TELEMUNDO Y MÁS: THE FRONT PAGE -- El Señor de los Cielos 2, En Otra Piel, and TA DA! Reina de Corazones, week of July 7, 2014
Reina de Corazones starts tonight (Monday) at 8E/7C on Telemundo, and I have to say it looks like fun. Eugenio Siller and Paola Núñez are the protagonistas, and -- deliciously -- Juan Soler and Catherine Siachoque are the main villains. Enrique Iglesias sings the theme song, Bailando.
Here's a little bit about the story:
Reina (Paola Núñez) is a young dressmaker with a horror of a stepmother (Rosalinda Rodriguez, who owns this kind of role) and a jealous half sister. Nicolás (Eugenio Siller) is alone in the world. He earns a living parking cars, but he also knows his way around a poker table. The two meet at the wedding of former porn star, Estefanía (Catherine Siachoque), a millionaire casino owner and soon to be a widow. For Reina and Nicolás, it is love at first sight.
They decide to get married secretly in Las Vegas. But tragedy and malice (i.e. Victor and Estefanía) conspire to separate them.
Juan Soler in a World of Dazzle and Deception, Intrigue, Dizzying Wealth, High Fashion, Juan Soler amid Dirty Money and Dirty Diamonds, Dangerous Men and Fast Women, a World of Casinos and High Rollers, CIA Spies, Amnesia, Juan Soler, Mysterious Threats lurking in bushes, and lots and lots of Sexy, Pretty People -- what's not to like? (Oh and did I mention Juan Soler?)
Note: There is a more extensive, although spoilerish and weirdly incoherent sinopsis on the Telemundo website.
Cast Descriptions based on information gleaned from the Telemundo website:
Paola Núñez is Reina Ortíz (Reina de Corazones/Queen of Hearts), a bright and creative young woman and a dreamer at heart who longs to meet her Prince Charming. She's not hard on the eyes either (but you already guessed that, right?)
Eugenio Siller is Nicolás Núñez. When he meets Reina, it is love at first sight.
Juan Soler is Victor de Rosas (El Halcón Negro/The Black Falcon). He wears a mask of respectability. In fact, his wealth and power and prestige are built on dirty dealings. He has no moral limits. None!
Catherine Siachoque is Estefania Pérez Hidalgo (Reina de Diamantes/Queen of Diamonds), a seductress and a woman addicted to diamonds. She would do anything to win Nicolás's love.
Laura Flores is Agent Sara Smith (Reina de Picas/Queen of Spades), the head of the CIA. Behind her stern facade, she hides a sad past.
Carlos Ferro is Lázaro Leiva, a man who has had a hard life and will soon come to know true love.
Gabriel Coronel is Francisco "Frank" Marino, an agent in the CIA. He is the go-to guy for the toughest missions.
Geraldine Galván is Greta de Rosas, a young woman who lives like a princess until life teaches her a hard lesson.
Wanda D'Isidro is Susanna Santillán, a distinguished socialite and the ex-wife of Victor de Rosas.
Pablo Azar is Juan José "Juanjo" García, a Mexican immigrant who wants to better himself. He adores women.
Paulo Quevedo is Isidro Castillo, a hitman who works for Victor de Rosas.

Lo que la vida me robó, ep. 168, Friday, 7/4/14: What's in a name?
Many of you, I imagine, have stepped away from the Patio to celebrate this most precious of American holidays -- I like to think of you at your parties and picnics and parades, grilling your tofu hotdogs, gasping in delight at the local fireworks display. (That fewer than usual will be reading this recap is a thought I find oddly liberating. Hm?) A safe and happy 4th of July to everyone at every table on and off the Patio!
The monsters of entitlement have taken over Aguazul. They are heartless and soulless and their only thought is to protect themselves and what they believe they have coming to them.
Graciela is entitled to the late Benjamín Almonte's money -- or so she tells herself.

Que Pobres tan Ricos #129 Happy 4th of July!! ... MA dances for joy in anticipation of his freedom... A-hole and Mini prepare the final act in their deception of Lupe
MA and Saul: MA worried about what Lupe heard/saw. Saul says don’t worry about anything right now than the trial result. Guess who is coming to declare in your favor? The Pope!... nope, Bambi’s girl. So focus… and stay up-spirits.
Frida trying to convince Lupe that Mini was just lying her 10 min abs off. Lupe says put yourself in my spot. I can forgive much except for lies.. She said much true, and things she should not know about. So The thorn is here in my chest. Maybe one day I will be able to forgive. I don’t get it, even less each day. Frida asks if she will continue going to the trial. Doubt it. With Emiliano suspended, I can’t leave him here all day. (excuses… excuses…)
Tizoc at studio coming up with a new song out of his underpit… The studio guys don’t like how he is singing it, ‘sing it as we told you’… They change the tempo to a bit new disco, and they like it more, Tizoc not so much.
Next day at trial, Lupe did not come, MA noticed. Saul calls Bambi’s girl to declare.
At fonda, AS continues to drink… Carm takes the glass right off her hands and dumps the wine into the food… Chuy enjoying the show. Lupe is trying to get Emiliano to eat… but he barely responds… this kid needs a shakin’ so bad… as soon as she leaves the room, he calls his daddy… (sigh!) I am so glad there is only a few weeks left of this, I am getting tired of A-hole’s smiles and smirks of satisfaction as he manipulates his own son and uses him to get his way… GRRRR!!!...
Trial continues, MA a bit down since Lupe won’t show up. Night, next day… Gwendy still working on Nepo, wants to make amends. Kisses galore… Trofeo watches from out the window… more kisses.
Frida at school… the guys ‘open the way for her’… she does not appreciate it at all. Walks on.
Judge asks Saul if there is any other document to present for the defense. No, that’s it. Another day Lupe didn’t show up. MA depressed (I bet he could care less now if the veredict is guilty, he is down for the count already).
Back at fonda, Leo predicts that MA will be declared innocent.. Frida not so optimistic. Lupe is quiet. Perla is making fun of MA. Tizoc rants at her. Chuy asks AS if she will say anything. She says DaVinci has not eaten. She is worried about him. (more so than for MA) She does tell him she understands he’s stressed.
Saul with MA… next day they will say the veredict. MA asks what if they declare me guilty? Does Lupe and my family know tomorrow is the veredict? He would rather them not know, maybe it is better for them to find out after the veredict.
At the fonda, Lupe is praying for the saints to give a hand to her and MA. To St Jude, she asks him to get them out of this big mess. To the virgin, she asks to clarify what is going on, to be able to believe in MA. If not, then open my eyes wide, so I can understand and deal with the truth.
Next day, veredict is ready.
At fonda, Chuy notices Lupe is very worried. And he can guess its about MA’s trial. They think the veredict is next week. Lupe asks what if he is declared guilty? The RPs come downstairs. Tizoc has an announcement. He has a gig with very hyp people… in a showcake (Frida explains he will have a 3 song intervention in some variety show). Tizoc really believes he will be famous and it will be fast like foam.
Veredict: innocent on murder of Adolfo and attempt on A-hole. Also innocent on any relation to Bambi. Complete veredict is innocent… MA can’t help but smile. Vilma is in disbelief. MA is dancing for joy. Saul gets into it too.

De Que Te Quiero, Te Quiero #118 & 119, Friday 7/4/14
I hope everyone is enjoying the holiday weekend!
Ugh. This was one of those all-over-the-place and uninspiring episodes. I'm just going to give it the Joe Friday treatment (organized in a stream of consciousness/memory order....not episode order.)
Tad continues to refuse to ask Natalia to be the bone marrow donor. He doesn't want her to think he's just using her. Noble, but stupid.
Brigitte the Brat is still dealing with bouts of nausea. She finally checks her handy-dandy cycle calendar and realizes she must be pregnant. Why the gals always say "no puede ser" is beyond me. Are you having sex? Are you taking precautions? If not then sí puede ser. For the record, it's Rodrigo's. Against Brat's wishes, Alberto talks to Alonso about the nausea and is told it can be anything from an infection to pregnancy. Alberto makes it clear that pregnancy is out. He always took precautions.
Karina is a day late. She wonders if she's pregnant. Brat comes to see her to ask for advice. The fact that Brat is pregnant and Karina wants to get pregnant makes me very nervous.

Que Pobres Tan Ricos #128: 7/3/14: And The Oscar Goes To Mini!
Hola Amiguis! It has now been five days since we have seen Dona Mati, I am keeping count until she reappears, and hopefully that is soon. Tonight was very farcical with the Mini testimony and I have an earworm for just that: The Show Must Go On! I am going to condense, things may not be in order and I am trying to make it short. Enjoy your 4th of July and the long weekend Amiguis!
We start with Mini reading that letter that MA wrote to Lupe and what is Mini gonna do? Isela has a deal for Ahole, he puts the properties, one is the house, in Mini's name. Ahole tells Mini, do what I tell you and you got it!
Lupe and Don C talk. She hasn't heard from MA in ages. Don C tells her to have faith. No one knows how long this trial will take.
Emi calls Ahole and tells him about the sh*tty stunt he pulled to keep Lupe at home. Ahole is very proud of his boy.

