Que pobres tan ricos #81 Tue 29 Apr 2014 Of different ways men try to get attention from 'their' women

Nina fresa tv reporter (Valeria) leaves Bambi a voice mail saying farewell, thanks for everything… bye!!


Outside, MA has to deal with the police, during the pursuit the girl cop gets a good look at MA. They all are driving on reverse LOL!

At fonda, Leo and AS… she is in la-la land, he would pay 64K pennies for her thoughts. Frida comments that AS has not spoken for quite a while. Leo makes a snarty comment to Frida, and Mati rants at him about enjoying offending others. Leo defends himself, his only vice is art… AS has had enough arguments around her, can’t think with cold head. Mati adds ‘sonar no cuesta nada’ (dreams don’t cost a thing)… instead of thinking of something useful, you are delirious. Mati wonders where MA is… AS has no clue but she is glad he is away from Lupe. Mati gets irritated and leaves her.

The cops lost trace of MA. They argue among themselves. Anyone could be Bambi’s accomplice by now.

Alejo faces the board again… They say: ‘time is running and you have not fulfilled the clause of Don Aureliano. Maybe MA has been busy doing something to that effect and we don’t know it. Even if he is out of the country, he is still in the race.’ Alejo reminds them MA is a runaway from police. If he were expecting a child it would take months. You all don’t have to worry about it. Very soon you will get great news, which will convince you all that I will be the next great president of Editorial RP.

MA returns the car to Tomas. Thank you. I lost another chance to prove my innocence. Tomas is more worried that the cops recognized him. MA is confident they could not with his hat and sunglasses. Tomas still worried. Tomas says keep poking Saul about the Menchaca’s deed papers.

Bambi and his aunt get arrested. They argue with each other as they are put in different cop cars. He would rather go to jail than continue living with her. The couple cops come to question Bambi, but he just yells at them that he has no clue what they are asking, this is just a no-good guy he hired to be his driver.

Carm and Lupe, all Carm heard was that the nephew was a thug and they all got arrested. Lupe is glad that MA was not involved. Carm says MA is no thug, the one they arrested was. Lupe concerned that all the cops in the neighborhood will recognize MA and take him away. Lupe catches herself worrying about MA and says ‘whatever happens to him is not my business’. Carm says go preach that to someone who does not know you better. Lupe leaves to go pick up Emiliano.

Por Siempre Mi Amor #104 (Mex #143) 4/29/14- Seriously?

 RECAP BY CORAZONSALVAJE:

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

Lo que la vida me robó, ep. 120, Tues. 4/29/14: Get Back

...to where you once belonged?
or:
...what once belonged to you?

Graciela and José Luis aren't listening to each other(So what else is new?)

She's going to help him whether he likes it or not. And he's so arrogant he thinks that by telling her not to interfere -- by paying her not to interfere -- she'll sit on her hands. 
[Oh this is not going to end well.]

A glimpse of La Casa Rosada, Argentina's elegant pink presidential palace. 

The scene has shifted to Buenos Aires.  We are in a modern hospital room where Alejandro lies perfectly still, surrounded by monitors, an oxygen mask not quite obscuring his perfect features, his golden head crowned by a helmet of electrodes.  A nurse, clearly fond of her patient and not indifferent to his beauty, addresses him as Alejandro and cheerily undertakes his leg massages and exercises.

[Alejandro is not in a coma -- he is under a magical spell.]

De Que Te Quiero Te Quiero #36 4/29/14


De que los escritores me odian, me odian.

What started out as a tickle in my throat has quickly devolved into TB (that might be a minor exaggeration.) So anyhoo. I paid attention as best I could and took pitiful notes and the recap might have some holes in it.

Grandfather Vicente (Grumps) dips into the reading material Al left and begins to think about Rod. That can't be a life. Grumps would rather he be dead than hooked up to wires and possibly suffering. He asks Rosa what she would do.

