You guys must be watching a different show...looked like plenty of gals got pied, and Barb gets pied twice....my only complaint (slight) is to the kind person who put together this compilation: please give us at least a one second (close up or medium close up) view of the clean models face before cutting to the pie sequence (where her face is obscured)...if this is at all possible. But thanks for putting these together!...looks like the gal in the blue dress had the most fun with this segment/gag...hamming it up after each pieing...the others seemed either barely tolerant or not happy at all.

The girl you said "kinda liked it" last week is Barbara. Barbara is the one who is "not happy at all."
When you demand the producers edit one of the best pie hits in CM history out of the broadcast altogether (aside from a half-second wide shot), that's pretty much a good bet you're not happy at all.
I wish I could keep everything about Barb, but replace her attitude with LITERALLY any other girl on that stage. They're all tolerant to enjoyable about pies. None of them pull the diva behavior like Barb. FYI, the two who do it best besides blue dress (Paloma) are Nadia and New Julia... Both present this week, both 100% clean after going a combined 6-0.
A few weeks ago was the best episode in some time... Something like 10 pie hits to the girls in under 15 minutes. Would've been one for the ages except more producer interference... After the girls went one round and missed almost every question, the show just abruptly "ended" with no explanation. Those were mostly new girls too, with no diva behavior on display.
I've noticed that a lot of Brazilian pie game shows with exception Domingo Legal, has an episode where a female causes drama about being pied. It's at the point where I think it's planned by producers as a publicity stunt. Because if it wasn't planned why would you invite drama queens to come back week after week?
Oh, I'm sure there's a soap opera element to it. Barbara was completely fine with getting pied for her first month on the show, then she "flipped the switch" and became the Queen Diva.
By the same token, the "Idiot Twins" weren't always idiots. It was just the first guy... Basically a himbo, but no more or less stupid than the guys on there now. But they were probably told to lean into the idiocy by the producers, and it's certainly the thing driving the show's (very tiny, very female) fanbase now. (Aside from the pies, which are driving us, but we don't count.)
You can see how Curly is desperately attempting to hop on the "Look at me! I'm an idiot!" bandwagon. I guess he wants some of that spotlight (and a minimum 3 pies a show). Weird that no other women have jumped on the diva train... I guess we should be grateful for that.
Rich: not a big deal to kvetch about, really....after Barb's multiple pie pieings, she would leave the pie on longer (and stay on camera longer) without wiping as soon as the others, so, I merely speculated (and we know how painful that can be)....since those two pieings, though, I've noticed more attitude from her...the only other model I had a problem with was the long, dark-haired girl from the 2015 episodes (very pretty) who would almost always duck or avoid getting a complete pieing (I'm sure Rich knows her name)...

Yeah, there was an entire thread on her (although I forget her name)... She basically forces the guys not to pie her face. Very frustrating, although there's been about 3-4 excellent face pies for her over the year. (She's one of the original girls.)
It's one of the older CM threads if you feel like hunting it down. And yes, Barb's diva attitude has been a source of contention for 6 months now.
