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.

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.

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.

Here's your weekly page, Impostora fans. Enjoy!
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.

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.

Mr. T=Tiburcio
Mrs. T=Mrs. Tiburcio

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.

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!

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.

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.

Chapter
144: Can't Face the Competition
Monserrat's
House, Master Bedroom: Monserrat sat on the couch because she
had a fainting spell. 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.

TELEMUNDO Y MÁS: La Impostora, week of June 2, 2014
Sometimes it's fun to look back and see what we were watching (and
recapping) a year ago. In June, 2013, there was only one Telemundo y Más
post a week and we were watching El Señor de los Cielos I! In addition,
Pasión Prohibida and La Patrona were on. At the end of the month, we
made the transition to Monday postings to better accommodate Friday recaps and comments. So thanks for looking back with me and now on to the weekly coomments for La Impostora, which I see is in its "Capitulos Culminantes."
TELEMUNDO Y MÁS: THE FRONT PAGE -- El Señor de los Cielos II, En Otra Piel, et cetera, week of June 2, 2014

Lo Que La Vida Me Robo #143: 5/30/14: Ritorna A Me
Ahoy, Amiguis! Mr. Mads and I took a mini vacay this past week. I am all rested up, have read all the recaps. I want to thank Urban, Gloria, Eli and NovelaMaven for all their fantastic recaps this past week. I am so happy to be back, communing with all of you again. Now on to the recap. I know Y'all are just salivating to find out what happened with this episode and the humdinger of an ending. Shall we begin with an earworm? This song is especially dedicated to Monse and JL, Starting All Over Again.
Ale is pacing the hotel room waiting for Monse.
Pobrecito JL, falls down the stairs and injures his foot. Dimi and Refug help him up the stairs.
The flowers and champagne arrive for this night of lurvvveee Ale has planned, and I echo Carlos, where is the rose petals and come on, no chocolate covered strawberries, for shame, Ale, for shame.

De Que Te Quiero Te Quiero #74 and 75 US 5/30/14
De que me enojo, me enojo.
Can it get any more frustrating???? The devil writers are indeed on your side you big Rod.
Eleazar (El) and Padre Juancho (PJ) explain to Natalia why they think Paolo is gay and is possibly in an inappropriate relationship (meaning age-wise) with someone. Paolo interrupts and is upset. He denies he's gay and seems more mad that El and PJ were spying and sneaking instead of being REAL MEN and being honest and talk to him face to face.
Meanwhile, the neighborhood chismosas feel the need to spread the "news" about Paolo to Carmen. She takes umbrage at their remarks. She takes a few chunks of hair from their scalps as well. Crabette #1 sees the fight and tells La Jaiba. La Jaiba calls the cops.
After Paolo leaves, Lupita asks the adults what is going on. They tell her it's "grown-up stuff." She innocently asks if it has to do with Marita, Paolo's girlfriend. Sheepish expressions were had by all.
The police take the chismosas and Carmen to the hoosegow.
Alberto tries to get in touch with Brigitte (Brat), but she and Rod are gettin' it on. When she deigns to answer she lies through her lemon-sucking teeth and tells him she was bathing. She sourly turns down his invitation to go out. She and Rod discuss how easily they lie to others and exchange sloppy kisses. She thinks they are made for each other.
Paolo walks the street and thoughtbubbles. He is mad and PJ and El. He sort of gets PJ's reasons, but he can't forgive El. How could he?
Irene goes to Alonso's to collect her things and Al begs for an explanation. They fight. Again. (This is getting old to me, but I assume it's because it was only Tuesday when they last fought and made up. Maybe if Uni wasn't scissor happy this relationship wouldn't seem so schizophrenic.)

