Lo Que La Vida Me Robo, Capitulo 140. 05/27/14.

Sorry folks.  Something happened to the channel and 3/4 of the show was pink screen.  I tried looking online for it and nothing.  Think Televisa has been cleaning house.  So I will re-cap what I could see.  Please fill in what was missed in the comments section if you were able to see it (I have DISH). 

Ok, so today is not my day.  I wrote an kick-a$$ re-cap (well a short one anyway) and POOF! gone!!!!  I don't know what button I pressed or if it is somewhere around here, but I am doing another one.  This unforuntately will be short.  Enjoy.

Que Pobres Tan Ricos - wedding anvils R us.

Wow, tonight we got to see the mighty deception begin to crumble - the cracks are widening and water is spurting through, but the dam will break tomorrow!

Ana Sofia's refrains tonight: "Why does this happen to me?" (The way Scarlett O'Hara regarded the Civil War - such an impediment to her happiness!) and "Just keep dancing! There's nothing to see here!"

Isela is drunk. Perla faints. Minerva, enraged at the sight of Mike and Lupita macking, throws a pebble at them.

De Que Te Quiero Te Quiero #68/69 5/27/14

De que volvió a renunciar, volvió a renunciar.

Morales follows Irene and pulls her over. At the station, El asks Alonso if he's sure he wants to continue with whatever they've cooked up. Al is sure.

Brigitte and Karina continue to plot against Irene and Alonso.

Morales claims that a car matching Irene's has been reported as stolen. He inspects the car and calls it in. He wants to see the car's registration, but they aren't in the car. More comps show up. They keep talking about a 1028 and won't answer Irene's questions. They ask her to come to the station

Rod yells at Rosa and then calls a sketchy guy. Apparently Diego fired this guy for fraud, but Rod wants to hire him back. They will meet later.

Grumps comes looking for Irene. Nat covers for Irene. Bri realizes she's covering for Irene and Nat lets it slip that Irene is with Al. Bri decides to be proactive for Karina's sake.

De Que Te Quiero, Te Quiero #66/67- Mon 5/26

De que lo que temíamos no pasó, no pasó

Randy Rod and his hot rod volunteer to find a romantic place to have his way with Natalia.

Irene is in a hideous mood and takes it out on Natalia, who shows up late.  Brigitte is loving that Natalia's the one getting yelled at today.

Randy Rod makes a hotel reservation for tonight.  He fakes his way through greeting Irene and asking about…um…er…Tad…whoever that is.  He then sends her to Vicente's office ahead of him to buy himself time to look for the paperwork alone.

Nurse Irma pumps Rod's doctor for info so she can keep Diego coma-ing on.  He thinks she's hitting on him and invites her to dinner.  It's so rare to find a woman who's interested in talking about coma drugs.

Vicente has been scouting and selecting fabric suppliers for Eskenda.  Irene's feeling blindsided by that and concerned about the quality of the fabric, since she assumes Vicente will be most interested in price.  Randy Rod asks for Eskenda to have control of, and funding for, its own budget and Vicente, surprisingly, agrees.  Of course, we all know he's doing it to bilk the company, but Vicente probably sees it as a way to keep the entire company from getting dragged down by Eskenda.

Qué Pobres, Lunes 5/26/14 (#100): A Sea of Porca Miseria

Wowie wow wow. Hold onto your sombreros!

Ana Sofia takes one look at the decorations (balloons) for the wedding and complains that they are a monument to poor taste. (It takes one to know one!) That and more verbal abuse from AS induces Lupe to quit "Until you apologize."

Miguel Angel happens by and tries to get his mother to apologize. Even Leo, unsure as he is about this wedding, begs her to make nice. AS says it is humiliating, but she will do it for her children: she averts her eyes, gazes skyward, and utters a feeble "Sorry."

Over MA's protests ("Apologize to Lupe, not to the birds, air, and trees!"), Lupe accepts the weak gesture of contrition but reminds AS to respect the rest of the Menchacas as well.

Carmela leaves Emiliano at Paco's house and tells Paco's mother that Lupe will come for him this evening.

Mini and Isela prepare to crash the wedding.

