It's like going to Del Frisco's and getting an excellent 12 oz. steak for a few months... Then one day you order the same thing and you get a 1 oz. steak instead.
That one ounce is still great steak... But if you'd gotten used to the 12 oz. portion you're bound to be disappointed.

Have you watched the full episodes or only the edited versions that show just the women being messed?
Here's why we complain.
Episode (August 2): 6 men pied, 1 woman pied
Episode (August 9): 6 men pied, 1 woman pied
Episode (August 16): 6 men pied, 3 women pied
Episode (August 23): 6 men pied, 3 women pied
Episode (August 30): 8 men pied, 2 women pied
August Totals: 32 men pied, 10 women pied
---------
Additionally, most of the pie-ings of the women were very gentle (touching the pie to the face and quickly removing it). Several pie-ings were obstructed with cartoon graphics. There were a few very good pie-ings but nothing like the monstrous hits of the June/July episodes.
Cycle through the complete shows and you'll see that the women felt no constraint whatsoever to pie the men aggressively and completely while the men were quite obviously holding back.

It's a lesson in human psychology.
Imagine if you will, that the shows we've seen so far had aired in the reverse order of how they actually aired. These folks that are gnashing their teeth now would no doubt start their complaints at the outset of this reverse season, moaning about the much higher number of men getting pied than women, and maybe about the more vicious pie hits on the men than the women, but they'd write this off as "typical for how pies are used in a mainstream production." Then as the weeks progress and we move into a more even split of male/female pieings, the complainers are starting to get happier. These are great looking women done up very nicely, and six or seven are getting well creamed each week! Finally we end with weeks where three times as many females are getting pied as males, and with extremely messy pies that are often not just slapped in the women's beautiful faces, but rubbed around their whole heads multiple times, making a mess of their hair too. The observers are in ecstasy ... look how wonderful the show has gotten! Look what an incredible fulfillment it's become of everything we've ever wanted from a mainsream show! Wow, it really went out with a bang, didn't it?
The funny thing is, in this scenario, they would've gotten exactly the same number and quality of female pieings as they actually did in real life. And yet they would've moved from disgruntlement to great joy, instead of the other way around. Context, then, plays a massive role in how we tend to perceive our experiences. But if you take a step or two back and try to look at the overall picture, you can see that the show has given us a huge number of great female pieings -- in the span of a few months, in just this one show alone, we've been shown vastly more pie hits on very attractive women than we've seen in all of mainstream American or British TV for probably at least the past decade. Yes, the show was heavy on female pieings early on, and very light on them toward the end. But try to look at the bigger picture and realize that to focus so much energy on what's going "wrong" with the show, to spend so much time moaning and groaning about "how the show could've been SO MUCH BETTER if it had only bowed down and fully honored my fetish" is to engage in an ungrateful, glass-half-empty, selfish-and-grumpy-old-man kind of defeatism.

FYI: This is the guy that makes the Female Only Edits... I'd been wondering where he'd disappeared to, so I'm glad to see he's back and hopefully well-rested from a great vacation.
Chega Mais is great for those of us into male and female-on-male wam, though I hope in the interests of balance it goes back to more of a 50:50 gender mix, then everyone'll be happy.
Here are the July statistics as best as I could count them. (Please see the August statistics above.)
Episode (July 5): 10 men pied, 6 women pied
Episode (July 12): 5 men pied, 7 women pied
Episode (July 19): 5 men pied, 5 women pied
Episode (July 26): 5 men pied, 1 woman pied
July Totals: 25 men pied, 19 women pied
After the July 12th episode the change toward pie-ing men and ballooning women became extremely obvious. No longer were the men going to be allowed to messy the women to the humiliating degree that occurred in June and early July episodes. Nor were the men going to be permitted to have a single episode where they out-pied the women even a modest 2 to 1.
If you count the July 26th episode until today 37 men have been pied versus only 10 women. That's nearly 4 to 1.
Are the women 4x's smarter than the men? 4x's faster than the men?
This ratio is nearly impossible to explain over a long period of time except by the producers actively manipulating the outcome.
Since the conspiracy theory (at least one women has an agreement to no longer be pied) is now fact we can logically assume that this goes a long way towards explaining the lopsided 4 to 1 ratio.
I've found the live feed to Chega Mais for those who'd like to watch but don't live in Brazil. It appears to be working well for me (I live in the U.S.) but please don't ask me to solve any technical/software problems you may have as that's not my expertise. Sorry.
If anyone wants it let me know. I will provide it in this thread. Perhaps others have found this feed too?
The episode starts in about one hour (5:30pm New York time).
However, be forewarned.
Based on the previews tonight's episode looks like only one or two (at most) women get pied while five guys appear to be messed.
The 4 to 1 male to female pie ratio looks like it will hold again tonight. What a frikin' waste!