Que Pobres tan Ricos #104 May 30, 2014. Reluctant appologies, reluctant promises, forced celebration speeches and one overdue reunion.
Once Tizoc and Perla hear about the million dollar clause, they barge in the room, Tizoc/Perla vs Frida/Leo. Leo and Frida claim that Tizoc and Perla have invaded ‘their’ property… Tizoc and Perla respond with insults of their own. MA is stuck in between the doubles debate match.
Trofeo promises the guy everything is alright. Guy leaves. Nepo compares himself with one banana, MA is another, and Nepo now is assuming the gringo the other guy was talking about is none other than MA.
Chuy and Mati come up to the debate… Leo and Tizoc get more offensive. Frida intervenes and Perla sees her open door to throw some more insults. MA tries to settle things, even says he is angry he is sibling of Frida/Leo. Chuy says similar of his ‘children’. MA tries to get AS to say something… ‘Salud!!!’
At office, Mini and Isela… Mini doubts if Alejo knows Lupe is with MA. Isela suggests find out what Alejo knows and then use it in OUR favor. Mini says there are priorities…
AS sleeping now, MA calls Leo and Frida over. In front of Mati, he tells them that he can’t believe how they behaved with Tizoc and Perla Ivette. Mati repeats, she hopes she will never remember where the papers are. MA tells her she was right when she said those documents bring out the worst in everyone. Mati says right, that money brought about the worst. Maybe that was a way from Abuelo to put them to the test. If he were alive, he would be ashamed of the situation of his family, he would die all over again rather than watch them fight for money. MA says he loves how she talks about the abuelo… Mati says it is a family tradition to honor his memory, even the board members at the company do it. Mati asks Frida and Leo to go find the Menchacas and not to return until they have apologized to them. MA and Mati end up alone. She tells MA he is her support… she now remembers how she would have wanted him to be there at Aureliano’s funeral. MA feels guilty he was not there. Mati says don’t feel bad, the past is over. She remembers a discussion with Aureliano when he had kicked MA out. Aureliano swearing he did it for MA’s good. She protested that MA went alone and pennyless, how can that be good for him? Aureliano says he will mature not depending on our money, one day he will returned a gentleman. He has to work and grow to feel proud of himself. As a father he was not what his children could be, but MA will be the best of RPs, no matter what it costs…the end will justify the means. Mati comes back to present, tells MA that Aureliano, with his rights and wrong decisions, always wanted the best for MA. She can assure him.

Que Pobres Tan Ricos #103: 5/29/14: If I Had a Million Dollars!
Hola Amiguis! Mr. Mads and I took a mini vacay, I have caught up with all the recaps and am now raring to go! Shall we begin with an earworm? It's especially for AS: Keep On Smilin'
Mati is calming knitting as Leo is talking about the ship sinking and the pirates are boarding. Sucks to be Leo.
MA goes upstairs and checks on AS, who of course, is passed out from all that hooch she's been guzzling. AS finally wakes up and cries about the wedding being her salvation and last hope. Her birthday is coming up and she's poor, porca miseria! She's lost her society friends, I'd think she'd think of them as frenemies, she vants to be alone. The family leaves her thus.

Lo que la vida me robó, ep. 142, Thursday, 5/29/14: Montserrat, You Is My Woman Now!
At the cemetery wall of the churchyard
We rejoice at the sight of the two impossibly beautiful people together again; for them and for us, seven years seem to disappear in the blink of an eye.
Te amo Alejandro, te amo más que a mi propia vida, whispers Montserrat. (I love you more than life itself.)
The lovers exchange a slow, sweet kiss, restrained and full of longing.
Mi amor, me has hecho tanta falta, she tells him as her lips graze his hand. (My love, I've missed you so much.)
She feels as if she has been asleep all this time too and he has just opened her eyes.
"Of course I'm yours, I've always been yours."
"Then come with me," he says softly, leading her by the hand.
"Of course I'm yours, I've always been yours."
"Then come with me," he says softly, leading her by the hand.
JL and Rosario at the café

De Que Te Quiero, Te Quiero, 5/29/14, #72 & 73 US (or something like that)
De que tiene agallas, tiene agallas
Naughty Nurse Irma tells Rod that Diego is dying. He tells her to keep him alive another 2 weeks so that Diego can see how he’s stolen his life. The stupid nurse seems to be finally realizing that Rod isn’t a good person. She threatens to skip town. He buys her cooperation with the promise of lots of money. He makes it clear that she was nothing but a quick and easy lay.