AS tries to get Perla to lose the flower in her hair, but Lupe intervenes. The flower can stay! Perla offers to get one for AS. (Declined!) Later, AS bad-mouths the indoor decorations with Leo when the Menchacas approach... she quickly changes her tune, says everything looks great, and even thanks them. (Briefly.)

Confidentially, Leo asks the Menchacas of the decorations: "I have just one question: Why the Styrofoam?"

Chapter 139: Silence Is Deadly


Mendoza Mansion: In her endless attempt at defrauding anyone out of the most money she could, Gracie asked Pedro Medina for help.

Help me destroy Fabiola Guillen.”

He looked at her with ironic amusement and a smile that betrayed it. “Graciela, Ezequiel never suspected all this time? The woman whom you're looking to destroy could be the daughter you had with Benjamín Almonte.”

Sorry folks.  You'll have to wait until Tuesday for a new episode of this one.

Tonight Telemundo is dedicating its primetime slot to getting everyone hyped up about the Tuesday premiere of El Señor de los Cielos 2, which replaces Camelia.  That means fans of En Otra Piel (and La Impostora) will have to wait until Tuesday for their next novela fix.

Lo que la vida me robó, ep. 138, Fri., 5/23/14: The Honeymoon is Over, and the Dirty Secrets are Busting Out All Over


Eating With The Enemy

In a dinner table scene they have surely played many times before, Graciela needles EZ about his dirty money, he reminds her she is free to leave any time, and she reminds him of their deal (Does she mean that she gets to live in the Mendoza-Basurto house until she dies?) He acknowledges the final point with a good-natured smile.  (Maybe he has reason to believe that endpoint will arrive sooner rather than later.)

A Soul in Pain

After her barbed exchange with Ezequiel, Graciela retreats to her bedroom. She is startled by Alejandro's sudden emergence from the shadows, though she rapidly recovers her imperious bearing.  How dare he just materialize out of nowhere like that, like a specter! (como si fueras un alma en pena: as if you were a ghost/a lost soul). 

Alejandro has come to say he is leaving Aguazul.  He has, however, one condition: she is not to tell anyone -- not the police and especially not Pedro Medina -- that she has seen him.  They snarl and circle and show their excellent teeth: he has some nerve making demands on her; she'll be sorry if she opens her mouth.   In the end, she says she'll keep quiet about him, but only because it's in her own interest to do so.

Que pobres tan Ricos #99 May 23, 2014... pre-wedding jitters... One nervous groom, one proud mama, one miffed bride, two fake in-law thieves and two suspicous siblings, stir it all together, pour in baking pan and bake until Monday

We get some pretty good sight-seeing seconds (are they near Guadalajara?, that is west coast about center of mex... near Guanajuato and Puerto Vallarta, right?)…

School playground, Emi spots A-hole and runs to him. A-hole fakes happy to see him. Says Emi’s new shoes are ugly. Offers to buy him whatever tennis shoes he wants. Lupe not amused. That’s not how it is. A-hole argues his case. What’s the problem? Lupe says won’t allow him to buy expensive shoes for Emi. She lets Emi walk away with A-hole. A-hole takes jacket off to play with him. He is obviously not enjoying himself when Lupe is not looking.

Hacienda: AS, Leo and Frida arrive, the employee leads them around. MA arrives. Leo is eager to introduce MA to his new in-laws. AS and DaVinci are still wearing the matching gray outfits. AS criticizes MA’s outfit, even though he looks good. He says he has not much money, he bought the best he found at a second hand store. Frida says it might not look the best but they might not notice it. AS says our future depends on it. It is the end of one ‘world’ and the beginning of another.

Lupe says we gotta go. Emi asks A-hole when will see him again. A-hole says don’t get your mommy mad at you. Whenever you need you can call me. Emi says Lupe took his phone away. A-hole gives him a card to use to call him. Emi and A-hole walk back to Lupe. A-hole has a last gift for Emi. It is a playstation Vita.

At hacienda, the condes have arrived, AS says it is ‘our’ hacienda ‘our house is your house’. Maca introduces the ‘parents’ the ‘condes’. AS introduces her family. The bowing is significantly overdone by MA who almost puts his head on his knees. The ‘countess’ clarifies they should keep referring to them as ‘the countess’ . The count is not so demanding. Salomon interferes and gives the condes his business card ‘for whatever you might need’. They all go inside except AS and Salomon.