Rodrigo's (Rod's) nurse continues to swoon and thinks she's falling in love. In his head, Rod wakes up (all white set=comaland) and hears the nurse.

Diego tells Diana she'll be submitting to a DNA test the next day...at a lab of his choosing!

Alonso (Al) has followed Irene to Caprico. He apologizes and plants a wet one on her. Irene rejects him. Eleazar (El) is dropping Natalia (Nat) off at Caprico. The 2 love-sick amigos decide to grab a drink.

Por Siempre Mi Amor #103 (Mex #142) 4/28/14 The Alliance from Hell

We have had such a great discussion going on in the comments about the men in this telenovela. There seems to be unanimous agreement that Arturo is the worst galan ever and the rest of the men (with the exception of Mauricio and perhaps Fabricio) are selfish wimps who are dumber than dryer lint. None of our female commenters would ever want to be stuck with Arturo and we don't want Isabel to be stuck with him either.
 
What has happened to the men in telenovelas? Maybe it's a reflection of what is happening to men in our society. The following paragraphs are taken from an article titled "Camille Paglia: A Feminist Defense of Masculine Virtues" published in the Wall Street Journal in Dec. 2013.

"What you're seeing is how a civilization commits suicide," says Camille Paglia. ...her indictment may be as surprising as it is wide-ranging ... But no subject gets her going more than when I ask if she really sees a connection between society's attempts to paper over the biological distinction between men and women and the collapse of Western civilization.

... Ms. Paglia argues that the softening of modern American society begins as early as kindergarten. "Primary-school education is a crock, basically. It's oppressive to anyone with physical energy, especially guys," she says, pointing to the most obvious example: the way many schools have cut recess. "They're making a toxic environment for boys. Primary education does everything in its power to turn boys into neuters."

Qué Pobres, Lunes 4/28/14 (#80): Bambi and the Bimbo

I've been out of the loop for about a week, and am behind on reading recaps and comments, so please forgive me if some of this is a rerun:

Alejo (Ahole) wants to give Emiliano his name. He reminds Lupita that he has every right to be in Emil's life. Lupita asks him to give her some time. ("I need some time" appears to be the only strategy in her repertoire for dealing with difficult situations. Not that I have a better suggestion.) She asks Ahole to give her and Emiliano some space while she comes to terms with this.

Drunker than ever, AS assures MA she'll pay back the money she stole from the Menchacas. She tells Chuy she'll pay every cent after Leo gets married. She doesn't go so far as to reveal that it was actually she and not MA who stole the money, though, and she has to endure some "supportive" comments from Chuy about parents who are disgraced by their children's behavior.

Bambi's bimbo reporter hassles the married police detectives about some "rumors," but I miss most of this scene.

MA agrees to let Tomas handle his case, though he has second thoughts when he finally accepts Tom's "card" and see's that it's handwritten. But the partnership quickly pays off in an unexpected way: MA needs to borrow a car for the chauffeuring gig with Bambi's aunt, and Tomas is able to hook him up. One of his divorce clients got a car from his wife as part of his settlement, and he owes Tomas a favor. Wow! Tomas must be really good. Someday he will be able to buy a suit that fits him.

De Que Te Quiero, Te Quiero #36- Mon 4/28

 De que el amor no tiene edad, el amor no tiene edad

Luz agrees to babysit Chato.

Diego brings Natalia a giant greeting card.  AT WORK?!  Dude…what are you thinking?  Discretion is the better part of a smooth divorce.

Rosa escorts Vicente down to his home office and gets him to hang out on the couch while she does the actual searching for info on the computer.  Vicente starts looking through the books Irene left there last night.

Alberto shows up to see Diego and hears some mushy talk via the speakerphone.  Maybe Alberto can talk some sense into him.  Alberto tells him that Diana only has another 24 hours to "prove" his infidelity.  Diego says that's no problem, since he and Natalia have decided not to have a relationship until the divorce is final.  Clearly that doesn't mean the same thing to him as it does to me.  He's grumpy about Brigitte knowing his personal bidness, but Alberto says she didn't find out from him.  Speaking of people who need some sense talked into them….