Lo Que La Vida Me Robo, Capitulo 167, 3 July, 2014 - 'The Sting'
The Sting
The Set Up
As cons go, you have got to admit this one was a classic.
The plan, the timing, the execution—they were all first rate. The Perpetrator,
Doña Graciela Mendoza, has years of experience of fleecing the wallets, pockets
and banking accounts of her enemies, acquaintances and, sadly, yes, her
children.
But this confidence scheme was breathtaking in its audacity.
It was awesome, truly awesome in its ruthlessness. Why? Because, my friends, the
‘Marks’ were her two daughters and her son-in-law, all of whom she cheated when
they were deeply vulnerable.
Niccolo Machiavelli, rise from your dusty grave and take
notes! Even you could learn from this mistress of deception.
The Perp
As the scene opens, Graciela Mendoza, her face a very mask
of tragedy, holds her long-lost daughter Fabiola, weeping, in her arms. Her
face looks rough, covered with tears and snot.
The First Mark - Fabiola
Graciela has just told Fabiola of her true identity. She is
Graciela’s long lost daughter, believed to be dead lo, these 38 or so years.
Fabiola, is a pitiful and ruined drunk; raised with plenty of money and no one
to love in convent schools from the age of three, she is the proverbial poor
little rich girl. She shudders and weeps and keens over her unbelievable good
luck—she has found a mother after all of these years.
Graciela tells her everything a motherless child would want
to hear—
Graciela loves Fabiola
She needs her
She is all alone because her other children have rejected
her
She wants to be close to her daughter to make up for all of
Fabiola’s years of suffering
Fabiola is her dear, dear daughter; she needs nothing else.
“Mama, Mama,” sobs Fabiola as Graciela holds her in her
strong arms. And Graciela promises the woman, her daughter, that she need never
again be alone.
Later, Amalia, Fabiola’s Godmother, comes by to tell Fabs
not to trust her mother. She is a VERY bad person and Amalia is worried that
Fabiola could get hurt. She begs Fabs to get out of Aguazul before it is too
late. She reminds Fabs of pleasant times they shared earlier in life, when they
visited her in Miami—they were almost like a family. But Fabiola rejects the
great good sense of her Godmother. She tells Amalia that Graciela only wants to
be near her, to know her, to be friends. She accuses Amalia of being a liar and
tells her that she will never forgive her. Never.

Happy 4th of July!!! Since
most of us will be spending Friday at BBQ parties, and not on this site, I am
not going to put a whole lot of time into this recap. Here are the high
level highlights:
-- Even though Nat is fed up with Carmen’s jealousy over
Irene, she’s going ahead with planning for her surprise birthday party the next
day, with Paolo and Lupita’s help. Luz is enlisted to keep Carmen occupied all day
at the mall, while the kids decorate and lay out the food at home.
-- Irene has been listening to the audience, and points out
to Tad that Nat also represents hope for a donor match for him. Tad refuses to
even think about it. He doesn’t want Nat to think that’s why they are trying to
get close to her. All he wants is his daughter’s affection.
-- Lupita and El have made peace and are plotting again.
Lupita tells El about the party and the "keep Carmen occupied at the mall" plan.
He lies to Kimberly, who is in house-cleaning mode, about running off to a
mission. She thinks what she needs to do is up the sexiness factor and she
talks to a friend on the phone who advises her to hire a maid, so that she can
dedicate herself 100% to making herself sexy and desirable for El. She squeezes
herself into a short, red clingy number, ready to greet El at the door, but it’s
just Morales, with the Irene-Nat DNA results. Morales very much appreciates Kim’s
efforts to look sexy, and says so out loud! She laments that El doesn’t
appreciate her, but where can she find a man who does? Morales speaks up, “Right
here!” Suddenly, they are lip-locked. They pull apart and swear not to tell El,
since he would kill Morales. Morales makes a flustered and quick exit, and
hands Kim the envelope to give to El. She opens the envelope, sees the positive
DNA result, and assumes El has a love child.

Lo Que La Vida Me Robó, # 166, 7-2-2014--Ding Dong The Wicked No Balls Governor Is (Might Be?) Dead!
Hi Everyone,
It's going to be a quickie tonight. I was away at a conference in DC and just got back and also my computer has been down for the count since last Thursday. Luckily, our tech department gave me a loaner today so I could do the recap, but I had to try to take notes while watching in real time since I wasn't able to watch in advance. Please feel free to add anything I missed.
Before I begin, I recently read an article about this and wanted to pay tribute to our Gracie's phenomenal crying abilities tonight:

De Que Te Quiero, Te Quiero #114/115- Wed 7/2
De que mi hija es solo mía, es solo miiiiiiiiaaaaaaaaaaaaa!
Diego tries to pretend he wants to go home with Irene to talk to Tad about something else, but she seems suspicious and tells him the story of her baby to see if he also thinks there are too many coincidences….
Carmen reacts predictably to Eleazar wondering if she ever wondered what happened to Natalia's mother. He says maybe she didn't abandon her--maybe the baby was kidnapped and left in the church.
Grumps tells Rodrigo he wanted to get rid of "the girl" so his grandsons wouldn't have to share their inheritance with someone who didn't share the Cacares blood. Tiburcio screwed everything up when he said the baby was still alive. He tells Rodrigo all they can do now is to keep quiet.
Irene is frantic and the guys are acting like she needs to calm down. Tad tells her that the PI was corrupt, so they can't confirm that Natalia is their daughter, even though the DNA test was negative. Tad counsels patience and Irene is pissed that they took it upon themselves to shield her from their suspicions. She says she had every right to go through the same roller coaster of hope and disappointment they've been on. She's convinced that Natalia is their daughter and she doesn't need a DNA test to tell her that…she's got la llamada de la sangre!

Que pobres tan ricos 127: Where do they get hair gel in prison? (and other minor details)
Ana Sofia makes a big show of gushing over the breakfast she cooked. Pretty soon everyone at the restaurant is clamoring for some of that, Lupita rolls her eyes.
Mini's mom tends to the bruise on her daughter's face. Mini pouts. If I can't have Mike, no one can! Her mom tells her to just focus on getting as many bucks as possible out of Ahole so they can afford their expensive lifestyle. Kissyfaces ensue.
Guendy is getting super close to the Banana King, his shirt is open and she's rubbing his chest. She wants more of his time. He protests about a guy he has to meet, but, predictably, she wins. They smooch. He tries vainly to fret about his son, but she shuts that down easily. She entices him to a private dinner at her place later. Oooh lah lah?
Ana Sofia washes dishes. Interesting! Anyway, the mom (forget her name) is rightfully annoyed. I like how she calls AS "Doña Fufurra." The very same Fufurra says this food is far too complicated for simple folk like her to learn to appreciate and cook - it's not garnacha fried in lard.
In Jail, Mike's cellmate meets him on the stairs, calls him "mi Mike," which is cute, and gives him advice about looking calm and confident in front of the judge. Later in his cell Mike apologizes to a Jesus card for his sins.
Ahole drops in at the restaurant. Lupita tries to shut him down and keep him away from Emiliano, but he's actually brought what's-her-name her first modeling check. She goes and gets the kid. Emiliano is completely won. Ugh. It gets worse. The kid has agreed to intercept and steal all the letters Mike sends and block all phone calls and stop Lupita from seeing him ever.
AHA! Guendy's plan is clear! The sexy dinner is actually a meeting with the banana prince! Banana King: I just don't understand how you could like boys. Guendy, attempting to defuse, says "Easy! I love boys!" "What's wrong with girls?" "Meh, there's nothing wrong with girls but manly papuchos really move my turbines. BK's objections seem awfully simpleminded, which is weird given how long he's been brooding over them. He leaves unaccepting. Guendy to the Banana Prince: he'll get there bit by bit, like training a donkey with bits of apple!
Saul tels the R-Ps about mike's court date. Leo gets all excited about courtroom drama until Saul tells him it's not gonna be like the movies and there will be no fistfights. For her part, A.S. is terrified of more press and scandal.
Saul then goes to Lupita to tell her that she'll get to see if not talk to Mike at court. Emiliano, really starting to take after his dad with the evil grimaces, overhears and makes a plan. He will pretend to have the shits to keep his mom home, that little shit!
As the kid is acting sick and running to the bathroom constantly (where he sits on the toilet and reads his comic book and practices his dad's evil smirk), Ana Sofia sees a perfect opportunity to be superior and tells Lupe that maybe her kid is sick from all the low-class food that is served around the house. Geez.
In the courtroom, I totally missed what they were getting at with regards to the "family jewels," (can someone fill me in please?), but it was fun to watch Vilma squirm about saying "balls." However, Mike surprises them all by saying that he couldn't have shot the guy - he was at Minerva's place!
In a boardroom, Ahole is going on about the evils of his cousin and how ashamed granddad would be when he finds that the old dudes have called Agent Chávez in to address their doubts... It seems there was someone else involved in the fraud and her name is Vilma! She has been doing some "strange economic activities."
Ana Sofia will now teach the mom (dang, what's her name?) to cook a simple and "sublime" french vegetable dish. She's a jerk and drinks the cooking wine.
Ahole acts wounded and shocked about Vilma's "betrayal." Agent Chavez is wondering how she possibly could have done all this stuff without help. Ahole squirms and ominously looks at the letter.
Tizoc plays a demo track for some sort of agent who is unimpressed but changes his tune when the kid name-drops Ahole. The agent guy says there might be a market for him but only with a change of image, something more hipster and less provincial then "Tizoc Menchaca."
Nepo, at Mike's jail hearing thing, explains where he got the gun and vouches for Mike as a great guy who wouldn't do anything bad.
The cooking lesson proceeds and it's so annoying I can't even.
AHA! The bullet that killed Girón apparently came from a different gun!
Leo and his sister come home from the jail thing and are astonished to see their mom cooking! "OH. My. COOKING. GOD." Ugh, it sounds like AS wants to get payed for the derisive "lesson."
Ahole, knowing that Mini might be about to corroborate Mike's alibi, brings her the stolen love letter from Mike to Lupita that he had his son steal. She reads it but doesn't look as pissed as Ahole was hoping. Will it change her mind about testifying? From the avances, it looks like it doesn't, as we get to see her gushing in front of the judge about her night of sublime passion with Mike.

