For those still paying attention, EEG is still cranking out the pie game 2-3 times a week. And the girls are still not holding back. That's the good news.
The bad news, sadly, is that (as with EVERY SINGLE game of this ilk on any Latin show).... The guys have absolutely taken it over. The participants? 80% guys. The aftermath shots? All guys. The complaining afterwards? All guys. The drama? All guys. The challenges, and multiple hits, and pie sandwiches? You guessed it.... All guys!
I'm hoping this is a temporary shift, but if it's permanent, then we're still getting good content from EEG (I mean, 2-3 times a week...) but a LOT less. For example: The past two days have had long pie games running pie segments, which have resulted in.... 2 female hits, and 3 female hits.
When I saw "eeg update (Good but getting worse..)" I was very concerned because the only time I have seen the abbreviation eeg is for an Electroencephalography (brain scan).
Glad this is just a reference to a game show and not...you know...someone's brain

No - the situation being described here is far more serious than a mere deterioration in brain function. Sub-par Panamanian pie segments are a matter of life and death!

If Rich's EEG is getting worse, I'd like to think I can take some credit!

Actually pieing one's brain is the newest form of WAM. But they have to be sitting in a white chair and wearing an extra tight scrunchy. No hospital gown but rather an inside out sweatshirt with short white socks. And the doctor must be dressed like a clown. I don't think it's going to catch on.
At the risk of getting this back on the topic, the 4-16 show of EEG was MUCH better. It's still not 100% equal (they tend to have twice as many guys participating as women) but the female hits were uniformly good, and the Karen girl got well clobbered twice AND got revenge as well, so that was nice.
I think my favorite of any girl is Luciana.... She goes up against the "drama girl" (the one who complained for 15 minutes in that first show) every single time and (no setup here!) loses EVERY. SINGLE. TIME. And so she basically gets wrecked once per show. It's gonna make for a hell of a supercut eventually!
(Someone like Enigmahood who pays more attention might be able to answer this.... Drama Girl's previous opponent was Latina Jessica Alba, who also lost constantly and seemed REALLY pissed off every time. Since Luciana became the new opponent, Latina Jessica has been MIA. Off the show completely or just refusing to take pies?)

Yes, this was a better showing, but it was clear the guys were going to be the ones to banter and "drama" things up, which is unfortunate, because as much as we almost complained about that in the past, it led to much better scenes (with ample reaction, more pie-duels with multiple pies and such).
Alba? I don't know. She might be taking time off, I haven't seen her around. I doubt it's because she dislikes being pied, or if she does she was somehow able to get out of it -- even the curly girl, who is the breakout star of this series since it's first season, even she can't get out of the pie games and she clearly can not stand it (always the first to put on glasses or for-fucking-real tape over her eyes once).
People come and go all the time, this is her from 4 years back (is it not?)
Hmm, like I said I hope they give the girls equal opportunity time. We'll see. There was some "drama" on 4-16 which resulted in more female pies, so that's good.
The girl at 9 minutes in isn't on the show anymore. Latina Jessica Alba was/is a new one.
The other girl you're talking about ("breakout star" who hates getting pied and wears glasses) is Angie, who HAS been with this show forever and took many great pieings over the years, so I guess I can't fault her for being done with it now. She IS in the clip you linked, but at 4:45 (and giving not receiving).
Also, interesting reminder that the super gooey pies produced good-if-not-better coverage than the current ones.
Ahh, thought it was the same girl (L-Alba and the girl from above). Wonder what happened to her, then, quite a looker in her own right.
but yeah, I am familiar with Angie. While I guess I shouldn't fault a beautiful woman for avoiding mess, something about the years of introducing chin-pies, wearing glasses and otherwise avoiding them so often has hardened my opinion of hers considerably.
At least with the bigger girl Michelle, who has played her fair share of pie-complaining over the years, she a) doesn't appear to have the clout to avoid it and gets pied frequently and b) is a top-notch giver of pies, hitting hard and viciously more often than not.
Btw, I don't have a good source at the moment but I was looking over the Esto es Guerra Panama twitter feed and it looks like they did a buckets game yesterday. I enjoy those, although pies are my main taste, but they've been producing absolutely nothing as of late, maybe the return of this messy game will herald a new beginning for them to start back with the pies.
Here is one from yesterday that has been quickly uploaded.
A *lot* of bullshit from the guys but it's more even than some of the ones lately have been, with a few good rounds for the girls.
As for Jessica Alba, she is nowhere to be seen. Deciding I wanted to get to the bottom of this mystery, I watched the first part of this episode. They have a couple of the contestants with luggage, as if they are somehow being threatened off the show (always temporarily). Maybe she got shipped earlier? Also I did see some of the games prior to this were physical as fuck, we speculated she might have walked b/c of the pies, but watching these other wrestling "games" makes me think a petite little thing like her might have not been interested in that.
Roseangela was one of the four on the chopping block and "la web salva", which even with my shit Portugese tells me she was saved in some online vote of some sort. Good, she's a great pie target and takes hits well and often.
EEG Panama has played some messy games recently, unfortunately it's about 85% male mess. Here's a decent YT channel to follow the show. Nothing that great but something I guess. This show is capable of playing a messy game just about every day.

