Barbara was the women's captain. The women were getting pummeled. With 10 minutes remaining in the program it appeared a certainty that Barbara would get the pie finale. The women staged a massive comeback and won on the last question. The men's captain got the pies. The ending couldn't have been any worse.
Watched the show on the site. Not total garbage, just... Blah. Honestly, the pies suck and the effort is lacking.
Only 2 real hits during the actual game, one decent. They went back to the pie round with the captain pieing the girls at the podium. Problem is, hits were too gentle and camera work was crappy. So very little of value, even though like 5 or 6 girls got pied.
Barb won, but the male captain got the weakest pieing of any male loser ever, so no big loss either way. I guarantee her pieing would've sucked too with the new formula. Apparently Dani is the only one that's gonna really get clobbered this season.

I was only giving a brief description of the heartbreaking ending.
The episode was poor, primarily, due to the dry pies. If the pies were gooey the episode would've been decent.
It's a terrible waste because it looks like they have a crop of girls who are willing to get messy.
The pie + water punishment is starting to irritate me too. Water ensures that the pie won't stick. And if you throw the pie first the water washes it away. They need to introduce something new like a bucket of slime (real slime, not colored water) to the punishment menu.
It looks like they've settled (at least for now) on having the pie finale at the podium. I prefer the contestants taking pies on the chair in the middle of the studio. It's more dramatic and you get a significantly better view.
Hopefully they'll be able to produce an episode soon where all of these issues are ironed out.
I agree with SS. If the men had won it's highly unlikely that Barbara would've received more than 2 or 3 very polite pies. So perhaps not that much was lost.
I note how quickly Barbara was there at the model's side with cloth to wipe her face, smiling all the while...kind of an odd thing for the producers to permit...
Love you, too
