It's hard not to rate this episode as excellent.

Karla Lais Bonfa is a true MVP who doesn't seem to get enough love or respect.

For whatever reason, the men don't have an issue with pieing the shit out of her, kind of like Danielle. That's a big plus

She seems reasonably okay with being destroyed with pies time to time. That's a big plus.

She's not Barbara-levels of good at wiping (or not) but she's not terrible at it, never just managed to clean off everything with a single swipe or anything.

Really the biggest knock I can think against her is that she doesn't strike as particularly "having it coming" and there have been times after she's been destroyed where I kind of felt sorry for her, almost. That's about as minor a quibble as one can find when it comes to WAMming.

The biggest "counterpoint" is that there was a month period where the show seemed to set her up as a "rival" against CurlyFuck.
Which, in the world of CM, meant that Curly got obliterated with pies, and Karla would end the show 100% clean. It culminated in the final episode of the old CM, where Curly got pied by Karla, then Karla again, then his own teammates, then Karla AGAIN, then there was a whole "guys are gonna surround Karla with pies to make it seem like they'll finally get Curly revenge"....

...And then they just pied the shit out of him again.

Don't get me wrong. The main takeaway was that Curly was the worst male specimen on a show riddled with idiots. (And God bless CM for sending him to Siberia... I mean, the "Be A Model" bus...) But it made Karla come off looking like a bigger diva than Barb, regardless of how little she had to do with the whole terrible affair. And then her basically staying pie free for most of her initial appearances on CM2.0 made me think she was getting a "free pass" now.

Fortunately, she's been making up for it the last few times, and this week--as I mentioned on Sunday--she went above and beyond. Even if all of them weren't great, six separate pieings is easily a new female record, and it's not even close.

I assume that Curly/Kotter/Screech will return to the program when the modeling contest wraps up or perhaps sooner.

CM2 always tries to keep one or two men in the rotation who are "comic elements".

We're going to have to tolerate the likes of Ugly Bieber 2, Curly, Motorbike or the idiot twins if this show is to remain on the air.

It's a definite plus that CM2 has introduced many new women to the mix.

What they really need, however, is a new nasty girl to pinch hit for the ever absent Barbara.

There ain't nothing better than long-sought pie revenge against a mean girl who has it coming.

New promo on youtube, I won't link it from here for obvious reasons.

Renata Guerra looks to be back, which I think is a boon. She took a just brutal pieing the previous time she'd been on.

Some girl in black is being multi-pied but is ducking somewhat. Not sure if it's the pie attack with the woman team losing, again, or just a regular pieing done more viciously. Looks like the game ender and not super great by those standards (ducking ruins it somewhat)

There is a male guy with glasses. Good sign. Glasses = smart.

The girl ducking appears to be Ana Carolina. Not one of my favorites.

Veronica Losada (short hair) is my new favorite. She's very attractive and has fantastic reactions to everything.

Not worried about Ana dodging the pies on the end. The problem I have with end pie is typically they cut to the next show milliseconds after the pieing is done. So if a lady got it good, we'll complain of no aftermath. If the game goes an hour, and Ana is not playing, and the ladies lose, we should have another solid week.

Like I said before, Gio is my new queen. She never seems mad about being pied, she leaves her hair down, she kinda smiles while being pied, making no attempt whatsoever to make the person pieing her stop. And she's got a hot body and nice legs.

I like when they have an extra minute at the end of the program.

You get to see who leaves the stage quickly and who stays and goofs around.

Gio seems to enjoy getting hit with pies. We'll see if that changes after she's taken 20 of them.

Did I mention that she has really big boobies? Probably the biggest on the show.

Suddenly, my eyes are fully open to the magnifence that is Karla. What a delight she is. Hope she's (losing) captain next episode - Ana Luisa would be the motherlode, but looking highly unlikely.

Now that they've solidified the format, I'd actually prefer Karla to be a contestant rather than captain, if they keep "using" her at the end. The captains being able to "select" who gets the pie when they miss questions at the end is what allowed Karla to get six (!!) pies last show. And Paloma got four the week before that. There's suddenly much more potential for a couple of females to get well-pied, especially towards the end.

Now if the guys destroyed Karla like the girls destroyed Himbo #5 this week? That'd be awesome. But more likely you get a clean Karla the entire show, and then maybe 5 seconds of some multiple pies with little aftermath (like the Dani pieing). I'd rather have her getting pied throughout, honestly.

The only week where the captain really got it worse than anyone else was Week #1, with Ugly Bieber. Barb was the only clean one and chose that week to exit the show (shocker!). I assume she'll come back once the pie game gets cut back to 15 minutes again.

thanks for the edits! Very good episode!

I was wrong. The ducking girl appears to be Julia Schiavi, not Ana Carolina.

I'm conflicted about the towels. I like being able to see their hair all messed up and disheveled so in that sense they're a bit of a buzzkill. But on the other hand, it seemed to inspire the guys to go after the hair with a vengeance. So there is that. Overall the show is still a Godsend for fans of hair wam.

I've been looking at Barbara's body of work again - because, y'know, why the hell not? - and in her defence, she's been pied quite a lot...and I'm not altogether convinced she doesn't enjoy it!