They've been playing wam-absent games more or less recently but in the past this show was the To-Go place for pies. Hopefully they're back in true form now. My previous source for this had dried up, wasn't uploading, but because I knew they weren't wamming, I hadn't bothered to find a new one. Glad you did my leg work for me!
For those who care, I scanned the 4-20 and 4-23 shows. EEG has unfortunately followed the trajectory of every single one of these Hispanic programs: The pie games are now completely dominated by the guys. They participate at a 4-to-1 ratio, and the time they take up is probably 10-to-1.
The women are down to the same 4 participants every time, and they just swap opponents. My guess is the other 8 (??) girls either refuse to participate, or have to be coerced. I guess if you love those 4 girls, you're getting 2 good hits per show. If you don't, there's no reason to watch anymore.
Anyone got a line on a new Latin American show? The reboot of PoR is a major bust so far, the reboot of CM not even worth mentioning.
2/7/24, 1:28pm: This post won't bump the thread to the top.
Of course, and at least it's the girls who wanna be there and have fun with it. (Like the girl who "died"....)
It does bug me that they were alternating guys and girls for a long time (as they should), and then overnight just switched to guys, girls... and then 4 sets of guys in a row. Also the guys are apparently encouraged to pie sandwich their opponents, but the women aren't??
Anyway, I REALLY hope they bring back the hot thin girl who lost EVERY. SINGLE. TIME. She's been noticeably absent in this new cycle (along with the girl who pied her every time).
I checked EEG Panama but the buckets game was all dudes, and the pie game had one (not good) female hit. Further back and it's 100% guys. One girl did get some nice brown slime dumped on her for you hair fans. Neka (??) is still there, still hot, but not getting remotely messy.
Panama hasn't produced much yet, but they've only been back to games for about a week now. Prior it was all outdoor jungle gym shit. Give them time (btw, you missed one girl hit, there have been two. None great, but still...)
Back to EEG proper, we're firmly in frustration-territory, where I knew we'd eventually end up. It's not that it's still not worth catching, it's just that the imbalance is so frustrating.
At some point, you just start hating everyone involved...
Take yesterday...
1. Two dudes. They take up over 5 minutes. Two rounds of pieings. While the hits actually don't produce super coverage (face-wise) they don't hold back and just stink at pieing. Both end up pied, of course. One with a double-pie.
2. Two girls. Usual ones. They get a couple minutes. One gets pied poorly and walks off immediately with her head down. No drama, no complaining after, nothing.
3. Dudes. One destroyed.
4. Dudes. One destroyed. Massive time to drama and stupidit.
5. Dudes. Loser pie sandwiched, again.
6. Girls. Paloma pied okay.
7. Dudes.
8. Dudes.
So, it's 4-1 against us, with no real time given to female rivalries or drama (can't believe some of you guys were complaining about that earlier).
... and it was really a matter of time before we got here. Sadly, it can (and will) get worse. Soon we'll be into "Guys sit around with dunce caps while the girls pie them dozens of times laughing" territory.
It's time to create a WAM Investigatory Commission that oversees all mainstream programming in the Americas.
Any time that men receive more than 60% of the mess on a television show an investigation will be launched with the authority to impose fines and file criminal charges, if necessary.
Central and South America need to be put on notice. Using men as the punchline in WAM gameshows will no longer be tolerated.
Last night, 5/3/18 they had the second pie game this week. The usual frustrating imbalance of 20 guys to 1 girl but there were some highlights:
1. Melissa Loza got pied very well and displayed perfect wiping technique. One eye she opened on her own, the other she couldn't, so she wiped just as little as possible, then looked to the camera in a faux shocked/surprised manner and shrugged her shoulders. It could have been a lot longer, would have loved to seen her dispute the pieing and call for revenge, but it was solid for what it was.
2. Roseangela Espinoza, who is a frequent target, is exceptionally hot and took a beating. The first "revenge!" moment in a long time, for the girls, was called for. She gets pied a few times.
Now, there was some male-bs shenanigans at play... at the end, she finally gets the chance for revenge, some guy steps in and somehow the guy ends up getting pied -- but this is the silver lining as I see it:
A) the girl she was going to pie has already been obliterated by Palmoa about a dozen times. It's nice and I like it when she's pied but we weren't denied something unique by her avoiding the pie.
B) The entire thing screams, "SET UP!", which means the producers sat down with Roseangela and they cooked up a scenario where she's pied over and over, has to feign outrage and anger and it culminating in some stupid contrived scenario where the payoff to the gag is some guy being pied. Whatever. What is great is how the build up to this gag involved possibly the most gorgeous woman on the show (arguable, I know) getting pied mercilessly. Yes, she's getting pied all the time anyway, but it's good knowing that she is clearly okay with it and willing to fake drama scenarios that involve her being pelted with pies.
Didn't she feign pie-death a week ago?
