Maria asks why Berto deserves to win the competition. Berto says that he played the game by the book all the way through and reminds them that he was never before in a duel, never lost a challenge, and was in control the entire time.
Now it's time for the female caput contestants to ask their questions. Roseny comments that she only knows him as the good guy around La Casa. Berto assures her that he's not a good guy. I like Berto, but he's right he's not a good guy. Roseny asks if he would say that his 'stragedy' was to be the good guy. You know, when she came out with 'stragedy' a few episodes ago, I thought maybe she just misspoke, but by now it's obvious that she doesn't know how to pronounce the word. You've got to wonder why nobody has corrected her on it; especially, if they're going to give her a question to ask about strategy. Somewhere in the background, there's got to be a production assistant laughing his ass off. Meanwhile, Berto is assuring Roseny that she is about to see fire, because he's done with this nice guy 'stragedy' and there's going to be some serious smack-talking going down.
Gisel, barely able to wait for Berto to finish reassuring Roseny that Mr. Nice Guy is caput, jumps in with, "Was flirting with me part of your strategy or did you ever have feelings for me?" Berto pulls out his most sincere look and tells her, "It's not part of the strategy sweetie. I could have voted you out when I had the chance and I didn't." I watch Gisel smile triumphantly and as I feel battle down a wave nausea, I can't help wondering if Berto has lost his mind. All I can figure is that Berto thinks that the dead/eliminated contestants might have some say in the vote and doesn't want to alienate her. Or, he's pretty sure that his girlfriend has long since put his possessions out on the corner and changed the locks. Either way, he's pretty much assuring himself a little psycho nooky for the night. Of course, if Berto wins, he's moving to Miami in easy reach of Gisel, and, you know, after that answer he's never getting rid of her.
The face of a woman who is planning her wedding.
Vinci cuts in on their love fest and asks Berto, "What make you think you a star?" Berto tells Vinci that he has no idea what Berto has suffered to get there and that Berto has a perfect understanding far beyond anyone else in the room of exactly what he needs to do to be an actor. The rest of the lazy ass chicos are not where he is. Then, as Vinci looks down, apparently distracted by the pretty orchid, Berto goes all alpha wolf and commands him to look at him, reiterating that Vinci's not at the same level as Berto. Like the little monster that he is, Vinci proudly chuckles noting that he got Berto mad, which could be cute in a five year old child, but probably not.
Berto and Jenn face each other and Maria Conchita requests Berto to explain to Jenn why she should be killed off and he should be the winner. Berto tells her that he's done a better job than she did; it's been fuller, it's been riskier, its just had a lot more colors than hers. Jenn asks him if he hit his head and forgot that yesterday she brought out the actress and showed versatility up the wazoo; a full f**king range of versatility.
Berto breaks in with an incredulous, "In one day?" Then the duel pretty much disintegrates. Jenn keeps screaming at him, and he keeps repeating, "one color," before telling her that she plays herself because that's what's comfortable and that she's not smart enough to be an actress. In response, Jenn breaks the sound barrier and I'm turning down the volume because her screaming is hurting my ears. Berto says she's not making sense and he can't talk to her like this. Maria Conchita tries to call them to order and Jenn and Berto turn to face the judges still bitching at each other like they are in a high school cafeteria. Jenn proclaims, "I am a great actress." And Berto responds, "In your mind you are." So, it's clear that they're running out of material.
Quick, which chico is sh*tting in their pants.

Nice recapping. I only saw part of one episode - the one where Berto carried his partner in the gay scene - and I thought Berto had a strong chance of winning (even if I didn't care).
Obvioiusly, I didn't consider the show worth my time, but your recaps were.
I vote to double your wages!

fire@will: Thanks for the kind words...Us recappers love us some kind words : )
I'll remember to tell Flipit to double my salary, but, alas, two times nothing is still nothing.
Hugs,
Yenta

Hey Yenta, great recap as usual. I hadn't posted because I can't post from my phone and was having problems with my internet...Anyways, yay! Berto won!!!! Also I was really glad that Gisel was the one who got eliminated and also I think it was kind of pathetic that she would ask that of him in the final "Duelo". Good to see that the two finalists were puertoricans lol though I think that Berto must have a little dominican blood in him. I will miss these recaps but most of all I'll miss... Carlos :( Till the next trainwreck :)

Also, Gisel looks like a tranny.