Eleazar and Paolo talk about Chato…specifically about being suspicious about him.

Chato is enjoying Luz's cooking.  He tries to pump Luz for information about Lupita so he can figure out how he can win her over.  Well, Chato, it's not difficult.  You just have to be a decent guy.

Chapter 119: Bitter Memories

Ligera Tentación: José Luis walked into the nightclub bakery just at closing time, staring at his one-time love after almost seven years of staring at stone walls. She was exactly as he remembered her, light blonde with eyes like sapphires and a figure that could stop traffic.

I'd like some coffee, please, and cake... can you tell me what's the specialty of the house?”

Monserrat looked up in surprise. She had not expected to see him. “You look different.”

Yes. It's been a long time. You are still beautiful, Monserrat.”

She was obviously uncomfortable as she asked “What do you want, José Luis?” She then looked down at the books she was looking to close out for the day.

De Que Te Quiero, Te Quiero #35- Fri 4/25

De que le salió el tiro por la culata, salió el tiro por la culata

Natalia way too politely asks Brigitte why she bad-mouthed her to Irene.  Brigitte tries to act like Irene just misinterpreted what she said, but Natalia doesn't believe that.  She points out that the only one Brigitte's making look bad is herself.  Carmen listens in as Brigitte tells Natalia she was wrong to tell her to wait for an appointment because Irene just luuuuurved her designs.  Carmen comes out from the doorway to tell the girls that Irene is doing nothing but causing problems between them and Natalia had better be as careful about Irene as she is about Diego.  She then asks Brigitte why the heck, if she's so upset with Natalia's behavior, she would go try to get a job at the same place she works.  "Because I wanted to.  Just like you, letting Chato into our house."  Carmen looks hurt as Abdul tiredly rubs his eyes.

Rodrigo's doctor believes the longer the coma lasts, the less chance Rodrigo's going to come out of it and the greater the risk that if he does, it's going to be with some serious mental deficits.  Alonso brings up the possibility of deep brain stimulation therapy, but the doc says they tried it six months ago and it had no effect.  Diego refuses to do anything that will lead to his brother's death and Irene agrees.  Alonso says he loves Rodrigo as much as either of them, but he's more inclined to agree with the doctor.  Diego storms out of the room.

Lo que la vida me robó, ep. 118, Friday, 4/25/14: Aguazuleño Alumni Updates -- Special Year Seven Edition.

We are delighted that so many aguazuleños returned the questionnaires we sent out in anticipation of our Seventh Year Class Reunion.  No one's life has stood still -- no surprise there! -- but color us IMPRESSED by all you have been up to! 

Before we give you the scoop, let's take a moment to reflect on some of the souls we lost seven years ago:

--Angélica Arechiga died in the arms of her beloved José Luis.
--The galán formerly known as Alejandro Almonte and his friends Victor Hernández and Nadia Argüelles and their unborn child -- all presumed dead after a plane crash, though their bodies were never recovered.
--The good father Anselmo who disappeared under murky circumstances and whose body has also never been found.
-- Lic. Cervera, life-long legal counsel to the Almonte family who, along with all his records and files, perished in a tragic fire just at the time that the legitimacy of Alejandro's inheritance was being challenged in court.
-- Josefina Valverde, who, while still among the living (we hope), moved away from Aguazul and never looked back.

Que pobres tan ricos #79, Apr 25 2014; The S hits the F... and MA could have taken an overdose of nobility and honesty first thing, maybe he could bottle it '5 hr nobility/honesty'

Mini insults Saul (no tienes familia ni perro que les ladre) and then asks if he remembers the date of Aureliano’s death… Saul responds even if he has no family or dog to bark at him or cat to meow at him, he won’t get in her personal issues. Quedo de Usted, atentamente, Saul Ballesteros.


