It's almost unbelievable how badly this episode is going for us. The women have scored about 10 points straight without missing a single question. It looks like the producers told the men to throw the game.

Edit: Upon watching more of the episode, it just gets worse and worse. The men maybe get 3 questions right in the first forty minutes.

On the bright side, it'll take me 15 minutes to edit.

The camera work is even worse. A medium angle for almost every great pie today. This may be a horrible trend.

Has there at least been any decent pie hits so far?

Every hit has been pretty solid but there's been very few of them, and the guys aren't even trying with the game.

They're completely throwing it. They got half the questions they answered wrong.

The guys are more happy when they mess each other up. This is by far the worst episode of the year. Just a gay male clown pie orgy going on here. And they are not zooming in on the ladies pies. The camera angle is there, they're just using the wide one. Wide for the live pie, close for the replay and the replays have been swift. I'm very worried about this going forward.

The mess didn't end up that bad (Paloma!!) but Jesus Fucking Christ sitting through that live was brutal.

They should invite the models from the show on after CM that stand in the crowd. They are hot.

At least Maria was doing the smurfette thing this week I guess...

I'm gonna say this: that curly haired fellow is nought short of a virus...a pernicious, insidious malignancy that has infected, and may ultimately destroy, its host. He must be stopped.

We had a good run my friends. We flew too high on wings of buttercream.

I posted on a thread yesterday that this episode looked bad. The thread was removed. I don't know why.

I will request (for the third week in a row) a translation from one of our Portuguese speaking friends. What exactly is Curly/Kotter/Horshack/Screech saying that causes him to get hit with a dozen pies at the podium?

After he took the first dozen pies the men stood near Karla with pies in hand. It looked like she would become the target. However, she said something that caused them to fire their pies again at Curly/Kotter/Horshack/Screech. (He took over 20!!!!! pies today.) Then they handed Karla a trophy.

What the (Barbara) heck is going on?

I retroactively accept your apology, and never question my hatred when it is entirely founded.

Just got home (woooooooork suuuuuuuucks) and I think I'm gonna watch someone else's edits this time around. Just sounds too painful to subject myself to even FF'ing past this crap.

Quick question: Were all the pie hits shot poorly? Or ONLY the female ones? Recently they've been good about female closeups and aftermath, even more than the men. If it was across-the-board it might've been a tech issue, a new operator screwing up, or a poor production decision.

So. Who's now ready for the twins to come back?

Yep, I held on to optimism as long as I could, but clearly optimism is for suckers.

FWIW, the Karla thing was an obv setup, it looked like they weren't even holding new pies, just the used tins from Curly's barrage.

My guess on this horrible running gag - he's telling a joke, and if it's a bad joke they pie him. Karla told a good joke, so they pied him.

So... Basically the whole "dance contest" thing at the beginning, which is completely arbitrary so the guy ALWAYS got pied... Wasn't funny/demeaning/insulting enough to the men? (And also didn't take time away from pieing females.)

So this is their new thing to ensure a guy (well, just CurlyFuck) always gets pie barraged every week? Aha. Comedy!

TBH, none of us would be complaining if this was a female getting this treatment. We would (rightfully) be hailing this as the greatest mainstream show in history. Instead, we're getting "Soupy Sales Goes To Brazil." A pity. And while most of those "pies" weren't direct hits, it's still a frustrating stat that CurlyFuck ALONE took double the amount of pies of THE ENTIRE FEMALE TEAM this week. (And I'd bet that he's equaled all the female hits in the last 3 weeks just by himself.)

I find it interesting that some of the IG comments are starting to call out CM for "unfair treatment" this week. I guess it really was that obvious. Then others say, "Well the guys won 4 weeks in a row before this"... Conveniently forgetting that even when the guys "win," they somehow still take more pies than the "losing" females. Unfortunately when they actually LOSE (like this week), the ratio is more like a brutal 4:1.

If the show uses this week as a setup for NEXT week, with the ladies getting clobbered (or even Karla getting a SMALL pie barrage??) then all is forgiven. But if they continue down this path, we might've lost the show for good. Fingers crossed.

Also, I was planning this anyway, but now I'm gonna step up the efforts....

....Yes indeed, a SlapstickStuff "Chega Mais" parody is coming. And I feel 85% confident that it will be the most accurate Chega Mais parody anyone will ever want to attempt. In fact, the most inaccurate thing will be the fact that ONLY the females get the pies.

So basically, Chega Mais if the producers would actually cater to the only audience that really watches this show.

SStuff:

Do you want me to meet Barbara at the airport and drive her over to your place?

Sorry, fella....she's already at mine.

Disclaimer: Of her own volition.

If any of you ACTUALLY convince a CM girl to come to the States.... I will make it worth your while to put us in contact.

True story: I exchanged a few messages with one of the DL girls (not the blonde "Jenny" who does the UFC over there, but a brunette from that same team) as she speaks fluent English AND stays in the U.S. about half the time. It would've been a nice shoot, and yes I would've done a fake DL where ONLY she gets the pies.

Never progressed beyond a few messages tho.

Looks like a low-res week as well, HD got pulled by SME for copyright within two hours.

I'm dreading editing this week's clips...

I think it was up for two minutes. I'm surprised it doesn't get blocked every week. They play a karaoke type game almost every episode.
