sure Mike was comfortable and strong and capable of holding his head high and succeeding on his own, not relying on a rich dad. Now it's time for the meeting... Abuelita power!
She makes the boys sit side by side. Closer, closer. Once Alejo is sufficiently uncomfortable, she announces that she is planning to resign as president. Aaaaand giving the presidency to Mike! Bomb drop! Oh cute, she makes Ahole vice-president! That'll be fun!
The new girl comes back to Guendy's. Her name is Rita, and Guendy got so excited about her that she left a customer sitting in a chair.
The boys start fighting and superabuelita shuts 'em up! I love her being tough like this!
Thus far, it seems like Leo has been oblivious to how awful his rich friends are, but it finally gets to him. I like that.
What's the one thing she wants Alejo to do. It's very mysterious and important, and she gives him a week.
Aww, poor Frida is worried and pregnant and she looks on TV and sees Tizoc being a dick in an interview and not acknowledging her!
Ha! Ahole has no one to take his worries to but Mini and Minimom. He basically is just taking out his rage on them but they get him back! He gets a call from Wilma, who's so mad that he's left her to rot. At first he's mean, but she says something (that I miss) that gets him to race down to jail to see her. Ok, they're now accusing her of killing Girón. She says he needs to confess to the murder or else.
Granny knows Frida's pregnant.

De que falso matrimonio, de que el matrimonio no va a suceder
Mushroom Man (MM or Paul) wears an outfit that rivals his hair, its horrendous, and makes arrangements for Brat to get his name. He tells her how he plans to make El look bad.
Mr. and Mrs. T move into his new place. The little home wrecking wannabe (HWW = little Al) is there along with Diego as well.

Lo Que La Vida Me Robó, #185, 7-30-2014: Pedro Beats Amelia Senseless, María Tries to Kill Montserrat, Gracie Steals Rosario's Dinner Plate, and Other Awful Incidents
Pedro and Amelia Have an Intimate Dinner; Only Pedro Eats
Amanda fakes affection and concern, fussing over Pedro as has dinner and offering him more wine. Finally, she suggests that he goes to rest in the bedroom. He needs it, she maintains. He agrees, throwing down his napkin on the table before he goes. Alone at last, she is breathing heavily and seems nervous and afraid.
Ale Decides to Bring Glad Tidings of EZ to Carlotta
Montse wants to know what Alejandro wants to speak to them about. Carlotta guesses it must be about Ezequiel, and Ale admits, yes, it is. What did he do now? Carlotta wants to know. She says that EZ ought to be in prison. She claims she never wants to see him again for the rest of her life.
"EZ died last night," Alejandro informs her.
The news affects Carlotta, and she asks what happened, but before Alejandro can speak she begs, "Tell me he died trying to help Rosario. Tell me in the end EZ did the right thing. Tell me, please."
"Yes," Alejandro says, slowly. "EZ sacrificed himself for us."
"Thanks for telling me the story," Carlotta tells Alejandro. She seems less anguished, and Montse tells her to get some rest. Ale assure Carlotta that she is not alone and that together they will all move beyond this. Alejandro and Montserrat leave Carlotta alone. As she remembers what happened she begins to cry.

