talking about ugly Betty,. do u guys think that now all the attention has turned to Salma instead of Betty???

Yes and that is the reason why it's majorly sucking now. She's such an attention whore.

BTW, yes, it's me, K, not MM. :P

ETA: I'm watching UB now and I have to say... what a crappy actress she is! And what about the continuity? She was in that novela within the novela. Boo boo boo!! She should have stuck to that - all those characters are supposed to be lousy actors, she would have been in her element.

You know... mashed palta (SPANISH for avocado) = guacamole

Well I really liked it. I watched some episodes of Yo soy Betty, la fea in Mexico, only because it was on on Saturdays and my roomies and I didn't have cable. I thought it was ok. I can really see myself getting more into this one because I can relate to it better. I hope they change the time slot though.

GENIE · Foro Master

I think the reason most of you dont like it is because you are thinking that they are gonna make it like BETTY LA FEA they are not its a different concept a different country and a differnt language!! Take it for what it is its a comedy based on an Ugly Latin girls job a at a popular AMERICAN MAGAZINE!!!!

Mastropiero · Guru

Nope, that was las Juanas, Perro amor was just before Betty la Fea, and "Betty" was there in the opposite role the hot clueless and yet completely naive girl and Hugo Lombardi was "El Perro"....It was politically incorrect, very sarcastic and satiric...

Perro Amor

Marky Mark · Foro Master

I watched it... it was cute like Buffy said.

The best line was "It's the Rosario version of Sex and the City"

Is Perro amor the one with Juana Valentina? I saw a couple of episodes (but SIL refused to tape that one for me... ) 'Cause if it is, it did look funny.

Let me know if you find out about the DVDs. Thanks!

There's a place in st. clair that sells spanish soaps, I think confu works or knows this place.

Anyhow they had for sale Rubi for like $40.00 bucks or so. I'm sure they can probably get it for you if they dont have in stock.

I also want to get Betty la Fea & Rubi, love both of these soaps.

Given the choice, I'd get Betty & Las Juanas, my favourite soap operas ever (that doesn't include the brazilian soaps I used to watch back home, which are the bestestest of the best, IMHO)

Well last time I was thre they had Rubi, Juanas that i can remember of & of course other ones.

Brazilian: favorite one "Dona Bella"

Anyone else seen this soap??

I watched the original Betty La Fea too. It was pretty funny, It was a big success in Colombia mainly because the characters were so spontaneous and realistic, and discrimination on looks it's a big reality there, plus most of people can't afford cable so they have maybe 4 or 5 channels.

I watched half of the episode last night, to tell you the true, my expectations were lower so it was ok (although this Betty doesn't seem to have the charisma of Ana M. Dominguez and the guy designer will be hardly as funny as Hugo Lombardi) but I'm gonna wait a few more episodes to give my veredict.

B.T.W. Right now there's another good Colombian Soap Opera called "Sin Tetas no hay Paraiso" and it supposed to be even better.

sorry for the question but ... what's a dart??

I never watch the spanish soap but did read the book the devil wears prada and i though it was a similar idea to the movie.

I thought the show was good, i especially like the big Guadalajara poncho they put in there..

However... I thought it was well-adapted to the anglo world. I love it that Betty is so latina, and they show it like it is. I looooooooove how they included the little gay kid. I've never seen that on TV, actually. The only thing I'm not so sure about is that the "bad people" are very Spy Kiddish. It reminded me of the witch in 101 Dalmatians. I don't know if whiteys will get into it. I hope it continues.

What did you guys think?
