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.

Lo Que la Vida Me Robó #149 Lunes 6/9/14: The Fuses are Lit


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.

Lo Que La Vida Me Robo 147 - So Many Lies, So Little Time

Basurto/Mendoza Mansion, Aguazul, Campeche, MX

Sandro and EZ have an after-dinner table conversation about Carlota and Graciela after the ladies have left the room to powder their noses. Carlota wants to know about Fabiola. So sad, Fabiola has all the money in the world and she is still alone. Carlota taunts Graciela by asking her if she can see herself in the same place? She has lost her children’s love. Graciela says that things are about to change.

Back in the dining room, EZ Basurto tells Sandro that he regrets that his feelings for his sister-in-law do not parallel those spoken by Sandro about Carlota—Sandro finds Carlota enchanting. Sandro points out Graciela’s beauty, and… as he puffs away on what is surely a Cuban cigar. EZ asks Sandro to take her away!

De Que Te Quiero Te Quiero: 6/5/2014, #82 & 83 US (or something like that)

De Que Su Hija Está Viva, Está Viva!

I’ve got an early and long day tomorrow, so I’m doing a bullet points quick and dirty, just the facts recap. Feel free to fill in anything I might have missed.

- Brigitte the Brat, while packing her stuff to leave sad Alberto’s apartment, says some things I agree with for the first time. She calls herself capricious, bossy, hotheaded/mean, and immature (caprichosa, mandona, explosiva, y inmadura). Yep, that describes a few of her defects. These are her excuses for why she wants to live on her own, and not marry him now (yet keep the man’s ring). Al takes her to her “friend’s” apartment and is impressed by the size and luxury of the apartment.

- Rod and Irma have a not so friendly chat over unconscious Diego. Rod says to Diego: “If I leave you alive, I won’t be able to explain, and no one will forgive me.” He’s decided to kill Diego and steal his life and inheritance. Despite the fact that he’s basically already said this a few times, Irma is shocked, shocked!  She says she’s not going be an accomplice to murder. Rod gets in her face and threatens her, and tells her she has no choice. After he leaves the room, she says she laments what she’s doing, mentions Rod trying to steal Diego’s life and Natalia, is sympathetic when Diego reacts to Nat’s name and cries, but shoots him up with more drugs anyway. Bitch! Grumps arrives and sees the tears, Irma makes up a sick aunt in Miami, and Grumps offers to let her go see her aunt as soon as tomorrow. He’ll hire a temporary nurse. Irma is overjoyed that she’ll get to escape and the whole thing will explode on Rod.

- El’s payment to Gino for losing the soccer game is to serve as waiter and ring bearer at a fancy Italian restaurant, while Gino proposes to Carmen. El first tries to sabotage the evening by putting mega hot peppers in Gino’s pasta. Unfortunately, Carmen switches dishes with him, and nearly chokes to death on the hot peppers. Lupita calls him in tears, since she heard about the proposal, but El has given up. He's about to serve the tiramisu with the ring, when a hazmat team busts in, saying there’s a toxic gas leak.  Gino is hustled off to the hospital. El kisses Carmen in front of the restaurant owner, who knows Gino. Carmen rejects him, since she thinks he’s behind the fake gas leak plot. However, he really knows nothing since Morales did it all on his own. Carmen sees Morales and is further convinced it was El behind it all. Carmen, Paolo, and Abdul get to the hospital just in time to save Gino from a mistaken enema, performed by student nurses, and hemorrhoid surgery!

Lo Que La Vida Me Robó, #146, 6-4-2014: José-Luis suspects the rumors of Alejandro's comatose state have been greatly exaggerated

Lo refrito:  Montserrat counters Gracie's disapproval of Montse's infidelity with Alejandro by proclaiming that, unlike Gracie herself, she (Montserrat) isn't trying to hide her love.  Montse claims that Gracie, even if she were to acquire millions, is the poorest woman that Montserrat knows.

