A-hole gets louder and argues again that MA was teamed up with Bambi and they killed Adolfo, Ahole insists the cop should be scanning every inch of La Nopalera.

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

De Que Te Quiero Te Quiero #94/94 6/13/14

De que dura sola una hora, dura sola una hora!!!

Lo Refrito
  • Gino hates the website.
  • Rod and Vicente (Grumps) have their reunion.
  • Diego ugly cries and finds out Nat married Rod thinking it was Diego.

Lo Nuevo
Diego is beside himself with grief and wants to know why Alonso didn't stop the wedding or do something. Alonso is a terrible friend. Diego gets agitated and has to be restrained and sedated.

Grumps thinks what Rod did to his brother was terrible. What was he thinking trying to kill him? Rod gives Grumps his BS side of the story. It's Diego's fault he was in the coma! Diego had set his sights on a pueblerina and Rod decided to have a little fun and switch places with Diego. At the party she dragged him away and the next thing he knew a guy showed up and beat him. He woke up two years later to find out Diego had set him up and was engaged to the girl that saw him getting beat up and did nothing! Diego sent the dude to beat me up and the Pueblerina was none other than Natalia Garcia!

Al tries to convince the nurse that Diego is not a violent guy. It was just a crisis. When he wakes up he'll be better able to understand what's going on...at least Alonso hopes so.

Grumps really can't believe Diego is capable of doing such a thing. He really suffered while Rod was in the coma. He fought the hardest against against pulling the plug. Rod doesn't believe it. He's convinced Diego sent the guy to beat him up and he hates Diego. Rod wants BOTH Diego and Nat to suffer.

Lo Que La Vida Me Robo 152 - 13 May, 2014 - As The Plot Thins, Maria’s Indecent Proposals Are Given Due Consideration


Honest. If there was any scoop to give you tonight about Aguazul I would. Withholding information would only irritate you, fair reader, and, by being chintzy with the facts I could easily work my way out of a job. Not that recapping pays much, but there it is. We’ve all got to have a reason to get up in the morning.

The town of Aguazul, Campeche State, MX, was as quiet as Bethlehem before the ‘Silent Night’.  And, the plot of Robo is moving as slow as honey dripping down the side of a comb.

So, in the interest of interest, yours, that is, let’s take a look at the slow goings on in Bluewater, character by character, instead of following the action geographically.  Let’s go alphabetically, just to keep things straight. You can always skip the characters you don’t want to know about.

Adolfo
Tonight Adolfo quietly makes his way about town. He meets up with Maria and decides to give her a house. You know, for all the good times. Like when he put a gun to her head and pulled the trigger but it was loaded with blanks. Fun times, huh? He meets up with Maria at her new house and is unable to resist her indecent proposal. “Let’s just do one for the road”. So they rock and roll in the empty new house and he hands her a wad of cash after; she needs some money to furnish the place. After all, how can she entertain Alejandro in style on a bare stone floor?

Later, Adolfo meets up with his brother-in-law the Governor, Pedro Medina. Now that guy, Pedro, is a real whack job. After watching the last couple of shows I think he has begun to believe his own publicity. And when he starts to drink his own Kool-Aid, all hell is going to break loose. You heard it here first. I, for one, will be happy to be here Stateside, watching the action on a very long Televisa/Univision lens. Televisa ought to pay those camera guys double the union scale to work on THAT job.

Adolfo stays cool while that ‘dumb’ EZ Basurto provokes the hell out of Pedro. Dumb, you say? Yea, he’s as dumb as a fox. Basurto. Basurto tells Little Pepe that it is time Pedro took care of some business up north, personally, as in ‘on the ground’. Pedro, who has always kept his mani/pedi clear of the muck, was one flustered customer. Adolfo backed EZ up in his little tease of Pedro; of course, he has his own reasons for wanting Pedro away and over the Campeche State frontier.

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

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

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

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

De Que Te Quiero, Te Quiero #92/93- Wed 6/12

De que el abuelo tiene su favorito, tiene su favorito.

Alonso hopes he's convinced Vicente, but Vicente just wants to see his grandson…whichever one it is.  And he won't accept any conditions.  He gets dizzy and has to sit down.  Forgetting that he fired Lala, he tells her to bring his pills while Alonso goes to get his bag from the car.

When PJ is ready to leave Casa Garcia, Nat talks to him out in the hall to tell him that Irene doesn't know about her and Andres' involvement in Rodrigo's coma.  He tells her not to worry--they have strong bonds that can't be broken.

Grumps' blood pressure is back down again and he insists on going to get his grandson.  He forgot that he fired Lala and tells her to get her damn uniform back on and stay out of other people's business!   Pobre Lala!  She must have whiplash after today!

The PI talks to Irene and Tad, but the one and only girl orphan during that time period was Asian.  Irene comes to the (correct) conclusion that Vicente lied to them.