Mi corazon es tuyo #8, the war is declared, signed, sealed and delivered... lots of emotion pouring out tonight....
Repeat of Isabela all over Fernando, Fanny sees the kiss…
‘you forgot about my mom quick, didn’t you?’
Fernando runs after Fanny.
Luz asks Fernando if Ana can have dinner with us… que chido! ‘don’t like that word… you can say que padre!’
Fanny won’t open the door to Fernando, but she does to Ana. Ana tells Fanny her dad has the right to rebuild his life. Fanny says it’s too soon, besides that woman is all wrong… Ana tells her no woman will be right… never mind, cancel! Cancel! You need to get ready for the dinner… even I will be there… (why?) your little sis asked your dad that I eat with you all… Ana fakes getting sick and walks out.
Isabela tries to downplay Fanny’s reaction to Fernando. Fernando not convinced. It might be logical but it hurts. Isabela offers to talk to her but Fernando says not a good idea. He leaves turning the subject to work ‘We have not progressed in our project’. Isabela, after he leaves, says I would say we have made progress, dear.
Fanny brings her mom’s dress to Ana… Ana is so moved her eyes are full of tears… resists at first but gives in.
Lo Nuevo:
Dinner is all fancy stuff, seems wild boar (Jabali) is indeed in the grill, split in half, roast pork style..
All kids are elegant dressed… Isabela meets all the kids except Luz… Fanny tells Isabela that Ana la nana will have dinner with us. Isabela fakes not having any problem with it… Meanwhile, Luz is escorting Ana down the stairs. Fernando comes in and is in shock… (someone please help him shovel his chin off the floor…) ‘She is beautiful, right Papi?’ ‘Yeah! She is very elegant! (to Ana) … you are radiant.. very beautiful.' Ana tries to explain about Fanny Sr's dress. Fernando tells her Fanny already told him and he is ok with it. 'Shall we go?’ Luz walks Ana out, Fernando is walking behind them, still shocked at the ‘view’.
Everyone is at a huge table in the backyard. Isabela and Ana exchange forced greeetings. Isabela starts undermining Ana, 'I usually forget the names of the service', ‘Ana... that dress is very high fashion (alta costura), but no it can't, since the salary of a nanny is not enough money to buy such a fine outfit. Maybe I will switch jobs. I will take Ana’s job… (kids shreak) I was just kiddin!!’ Isabela starts making goo goo da da sounds to Luz… and singing the ‘dos elefantes’ song… Ana tells her Luz is not a 2 year old. She is 5. Isabela turns to the twins and asks them if they like the music group 'Parchis' (the boys are as confused as me... que??)... Fanny tells Isabela 'it is a group from the 80's, (with hand hashtag gesture) you should catch up and hashtag yourself up to date.
Fernando tells the kids that there is a different menu for them, they won’t eat the crab. Bruno goes to Ana and gives her a flash 101 course on how to snap the crab shell with the thongs(?). Ana tries it and the crab slips off the thong and ends up on Isabela’s head. Isabela insults Ana saying ‘it is obvious a woman of your ‘rank’ (nivel) does not know how to behave in ‘society’’Ana comes up with the excuse that maybe this one in particular is still alive (LOL!!). … All the kids laugh, even Fernando laughs wholeheartedly. ‘We should do this more often!! Too funny!’ Isabel tries to follow along ‘I would love to repeat the experience… of course we will not always count on the lovely and distinguished presence of the nanny… ‘ ‘Ana!’ ‘Whatever’. Fernando announces to Isabela that Manuela fixed her her favorite dish, wild boar. Isabel stands up to thank Fernando, but at that time Ana looks at the meat on the grill and gets so sick she spits the mouthful of water she had just taken from the goblet right into Isabela’s outfit. Fernando is not laughing this time, he is shocked. The kids laugh it off again. Then Isabela tries to win over Luz calling her beautiful, but Luz turns it around on her, saying ‘thanks, you too, but Ana is more beautiful’.

A night of gift giving Mi Corazon Es Tuyo #7 07/29/2014
Sorry for the late recap, I have to do a bullet list just because work is kicking my butt!
- Ana and Fernando arrive home for the birthday party where the kids are ready to go. The put on a play, sing songs and eat cake, there was so much candy there! They also give their father gifts,a book, an ugly sweater, a drawing and I forget what else. Ana also gives Fernando a gift, a nifty leather jacket! I wonder how much that set her back?
- Johnny has to take a job as an exotic dancer, ewww who would pay to see that?
- Isabella tries to wiggle her way into Fernando's life by offering to get him a less traditional tie and buys him a hot pink tie, I dig the color, she is then invited to his house to work on a project and to stay for dinner.
- Fanny tells Gus to never,ever bother her again, she says he behaved like an animal and she never wants to see him again, captas?
- Ximena thinks Nando is not a bad looking kid and plans to have him do her school work for her. Witch.