She said nothing happened between her and Refugio. At the last minute, he realized his mistake and put a kabosh on it. Zulema still thinks he is not trustworthy if he will be hanging around Monica all day long at work. Esme breaks the news that Monica is dead. Zulema feels bad that she was speaking ill of the dead. Esme says Refugio came to her last night and was heartbroken. He feels responsible. Zulema wonders if perhaps he really did have feelings for her. Esme says they worked for years together, he has to feel something. Zulema asks if she is going to forgive Refugio. No, replies Esme. The problem wasn't Monica but Refugio himself. He's looking for something that I can't give him.

Skipping the old and into the new....
No Balls Pedro pays a friendly visit to our resident loca, Maria. He tells the guards to leave, but she loudly pleads for them to stay. Pedro menacingly tells Maria that nothing will happen to her. He just wants to have a chin-wag. The guard informs Pedro that he has orders not to leave Maria alone but Pedro pulls rank and says he's the governor. Are you going to disobey me? The guard finally agrees but will keep watch. He turns to Maria and informs her that her days are numbered. Maria, who has more balls then Pedro, throws it back to his face that HIS days are numbered. When you are thrown in prison, I promise to visit you so I can laugh in your face. You can't hurt me. As you can see, JL made sure that I am carefully watched. Pedro says he's not afraid of her threats. He will find a way to do away with her. So make sure you be careful what comes out of your mouth. Because this time, I will not contract your death out. I will do it myself.

Que pobres tan ricos #126, Tuesday July 1: Don Chuy has a secret, Emiliano continues his descent, Ana Sofia cooks breakfast.
As I expected, this was an awful episode.
Nepo is in an awful mood at the lawyers' office. He agrees Mike is innocent of the particular crimes he's being charged with, but he HAS wrecked Nepo's life. Saul wants Nepo to make a deposition concerning the pistol and also Mike's good character. That's just too much, Nepo grumbles and leaves saying he'll get back to him.
Vilma is pleased the case against Mike goes forward tomorrow. Alejo decides if Mike is freed he will blame everything on our poor defunct Adolfo Giron. This makes Wilma sad though she doesn't disagree.
Tomas keeps waving some papers, 'proofs,' perhaps from Don Bambi, also a picture of some reporter. Please fill me in if it's important.
Lupita has money for Nepo and for Don Solomon but is furious to find out Alejo has paid back the debt to Don Solomon.
Top Cop comes to see Alejo, demanding to see Mati. Alejo says his grandmother is not in his house, she's in the best possible place for her (other than the grave of course) and reminds the cop "I am her custodian." "I insist on seeing her!" Alejo gives an address and Wilma calls the nurse to make sure everything looks ok. Grr.
At jail Tomas and Saul assure Mike things will be ok, they ave the laptop. Mike writes a letter to Lupita and gives it to Tomas for delivery.
Lupita storms in to see Alejo (Wilma is jealous) and yells about his meddling in her affairs. He counters by laying it on about how Mike is a criminal and also is shagging Minerva. He brings Wilma in to confirm the story. Lupe doesn't believe it but her resolve is weakening, she knows Mike would do ... almost... anything to get proofs of his innocence... Minerva is listening at the door, very pleased.
AS comes down to make breakfast for her kids, "is that a crime?" she asks Carmelita, who is annoyed. AS says the poor never think about anything but money.
Chuy sneaks out mysteriously again for the second time. This time Carmelita follows him and sees him greeted at the door (somewhere) by a pretty woman. Furious, Carmelita finally rushes over, bangs on the door, and when they open it, she's there with her fists up! Chuy and the woman laugh. Turns out this is the house where Tomas lives. They invite her in and show her something (which we don't get to see) in the next room. Abashed, Carmelita agrees to keep this secret and apologizes for her behavior. Chuy liked seeing her so jealous and suggests they go on a date. They leave arm in arm.
Lupita leaves Alejo's office (after he has once again suggested that she marry HIM, not Mike). There is Minerva, pouring on the innuendo: "Want to know about our spectacular nights of passion in my house?" She says she'll be having a conjugal visit in prison soon. Lupe's exasperation mounts until she head butts Minerva, who then storms into Alejo's office and demands an instantaneous divorce.
Perla amazed to see AS cook. It smells tasty! I was a good wife and mother so I know how to cook etc etc." Perla says she won't have to cook because she is a top international model! Ana Sofia says "your 15 minutes of fame will end, then what? So help me chop already."
Saul tells Mike to rest up for the trial. Lupe comes home upset and Carmelita tells her to hang on. Tizoc gets some good news.
Tomas comes to give Lupita her letter from Mike but gives it to Emiliano instead. He hides it and runs away, then calls his dad: "Should I give it to her?" "No. I'll buy you something special for giving the letter to me."
Tomorrow: Wilma is accused of fraud.

De Que Te Quiero, Te Quiero #112/113- Tuesday 7/1
I will be out of town July 11 (Friday) and July 29th (Tuesday.) I am hoping someone can do the recaps so Kat doesn't have to. Thanks!
Tonight's recap will be in alphabetical rather than episode order (and mostly from memory so please fill in my gaps!)
A is for....
Abdallah
Carmen's kiss has perhaps awakened some feelings from the past. He brings her a bouquet of flowers and a pretty bracelet. She turns down the gift and his advances. He also picks a fight with Eleazar and tells him he is going to fight for Carmen. Abdallah thinks he'll win because Carmen is a woman with principles and she's not going to be with El while he has a baby on the way.
Alberto
He continues to be suspicious of Brigitte. He calls Carmen's house looking for her and is told by Paolo that Brat is not there and hasn't seen her. This is news to Alberto. Brat told him she was going to be with her mother.
Alonso
He did it with Karina. It was the happiest three minutes of her life (Not recapper snark; she actually said that.)
Andres
He gives Nat a call. He hasn't given up it seems.

De Que Te Quiero, Te Quiero #110/111- Mon 6/30
De que están juntos otra vez (por ahora), están juntos otra vez (por ahora)
Jaiba is dazzled by Big Abdul's storefront. Abdul the Lesser is less dazzled by what Jaiba might be doing there. She's such a dimwit, she thinks a large Buddha statue is pure gold. Big Abdul explains it's only gold-plated and he keeps the reeeeally expensive stuff under lock and key.
The bowling alley has sold and Luchón tells Mara that he's found another job for her.
Big Abdul takes a business call on his cell phone about some expensive jewelry and a wedding in Dubai. Jaiba thought bubbles that she needs to hook this big fish quick, especially if she wants him to take her to Dubai…not that she knows where Dubai is.
Natalia picks on Diego for being so squeamish about being peed on. "It worked, didn't it? And the doctor said it was the right thing to do." I'm not sure the doctor thinks smoochies are conducive to Diego's recovery, though.
Luz greets Eleazar happily and tells him she's teaching Kimberly how to cook. When Kim goes off to the bedroom, Luz tells El she can tell that Kimberly doesn't want her there, but too bad!
Natalia takes a call from Vicente, who insists she must be with Diego and won't take "no" for an answer. Since he says it's about Caprico, she says she'll put him on speaker. Vicente tells them about the broken machinery and Diego says they'll be back as soon as they can. Natalia goes to find the doctor and get Diego discharged.