De Que Te Quiero Te Quiero 5/23/14 Episodes #64 and 65

De que se despertó el diablo, se despertó el diablo.

I didn't take any notes and I didn't pay close attention. I'll get up early tomorrow and write a recap for realz. Oh, and Diana was an angel compared to the new crop of demons.
  • Eleazar is going to invest his life savings in helping Carmen out. They are going to become business partners. They throw in some smoochies for good measure...but don't think they are officially off the ground yet. Be sure to see the scene where Abdul interrupts Eleazar's profession of love. Cynthia and Marcelo are masterful. Holy crap I love watching these two consummate actors.
  • Rodrigo is awake and despite a few flubs, he's passing himself off as Diego (albeit a Diego that is behaving oddly.) And he's going to be wreaking havoc. He plans to empty Diego's bank accounts and take Natalia's virginity. While he waits for Nat, he'll be getting his nookie from Brigitte and Irma.
  • Speaking of Irma, she warns Rod that there are grave consequences to keeping Diego in a coma too long. One of which is permanent amnesia. Rod doesn't give hoot. He figures that will even things up after losing two years of his life. Irma has to give Diego an extra dose since the drug doesn't seem to keep Diego in a very deep coma. Rod wants her to do something and he'll pay her well for it. He tells her to open and account so he can make the transfer. This is the second time a character has had to open an account. Chato took Lupita to a bank. I bet a bank is the product placement.
  • "Diego" tries to convince Vicente to pull the plug on "Rodrigo." Vicente doesn't want to. Thank heaven.

Weekend Discussion: TVyNovela Award Shows

By CorazonSalvaje:

Hey I wanted to make a Weekend Discussion. Since you guys are always saying the TVyNovelas Award Shows are rigged, we can discuss to whom we'd give the prizes to.

(I'll start it like this.)
So I noticed you guys make remarks about the TVyNovelas Award Shows which I have come to agree with. I feel as well that these shows are unfair at times but the fairest I think I've seen are 1999 (El Privilego de Amar taking them all is perfectly fine.) and 2014 (Amores Verdaderos taking a majority is OK as well.)

Ignacio Sada Madero has a Simplemente Maria remake in the works (He is one who is capable of writing good novelas which are often overlooked but honestly mentioned with affection. La Intrusa comes to mind and I think the ONLY reason(s) Bajo Las Riendas del Amor was rebuffed at the Premios TVyNovelas is because Mejia was associated with it. That and Destilando Amor robbing everything cough-Pasion-cough. I think the only awards I agreed with that year were the ones going to Lola Erase Una Vez and Pasion albeit 2 each. I think-
TBLMOE or Ed. Santamarina deserved best homme lead (but let's be real, all three leads were worthy of the prize. The only other lead was Gabriel Soto whom I can't stand.)
Angelica Rivera or Adriana Fonseca deserved best femme lead (Tie please!)
Adamariz Lopez deserved best femme fatale (but Daniela Castro was worthy as well. Keep in mind I include Bajo Las Riendas since it WAS  a Carla Estrada refrito which was harassed by Mejia. So in a way, she has 2 things for her LOL)
Bouffy or Alexis Ayala deserved best homme fatale)
Ana Martin deserved her award but I'm a sucker for Silvia Mariscal.
Marisol and German from Pasion deserved their awards.
Direccion de Camaras- Lola Erase Una Vez just because.
Escenas-Destilando Amor (was there a love scene in a barn? I remember one that was hot. Either that or Pasion because of Bouffy's decapitation scene.)
The revelation award does deserve to go to Eiza but her nominee Ariadne deserved it as well. Maybe a tie (in 2012, there was a tie for it with Laura Carmine and Alejandra Garcia.)
Best kid role went to Octavio Ocana which I agree with just because I wanted Lola Erase Una Vez to win in all it's 3 nominations LOL. (Danna Paola could have begged for a tie however.)

What is your opinion on these shows?

Que Pobres Tan Ricos #98: 5/22/14: Hasta Nunca Porca Miseria!