Hey all! I only just
now saw a note from poor Karen whose power has gone out, so she can’t do the
recap. I’m doing a very quick and dirty recap in place of the fabulous one we
would have had from Karen had she seen the show.
Forgiveness or Truce?
Nat tells Grumps she really has no need or desire to forgive him, considering how horrible he was to her and their lack of emotional ties. But she's willing to make peace. They take each others hand. Grumps seems moved. Nat seems resigned but at peace with their truce.
El, Crazy or Crazy in Love?
Nat tells Grumps she really has no need or desire to forgive him, considering how horrible he was to her and their lack of emotional ties. But she's willing to make peace. They take each others hand. Grumps seems moved. Nat seems resigned but at peace with their truce.
El, Crazy or Crazy in Love?
El continues to be plagued by the even more diminutive Mr.
Mushroom in devil form, harping on him about his lack of cash to allow Carmen
and her kids to live in style. He consults Morales (who has just finally found a
recent and large movement of cash made by Rod). Morales tells him money
doesn’t matter; what matters is that El and Carm are made for each other. El
feels a lot better, and the BFFs seem to have made peace.
While El is taking Carmen to work and Lupita to school, Lupita
tells El she’s changed her mind about the expensive dress. She seems very
sincere in saying that it’s a waste of money. El gets annoyed with Carmen
because he thinks she put Lupita up to it and doesn’t believe he can provide.
Carmen makes a very good point about not wasting money on frivolous whims, but
all El hears is an insult to his manhood. He leaves in a huff. Carmen wonders
if he’s bipolar and calls the Mushroom for a consult. The Mushroom promises to
come over to the fonda to talk about it. Brigitte convinces him to take
advantage of this opportunity to cause problems for Carm and El.

La Que La Vida Me Robo, capitulo 184. 07/29/14.
Skipping the old and straight into the new....Pedro has the gun pointed at himself as EZ and I are yelling for him to shoot himself. Hurry up before the navy rushes in and arrest you. Now shoot! It looks like Pedro is about to pull the trigger but instead points the gun at a surprised EZ. You are here because I have decided it this way says Pedro. I wanted the pleasure to end your miserable pathetic life. Pedro pulls the trigger but unfortunately there are no bullets. EZ laughs and says you fell in my game. The plan is to turn you in alive so the navy can find Rosario and you can rot in prison for the rest of your life you miserable swine! Pedro rushes EZ and throws him up against the wall, throws insults at him and pistol whips him. The navy rush in but Pedro is long gone. The boys ask EZ were Pedro is and if he said anything about Rosario. Nothing replies EZ.
Outside a badly wigged Maria is waiting in a car and in hops Pedro. They speed off.
Amelia and Virginia sit down for a heart to heart chat. Amelia is angry that Virginia keeps questioning her decision to marry Pedro and send her away. Virginia believes Amelia sent her away to enjoy her marriage to Pedro and keep her from pestering them. Amelia admits the only reason she married Pedro was to find proof of his bad dealings. He never touched her or shared a bed with her. Virginia isn't buying her story. Amelia grows more frustrated and says there is just no talking to her. Virginia says she really needed her. She lost her father, sister and then her. Amelia says she did it all to protect her. She loves, missed and needs her. They are together now and nothing will separate them again. She wants her to find someone to love and form a family. She wants grand kids. Virginia says she met a man at Esme's house. His name is Eric. I don't think he is interested in Esme since he's a younger. I believe I caught his eye.

Que pobres tan ricos Tuesday: as anvils fall, the tarantulas gloat
I was delighted that Dona Mati's entrance was at the very end of last night's episode - I've had all day to look forward to her bringing the anvils. I had no subtitles so if you find this vague, fill it in!
Refritos: the fresas hate Tizoc's microbus song. and his manager threatens to kill him. I agree with them that he is an imbecil. Listening at home, Chuy reminds Carm that success is easy come easy go and he doesn't think Tizoc is managing very well.
So! At the editorial, Mati is welcomed into the room and embraced by los Ruizpalacios. "Quiet everybody. I am completely recovered and the doctor is here to confirm it. So we are not naming a new president just now." Mike sort of sticks out his tongue at Alejo, "so there."