Qué Pobres, Lunes 6/30/14 (#125): Pretentious? Moi?
Prince Emiliano is full of attitude about his mother's engagement to MA, but he does sort of have a point. First they were cousins, and now they're getting married? He's in jail, so what is going on? Emi waves the newspaper photo right in Lupe's face (so maybe he has a point, but he's still a brat). Lupe says, "MA is a good man and you know it. I thought you wanted a father like him." Emi says that was before he met his real dad.
And of course he's really in a mess at school because when his pals didn't believe he had a father, he let them think it was MA; now he has a real father and they don't believe that AND they think his father is a criminal. (And, in fact, he is... it's just not the same father. I'm getting a headache just thinking about how confusing this would be for a kid.)
Frida overhears the conversation and privately tells Lupe she can relate to what the boy is going through at school. She counsels Lupe to be patient with him. Later, Frida visits Emiliano to talk about the way he was bullied. They bond over the helpless feeling of being teased by classmates about foolish things.

Lo Que La Vida Me Robo# 163: 6/27/14: Descanse En Paz Capitana Renteria!
Ahoy Amiguis! It's a sad day on our Patio of Disillusionment! There is a big disturbance in the force as there is jockying for positon, and one of the leading crime fighters paid the ultimate price, but that being said there are more secrets and lies coming out like a leak in a dinghy so to speak, and it's not a pinhole leak either. I have added levity for this recap, cause frankly I needed it. It's a bit campy but what the heck, you'll get a good chuckle from it. Call Me Maybe!
Shall we begin? I am skipping the old and getting right to the new.
JL and Refug are having a chat in JL's office about Beech Maria, how she will pay to the letter of the law. Refug's cell rings and it's Admiral Robledo wanting Refug to report to the base cause they are launching an emergency operation to trap the Scorpion!

De Que Te Quiero, Te Quiero #108 & 109, 6/27/2014
De que están mal de estómago, están mal de estómago...O...De que están mal de cabeza, están mal de cabeza
PART ONE
Stomach ailments seemed to be the running theme tonight. Does anyone know where we are on the Mexican episode numbers? Judging from Wikipedia episode titles it looks like #127, #128 and #129...but I don't think they are editing any more. Just curious.
I'll skip right to "Lo Nuevo" ('cause it started with a big ol' belly laugh for me...)
When last we left our little Brigitte the Brat, she was moving in for thekill kiss with Andres. I can't tell if they actually kissed, but Brat apologizes. She just got carried away. She remembers how when she was younger Andres was always around Natalia. He was always loving and sweet. She tells him that she used to think how nice it would be to have someone love her like that. Dude may act like a doofus, but he had Brat's number. He literally laughed in her face. It was awesome. I've rewinded several times and watched, but I guess I need to get on with the recap. He knew she was just after the pesos (so in English it's "all about the Benjamins". In Mexico is it "all about the Benitos"?) Brat asks him not to offend her and he very plainly tells her that she offended herself quite well on her own by throwing herself at him. She didn't even call him by his name in Tuxpan. He was just "el pescador." He's sorry she doesn't like her boyfriend, but too bad. Out of respect for Nat and Carmen, he's not going to mention this to them. She leaves in a huff.

Que Pobres tan Ricos #124 Fri June 27, 2014 MA is going bonkers, gets a few more headaches but also gets a new Ace card (Top Cop)
Nepo kisses Gwendy and they end up under the sheets again. But she wakes up alone in bed. She calls his cell. But it gets his voicemail. She leaves a very nice message.
Leo and Frida tell AS she can’t back down now, only two people can see MA in a given day. AS says not that I don’t want to see him I don’t want to take 20 buses to go see him. Leo says DA offered to give them a ride. AS does not trust the fruitman’s son(The cheeky futbol player). DA arrives. AS still nags its not a good idea, she could get an anxiety attack seeing her son behind bars… Dios, send me a signal!
At school Emiliano does not waste a moment to brag about his dad’s money status, but this gets some boys to walk away from him. Emiliano keeps bragging but the other boys tell him they know his dad is in jail. Emiliano ends up defending his ‘dad’ saying he earns his money fairly, they show him a newspaper picture of MA and Emiliano calls him MA. The boys question that and then end up shouting ‘ratero!’ (liar!!/burglar!!). They say the guy in the picture came to see him, they say he is ashamed but it is his dad. Then they shout that Emiliano is a liar!! Liar!! Emiliano calls A-hole with his cell to get some help.
Frida visits MA. They have a nice emotional scene. She tells him someone else is here. MA does not expect AS. Nope, its Leo. Leo says his mom would never step in a jail. MA says with or without mom I am so glad to see you two.
At Fonda, AS comes downstairs. Lupe nags at her that she skipped seeing MA so AS would go but she didn’t. AS tries to excuse herself but Carm says no excuse is good enough.
MA tries to not let Leo and Frida have too high hopes that he will make it out. Frida asks if you don’t get out, how long will you be here? MA can only guess it would be many years. How is Guadalupe? MA says the illusion that he will soon marry Guadalupe gives him hopes. Frida says Guadalupe is so strong, won’t let anyone put her down. Leo says AS found out about the wedding. But the buzzer sounds before they can tell him AS is trying her dandest to convince Lupe to desist.

Lo Que La Vida Me Robo 162 - 26 June 2014 - Maria's Luck Goes South
Well, I took a look-see into the happenings in Aguazul tonight and I haven’t got much to report. Everyday in Aguazul starts with a beautiful sunrise and a sad song; that much is clear and consistent. But not much else changes in this hot and steamy town from week to week.
As you saw last night, Mama Graciela dropped in on Maria at her new place. You can tell Maria has decorated the crib because there is a large painted object on the wall. In case you were wondering about the function of this object, it is clearly identified, in English, as ‘ART’. At least something in Bluewater is, um, as it seems. Art by the yard is still art by the yard.
Gracie comes into Maria’s wearing an outfit that could have come straight from Bed Bath and Beyond. She sports a turquoise blue-fringed tablecloth over a white lace fitted top and a floor length striped maxi skirt. Actually, I take it back—the lace on her undershirt looks hand made. I suspect some nice abuela in Aguazul is missing her fancy Navidad white lace linens.

Episode #106
Tad Wins the Telenovela Disease of the Month Lottery
Last time we saw Tad, he had collapsed in front of the
restaurant where he had unsuccessfully tried to steal a hair sample from
Natalia, and was bleeding profusely from his nose. Nat calls Irene, who tells
Nat which hospital the ambulance should take Tad, and then Irene calls Tad’s
doctor. At the hospital, the doctor reveals to Irene that Tad has been hiding
the leukemia diagnosis he got in NY. The best place for him to get treatment is
the hospital in NY. Irene informs Nat, asks her to take over at Eskenda, and
immediately packs Tad up and takes him to NY.
In NY, Irene is informed that Tad’s only hope is a bone
marrow transplant. His chances of finding a match are slim because he has no
living relatives… Tad seems less worried about this, and more concerned about
how happy Irene will be if Nat turns out to be their daughter. He and Irene are
really sweet and loving with each other in the hospital. Irene’s upset, but she’s
staying strong. You go, Irene! Tad doesn’t tell her about Nat possibly being
theirs, since he doesn’t want to get her hopes up. (Dude! Tad, this could save
your LIFE! Spill the beans, already!) He calls P.I. McShady and puts him on the
case to get Nat’s DNA, then calls his maid and asks her to get hair out of
Irene’s brush and give it to the P.I. She at first thinks he’s trying to work
some voodoo love spell, but does as she’s told.

Que Pobres Tan Ricos #122: 6/25/14: Dona Mati's New Conundrum! Ahole Needs A Million Cast Iron Skillets!
Hola Amiguis! I am posting the highlights of what happened last epi. I don't know if EZ is posting, but if he is, I will take this one down.
Don Bambi got transferred to Spain cause ya know his bebe Mama lives there, plus she's got all that money, so he is now in a Spanish prison, but no worries, MA is still protected, only Don Bambi didn't clear MA before he left. MA tells Saul, and Saul reminds him there is always Mini, wink, wink! MA is less than enthused.
Agente Chavez kept his promise to check back in with Ahole and Dona Mati, so he even brought his own Doc. Well the Doc examines her and finds she is completely demented, well not that, but has senile dementia. Poor Dona Mati kept referring to Ahole as Angelito and we know she isn't meaning Ahole. This exam was done while Vilma, Ahole and the nurse are all present. The Doc even checked the "pills" that that stupid nurse says she's been giving Dona Mati and the Doc agrees these pills are the latest treatment. Don Mati actually has nice jammies on, a scarlet silk pair. As soon as Agente Chavez and the Doc leaves, Beto, Ahole and Vilma, along with that, may the anvil strike her, nurse, and Dona Mati go in a car and stop in this really tough neighboorhood and drop Dona Mati off. Ahole thinks whoever finds her will think she's a poor woman, off her head, and she'll probably die in this 'hood, far away from him and La Nopalera. I hope Ahole goes to hellz, along with the nurse, Vilma and Beto!