Hola Amiguis! What an episode this evening! We start with an earworm. This one is dedicated to Leo from Diego. Let's hope Leo gets the message: Take A Chance On Me

We begin with MA and Lupe in the afterglow of their time together and Mini has continued to call. Lupe insists that MA call Mini back to find out what the heck she wants, it could be important. So MA answers the phone. Mini has called MA to let him know that Ahole suspects MA is in Mexico and to be careful, cause Ahole is dangerous, Mini just called to warn him. Mini hears a noise and suspects MA is not alone, so she asks him. He tells Mini his private life is private and click, hangs up! Mini is beyond pithed that MA is with that woman. Throughout the next five minutes or so, MA asks Lupe if she is jealous of Mini, she denies, he asks and he ends up hitting her with a pillow as she does him. MA assures Lupe he is only talking to Mini to help him prove his innocence and nothing else. He'll be with Lupe foreva and eva. Do you see the little mini piecart that is hanging about? They sure don't.

Lo Que La Vida Me Robo 137 - Alejandro Reunites With His Mother - 22 May 2014

There were several interwoven themes in tonight's show:

    •    Josefina facilitates the mother and child reunion between Alejandro and Rosario.
    •    The two have a tender meeting. Bring at least two handkerchiefs.
    •    Josefina tells Rosario that Dimitrio will never forgive her for the way she ended their marriage. She does not blame him for being angry with her. She does not mention that she would have a GREAT deal to forgive Dimitrio in order for the two of them to build a new relationship.
    •    Monica dumps Dimitrio because she does not perceive that he is ready for an adult relationship.
    •    Refugio confesses to Dimitrio that there are times that the last place he would like to be is home.
    •    Amalia visits Esmeralda and offer to throw her a baby shower. Esme tells her that the baby will be named "Angel" in honor of Angelica.
    •    Dimitrio confesses to Refu that he wants a wife, a home and a family.
    •    Nadia meets with Adolfo and he swears to protect her and his niece, Victoria.
    •    Nadia receives a antique cart full of flowers and she recognizes it as a signal that Victor is alive and will fight for she and Victoria.
    •    Susana confirms to Nadia that she spoke with Victor and that he is alive.
    •     Susana takes the flowers away in order to not trigger Pedro's suspicions about Victor.
    •    Rosario tells Alejandro that Montserrat, Jose Luis and Laurito will be away on their honeymoon for two weeks.
    •    Alejandro vows to recover his prize possessions—Montserrat and Laurito. He makes his mother swear to tell no one that he is back in Aguazul.
    •    Alejandro needs to clear his name and prove his innocence before he can make a PUBLIC return to Aguazul.
    •    Sadly, Pedro sees the cart of flowers and is tweaked. Victor is a romantic fool.
    •    Pedro calls Adolfo and demands to know the content of his conversation with Nadia.
    •    Pedro orders Adolfo to look for Victor, and, if he finds him, to kill Victor on the spot.
    •    Pedro continues to verbally abuse Nadia and demands that Victoria learn to meet him after a long hard day with a smile on her face.
    •    When Graciela gets mouthy with EZ Basurto and Carlota about the source of EZ's fortune, EZ reminds her that the food on her plate and the bed she sleeps in are there because of his money. If she thinks the money was made in an illicit manner the front door behind her is wide and it is open. She can leave anytime she wants.
    •    We do not see hide nor hair of the newlyweds or Laurito.
Please discuss and enjoy!

De Que Te Quiero Te Quiero #62 and #63 5/22/14

De que estamos dando vueltas el desagüe, el desagüe

Hola amigas/os.  The quick and dirty is the first hour was fun and laughs and the second hour sets us up for future gloom and doom.  To keep things fun, I’ve decided to enter certain of the more obnoxious characters into what I call the Audacity Olympics.  Perhaps the Uni cuts got to me but the boldness of some of our more wretched characters saying incredibly, insensitive things really got to me this evening.

Old Stuff – Chato opening the limo door and his children all coming out along with their mothers.  They hand him a pic of Carmen alone at the altar and say, Carmen’s says you are even now.   Chato screams.

De Que Te Quiero Te Quiero #60 and #61 5/21/14

De que están incluso, son aún 

Quick notes though these are episodes 60 and 61 based on titles and Uni's edits it looks like we saw episodes 61, 62, and 63.  I continue to hate Uni!!

