...Except it's always been its own segment? I mean, they put the word "Torta" behind the balloon bit, but the balloon questions are one thing... The pies come later. And they don't ever mix.
I fear that giving the segment its own name just means it's gonna waste even MORE time (if that's possible). Hopefully I'm wrong tho.
Also, the new promo might be the first one in CM history (including the old show) with no mess of ANY kind shown. These guys REALLY don't know which side their bread is buttered.....

I've always found it amusing that my videos get more views each week than the official ones do.
Unfortunately, it's normal for these types of variety shows in Latin/South America to completely change their format after awhile (Combate, Esta G, etc). I'm surprised they stuck with it this long. Domingo Legal was an anomaly, which is probably why the host got so mad he couldn't change it.
At least we still got the buckets game from EEG Panama...oh wait never mind that appears to be the only game already retired so far is the shows short history. The messes on that show are a little on the safe side now. (Water from above, pies are face only, maybe an exploding balloon from time to time, and a shake to the chest). It's sad when the eggs are the best thing going.
Between the promo and that "5 best pies" pic, no way this week isn't anything but awful.
I mean, of the 2 female pies that were the "best," one is Ana... who hasn't taken a great pie in 8 months.
As always with CM, it'll either get worse... or it'll get better... or it'll get cancelled. (And possibly start up again with a slightly different name.)
I think this is probably the last time I watch it live until they get their shit together. I imagine when people stop watching, they'll figure out they fucked up.

I was a young man when the balloons started. Now I'm using a walker.
ABGamma said: Well, this is the end of CM. No pie segment at all. It was fun while it lasted. We got a few hundred good clips from it, but that'll be it.
It's obvious that CM is trying to determine how far they can stray from their dependency on the pie segment.
I don't think they're going to go to zero pies anytime soon.
However, from this point forward we can never be certain that any week will have quality or quantity pie-ings.

Not only that, but in my opinion, the average hotness of the women is declining, too.
If they whittle the pie segment down to practically nothing you'll see all the women who left the show return (Barbara, Sabrina, Ana Luisa etc.). Not that it'll matter anymore.
Like I said earlier, every variety show like that does a format change, where they no longer do the pie segments. It was good while it lasted. Hopefully a new show with pies will come along now.
Haha... Was there really no pie segment? Or was it just short and shitty??
On their IG some dude is getting pied. I feel like that's the logical end for CM... Play a God-awful balloon game for an hour, then pie the hell out of some idiot guy.
So a year ago, we had CM and DL operating at full strength. Another Sunday Domingo show had a pie segment. EEG was still doing occasional stuff... As was BLN and *maybe* Combate. Since that point, the last three have pretty much eliminated what little pie and mess games they had (for women anyway)... The other Sunday show killed pies... DL killed the PoR completely... And now CM. I don't think the trend is for a new pie show to appear. Seems like the trend is for every single current one to die off.
I'm still (slightly) optimistic. This show seems to fluctuate. It always turns to absolute shite before picking up again. However, I don't think I've ever seen it sink this low. A lengthy segment for Balloons? Really...?
One thing that hasn't been mentioned- how has the host STILL not been pied at any point? She's been presenting this show in a studio *full* of pies on a weekly basis for over a year now. Surely, even as just a joke, someone should of thrown a pie in her face by now?
To borrow a quote about the weather in the South: "If you don't like the current format of CM, wait an hour."
I mean, this show's had tons of stupid games. "Pie" rounds that are half balloons. Pie rounds so rigged it's a wonder any females got messy at all. And barely a month ago... Pie rounds running close to an hour. It's also had cast members "quit"... and come back later... and quit again. It's been cancelled once... and then resurrected with a different name and a (barely) different format. The only consistent thing about this show is its inconsistency.
In other words... Short-term, this is bad news. Long-term, who knows? Seems a bit silly to nearly eliminate pies mere weeks after going "all in," but either the cast griped to the producers, or the producers don't want to be a one-trick pony. But I guarantee if the ratings suffer and there's a social media backlash, they'll bring back the long pie rounds in a heartbeat. (Or they won't. WTF knows.)
The only "standard" in this show has been a love of brain-dead idiot boys as "comic relief"... and a female host who will never get the slightest bit messy. Beyond those two absolutes, anything is possible.
Also, there's a much better chance of CM getting good eventually than another decent pie show suddenly appearing in Brazil.
Also, I had amazing sales in the hours immediately following the shitshow that was CM, so there's a silver lining to this. (For me.)