Bring it! Alejandro vs Pedro, the fight is on. Lo Que La Vida Me Robo 161 Wed. June 25th.2014
Patio peeps, hiiii! I just wanted to let you all know that I miss snarking with you but I was without cable/internet for over a week, and while I can read the recaps at work I can't comment because of the volume of work I have, I've missed you all and I've read all the awesome recaps and comments! I hope to be able to get back to commenting soon, but right now work makes it impossible, anyhoo, here is the recap for tonight's episode, enjoy! Ah, I should mention that I watched this episode with my sisters and will be adding some of their reactions to the show in this recap.
When you mess up, propose!
We start tonight's episode where we left off last night-Dimitrio has proposed to Monica, because now that he has slept with his ex-wife Josefina he knows for sure that any feelings he had for her are now dead (shifty eyes), he explains to Monica that he and his sister are in the same situation, both needed to face their past, Montserrat found that she still loved Alejandro, and he on the other hand learned that his feelings for Monica are real, he tells her that he wants to spend the rest of his life with her. She tells him that he betrayed her not only as a woman but as his superior, why did he keep from her the fact that Alejandro was back inAgua Azul?
Dimitrio explains that he did not want her involved in the mess, Alejandro is family, the father of his nephew, his sisters husband, what was he supposed to do? Monica softens and agrees to marry him, let me just add that this kind of behavior from men is what drives women to do bad things, things that land them their own episodes of Snapped.

De Que Te Quiero, Te Quiero #104/105- Wed 6/25
De que llegó el turco, llegó el turco
Diego doesn't hear a thing Alberto says after he hears that he's married to Natalia…he wants to talk to her first and Alberto grudgingly picks up the phone.
Natalia goes out to the car and happily announces to Andres that she just got a job offer. He's suspicious. Alberto's call comes through and she agrees to talk to Diego, annoyed. Andres says he'll take her to Alberto's office, but he's worried that the PI hired by the Cacares is nosing around about her and that it doesn't bode well. For some ridiculous reason, she agrees it would be a good idea for him to join her at the appointment.
Gino leaves Luchón in charge of the bowling alley and a trust fund for Paolo's education.
Rod and Vicente find it promising that Irene is at least thinking about it, so maybe later they can convince her to stay. Rod thought bubbles that this will give him time to cook the books.
Irene calls Diego and even though he's suspicious, both he and Alberto agree it's a good idea to stay through the launch of the first collection. Alberto talks about drawing up papers where everyone agrees to Eskenda separating from Caprico once the collection is launched. Natalia walks in with Andres.

De Que Te Quiero, Te Quiero #101- Tues 6/24
De que hablan de negocios, hablan de negocios....O....De que son chismosas, son chismosas....O De que su hijo es un tarado, es un tarado....O....De que no entendió "orden de restricción", no entendió....O De que regresó con dinero, regresó con dinero....O... De que regresó otro papá, regresó otro papá
Abdul is an AbDUMMY. He comes home drunk and starts a fight with Carmen. The next day he tells her he's leaving the house. He's going to live his life the way he wants. La Jaiba eggs him on for two hours. She calls him her man and offers him work. Carmen sends Padre Juancho to talk some sense into him to no avail. Padre Juancho also finds out the cantina is just a front for a brothel.
But it's OK!! Abdul's daddy is in the DF and he's shopping for computer equipment for his business. He asks a nice young lady to help. Her name is Natalia Garcia Pabuena!
Rod lets Grumps know that he talked to Diego and his leaving is not a good idea. Grumps is clearly all about the business since it's his "masterpiece."
Diego and Irene continue to work on their proposal to separate from Caprico. They think that since there is a crisis in the auto industry, Caprico will actually want the influx of cash that they are offering. (And this is the bit I don't get, they want to PAY to leave?)

Lo que la vida me robó, ep. 160, Tues. 6/24/14: Shut up! No, you shut up! No, YOU shut up!
Graciela continues her conversation with Montserrat.
She tells her daughter that her marriage to that Sad Deluded Bastard José Luis will be invalid, and she'll be able to go back to the man she loves.
"No, that won't be possible," says Montserrat miserably. "For Alejandro's freedom, I had to swear that I'd never see him again."
Graciela is aghast. "What's the matter with you? Why did you do that? José Luis did absolutely nothing to help Alejandro! I was the one who got him out of jail!"
Montserrat is stunned. Could her mother be telling the truth? Nah. "For one second, I actually believed you," she says.
"I'm not lying, Montserrat. Maybe José Luis unlocked the door of his cell so he could leave. But it was Judge Esperón who gave the order to release him after he talked to me -- to your mother!"

De Que Te Quiero, Te Quiero #100- Mon 6/23
De que está enojada con los dos, está enojada con los dos
Kimberly demands to know why El waited so long to tell her. But really, she doesn't care, because she's never going to forgive him and her only consolation is that Carmen doesn't love him and is going to marry Gino. So there! Cunchetina comes outside and suggests they go see Carmen now or consider themselves defeated.
Gino shows up at Carmen's with flowers, which she gladly accepts, and invites him in to tell him about her day. She tells him about the anonymous call and going to the hotel and seeing El with another woman, and Paolo about to check into the hotel with Mara. Gino doesn't think Paolo and Mara having the sex is so bad. He says the call must have been about Paolo, because why would the anonymous caller think Carmen would care about El? Why, indeed.
Tad tells Irene they played a mean trick on Natalia. He gets that she wanted Natalia's happiness and says Nat and Diego will save their love if it's strong enough. He suggests she back off Natalia for a while instead of trying to "fix" things.
Carmen blah, blah, blahs about how El's a good friend of the family is all. And he's screwing around with another woman when he's engaged. Hint, hint. Carmen asks Gino to imagine if someone saw HIM in the same situation as El…hmmmmm? Gino takes his leave and promises to have a manly chat with Paolo. Carmen, having come to the misguided conclusion that she has to end up with SOMEBODY, can't believe she was going to throw Gino over for El. Silly me, thinking one evaluated each suitor on his own merits.

Lo Que La Vida Me Robó Lunes 6/23/14 #159
Chapter
159: The Lost Men
Police
Chief's Office: José Luis
Álvarez sat behind his
desk while staring at his trophy bride. Since he first met her ten
years before he had been through a lot. He had been a lowly corporal
in the Navy when he fell in love with the daughter of a retired
Admiral. If he had been ballsy enough to approach her father back
then he would never have gone through anything he had endured since.
After being framed for murder by her brother and mother, he became a
fugitive along with his friend Refugio Solares. His friend had
killed the officer with whom he had been sent to transport José Luis
to the main naval prison in Mexico City. They had assumed other
identities to allow him to get closer to Monserrat Mendoza to get her
to run away from the husband who had been forced upon her.

Mi Corazón Es Tuyo (My Heart Is Yours) - Synopsis
MiCorazón Es Tuyo (My Heart Is Yours) starts July 21 @ 8PM for now, replacing DQTQ, and is a Juan Osorio production.....
Ana Leal (Silvia Navarro) is an exotic dancer by night who, as fate would have it, begins working as a nanny in a wealthy family’s mansion during the day. Fernando Lascurain (Jorge Salinas), the owner of this grand mansion and its even grander family, is a successful businessman and widower left with seven kids to raise. (This guy's been busy!)
Ana hates the exotic dancer gig but she has just lost possession of the house she's worked so hard to own. She's determined to begin all over again. Because of some clerical error during her job search, Ana learns she's actually been sent to apply as a “nanny” for a wealthy widower with seven—count 'em, s.e.v.e.n. …..uhmmmm..... shall we say ….vexingly vivacious..... --children. Their papi, meanwhile, is determined to replace his deceased wife with a woman of similar status and “breeding” (as in cattle, horses, and she-dogs).
Ana, although not from the righteously rarified right side of the tracks, manages to pull a Mary Poppins on the kids to get them over the trauma of losing their mama. Along the way, she and Fernando recognize their romantic attraction towards each other.
Also starring is Pablo Montero as Fernando’s brother and Mayrín Villanueva as a first-time villana. Other headliners are Carmen Salinas, René Casados, Adrián Uribe, Fabiola Campomanes, and Lisardo.