Rod and Irma discuss his options for faking out his impending tests.  She says to induce a coma, I say YES!  Rod doesn’t look to happy.

Diego chats with the Doc and inadvertently get Irma in trouble (she should not have asked him about the tests).  Rod seems to be an anomaly b/c of the weight gain and return of color.  They go to see Rod and he says nasty things under silently (Diego – give me a sign you are alive; Rod – if I punch you will you never touch me again).  Still pulling for the coma and his not returning though I know that’s pretty much a fantasy like me seeing El getting any action any time soon.

Lo Que La Vida Me Robó, #136, 5-21-2014: No Te Queda Nada Más, Alejandro! Our Poor Galán Lives Out the Grim Promise of this TN's Theme Song

Lo refrito:  Graciela screams at Rosario to shut up already with the gratuitous advice about the way Gracie treats her children when Rosario knows nothing about Gracie's situation or past.  Gracie adds in some bitter recriminations about the fact that Rosario has alienated Graciela from her own children while simultaneously  gloating in the knowledge that Rosario had to pay the price of losing her own beloved son, Alejandro.  

Lordy, that's some impressive combo of bitterness and spitefulness!

Que pobres tan ricos Wednesday: tableclothes, diet pills, Ave Maria, and smooching to the sound of a banshee vocalist.

I enjoyed the rerun of yesterday's last Alejo-Minerva squabble: "You're no guru of sex, you 3-minute wonder, you're a fiasco in bed, MIKE is who I like!" Alejo flushes murderously and bellows: "He's not in Italy, where is he?" He starts to strangle her but she brains him with a vase. Her mom, for once, runs in too late to join in the fun. The mom wants Minerva to tell Alejo where Mike is in exchange for getting absolutely everything she wants in the divorce settlement, but no, Minerva says she never will - and forbids her mom to interfere.

It's the day before the wedding. The Menchacas are eating breakfast when Ana Sofia hustles in and wants them to commence packing. Lupita is going to take a load of stuff to the hacienda, AS says she's coming along "so you don't break my Limoges."

Que pobres tan ricos: the lower classes may be about to revolt.

I think this was the start of the episode, at any rate it's where my recording started: Ana Sofia is ecstatically looking forward to getting her luxurious life back when her son marries the Countess (should we write "Countess" now that we know she's a fraud?). "We'll be nobility." Leo does not look happy. He says it's because deceiving his Countess is below him - but it's also, no doubt, because he feels some yearning for the Prince of Bananas. (The Prince is, come to think of it, nobility as well.) AS says it's too late for regrets and, pouting, goes off to fuss over the invitations.

I've missed a week of the show (being in New Jersey where I did not have Univision). So I don't know who this old lady in black is who says she's living an inferno, she has some problem with Bambi and is having to sell everything she has left. Mike pulls out a few pesos for her.

Frida shows a very unpleasant side of her personality tonight. Some guy in a really stupid two-toned outfit, a friend from the old days, sees her and invites her to hang out. She goes to some preppy watering hole with him and talks entitled-rich-kid-talk with her fresa friends. Perla's old friends grill her: Is it true you're broke? "My brother is marrying a contessa and we'll go to Spain."

Lo que la vida me robó, ep. 135, Tues. 5/20/14: Graciela's Revenge (or: you thought YOUR mother was bad!)

I'll never forget the first time I ordered a Bloody Mary in a bar in Milwaukee; it came with a small glass of beer -- a beer chaser. 

Well, my friends, tonight's episode was a beer chaser to the campy drama of last night's disappearing bride, out of control groom, murdered cake and toy pistol-packing woman scorned.  Not exactly what we expected, maybe, but not so bad, all told.  Burp.  Perdón.

[And every Bloody Mary on The Patio comes with a beer chaser tonight!]

The Party is Over

Oddly enough, Montserrat doesn't hear all of us on The Patio screaming at her to run for her life.  Instead, she tries to appease José Luis.  She doesn't go so far as to say she loves him, but she returns his ardent kiss.  She feels bad that he didn't get the wedding of his dreams and promises she'll make it up to him on their honeymoon.  He leers unpleasantly.  He reminds her that she is his wife and that they belong to each other.

[Perhaps this time around, complementary tats?  A chain for her, a key for him?  A cage and a lock?]