Unanticipated Noble Gestures May Have Surprisingly Negative Consequences
House of Montse and José-Luis:  Rosario continues ripping J-L for marrying Montse without telling her that Alejandro was still alive.  Rosario claims that Alejandro needed Montse more than ever, and she's also mad that J-L didn't even tell her (Rosario) either!  J-L looks guilty and seems to feel bad about what he's done.  He assures Rosario he's taking charge of things and also going to do the right thing to make amends:  he's in the process of trying to bring comatose Alejandro back to Mexico so he can live out his life-supported days among the women who love him best.

Que Pobres Tan Ricos: Danger-Mike must flee!

Hi guys, sorry for the short recap, I'm about to go fly in a plane!

The main theme of Wednesday's episode is Mike going into hiding from his own hiding place (la Nopalera, I think is its fancy name).

Tearful goodbye w/ Lupita, they love each other, blah blah, no one can ever separate them but they have to separate until things blow over a little bit.

Detective Alejo gets a little closer to catching Mike - Isela tells him he's been hiding at La Nopalera. He will now set out to go catch him and turn him in!

Now Mike's whole family comes to give him a huge goodbye, even Ana Sofia, who is very lovey despite her tearful moping she's  been doing! She loves Mike with all her heart!

Anyway, please comment and tell us your favorite parts of the episode.

Thanks!

Lo Que La Vida Me Robo, capitulo 145. 06/03/14. Ale makes a deal with the she-devil; JL's life starts to unravel.

Jumping right into the new...

Macario, Dominga and Rosario sit down for a chit chat. Macario tells Dominga that Rosario delivered a well deserved slap to Graceless which Dominga practically applauds. It was about time someone put Graceless in her place. Rosario is worried about what Graceless could do to her baby boy, but Macario says they are their to defend him. Dominga is more concerned about what JL will do when he finds out Ale is still alive. Macario says JL needs to start packing and move out. Rosario wishes it was that easy but has a feeling that this time around JL will not give Montse up so easily. He asks when are they going to tell Laurito that his father is alive? Hopefully soon replies Rosario.

Montse will not allow both JL and Ale to fight. Ale wonders if they should just flee. Montse tells him to just say the words and this very night she will pack up everything and Laurito to join him. She never wants to leave his side again. Ale can't believe that she will leave everything behind for him. He thinks that perhaps it's not such a good idea. Sooner or later, the past will catch up to them. Just like Victor and Nadia. We have to stay and I need to clear my name. I made the mistake 7 years ago to flee and now I am paying the price. Montse decides he's right and she will help him in any way she can. Ale wants to prove his innocence. Montse wants to know when to let the cat out of the bag and tell JL the truth. He wants to wait until everything has been cleared up and promises to talk to JL directly. I don't care what happened between you two before you found out I was alive. I can understand that. But I don't want JL to touch you again. Montse confesses that when she married JL, she told him that she would always love Ale and could never forget him. And now seeing you again, being in your arms, just confirms that my body and soul only belong to you. They kiss. Victor walks by and starts thinking of his lady love.

Que Pobres Tan Ricos: San Ciprianito loses his groove; Ana Sofia does NOT have a drinking problem; Mike gets famous

  • "I'm going to kill you, tarantula!" Alejo growls as he chokes Minerva. She and her mom are playing a dangerous game. The mother wants to trade Mike's location in exchange for the entire house, which she has always liked. She disabuses Alejo: "He's not bonking Minerva, he has somebody else."

    Minerva still thinks she can win Mike back and tells her mom she won't betray him. "But daughter, we have to think of ourselves."

    Vilma thinks the "piranhas" are pulling a fiddle. Alejo snarls, "It's your fault, you let your laptop get stolen." He's willing to cede the house, eventually, because he does not actually own it, it belongs to the corporation. Vilma thinks he's as smart as Napoleon.

De Que Te Quiero Te Quiero #78/79 6/3/2014 The Bleeeecccchhh Edition

De que tengo náuseas, tengo náuseas.

I respect you all enough to carry through with this recap, but I have a big desire to just invoke the Recapper's Privilege Card for the whole darn thing.

Let us begin the descent into hell.

Rodrigo apologizes to Carmen for the porno scene she walked in to last night. Carmen tells Not Diego to cool his jets. He and Natalia will be married soon enough. Respect her house.