Lo Que La Vida Me Robo #158: 6/20/14: Graceless Does A Semi Amazing Thingy, Que????????
Ahoy Amiguis! The fog on the Patio of Disillusionment has thickened so much, we have added candles to the tables. Where have all these characters' brains gone? Sometimes I think the writers "borrowed" some of the script of "Lost" and ran with it. You can't tell from one day to the next who is jumping to the Others and who is staying with everyone else. I need some levity, which I am sure Y'all could use, so this little earworm will surprise you. It is a actor on this TN and he does a great job. Please take a listen. Lo Que Siento Por Ti
JL (Jose Luis) and Monica meet up, JL informs her that Ale (Alejandro) is in Aguazul, and he has an idea where he is. Monica will call the Navy for an assist.
Fina (Josefina) and Dimi (Dimitrio) and the sad replay of the aftermath of the escatasy they enjoyed not many hours before. They are both sad, their faces don't lie, but they chalk it up to being a mistake. Fina heads to the bathroom and cries her like her heart is breaking.

Que Pobres tan Ricos, #119, 20 June 2014. MA is transferred, AS is depressed, Perla is cover girl, and Lupe gets the last laugh/punch.
MA begs Top Cop to let Lupe and all family visit him. Top Cop says ok and leaves.
Lupe is ignoring Mini. Mini yells at the police receptionist that she is Minerva Fontanet, niece of so and so and demands to see Lic MARP. Lupe says she is Lupe Menchaca and wants to see him too. Receptionist is overwhelmed and just promises he will do what he can.
At Fonda, they all arrive. Very hungry Tizoc gets some killer stares. Frida asks how the trip went. AS whines and whines… she never thought she would say this but ‘finally we got home!’ But AS does not want to hear anything about MA. Not even Leo understands her attitude. Chuy gives her the benefit of the doubt and tells them she is more affected than it seems. Not everyone can express their feelings directly.
Gwendy with Nepo… he is deflated, she is trying to cheer him up. She offers him a ‘cure all’ shot… She brings a glass… he says he will need about chorros – hundreds of these to get over it. Gwendy is there for him. He says what he would like most is to cry… they are both already crying. Gwendy will accompany him in crying. He takes a shot glass in one swallow, then breaks down and cries. She says ‘go ahead get it out’.
The nurse is trying to read the paper. ‘check the Fonda, ‘al fondo’ (in the end… end of the hallway, end of the drawer… who knows). Nurse gives up in trying to figure it out.
Mini keeps nagging at Lupe, can’t believe MA fell so low. You even smell of frying fat. You are nothing but a ‘wild rose’. Lupe rebutes you are married to his cousin. Mini claims that marriage means nothing. She asks Lupe to admit that a man like ‘mi vi’ would never take a serious relationship with a ‘fritanguera’.
Nepo is napping on the couch with the bottle by his arm. Wakes up. Achis! Gwendy brings him some food (sandwiches). He needs Lupe to…. (Gwendy finishes his line… to love you!.) Gwendy asks him to get over it, if a woman doesn’t love you you have nothing to look for. Diego comes in at that time and Nepo is ready to beat him to a pulp, but Gwendy stops him. Nepo does not want to see DA anymore! DA is scared/shocked. DA tries to talk to him, but is decided to try the relationship with Leo, we are already ‘pareja’ ( a serious couple). Nepo believes it is a joke. Gwendy has to jump between them. She tries to get Nepo to listen, but to no avail. Diego again tries to talk to him, but all he gets is Nepo kicking him out. Gwendy offers her house to DA. Nepo won’t even let DA pack anything. And he kicks the two of them out. DA leaves, Gwendy leaves Nepo with one more food for thought ‘go on like this and you will end up more alone than the statue of independence.

De Que Te Quiero, Te Quiero #99, 6/20/2014
Part One
I did some combining of scenes.
El Refrito
- Mr. Policeman is told to keep out the OTHER guy that looks like the picture out.
- Brat cries to Alberto.
- Natalia tells Diego that she doesn't want Diego or Rod near her until she can tell the difference. She's so confused could hate or love Diego or Rodrigo equally.
Diego (like this recapper) doesn't understand how Natalia can consider him and Rod one and the same. Natalia feels like a trophy in the twins' game, but Diego swears he's never seen her as a trophy. The love each other! How can she be doing this? The only thing she knows is she's confused (and maybe a little dumb?)
Gino supervises Paolo's computer usage. Paolo realizes he's going to distract Gino if he's to discover anything. Paolo calls Mara and she comes running to tell Gino some machine or something is making an odd noise. Gino tells Paolo to take it, but Paolo makes some excuse about being in the middle of his computer business. Gino finally leaves and Paolo finds the deleted emails from the secret admirer, Cunchetina (C-tina.) One email asks Gino to meet at a hotel restaurant at 8. Paolo is distressed that his mom is being lied to.
Diego chooses a sporting metaphor (If you do this Rod "wins) and Nat is not happy about it. She doesn't want to be the plaything between Rod and Diego anymore and just wants them to leave her alone. Diego doesn't want her upset, so he agrees. He'll leave, but he's sad that Rod came between them. He leaves the fonda like a defeated dog and Rod, observing from the corner, thinks to himself that Nat must have kicked his bro to the curve. He muses that they are both tied in the Natalia Cup.
In Tuxpan, the slimy PI (Alejandro Rotundo) checks birth records.
Carmen and Natalia discuss the latest happenings. Natalia doesn't doubt she loves Diego; the problem is she can't tell the two of them apart. Rod could walk in right now and be sweet and kind and Nat would thinks it's Diego. It's driving Nat crazy. Carmen suggests that Nat talk to a professional.
Diego calls Alonso at his office. Alonso tells him to come on over. Irene calls soon after Alonso hangs up with Diego. He lets her know that Diego is upset after talking to Natalia and suggests that Irene come by his office as well. Irene heads over.

Weekend Discussion: Children and Secrets
In view of the recent trend in novelas to have children in the position of keeping secrets, I thought this an apt discussion point.
Lauro and Victoria had the secret of Alejandro being alive and he and Victor being in Aguazul (which has now been blown to pieces). Victoria still needs to keep the secret of the cell phone in Nadia's possession and we know that one won't last long. It won't necessarily be her fault, either, as the close of last night's episode wasn't about the kids.
I personally don't believe that children should be burdened with secrets of any kind. Children the ages of Victoria and Lauro aren't quite old enough to have a real grasp of the purpose of these secrets. During that scene at school recess I started wondering who would overhear them.
There is also the issue of keeping secrets from kids. If Lauro doesn't end up in a dangerous situation before this tale is over, what do you think Monserrat should do about what he doesn't yet know (Not that Alejandro should be left out of this decision but she knows him better due to the circumstances)? What sort -- if any -- of family secrets should be shared with kids? When? How?
The floor is open

Que Pobres Tan Ricos #118: 6/19/14: The King of the Porca Miseria!
Hola, Amiguis! I will try to make this recap short and sweet, all I gotta say is poor, poor Dona Mati! May Ahole rot in porca miseria, jus' sayin'.
We start with Vilma doing PI duty again and she's found Frida and Lupe. Does Ahole want her to follow them? Course he does, silly question, find Dona Mati, that is the goal.
Tizoc, Perla and Carm are leaving the karaoke place and Tizoc is still pithed over losing. Don Chuy comes and tells them what happened to MA. Carm hits Leo with her fan, and Vilma just happens by and sees them with Dona Mati.
Guendy is talking to Lupe on the phone. Lupe wants all the info she has especially about where MA is, the jail that is. Guendy spills that Nepo went to talk to Ahole. Sucks to be Nepo, the Banana King.