MA and Frida are still trying to make AS come to her senses… Lupe knocks on window and gets MA to follow her down. Leo asks ‘in what moment our nice dolce vita turned into a horror movie?

Lupe: You knew what that money meant to us! Know how we indebted outselves to get it! You swore to me that you and your family had nothing to do!

(MA tries to get her to understand when he made that swearing statement he had no clue).

Mati asks MA to let Lupe go and wait a while… you might think it is ‘cosas de vieja’ but I know my story.

Bambi and the reporter on phone again. They are dying to see each other but she is still reluctant to meet with him. HE demands they meet. Have you heard about Giron? Nothing but I am still working on it. Alright, talk to you later.. kisses.

MA and Mati, he swears he does not want to harm Lupe. On the contrary, he loves her. Mati says the years she has lived have served her to get to know people. When someone is as angry as Lupita, give them time and space. Aureliano and I did have our arguments from time to time. We learned to get to know each other, we knew when the other was happy or angry. And when it was time to talk or time to be quiet. Our arguments were never public but we were always honest with each other. The private reconcilations were the best!!

Lupe and Carm… Lupe is trying for Nepo to answer her. Phone rings at the platanera stand… Trofeo answers. Lupe asks for Nepo. He is… he is really wasted in alcohol! Do you want to leave a message?

Por Siempre Mi Amor #102 (Mexico #141)- ¿Yo fui la que hizo este lío?/ Solo vine a hablar por teléfono

Tonight's title is inspired by Cuca and the avances. In light of his recent death, it is really creepy how much Isa's story is starting to look like the Gabriel García Márquez story (scroll down for the quick synopsis.)

I'm jumping right in to the "new." I tried to keep it brief, but oh my these últimos capítulos are chock full o' fun!

Isabel clocks Fernando (Feo) and runs...to the bedroom (Your purse! Ay Dio mio!™ TabletJefa) Feo follows, grabs her by the neck and tells her she's not leaving. Meanwhile, Gabriela (Gabi) is re-dialing, but she gets the "fuera del área de servicio" message.

Marianela (Mari) wants to know why Sonia would do such a thing as abandon her. Dan explains Sonia was a lying liar who lied to her husband. He didn't tell her because he didn't want her hurt. He's finally coming clean because Gil found out. He and Sonia are coming to Tita's to clear things up. Dan wanted to be the one to tell her first. Mari wonders if Sonia will claim her. Dan doubts it. She wasn't exactly running to be a good mom.

Que Pobres Tan Ricos #78: 4/24/14: You Dropped A Bomb On Me!

Hola Amiguis! Yes, it's me again! I will try to make this one short and tidy and I have another earworm for you. This one is for MA and Lupe: Some Things Are Better Left Unsaid.

I am skipping the old and starting with the new. Shall we begin? Dona Q and Trofeo are at the market and Trofeo is talking up Mi Mike for that chofer's job, he is a man that can be trusted, take his word for it, Dona Q still isn't quite sure.

AS and Don Chuy are still speaking at this point and he wants her to explain exactly what she meant when she said the Menchaca were "different"? Well she meant they are traditional folks, yeah that's the ticket that was what she meant! Don Chuy tells AS the hoity toity one that he told MA to stay away from his good daughter Lupe and AS says Lupe doesn't know her place! Don Chuy tells AS this works both ways she has to tell MA to stay away from his Lupe who is a good girl, while MA is in trouble with the law, and he's a deliquent! AS tries to say that MA is innocent and didn't do it, and walks away just as pithed as Don Chuy is.

Lo Que La Vida Me Robo 117 - Time Jump! We Just Gained Half a Decade and Fabiola Still has Bad Hair - 4/24/14






Amalia Has Juice With the King of Darkness



Amalia admits to Pedro that she used to doubt Alejandro’s character. He appeared out of nowhere and then he was Benjamin’s heir. Of course she doubted him, but Joaquin came to speak of Alejandro as a great man.