Emi argues with Lupe about how he has changed. Emi goes to his room in a huff.
Lupe calls A-hole. He tells her she has to show up to the office with him to finish baking the donuts (signing the papers). Lupe agrees, but reluctantly, she was not counting on having to show her face.
The nurse is brought to the police bldg… Top Cop asks her where is Mati. Nurse looks down.
At Tomas’ Dr Miranda gives Mati the green light, he can certify she is fully recouped… Mati so glad. She needed his opinion… He suggests she rest another few days. And if you can spend that time with family, even better. Mati says she is already with family. Regarding the RP she will meet up with them later.
At club, AS is turning it on Beba, she wants them to bet some of their jewelry… The ladies take their quick exit, don’t want to play strip poker… AS throws kisses to the wind as the ladies take off… She also fans her newly won cash (was this donation from Beba and Chabela to AS' charities?)…
Chuy and Mati celebrate that she is ready for coming back to the wrestling ring… Mati says even though she feels guilty of keeping her grandkids, especially MA, in the dark about where she is, she wants to wait a few days more. Mati wants to make sure she is really really REALLY 100% ready to face the music.
Top Cop tells MA and Saul that the nurse testified that she blames the staff at the geriatric clinic. She is trying to wash her hands… The nurse says that since Mati was in the other geriatric, she also escaped a few times… so Top Cop has to let her go.
Chuy tells Mati that when MA took her out of the geriatric clinic and took her to the fonda, she did not look as wide awake and healthy as she is now. Chuy felt bad when she would call for Aureliano since he could not come to help her. Mati says that with Chuy’s family around, she felt like she had Aureliano’s presence by her. Chuy says that is how he lost his Marcelita. Mati says that life has taught her that sooner or later our loved ones that have gone still are with us thanks to the great memories they left us. We have to let them go and live the best we can in their honor. (Boy Mati looks grrrrrrrrrreat!!)
Vilma calls A-hole. He is trying to avoid coming to see her… Again she insists she needs to see him in person. HE promises he will come tomorrow, too busy today. When he hangs up he says ‘and you better wait another 30 years for me’.
At Fonda, the Menchacas are eating… Lupe sends Emi to bed. Perla tells them Tizoc will have another show tomorrow night. Tizoc does not look anywhere as excited about the new gig. Perla says we don’t want to see you, we want to see the other artists that will be there. She is excited about her newly found fame (as makeup artist??) Carm can barely contain her excitement… Chuy looks at her weird, thinking it is about Mati. She is super happy about Wendy’s upcoming wedding. Everyone talks about weddings, Perla mentions couples that were expected to end up married and in the end… NOT, like MA and Lupe.. She ends up making Lupe cry…
MA tells AS and Frida that he still can’t find Mati. AS is making a comment that Mati is in heaven surrounded by angels. Maybe the nurse that they found could tell us the truth. Maybe we could buy her to tell us. AS thinks they can ‘buy’ anyone to do anything now that we have money again… The rest of the family protest in unison.

De Que Te Quiero, Te Quiero #143 - Mon 7/28
De que con dinero baila el perro, con dinero baila el perro
Rodrigo gets Big Al's ghost to go away and takes a call from the shady doctor who's going to help him get Grumps declared mentally incompetent. Does this actor always play shady guys?
Morales hasn't tracked down the account where Rodrigo is depositing all the money. It's not enough to accuse him of embezzlement, since he can just claim he took the money for something business-related.
Brigitte scolds the Mushroom Man for not taking advantage of her drunk mother. He's pretty much resigned to going back to France, but, hey, he and Brig can be Facebook friends.
Alonso and Diego make plans to go visit Tiburcio and start his new drug regimen.
Carmen visits Eleazar and tries to use her feminine wiles on him, but he's too pissed about Carmen "kissing" the Mushroom Man. She tries to tell him how things really went, but he won't listen and throws her out, saying it's OVER. Carmen goes, but she says she hopes he won't be sorry later. Eleazar grouses about knowing what he saw. Carmen stands outside his door and calls the Mushroom Man to set up a meeting tomorrow morning at the fonda.

Mi Corazon Es Tuyo, #5. Beefcake, it's whats for dinner.
We continue our story with Fernando sitting on the couch with Ana waiting up for Fannys to come home, except Ana has fallen asleep on his shoulder. Fernando is so close to Ana and is about to lean in and kiss..., but no, he wakes her up, darn! She gets startled and jumps up and decides to go to bed. Fannys is tiptoeing in and proves how smart she really is by taking off her highheels and runs upstairs to say goodnight to Ana.
The next morning, Ana gets to work. She has a tea party with Luz, wrestles with the twins, shows fashion tips to Alicia, dances with Sebastian, does Fanny’s nails, and looks in on Nando but leaves him alone.
At the end of the day, Ana tells the kids to say goodnight to their father, but they said when he’s in his library, he’s not to be disturbed. Ana goes in to talk to him and he quickly dismisses her. But Ana persists, and sends the kids one by one to say goodnight. As they come back out, Ana high fives them and states they have started a tradition.