Lo Que La Vida Me Robo # 157, Invalid Format, 19 June, 2014
Invalid Format
Dear Friends:
I regret to report that I am unable to tell you what happened tonight on 'Robo, because my television is showing no picture and claiming to have an "invalid format". I do not know what this error message means, and, neither (apparently) do the Comcast phone technicians because after 70 minutes on the phone they sadly informed me, that although I am a very valued customer! they do not know what is wrong with their #$%%%^^&&&#@! cable box.
The nice lady from Comcast offers, "Perhaps someone can come and replace it, tomorrow, say between 12-2PM?"
That will be just ducky, I respond, but what about the adoring public out there, waiting to find out if Jose Luis shoots anyone important on 'Lo Que La Vida Me Robo'?
You, adoring public, are out of luck.
So, your faithful recapper begs your pardon and asks that, as a group, you tell ME just what happened in tonight's episode. Please post your notes in the comments.
I'll look forward to hosting a lively discussion on tonight's happenings tomorrow on the blog.
Is Mercury Retrograde or is it just me?
Hasta mañana,
Your grumpy amiga, Elna June

De Que Te Quiero, Te Quiero #98, 6/19/2014
De que cayó otra vez,
cayó otra vez
Read more »
I’m just doing a recap from memory without going back
to watch a 2nd time. The plot went all over the place today, so I hope I
capture it all. If not, let us know in the comments.
- We get a repeat of dumb bunny Natalia (who I do actually like),
assuming the healthy looking, smirking guy in front of her is Diego instead of
Rodrigo. She proceeds to smooch him through the jail bars, and detail her plans
to see Diego on the sly, and find a way to get back at Rod. “Diego” is all on
board with making “them” pay, and keeping their smooching sessions secret.
-Kimberly has decided that the best way to hold on to her
man is through parading around in nothing but his shirt, being sweet to him,
and giving him massages in bed. For the first time the audience is right on
board with Kim, since she manages to get El shirtless for a number of scenes.
He gets a call from Cunchetina, who relates her picture swap with Gino,
and El lies to Kim that it was a coworker telling him something about the
operation they were on last night. Kim doesn’t look convinced, and looks quite
dangerous with the pointy nail file she’s got in hand. El goes to the shower.
Sadly, we don’t get to go with him. Kim calls back the number that just called
El, gets hotel reception, and begins to doubt that El was out all night on a
police operation. She suspects he was instead with that “resbalosa” C-Tina. She calls
Morales, and he’s not quick enough to confirm that he and El were together on
an operation the night before. Kim looks like she might be considering other
options for that nail file.

Qué Pobres, Wednesday 6/18 (#117):
Hey everybody - I might not finish this this morning, because I have to go to the eye doctor and I've been finding it hard to follow the show without glasses (my last pair of contact lenses got too gross to wear yesterday and I threw them out).
But here's what I've got so far:
But here's what I've got so far:
Saul tells Mike he and the hip barrio lawyer have ascertained there is good proof of Alejo's dastardly money dealings on the USB from Minerva, and there are probably proofs that will acquit Mike. He tells Lupe and they're happy, but he says he'll probably have to go to the capital and give himself up in order that the law take its course - but would she go out with him next day? Romanticismo. She wants him to learn to whistle. He tries out his barrio slang on her.
Diego and Leo invite Ana Sofia to a nice dinner with them, and Diego pays with real folding green, but after he and Leo leave Ana stuffs the dough in her bra and orders another drink. That makes me cringe, as well as the way that she refuses to acknowledge Diego's presence, much less thank him. She just refers to him as "the frutero's son"
Tizoc comes in second in the singing competition, with a song about his light-skinned fresa with her "airs of grandiosity" and she is delighted (and later crawls into his tent with him). Loud smacking smooches can be heard.
Next morning, naturally Ana Sofia is hung over. Don Chuy says she should go swimming. The huge pile of Menchacas and Ruizpalacios say yes when Diego asks "can a refugee join you?" Also there is some random dude hoisting a dumbbell in the background. Looks a little goofy. Aww, Mike pulls Leo aside and tells him how proud he is of him for following his heart.
Then they all go to the hotel and the guy at the front won't let them in. AS tries to bully her way in with how wonderful and mediterranean and white she is, and the guy agrees to let in a few of them. Then Lupe speaks up about how that's racism and everyone leaves together.
As usual I can't understand banana king's flunky when he talks in idioms.
--continued--
Minerva drops a bomb on Alejo, coming to his office and telling him that Mike is Lupita's boyfriend. *gasp*! I don't know why, but I kind of thought he already knew. Anyway, muy impactado!
Guendy calls Lupita and warns her that the police are zeroing in on Mike! Lupita in turn runs to the Menchacas hunting for Mike. Meanwhile, he is setting up a surprise romantic meal for her by the beach. I am amused by the candlesticks he's fashioned out of upside-down plastic cups. He can't get the candles lit. It's quite nice, but as soon as they kiss the cops show up and take him away!!!
The Menchacas+ have found a place to serve them lunch by the beach. Tizoc's fresa girlfriend seems to at least have recognized that racism/colorism was at play, and then Leo pays the bill which makes everyone very happy!
Ana Sofia looks on with revulsion from a la-z-boy in the sand as Leo and the girl yuk it up and have fun with the Menchacas! This is the theme.
Everyone seems weirdly proud of Leo and Tizoc for riding an inflated tube of some sort. Oh wait, it's a competition, who can stay on top longer. Ana Sofia wagers money she doesn't have on who will win, but she gets the money anyway.

José-Luis tells María he's not going to fall for her usual tricks, but she insists she isn't messing with him this time and wonders whether J-L is curious to know with whom his wife is at that very moment. J-L asks if it's who he thinks. María tells him to go and see for himself but advises him to hurry up before he misses the chance. He takes a gun and heads out.

De Que Te Quiero, Te Quiero #97- Wed 6/18
De que aceptó el trato, aceptó el trato
Diego wants to go in to see Natalia, but Alberto tells him to back off…as lawyer, Alberto's the one she needs right now. Plus, Nat's pissed at him, sooo….
Vicente accuses Irene of going "against" the family because of her anger. Irene says it's not about taking sides, it's about justice. Plus, he can't be changing his mind every five minutes about whether Irene is "a Cacares" or not. Vicente tells Irene that he made Natalia an offer.
Natalia doesn't want to take Vicente's offer, which she tells Alberto about. He can tell they planned this out. Now that Nat knows that Rodrigo is locked up, she's really not going to take it back.
Vicente spins his deal as good for everyone, but Irene is horrified. "You know I'm capable of anything for my family!" Yeah, dude, she knows. You did it to her, too. Irene bursts his bubble--Diego already knows how Rodrigo ended up in a coma. Vicente threatens to disinherit Diego, because he missed the memo that the only one of his kids or grandkids that threat will work on is Rodrigo.
Alberto says there's practically no way to prove that Rod attacked Natalia. He never carried out the rape and she never reported it. If she gets Andres to show up and testify, he'll be arrested, too. She can't get out on bail. And since Rodrigo turned himself in and is trying to claim he's crazy…that's not helping either. And Irma has disappeared. Alberto actually advises Natalia to take Vicente's deal.

Lo Que La Vida Me Robo, capitulo 155. 06/17/14. Sandro checks out, JL checks into Crazyville.
Skipping the old and heading right into the new...
Esme congratulates Montse on her pregnancy. Esme threatens to be upset if Montse doesn't turn into a butterball. She asks if JL is happy about the news. Montse confides that things are not well between JL and her. Before finding out about the pregnancy, she was going to leave him. She found out that he lied to her. He knew before marrying her that Ale was in a coma and didn’t tell her. Esme asks if Ale is still in a coma.
BSC JL tells Dim that he owes him loyalty. He almost destroyed his life and is now indebted to him. JL takes his letter opener and pokes Dim in the shoulder and demands him to spill the frijoles if he knows anything about Ale and his whereabouts. Dim tells JL to get the letter opener off him. They are friends but he ain't got to do nothing. Dim turns to Refugio in disbelief and with his eyes says that he has definitely lost his marbles. JL goes on a rant and says that Montse vowed at the alter to be faithful (well, she broke that vow sugar foot). Do you know what that means? I won't tolerate lies. Dim keeps turning to Refugio in disbelief.

De Que Te Quiero, Te Quiero #96- Tue 6/17
De que está tras las rejas, está tras las rejas.
Carmen is upset that Natalia told Irene about Tuxpan. She assumes Irene will end up taking Rod's side and now she has more ammo.
El leaves Morales to wait for some important papers while he takes Cunchetina to lunch. Morales' mom calls because she locked herself out of the house…and now he has a dilemma.
Gino keeps thinking about the anonymous love email, checking out the chicks in the bowling alley, and wondering which one of them sent it.
Morales gets his buddy to wait for the papers while he goes to unlock the door for his mom. Kimberly shows up and he tells her El is at La Hortaliza.
Irene shows up at Alonso's apartment. She's not surprised that Grumps is on Rodrigo's side. She agrees that Diego needs to press charges and Alonso suggests they check with El.
El can't help being enchanted by Cunchetina. He thinks Gino's an idiot to care about a few extra pounds. She asks about his personal life and Kimberly gets to hear him saying he's on the verge of breaking up with someone. Alonso calls El to summon him to a meeting at his place.

Que Pobres Tan Ricos: Ana Sofia goes tippling, Diego comes wooing, Tizoc takes a shower.
- AS is boozing with her pooch. How is she going to pay for all these exotic martinis? The barkeep says, pay up. "You don't trust a woman of such distinction?" She passes him an expired credit card ("I hope the bank is as slow as always") and by the time the waiter is shouting, she has staggered off.
She staggers into a luxury hotel. She orders a tamarind martini. The bouncer ejects her for refusing to give her room number. ("But you have a perverted face, I can't risk giving you my room number, you'd attack me in my room.")