The stupid nurse seems to be finally realizing that Rod isn’t a good person. She threatens to skip town. He buys her cooperation with the promise of lots of money. He makes it clear that she was nothing but a quick and easy lay.
The Brat tries to listen in, but apparently Caprico’s doors
aren’t made of cardboard and she hears nothing. When Irma leaves, she tries to
play the jealous girlfriend card to find out who that woman was. Rod reminds
her of her place as his mistress. Her only job is to find a place where they
can do the dirty on the down-low.
Morales reports back to El on Paolo’s "close" relationship with
his new boss.
There has obviously been something important cut because
Carmen is crying in her bedroom, and Nat comes in to reassure her that she is
of course more important to her than Diego’s family. She thanks God each day
for putting her in Carmen’s path. She loves her and respects her, even though
they don’t carry the same blood. Carmen says there is no difference between Nat
and her other siblings. Carm dismisses her tears as just being emotional about
her first baby girl getting married. She assures Nat that she just wants her to
be happy. Nat is sure she will be happy with Diego. She doesn’t think Grumps
will be a problem once they are married, living apart from him, and he has time
to see she is not a gold-digger.
Paolo’s papa Gino invites him out for dinner. Paolo says he
can’t since he has to attend his sister’s engagement dinner. Gino insists that
he will get Paolo a tie or even a suit for the occasion, since Italians must be
fashionable.
Rod is primping in front of the mirror for the dinner, when
Lala informs him that Irene and “el Joven Alonso” are downstairs. Step number one
for Al, if he wants to be seen as a real man by Irene’s side: get people in
their circle to stop calling him “joven.” Rodiego goes downstairs and apologizes
for beating the crap out of Al, just in time for Grumps to enter and ask what
they’re talking about. He tells Rodiego that problems aren’t resolved through
fighting/blows. (Just through lying, cheating, and generally being a jerk.)