Brigitte goes off on Irene. She had enough of her mom's reproaches without Irene jumping on her too. She leaves in a huff.

Alonso comes to get "Rodrigo's" record. Doc gets him up to speed. A while ago the patient seemed to improve, but tests showed his neurological activity was the same.

Diego's bed isn't working. Irma shakes her booty for Grumps. Bleeeccchhh.

Brigitte is packed and leaving the house. She tells her about the scene with the wedding dress (ooops, the secret is out.)Natalia tries to convince Brat to stay and Brat tells her to cut the goody goody crap. Brat is in rare form and tells Nat that if she hadn't come on the scene, Brat's life wouldn't be the utter crap that it is. Brat then has the nerve to say that she gets a little comfort knowing that Nat's real mother didn't even want her and just dumped her at the church. Carmen and Lupita arrive home. When Lupita finds out Brat is leaving she begins to cry and beg her not to go. Natalia offers to leave instead. Carmen tells Brat to go if she is so intent on leaving. Lupita is inconsolable. Gee whiz this kid is amazing!!

De Que Te Quiero, Te Quiero #76/77- Mon 6/2

De que estoy harta de casi todos, estoy harta de casi todos!

Not only does the ghastly image of Karina interrupt Alonso and Irene's  potential nookie, but the actual Karina calls while Irene is getting packed to invite Al to the movies.  And he, like an idiot, says he "can't" and they'll talk later instead of "No!  And I never want to see you again!"

Mara's mom arrives to pick her up at Padre Juancho's.  Despite PJ's effusive praise, she insists on nagging Mara about not eradicating PJ's place of dust and cooking PJ's  meals.  When they leave, PJ summons Paolo from a back room so they can marvel at how hardcore Mara's mom is.  (She really does remind me of Carrie's mom, but that would make Mara Carrie and I really hope we're not going down that road!)

After the re-opening of the fonda, Abdul walks Angela home and Gino and Eleazar fight over who's going to take Carmen and Lupita home.  Lupita finally shouts that her name is not "piccolina" (little girl?) it's Lupita!  Ms. Garcia if you're one of her sibling's baby daddies.  She ends up going home with Eleazar, leaving Gino to take Carmen home.  Carmen talks a little about having a relationship with El, but not being able to really get things off the ground (well, except for what we KNOW she's gotten off the ground).  Gino thought bubbles that it's gonna suck if El ends up with "his" Carmelona.

RoDiego brings Diego back to the house, with Irma to watch over him.  Vicente isn't thrilled at first, but RoDiego talks him into it and addresses all Vicente's concerns.  Diego will stay in Diego's room, because it's near the guest room where Irma will be staying and RoDiego will stay in Rodrigo's room.

Qué Pobres, LUNES 6/2/14 (#105): Ana Sofia’s Purple Haze

MA confronts Alejo (Ahole) in the office parking garage, asking Alejo how many more crimes he's going to accuse him of/frame him for, stealing all of his family's money. Ahole plays dumb, urges MA to turn himself in, and asks, "Are you going to kill me like you killed Adolfo?"

MA doesn't want Ahole to harm any of the people he cares about. Ahole pounces on this, accusing MA of fooling around with Minerva, which confuses MA because he doesn't know that Ahole thinks MA is Mini's secret lover. MA says Ahole resents him because Grandfather always liked MA best. Grandpa sent MA away because he didn't want him to become a vulture like Ahole.

MA catches Ahole trying to work his cellphone behind his back and tries to take it away from him. They come to blows. The fight sets off a car alarm, and MA flees.

Ahole returns to the office and uses his bruises to persuade the new police detective to hurry up with the homicide case against MA. MA threatened his life, Ahole claims. The detective is confused; he thought the RP company wanted them to handle this discreetly? Ahole says it's too risky. MA is too dangerous! Please catch him now! The detective tells him to calm down. They still haven't completed the ballistics analysis and they won't charge MA until they're sure.

She told José Luis that it was nothing, but he slid along the floor to the couch, saying she might be pregnant. She scoffed at this, but he was determined to believe it. She collected herself to help him back to the bed. Once he was seated there she excused herself and headed for the bathroom. He watched her with a hint of suspicion.
