Given the new balloon-centric nature of the game, there were actually a couple good moments last night, IMO. As you stated, the camerawork left a lot to be desired, but the attack of the chick captain at the end was still very good. She is smokin hot and she took four or five pies...wish there had been more aftermath but still.
I was wondering if we'd finally reached the point where CM wasn't even worth recapping. Guess we haven't hit rock bottom yet.
I should've guessed the female captain lost... since the IG feed, which ALWAYS shows the losing captain getting pied, instead went with... some shitty montage of one of their himbos talking about how much the cast of CM means to him. (I'm guessing. All this fake heartwarming crap is the same, regardless of language.) Given that the show isn't always grossly unfair, they SURE do like to bury it when they actually pie females. But they'll promote the hell out of guys getting plastered.
Anyway. Most of the captain pieings have been mediocre in terms of camerawork/aftermath since they made the decision to switch it from "slow, deliberate, multiple pieings" to "random free-for-all" at the end. Add in the fact that the women usually fight it (hiding their face from the camera, swinging hair, etc.) and it's amazing you can see anything. Both Julias getting captain pied were mostly worthless for their reason. (Although back then the pie round was running 45+ minutes, so there was enough goodness in the rest of the show to not matter.)
Last week, with the camera lingering lovingly over the sight of an emasculated Curly getting destroyed with pies by his own teammates, was clearly an exception. Probably because Curly slipped the cameraman a $20 to ensure they caught every moment of young boy toys gleefully pieing him... I assume for his own personal archive.
Love you, too