Alejandro Almonte Returns Lo Que La Vida Me Robo Episode 141 05/28/2014
Hi patio peeps! I'm going to just cover our major story lines because I have to be up in a few hours for my sisters graduation, with some luck I'll get three hours of sleep, I hope you enjoy the recap and feel free to fill in anything that I may have missed/skipped.
Alejandro Returns:
Last night Alejandro was outside of Montse's house, the plan was for him to reveal that he had survived the plane crash, little Laurito however put an end to those plans when he saw Alejandro outside of his house, Alejandro did not want his child to find out that he was still alive until he had been prepared by his mother for the news so he ran away and together with his mother came up with plan B which was to lure Montse away from the house and take her to a safe location where Alejandro could show himself without fear of Jose Luis showing up.
Rosario lies to Montse and tells her they have a social engagement to attend, she tells Montse to dress up because it is a formal affair, when Montse suggests calling her husband so that he can meet up with them Rosario discourages her and tells her that the gathering is for women only, they leave the house and later arrive outside the church. Rosario tells Montse that her aunt Carlota would be meeting them there, she then asks her daughter-in law to go in and see if her aunt is already there, she will remain outside just in case Carlota is not inside the church.
Montse goes into the church and a minute later hears for the first time in seven years the voice of the husband she thought had died. Her face registers relief, confusion and happiness, but also anger. After a quick reunion the questions come fast, Montse wants to know why he abandoned her and their child. Where was he for the last seven years? What was he doing? How could he have left without them? Alejandro sits in silence while his wife continues to accuse him of abandonment. He finally tries to explain what happened, but only gets to say "please forgive me" before Montse leads him outside to the place where her father's remains rest, she then shows him an empty grave site with his name on it (dude, they took his last name!)- she explains that she had the grave stone placed so their child could have somewhere to visit his father on special occasions, she says her heart broke when she saw her child talking to an empty grave.
Montse continues her speech and tells Alejandro that she would have rather taken her son to visit him in jail every Sunday than to have had to endure the suffering of the past seven years-she tells him that he has returned to their lives far too late and then turns to walk away, finally Alejandro tells her that he has been in a coma for seven years. She returns and sits by his side, he tells her that the accident happened very quickly, the last thing he remembers is using Victor's phone and speaking to Graciela who told him that Montse had died, when he woke up from his coma he believed her dead and only wanted to return to Agua Azul to find Rosario and his son.
He explains that he arrived in Agua Azul on her wedding day and that he saw her and Jose Luis leave the church together with Laurito calling Jose Luis "daddy", and then he asks why she married Jose Luis. She explains that she remarried because everyone told her it was time to rebuild her life, but mainly because she felt a great amount of gratitude towards JL- after all Jose Luis spent years in jail for a crime that he did not commit and he sacrificed much in order for Montse and Alejandro to be happy. Alejandro asks if she loves Jose Luis and she tells him "no", then he asks if she still loves him and she says that she does, he is her one true love and then they kiss.
Josefina and Adolfo-he really is a giant marsh-mellow
Josefina and Victor discuss the possibility of Adolfo helping Vic stay in contact with Nadia, Vic is unsure of Adolfo and he reminds Fina that Adolfo and Dimitrio once used her in the worst way and she says she remembers but that she knows how to handle Adolfo and that she will do whatever is needed to help Victor and Nadia be together again.
We see Adolfo receive a phone call from Josefina and they agree to meet up. The place that Josefina picked for their meeting is also the same place where they shared their first kiss. Adolfo starts off by telling Josefina that he cares for her, when he sees her he sees the man he was before she left. Josefina gives him a hard time and tells him that he is a good liar, but Adolfo does not give up, he tells her he is being honest with her, he loves her and he is not after her money or anything else. She ribs him some more and says that once he gets her into bed he will dump her, he says that he does want to get her into bed but only because he wants to wake up to her every morning for the rest of their lives, until they are old and wrinkled. He continues and says he wants everything with her, a wedding, a little house with a garden and all the children god can give them. She agrees to give him the benefit of the doubt and they kiss, then she explains that there are two people who need his help and that she needs for him to help them without asking for anything in return.
Adolfo guesses that it's Victor and she tells him he is right, she takes him to her house so that he can meet with Victor.
Fabiola is scared:
In Fabiola's living room she has a little meeting with Pedro and Sandho, she is scared that Alejandro might not be dead and Pedro tells her not to worry, Alejandro is dead and he is not going to get up from his grave in order to seek revenge-and he is right, the dead don't come back to life but people in comas ALWAYS wake up and seek revenge, especially if they are in a telenovela produced by Televisa.
Later that day Sandho meets with Graciela, he tells her Fabiola is freaking out about the possibility of Alejandro still being alive, and that the way to get to her is to try and find her long lost family. Graciela tells him to leave things alone and excuses herself. At the end of the episode she shows up at Fabiola's house and tells her that they need to talk.
In other news, Dimitrio is starting to pack in order to move in to his new crib and I'm starting to think he is really over Josefina! Also, Maria gets her job back on the pole and Jose Luis finds out first hand what it feels like to have people play you for a fool. Karma is a b*tch.
Come back tomorrow for what's bound to be an hour of must see TV!

