Thankfully, Maria Conchita basically says shut the f**k up; they've never seen her angry in the show and it's about time they see it, because she's angry with them. I bet she's a little spitfire when she's seriously pissed off, so I'm kind of hoping that Jenn and Berto ignore her, but sadly they turn and walk out of the room.
Don't make me knock your f**king heads together.
Berto's adrenalin is still pumping when he starts ranting at the camera that it's a break through role and he doesn't want to go back to bartending in New York, and beside he's worked harder than Jenn and deserves to win. Jenn tells the camera that she didn't wait for the duel to bring it, she's brought it since day one. Roseny interviews her support for Jenn, while Vinci interviews his support for Berto.
Meanwhile, Carlos and Maria confer. They really like Jenn, she's a great actor, but she couldn't stand up to Berto in the duel. And, while Berto was under the radar in the house the whole time, he really brought it tonight. They decide that whoever wins, it is meant to be and they toast to the winner. Just once, I would like to be the one toasting with Carlos. Sigh. Then we go to break and I'm going to grab some chips...
After break, our disembodied narrator tells us that the moment of truth has arrived and Berto and Jenn return for their final judgment, each taking a place behind a stand holding a gold box. Maria tells Berto that he failed to capture the spotlight in the house until tonight. And, while he is a fine actor with great promise, the question she has to ask herself is, if Berto can be a star. While Jenn is a fighter and a survivor with a strong personality that has shown above all others, the judges wonder if she has the range required to be a telenovela star.
Then we get a montage of past Masacara de Mascara scenes. Sadly, we are not going to get one for the grand finale. Instead, the outcome is in the mysterious gold boxes on the stands in front of them. The losing chico's box will contain the death card and the winner's box will contain the mask. Maria Conchita instructs Jenn and Berto to open their boxes and amazingly we don't go to a break. Instead, we see that Jenn's box has the death card, while Berto's box has the mask. Both Jenn and Berto stay where they are and start to cry, while confetti, balloons and the other contestants rain down on them. Roseny rushes to comfort Jenn, while Vinci dances for Berto. Then Maria Conchita hugs and smooches Berto and a giant check gets carried in.
If that's Berto's mama, ain't nobody getting laid tonight.
And then,Berto gives us all the finger:
And now as we end this season, I'd like to send shouts out to Enrique for being the good sport of the year.
Us recappers can always use a little love.
As for the rest of you chicos, thanks for hanging in there and I'll see you at the next train wreck.
Hugs,
Yenta

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

Is that person in the picture a drag queen? Seriously, is that a woman or a man or a shman??

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.