Carmen and El wonder what ace PJ has up his sleeve.  Then Carmen gets all warm and fuzzy about her feelings for El…and he returns the warm and fuzzies.  But he stops after asking if she really wants to marry the Fettuccini…"Never mind.  The decision is made."  Carmen looks sad.  I look annoyed.

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

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

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

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

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

Hi Robó Fans,

Eli's internet and cable went out on her completely last night, so she asked me to post this discussion page until the problem can be fixed.

In the meantime, please feel free to discuss the episode!

De Que Te Quiero, Te Quiero #90/91- Wed 6/11

De que Diego no es Diego, no es Diego!

RoDiego admits to Brigitte that he's obsessed with Nat…and also, bring me a sammich and a beer.

Nat doesn't know who the hell she married, but she's convinced it's not Diego.  Tad says some guys are just rough around the edges, but Nat and Irene say Diego's not one of them.  Tad tells her she can stay as long as she wants and Irene calls Alonso and asks him to come over.

Carmen doesn't believe Lupita's story about polar bears for a second.  Gino decides to try to talk to her.

Tad lets Alonso in, but he's not happy about it.

Lupita told Gino the same story about the polar bears and he bought it.  He asks Carmen not to ground her.  Carmen refuses to lift her punishment, but eventually Gino butters her up enough that she cuts the grounding back to a week.  Gino advises Lupita to take the deal.  He thinks he's winning her over, but Lupita's too smart for that.

Nat tells Alonso that "Diego" tried to rape her, just like Rodrigo did--and, no, that's not the fear talking.  Alonso agrees that the man she married isn't Diego, but he's working on finding out who he is.  For now, he advises her to stay away from "Diego," but if he shows up, play it cool and don't let on that they're investigating.  I mentally kick Alonso for equating "bipolar" with "double personality" as the first is inaccurate and the second doesn't exist.  He leaves Nat with some pills.

Lo que la vida me robó, ep. 150, Tues., 6/10/14: On the House!

Run, Alejandro, Run!
In her dressing room at La Escondida, María makes Alejandro an offer he can't refuse -- she will return Benjamín's original will to him in exchange for a single night of pleasure in her arms.  What does he have to lose?  Everything, he tells her.  It would put his happiness with Montserrat at risk. He won't do it.  

María can't believe her ears.  She lashes out at Montserrat, calling her a zorra and saying she's probably in José Luis's bed right now.  Alejandro reminds María that she's the one who has slept with every man in Aguazul.  Except with him, she says with an insinuating smile.  

"There are things more important to me than money," he says.  "You never really knew me."  He leaves her alone with her dime store blonde wig, her tawdry outfit, and her delusions of grandeur.  

[A man sits alone at a table on the otherwise crowded Patio of Lowered Expectations and takes a thoughtful pull on his bourbon.  ¡Ánimo, María! he whispers under his breath.]

De que casi lo tienen, casi lo tienen

Really short and sweet tonight. Please, please, please fill in the blanks. Thanks!

Oh my. The little cerebral hamsters were just running, running, running and getting nowhere tonight.

Rod pays a visit to Brat's apt. She would swear she was dealing with the evil twin and not Diego. (She's sooooo close.)

Rod's evil behavior escalates. He was absolutely emotionally abusive. He let Nat know he spent their wedding night with another woman and she might as well get used to it.

That sent her running to upstairs where the patient known as Rodrigo was. She tells him that he and Diego should have told her of his existence. None of this would have happened if she'd known. The patient opens his eyes and looks directly at her. She is freaked to say they least.

When Irene later visits Nat, they discuss the Great Misunderstanding and Diego's reasons for not telling Nat. Nat still feels as if it's Diego that's in that bed. (She's sooooo close.) Concerned for Nat, Irene suggests that she talk to Aloser (and yes, Tad also ends up showing some bad behavior and acting like an azz about that little visit.)

Now, before we get to Nat's session with Aloser I need to tell you that Krazy is still molesting him and he's STILL ANSWERING HER CALLS AND MAKING COFFEE DATES WITH HER. Pretty stupid behavior, right? At least when it comes to doctor stuff he's not too stupid. He thinks it's a little odd that the results of the blood tests don't show anything. Na.da. If Irma is administering drugs, something should show up. He asks for another sample. Unfortunately, he asks Irma. The blood she hands over is hers and again results show nothing...but this is doctor stuff, not relationship stuff. Aloser is finally on to Irma and the great blood switcheroo. (He's soooo close.)

De Que Te Quiero, Te Quiero #86/87- Mon 6/9

De que se casaron, se casaron

Tad's maid gets a stern talking-to for letting Vicente in without finding out who he was.  Vicente's there to interrogate Tad about why he married Irene.  Vicente doesn't take Tad's status as "famous painter" very seriously and thinks he married Irene for her name.  He throws the scholarship in his face, but Tad defends himself, saying he would have made a name for himself--with or without the scholarship.  He calls Vicente on his crappy treatment of Irene, especially when she was pregnant.  Vicente sticks to his story, that he's done the right thing for his family.  Tad says one day Vicente will be asking for forgiveness.