Josefina and Victor discuss the possibility of Adolfo helping Vic stay in contact with Nadia, Vic is unsure of Adolfo and he reminds Fina that Adolfo and Dimitrio once used her in the worst way and she says she remembers but that she knows how to handle Adolfo and that she will do whatever is needed to help Victor and Nadia be together again.
We see Adolfo receive a phone call from Josefina and they agree to meet up. The place that Josefina picked for their meeting is also the same place where they shared their first kiss. Adolfo starts off by telling Josefina that he cares for her, when he sees her he sees the man he was before she left. Josefina gives him a hard time and tells him that he is a good liar, but Adolfo does not give up, he tells her he is being honest with her, he loves her and he is not after her money or anything else. She ribs him some more and says that once he gets her into bed he will dump her, he says that he does want to get her into bed but only because he wants to wake up to her every morning for the rest of their lives, until they are old and wrinkled. He continues and says he wants everything with her, a wedding, a little house with a garden and all the children god can give them. She agrees to give him the benefit of the doubt and they kiss, then she explains that there are two people who need his help and that she needs for him to help them without asking for anything in return.
Adolfo guesses that it's Victor and she tells him he is right, she takes him to her house so that he can meet with Victor.
Fabiola is scared:
In Fabiola's living room she has a little meeting with Pedro and Sandho, she is scared that Alejandro might not be dead and Pedro tells her not to worry, Alejandro is dead and he is not going to get up from his grave in order to seek revenge-and he is right, the dead don't come back to life but people in comas ALWAYS wake up and seek revenge, especially if they are in a telenovela produced by Televisa.
Later that day Sandho meets with Graciela, he tells her Fabiola is freaking out about the possibility of Alejandro still being alive, and that the way to get to her is to try and find her long lost family. Graciela tells him to leave things alone and excuses herself. At the end of the episode she shows up at Fabiola's house and tells her that they need to talk.
In other news, Dimitrio is starting to pack in order to move in to his new crib and I'm starting to think he is really over Josefina! Also, Maria gets her job back on the pole and Jose Luis finds out first hand what it feels like to have people play you for a fool. Karma is a b*tch.
Come back tomorrow for what's bound to be an hour of must see TV!

Que Pobres, 5/28: POBRESUQUI!
So here we have the final segment of the disastrous wedding!
But before we get to that, we have a little blowback from Emiliano's little romp with his dad. Lupe wants to punish her son for scaring her. Mike first tries to console her, then goes for a heart-to-heart with the kid. He makes a speech about how the kid should respect and live with his mom for everything she's done for him. But the kid would rather play the video game Alejo bought him.
Consolation and hugs with Lupe.
Now on to the fun: The guests are rumbling and furious about the thefts. The king of sumatra (I can't remember his name) comes out with his chef hat and tries to distract them with talk of dessert. It doesn't fly. That woman in black (chief of Ana Sofia's frenemies) says it must have been the servants who stole the stuff: "all of us here are so rich and good."That's a disturbing development, but people are mostly just mad at the Ruiz-Palacios. They begin taking back the gifts! The ringleader of the frenemies continues to accuse the Menchacas and says "enough with this 'honorable poor' crap," poor people will always steal."
The detective arrives and asks if all of the guests are still present. Somehow nobody has noticed that the parents of the bride are missing.
Vilma brings Alejo a document (pertaining to custody of the kid, I think) and wants to go with him to talk to Lupe. She wants to be an intimidating presence at the meeting.
Mike suspects Alejo might be merely taking advantage of the kid.
Back at the wedding, Ana Sofia gets more and more sour. The ringleader of frenemies pronounces that the Ruiz-Palacios are broken. Leo mentions that this is going worse than a greek tragedy! The guests want the RP to pay for the stolen stuff. They're going to be pobresuiquis!
Saul the lawyer suspects Minerva may have some info to prove Mike's innocence and suggests Mike use his famed seduction skills to get the info out of her. Mike balks, and Saul is confused why he would have any hangups. "Sure, Lupe's a nice and cute girl, but Minerva is... Minerva." I think Saul has a thing for her.
At the wedding again, the detective reveals that Maca is no royalty. The shit hits the fan. AS comes down on Maca with a shaking fury, the girl admits that her "parents" were merely unemployed actors. AS is crushed and deflated and Leo yelps about not being a count.
Vilma reveals that Alejo may have some property rights over the Menchaca house through the grandma. Will he try to use it as leverage to get Lupe to marry him? Anyway, he asks her to stay behind as he goes in to talk to Lupe. He shows her the custody form and suggests it would be so much easier if they just all lived together. She isn't even remotely convinced.
Ana Sofia is in catastrophe. The ringleader notices that her dress is made of the same fabric as the curtains. This is the humiliation of her life. She begs Jesus for help. King of Sumatra hands her a bottle of booze (yikes! she's an alcoholic! does he think he's helping?). She says "thank you, don jesus."
Maca offers Leo a solution: why don't we just run off and live off of your family's fortune. Uhhhh that's a non-starter. They start to let loose on each other. Leo: "we don't have any money. You're a witch and I'll never be a count!
The Prince of Bananas! He's moping in his room over Leo (god knows why he likes the guy). His dad comes in, assumes it's about a girl, and gives him a speech. See, women are like bees. They give you honey and then sting you. Prince says the venom is worse than bee - it's a scorpion. Later, when Guendy comes in and yaks about the wedding disaster, the prince is horrified to hear the wedding went through and maybe encouraged that such a disaster might mean the marriage is short.
Mike makes a date with a fawning Minerva.
The newlyweds are basically moving in with the Menchacas. The king of Sumatra comes in on the arguing pair and snarkily asks how the royalty is doing. At first they bark at him that "we're doing fine, our marriage will last forever," but they quickly get to fighting furiously. She outs him as gay and tromps off. Once she's gone, an unphased Leo says "I'm not gay, I'm metrosexual." An utterly ruined and drunk Ana Sofia gives a "salud por el metro."
And that's basically it!
Julia - I also liked the sailor-knot crack!