Que Pobres tan Ricos #143 July 25, 2014 ... FINALLY... Nepo and Gwendy engaged!! and MATI found her Doctor Miranda!! Tomas the hero again!!
Here's a treat I found from one of my favorite movies of all time...
Mr Deeds goes to town court scene https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=75Ic6hPsgmk
MA finds Frida eating ice cream like crazy in kitchen/dining room. She says there are so many changes going on in her life… y eso!
MA tells Frida that Lupe is too stubborn, too Menchaca.
Frida takes the entire gallon of ice cream to her room. MA protests.
Lawyer and A-hole meeting… A-hole fakes concern for his family going back to dirt poor.
Tay’s video shows up on TV, Frida is upset. With her painting the pamphlet says 'inesperado?’ (unexpected?)
New:
At bar named La Amargura (sorrow), Gwendy and Saul are wrapped in each other’s arms… Gwendy seems to be half drunk, seems to be ready to take Saul home for some pow-wow.
At studio, Perla talks to the models she helped out with the make-up. The girls say she is AWESOME. Modeling is a very hard career, besides being very short, you end up rejected after only a few years. Tizoc comes to them… takes Perla away. The models are a bit sickened by Tizoc coming by(?)
Gwendy and Saul keep it going at the bar, he finally gets the check. Her cell phone rings. It is Lupe. Lupe tells her about Nepo’s visit. Gwendy afraid she returned with Nepo again… on the contrary, he came to tell her he doesn’t love her. That he has the hots for a girl from the barrio. Gwendy guesses who it could be. (carror hair?? LOL!) Lupe says nope, it is some girl named Gwendys! He finally realized you are the girl of his life!! Gwendy says ‘men are like the two legged cockroach, until they see her with another, they don’t realize how much they care. ‘ Lupe tells her don’t reject Nepo just for too much pride. Gwendy says no, she is now interested in someone else. Gwendy hangs up on Lupe and says ‘sorry but Nepo already lost me’. She goes back to Saul and kisses him… He is ready to go to her place… but she has changed her mind… he wonders if he did something inappropriate… you did, and I liked it, but the issue is not that… then what? … she ends up leaving him sitting there… without a real reason. ‘quedo de ti muy atentamente, lic Saul Ballesteros…’

Que Pobres Tan Ricos #142: 7/24/14: Que Oui, Oui, or Que Padre Depending On Your Point of View!
Hola Amiguis! Due to a snafu, I am going to do a brief summary of Pobres. I didn't record and watched in real time and didn't take notes. Please fill in the bits I missed. Things will not be in order, just what I remember.
Tomas finds Perla's diet pills and asks her about them. He tells Tizoc who has a chat with her. She feels she needs them she tells him, as the top models are all thin as rails. He assures her she doesn't need them, she is beautiful the way she is. Later. she goes with him to his video shoot, for that stupid celullar song, and fixes the model's makeup. They love it up the actual makeup artist is not happy.
Ahole, while talking to Emi, tells him Mama and I are married. Que Padre! Ahole assures him that soon, very soon they will all be together. Oh, and keep it a secret!
MA and Lupe have a big fight, right in the bread store. He finds out that Lupe is married to Ahole and MA is fit to be tied of course. Crap, crap! MA I think informs Saul.

Weekend Discussion: Novela Genres; What is your preference?
Some people seem to be bailing out on Lo Que la Vida Me Robo because of the turn the story has taken. As long as Televisa (and other production companies) are in cost-cutting mode we can expect story extensions that do things like this one. I certainly will agree that doing this to a series that begins as a comedy without an advance set-up (such as we are probably getting in Mi Corazon es Tuyo) is completely wrong, but when novelas depend on suspense, we need to deal. I'd much rather have this than filler scenes that just attempt to inflate the original story.
Personally, I'd like to see more mystery-oriented novelas if we're looking for more male or younger viewers. The gratuitous violence and gore in narco stories is something I find as unappealing as the glorification of their lifestyles.
I mourn the absence of a good novela de epoca, but I guess the networks think they're too expensive a risk against the bleeding of younger and male viewers. Que lastima.
Be verbose, my friends.