De Que Te Quiero, Te Quiero #95- Mon 6/16
De que todavía anda suelto, todavía anda suelto.
Lupita calls Cunchetina to tell her about the website for the bowling alley. She advises Cunchetina to send Gino anonymous love emails. Cunchetina is thrilled to have such a diabolical pint-sized ally.
Nat convinces Carmen to go to work and promises she won't go down to Caprico to quit until Carmen gets back.
Grumps spins his BS story for the lawyer, who doesn't think burying Nat is going to be easy. The lawyer asks why Rodrigo didn't just turn Natalia in and married her, when he knew all along she was the one who was responsible for putting him in a coma. Grumps says that's not his concern and money is no object. The lawyer promises Rod will get off completely.
Diego, looking like utter crap, shows up at Natalia's. He invokes instant soup and the conch shell and she knows it's him. I suggest they establish a password. Nat sits him down on the couch, where he struggles to keep his eyes open as he asks QTH happened to them. He remembers the accident in the taxi after Monterrey and after that it was all drugs and voices.
Cecilia, Noemi's substitute nurse, gets the embarrassing duty of explaining to Alonso that Diego pulled a runner. Alonso tries the house, but Lala says he's not there. Alonso is worried Diego will run into Rodrigo and the shizz will really hit the fan.

Qué Pobres, Lunes 6/16/14 (#115): Water, Water, Everywhere
How many people tuned in at the usual time last night, waited five minutes, and then tuned out thinking there wouldn't be an episode? We started more than 8 minutes late. I don't know why.
Acapulco. Night. Carmelita's snoring wakes up everyone in the bus. Lupe and Miguel Angel (MA) go outside to chat. It's a full moon, of course, even if there's only a half-moon anywhere else, because couples like Lupe and MA get a full moon every night! MA talks about el mar. (Can it, Aldo! This is at least the SECOND TN in which Jaime Camil has evoked the memory of his romantic rival from LFMB.) Lupe teases him for wearing sandals with socks.
MA tells Lupe that Mini did, in fact, try to seduce him, but he didn't let her. Lupe asks if Mini's attempts reminded him of happier times. MA says he didn't feel anything at all. Mini is the past, and Lupe is the present. She's the only woman he wants to spend the rest of his life with, and he hope it's a long life.
Inland, Vilma regards some of the "evidence" Alejo has gathered at the Menchaca home (I think there's a toy from Emiliano) and says that none of this, not even the polo mallet, is enough to prove that MA and Mati have been there (to get the police to come here and find Mati and MA). They pretty much need to catch the Menchacas red-handed. For all they know, Emi could have taken or borrowed the polo mallet. Of course this only annoys Ahole...

Chapter
154: Where Jealousy Rules
Valverde
House: Alejandro and Monserrat returned and all was not well.
Alejandro told his family they weren't going anywhere. Monserrat
told Rosario they were returning home, which meant they were
returning to the Álvarez house. Lauro asked his father when he
would see him again and he told him “soon.” Carlota offered to
accompany her niece home, but she declined the offer. She tried to
conceal her tears, but it wasn't possible. She thanked Josefina,
gave Alejandro a disappointed look, got a stubborn one back, and
departed with his mother and his son. They were barely out the door
when Alejandro went upstairs, his jaw set in stone. Victor and
Macario followed him, leaving Carlota, Dominga, and Josefina to
wonder what had happened.

Lo Que La Vida Me Robo #153: 6/13/14: It's All About Them, Ale And JL That Is!
Ahoy Amguis. It's been so dark and cloudy here on the Patio of Disillusionment hasn't it? Now a fog seems to be moving in, with respect to some of these character's brains, that is. Someone asked last week where all the levity had gone. This TN has been short of that hasn't it? I have thought of levity all week and have come up with the perfect solution. I have found an earworm that will be like Calgon and take all your troubles away. It's rather longish, but well worth it. Please take a gander and a listen. Lovely Song
I am skipping the old and getting right to the new.
Sandho (Sandro) catches BM (Maria) sneaking into the chapel and follows her. He sees exactly where she has hidden that will of Ale's. He purposely runs into her outside and asks what she was doing in the chapel. Looking for EZ she tells him, and he asks again if she would like to accept his proposal, um, nopis from her. She warns Sandho that if he keeps bothering her, Addled will kill him.

Weekend Discussion: The Narcissism Epidemic
Narcissism is one of the most common mental disorders of telenovela villains. Many people have a very simplistic definition of it: Muhammad Ali. His "I am the greatest" is how many people see narcissism. The sad truth is that it's far more complex than that.
Narcissists see themselves as the center of the universe. Everyone else exists for their purposes and once they cease to satisfy them, they either become evil or non-existent. They are incapable of dealing with their own faults and assign them to others as a way of ridding themselves of them. In extreme form they can be diagnosed with Narcissistic Personality Disorder.

Chuy changes subject back to wanting MA gone, everyone bickers again.

De Que Te Quiero Te Quiero #94/94 6/13/14
De que dura sola una hora, dura sola una hora!!!
Lo Refrito
- Gino hates the website.
- Rod and Vicente (Grumps) have their reunion.
- Diego ugly cries and finds out Nat married Rod thinking it was Diego.
Lo Nuevo
Diego is beside himself with grief and wants to know why Alonso didn't stop the wedding or do something. Alonso is a terrible friend. Diego gets agitated and has to be restrained and sedated.
Grumps thinks what Rod did to his brother was terrible. What was he thinking trying to kill him? Rod gives Grumps his BS side of the story. It's Diego's fault he was in the coma! Diego had set his sights on a pueblerina and Rod decided to have a little fun and switch places with Diego. At the party she dragged him away and the next thing he knew a guy showed up and beat him. He woke up two years later to find out Diego had set him up and was engaged to the girl that saw him getting beat up and did nothing! Diego sent the dude to beat me up and the Pueblerina was none other than Natalia Garcia!
Al tries to convince the nurse that Diego is not a violent guy. It was just a crisis. When he wakes up he'll be better able to understand what's going on...at least Alonso hopes so.
Grumps really can't believe Diego is capable of doing such a thing. He really suffered while Rod was in the coma. He fought the hardest against against pulling the plug. Rod doesn't believe it. He's convinced Diego sent the guy to beat him up and he hates Diego. Rod wants BOTH Diego and Nat to suffer.

Lo Que La Vida Me Robo 152 - 13 May, 2014 - As The Plot Thins, Maria’s Indecent Proposals Are Given Due Consideration
Honest. If there was any scoop to give you tonight about Aguazul I would. Withholding information would only irritate you, fair reader, and, by being chintzy with the facts I could easily work my way out of a job. Not that recapping pays much, but there it is. We’ve all got to have a reason to get up in the morning.
The town of Aguazul, Campeche State, MX, was as quiet as Bethlehem before the ‘Silent Night’. And, the plot of Robo is moving as slow as honey dripping down the side of a comb.
So, in the interest of interest, yours, that is, let’s take a look at the slow goings on in Bluewater, character by character, instead of following the action geographically. Let’s go alphabetically, just to keep things straight. You can always skip the characters you don’t want to know about.
Adolfo
Tonight Adolfo quietly makes his way about town. He meets up with Maria and decides to give her a house. You know, for all the good times. Like when he put a gun to her head and pulled the trigger but it was loaded with blanks. Fun times, huh? He meets up with Maria at her new house and is unable to resist her indecent proposal. “Let’s just do one for the road”. So they rock and roll in the empty new house and he hands her a wad of cash after; she needs some money to furnish the place. After all, how can she entertain Alejandro in style on a bare stone floor?
Later, Adolfo meets up with his brother-in-law the Governor, Pedro Medina. Now that guy, Pedro, is a real whack job. After watching the last couple of shows I think he has begun to believe his own publicity. And when he starts to drink his own Kool-Aid, all hell is going to break loose. You heard it here first. I, for one, will be happy to be here Stateside, watching the action on a very long Televisa/Univision lens. Televisa ought to pay those camera guys double the union scale to work on THAT job.
Adolfo stays cool while that ‘dumb’ EZ Basurto provokes the hell out of Pedro. Dumb, you say? Yea, he’s as dumb as a fox. Basurto. Basurto tells Little Pepe that it is time Pedro took care of some business up north, personally, as in ‘on the ground’. Pedro, who has always kept his mani/pedi clear of the muck, was one flustered customer. Adolfo backed EZ up in his little tease of Pedro; of course, he has his own reasons for wanting Pedro away and over the Campeche State frontier.

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.