De que ella vuelve a él otra vez, otra vez
Rod and the Brat make plans for the evening.
Nat explains Rod’s bad behavior to Irene and Alonso. He lost it over the fabric provider. Irene promises Nat she won’t have to interact with Diego so Nat goes back to her job AGAIN. I think it was Vivi who mentioned that we should keep of tally of how many times she quits Caprico and/or breaks up w/Diego. Irene hopes they will make up and Diego gets rid of his demons. Help me here friends, when did Diego have demons? I know, I know, I’m thinking too hard and my poor tn beanie may burst. Irene also says perhaps he will apologize and propose and Nat says if he did so, I’d be dubious. Ah but would you really Nat?

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.

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!

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

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.”

TELEMUNDO Y MÁS: La Impostora, week of May 26, 2014
As you probably know, La Impostora isn't on tonight, Monday. Telemundo is trying to get you all excited about El Señor de los Cielos 2, which premieres on Tuesday (and which will be discussed on The Front Page).
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. (Not that these shows are addictive or anything...)

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.

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:
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?
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.)
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)

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.

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.

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 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?]

De Que Te Quiero Te Quiero #58 and #59(ish) 5/20/14
I'm pretty sure Univision has the scissors out again. I decided NOT to beat a dead horse and point it out in the recap.
Mostly in order. Sort-of kind-of.
De que se cayó, se cayó
Irene is launching her new line of clothing for Caprico: Eskenda. So exciting!! Last minute adjustments are being made and pep talks are being said.
Chato arrives in a tacky suit and in tacky transportation.
Diana takes a cold shower since Oliverio forgot to pay his gas bill. After getting dressed, she sees the headline about the launch and rushes out.
Alonso makes an on the sly visit to Irene backstage.
Natalia (Nat) suggests that the seamstress take up Brigitte's (Brat) dress a few centimeters. Brat likes the length and later rips out the hem.
Carmen is seated next to Vicente (Grumps) and lets him have it when he makes some snide remarks about the poor and her family. Eleazar (El) drags her away before she gets herself into too much trouble. He reminds her that Grumps owns Caprico/Eskenda.

De Que Te Quiero, Te Quiero #56/57- Mon 5/19
De que sobrevivió, sobrevivió
Irene walks in on the end of Vicente and Tiburcio's conversation wanting to know what exactly Vicente thinks Natalia can take away from him. Vicente sings "Gold Digger" as usual, and he can't get talked out of it by Irene, despite her warning that he'll end up dying alone. When she leaves, Vicente calls Tiburcio back in and tells him he'd better not breathe a word and NO WAY is that girl his granddaughter. He warns Tiburcio that he's liable to get homicidal to keep him quiet. He refuses a call from Alina and keeps suffering through his chest pains.
After talking to Diego, Alina realizes that Diana has been lying every time she said she was meeting Karina.
In the new workroom, Brigitte the Brat tells Natalia to get over it--the old goat will never accept her, since she's a homewrecker. Irene comes in and tells them that Diana runs away from home all the time, so not to worry. Brigitte begs for a modeling job. That might actually be a better job for her. She auditions for Natalia and Irene and then takes advantage of their absence to show Diego her naked (or at least topless) body and ask why he'd settle for a crazy woman or a killjoy when he could have her. Um…a crazy killjoy? Diego throws some random fabric over her when he should be running instead. Unfortunately where he runs to is the dressing room. Natalia and Irene come back and Diego acts like he's doing something wrong and keeps signaling Brigitte not to say anything. When Natalia leaves, he insists that Brigitte is the last woman he'd ever have a fling with. Natalia ends up calling him while he's still in the dressing room, because he's too stupid to leave.

