Three or four girls got pied...two of them pretty nicely, one of them very nicely. More bad news...the game losing punishment (inflicted on Token) was an ice water bucket, not the pie barrage as in the past.

But the big news...we had introduced amidst much fanfare, a Token woman! Gorgeous African-Brazilian with a huge Afro and a smokin hot red dress...she evaded mess both times she was called upon...but it was nice to see a hot woman of color.

Ah, I'm glad someone's keeping up with this still! I get this sinking feeling the show will quietly revert back to frequent pies 3 months from now and none of us will notice.

Someone mentioned that the final punishment was an ice bucket a week ago, so that's apparently another (bad) permanent change. Glad to see a female Token, although at this point new faces are more frustrating than anything. (Because it may be weeks, months, or NEVER before they get even one decent pieing.)

I watched some of my old comps the other night. Specifically the CM shows from early this year (before it got "cancelled" and before it became the Curly pie-fest). Man, it breaks my heart. The amount of female mess is astounding. Basically every single girl has pie residue on her by the end, and the pies are still big and sticky with plenty of aftermath.

It appeared to me that more pie plates were hidden in the balloons. They even hid pie plates in the balloons filled with water. This was a first. Perhaps they're finally understanding that 45 minutes of confetti and powder filled balloons is terminally boring.

CM is not dead yet. It has a faint pulse. Maybe 80 over 40.

CU...I noticed that too...probably not good luck for us but by design there were more pie plates. Also seemed to be more water balloons than powder...it was a pretty good episode for the balloon-centric era.

Pies and water do not mix well.

But it's better than just water so I'll take it.

It only took CM a year and a half to hire a woman that appears to be a Brazilian of African descent.

All their female models appear to be of European descent.

I can't help but think it's a sign of desperation from a show that's out of ideas and doesn't know what to do next.

We shall see. But at least the show soldiers on. I was getting excited when the second girl got the powder balloon with a pie plate. Then the dorks gave her the weakest ass pie...it would have been great because she was showing the reluctant attitude and looking sad even following a pie that covered less than half her face. Another "could have been" frustrating moment. There were a couple really good pies however...as you say, something is better than noting