Mrs. Tiburcio apologizes to Irene for Tiburcio's panic attack.  She explains about working with him to communicate using the alphabet poster.

Tad calls the PI and gives him a stern talking-to for not telling Tad that he talked to Vicente.  The PI makes some placating noises…and some I-need-money noises.  Creep.

Luchón, Gino's old butler…'cause we all know he lied about that...calls a woman from a pay phone.  She speaks Italian, so I hope he brought a lot of quarters.  Blah, blah, blah, Italian chattering, "vendetta."  I think we all know what that means.

Chapter 149: The Fuses are Lit


Valverde House: Monserrat arrived and told Alejandro there was someone she wanted him to meet. She stepped aside and Rosario entered with little Lauro. The boy's first words were “How tall you are, Papa!” Alejandro and his mother, Rosario, began to cry. The boy said “I have many pictures of you but you're different. I like your eyes, but your teeth are gigantic!” Alejandro laughed at the uncensored honesty of his son, who then told him he had a beautiful smile. He hugged him as though he would never have the chance to do so again.

TELEMUNDO Y MÁS: THE FRONT PAGE -- El Señor de los Cielos II, En Otra Piel, et cetera, week of June 9, 2014

Is anyone else watching Metástasis?  The first episode of the Colombian version of the remarkable American drama, Breaking Bad,  aired last night on Univisión, Gala, and Unimás.  Tonight, it will be shown only on Unimás at 8pm Central (9pm Eastern) as well as 9pm/10pm.  I'm not sure if they will repeat the first episode in the earlier slot and then show episode 2 in the later time.

On Tuesday, it will settle into a regular 9C/10E slot.

I was very impressed with the quality of the first episode.  I'm not planning on recapping the show, but I might comment on it from time to time, and I hope some other people do too.

Enjoy your week!

Lo que la vida me robó, ep. 148, Fri., 6/6/14: Alejandro Domínguez -- Wanted Dead or Alive!


Almonte Mansion on the Beach

Sandro insists he said nothing to María about the fake will.  Fabiola -- never relinquishing her glass of red wine  -- warns him he'd better figure out how to shut that woman up.

Mónica and Dimitrio's new place

Did someone ask for a definition of chutzpah?

Gracie pays a friendly visit to Mónica, insults her six ways to Sunday, and ends up wangling a dinner invitation out of her.

Graciela, with a dazzling display of dentition -- upper and lower -- insults Monica's TASTE (and just about everything else about her).  When she finally goads the young woman into standing up to her, Graciela somehow squeezes out a couple of tears and launches into a self-pitying bleat: She may have made some bad decisions, but she never intended to hurt her children.  It breaks her heart that her actions may have been misunderstood.

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

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


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

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

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

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

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

De Que Te Quiero Te Quiero 6/6/14 #84 and #85 (Or something like that): The Extrapolation Edition

De que hay tsuris, hay tsuris.

Why do I get the heartbreaking episodes?

This is going to be short. I was having attention issues. There was much extrapolation on my part. Feel free to add more details (corrections really in the comments.

Tonight's Cast:
Al=Alonso
Brat=Brigitte
El=Eleazar
Grumps=Vicente
Jean Marie=The fashion show organizer that works with Irene to plan shoots and shows for Eskenda
Mr. T=Tiburcio
Mrs. T=Mrs. Tiburcio
Nat=Natalia
PJ=Papá Juancho
Rod=Rodrigo
Tad=Tadeo

The lady at the orphanage tells Irene that of the 6 children that came to the facility that year, only one was a girl. True to TN form there was a fire 17 years ago and records are no more. Irene flips. Tad calms her down so the director can tell her to come back with a court order.

Mr. T is in bad shape. He can't talk or move. Even after a lot of therapy, he will only recover a minimum of his previous abilities.

Brat comes in late for work and takes offense when Nat reminds her about professionalism.

Grumps is thoughtbubbling in his office--Nat is NOT a Cáceres. Nat comes in with some papers and asks about Irene. Grumps plays dumb about Irene's whereabouts and the reason for the trip.

Mrs. T is with Mr. T in the hospital. She tells him how bad she feels about what a shrew she was him. He moves his hand.

Weekend Discussion: Crimes of Fashion

One of the things inciting constant comment here is the fashion felonies committed by many female characters in novelas (or by the fashion consultants for the shows).  It seems that femme fatale rivals and villanas are the biggest offenders, although heroines can be guilty, too.  For our purposes today we will cover the villanas, particularly since we have such a stunning example in our current prime time.