134: The Party's Over
Gun
Crazy
Mendoza
Mansion: Fabiola continued to hold Gracie at gunpoint as she
assaulted Monserrat with a truth that was truly a punch to the gut.
“Don't
you get it, Monserrat, that when your mother accused Alejandro of
murdering Benjamin there were charges brought against him. Then a
warrant for his arrest which led to him having to escape and he died
in that plane crash.” She watched Monserrat begin to cry as Gracie
became anxious. “That is my wedding present to you, Monserrat.
Your mother caused the death of the great love of your life.”

Weekend Discussion: Karmageddon Thoughts
Let's start with a theme song for this (which in another sense is Pedro Medina's anthem).
We've had discussions in the past over this essential Televisa element. They always include elements of satisfaction or dissatisfaction we have with the writers' decisions. If the original audience in Mexico (Televisa) or the US (Telemundo) isn't satisfied with the villains' final ends I'm sure they're vocal about it.

Lo Que La Vida Me Robo #133: 5/16/14: Truth or Consequences With a Gun To Boot!
Ahoy Amguis! Gather round the Patio as I dish the latest news from Aguazul. You won't believe what happened! We had an avocado showdown, er, well one side let's say, a gun, a letter and some testastarone hi jinks. So sit back, enjoy your beverage of choice and sit back as I tell you this beaut of a tale. This is a new earworm for Ale, who seems to be having this song running through his head right about now:Lonesome Loser . Shall we begin?
We start with Fablush holding that gun on Graceless. Fablush is yelping about Monse having to wear the same gown twice to her wedding. No moving unless Fablush tells Graceless to move, what is this Simon Says???? Oh, and no one is missing Graceless, they could care less.
Meanwhile JL opines to Monse he's seen that dress before, but Monse assures him all the wedding dresses are much the same.

Que pobres tan ricos #94 Several characters are (or fake being) lost in translation... MA finally spills the beans to Nepo, who has a double-edged reaction
CHuy tells Lupe the payment would be that the RPs leave the house for-eva. AS would take them to Spain.
MA tells Frida and Leo and AS that they all will be kicked out of the Menchaca house. AS doubts it, in any case they would be moving to Spain soon. Leo swings his arms with the options. Frida mocks them on that plan. AS calls MA over to tell him that Frida is mocking her. She calls him again to tell him she will borrow money from Solomon. She calls him over again to remind him that Solomon is NOT her novio. She has to deal with such a disgusting and materialistic man. See what your ma-ma is capable of doing, your ma-ma, the being that gave you life. Leo reminds them that the parents of the bride would end up paying for the wedding in the end. Everyone knows that. Lupe knocks the door to let them know the Menchacas have arrived at a sentence (ehem… decision regarding whether to help them with the wedding).
Gwendy and Saul make plans for the night. Gwendy tells him that El Mike and Carm went out. She ends up giving him a free facial massage…
The RPs have come down and Lupe tells them the Menchacas will help them… AS assumes they agreed to her terms. But Lupe tells them 25,000 pesos (double what AS had offered). MA agrees on that. Tizoc will take care of the music at the church and the party. AS warns that the archbishop is pretty strict about how the wedding march and Ave Maria should sound like. Chuy tells them he is heading to the market to get the supplies for the food. AS is disgusted… to the m a r k e t ?? … The families great each other as two sports teams do at the end o the game… The Menchacas cheer as team and MA is among them (not with the RPs)…