Pedro plants the idea in Amelia’s mind that Joaquin began to speak well of Ale after they went into business together. Amalia says she, knows nothing. She was married to a man for years that hoodwinked her. Now she reiterates her dismay at finding that Joaquin did attend Angelica’s wedding to Jose Luis, but secretly, with a plan to assassinate his son-in-law at the alter. What kind of a monster did she marry? Pedro fuels her distress by eying that Alejandro was doing Joaquin’s dirty works when, later, on the beach he shot and tried till kill JL in their ill-fated duel. Pedro opines that life is fair, in the end. Alejandro and Joaquin both got what was coming to them.



Now that Angelica is dead, Amelia’s reason for living is gone. It sounds like she needs to figure out who she is. Hopefully she will remember that she still has another kid to come into relationship with, suggests Pedro. This is the first piece of good advice I have heard him offer on the show.



He takes Amelia’s hand, and complains about his own terrible loss of Nadia and the child.

De Que Te Quiero Te Quiero #34 4/24/14

De que los malos prosperan, prosperan

Oh amigas/os, woe as me.  I get the episode where the antics of three icky characters seem to wretch havoc and not a lot of the great light moments we’ve come to enjoy.  I apologize as this is longer than I expected and please let me know if I missed anything.  Let’s go.

Natalia and Diego are explaining why they were so late when her evil sister states that Diego should run along to his wife.  Naturally things go downhill for Nat from there (while the Brat enjoys humiliating her mother’s favorite).  Nat does tell her Mom know she loves Diego but her Mom calls her a home wrecker.  Later, the Brat kisses up to Carmen and its quite sickening.  You know in the next breath she’ll demand Nat help to get a job at Caprico or bash her for something else.

Lo que la Vida me Robo #116, 4/23/14: The plane crashed. There are no survivors.

I'm just going to jump in and get this over with, recapping this one was zero fun *sad, salty tears*

I hate these three:

We start tonight's episode with Pedro 'no nuts Medina', Fabiola "boozy" Guillen and Sandro whose last name i can't be bothered to learn, sitting in the living room of Amalias home plotting away when Pedro gets a call from Ezequiel, he is informed that Alejandro Almonte managed to escape, the police got to the airport too late to stop him, Pedro wants to know who else was in the aircraft and EZ breaks the bad news to him, Nadia and Victor were also on the plane. Pedro becomes enraged, "you mean to tell me that my slut of a wife and that dog she kept as her lover managed to escape?!" "Yep" replies EZ, and I did a little dance cause not only does he have no balls, but now he has no wife, and in the words of Nelson from the Simpsons all I think of is "haha" and "it sucks to be you Medina!".

Agua Azul Hospital

We now go to the hospital where Montserrat is recovering after having surgery, she thinks that Jose Luis shot her and her brother quickly tells her that that was not the case, all Jose Luis wanted to do was protect her, sadly he got there too late. Montserrat is also worried about her husband whom no one has been able to contact, Graciela takes this opportunity to say that Alejandro ran away and left her behind (witch,witch,witch!!!), thank goodness that Dimitrio is there to set the record straight, he tells Montse that there was a warrant out for Alejandro-he was accused of killing his father and had to run away to avoid being arrested, man Montse can't win, first she gets shot and then her husband has to flee with out her AND she has Graciela as a mother. Life is so unfair. Ahem, sorry, got distracted there for a bit, back to our story, tia Carlota says her goodbyes to Montse, she wants to go back home to look after the baby and Graciela also excuses herself, she probably has to go to the town orphanage to set orphans on fire, or maybe the local animal rescue to kill kittens. Dimitrio stays behind with his sister and I'm so proud of him *sniff,sniff*.
