Not fantastic, but quite a bit better than anything Conexo has done in the last 3 months. (Or even EEG, sadly.)
I edited out the guys as it's painful to watch them get uniformly destroyed by the girls (and other guys). If that's your thing, tho, the whole episode is on YT.
I also put together a playlist to compile all the Combate clips from 2017 in one spot.
I was TRYING to enjoy these clips, Rich, but my eyes got BLINDED by the INCESSANT LASER shows and nonstop flashing backgrounds. Geez... have these Peruvians or Brazilians or whatever ever heard the phrase TONE IT DOWN, a little?
Also, if it's just shaving cream, it ain't a pie. Then it's no more exciting than watching me shave in the morning. (which, I admit, is actually pretty exciting)
I think this foam is generally far superior to shaving cream, the reason being that shaving cream wipes off immediately and easily and most of the time the female victims don't let it stay on their face very long.
This stuff can be good with some effort. If the pie-er is willing to smear it around, which you see a lot with the men, it sticks well but also doesn't always demand it be wiped off to deal with, it seems they can react and open their eyes to see often without much or any wiping.
Much more potential overall with this colored foam stuff than shaving cream. Shaving cream can be good too but it's much easier for it to stray from that and give a mediocre or worthless pie hit.

Have you noticed what the laser lights and strobes do to the video quality.....it becomes impossible to view these clips in HD because HD rendering turns to "mush: when you have strobing lights...confetti also destroys video quality as well.
My favorite "sticking it to you" editing effect are those used on Indian music videos...who deploy excessive strobing and flashing all the time....it is almost like saying "Hey....for all you Epileptics out there who enjoy having a seizure....this one's for you".
For me....these EEG and Combate shows are worth watching about 2 times per year...when they ditch their horrid costumes and do the scenes in sexy costumes.....cos for me, clothing is the 2nd most important thing (after the pies) and a pie scene with a swimsuit or lousy costume is a nothing burger for me. I would rather see a moderately attractive girl wearing a great outfit, than a great looking model in a swimsuit. When they wear the same darn ugly shorts and tops every single day....how the heck can you tell the difference between one show and the next show.....it's monotony on steroids.
Does anyone have an idea what the coloured foam may be? It does look different to shaving foam (as described earlier in the thread, it looks more dry than shaving foam). I'd still be curious to see if its something you can get in the UK though!
Combate is now official EEG Peru. Dead. Lots of messy games the last couple weeks. Nothing but guys. Always the girls answering the questions with the guy getting punished. EEG Panama is close. They mixed the teams so now guys are about 75% of the participants in any messy game. You knew those ladies would wuss out, but could they make it any more obvious?
Tonights pie game had about 30 pie / buzz ins. Just horrible.
I checked a few EEG Panama clips. The slime one was a waste. The pie one had at least 50% girls, going against each other. It was OK. Not amazing. I wouldn't write that show off completely tho. It's not the original EEG yet.
I would say Combate has fully gone to the dark side, they recently did that game where you "buzz in" by pieing a teammate - all girls doing the pieing and all guys taking them.
Frustrating but probably inevitable for these shows.
EEG Panama has decreased in quality, but it's been an overall dip. The girls still tend to be in the mix as much as guys, although lately it's been girl vs girl which has produced some rather weak hit attempts.
Last night , Combate had a male vs female pie game, and its current suckage was explained. A girl lost two rounds and each time got a really quick pie to the face, then the pie was quickly pushed to the top front of her hair. Cue the tears, and a graphic with the words "molesta" and "tortazo".
The third time she won, the girls made about 5 pies into one, and that was used to destroy the man. Two other times the guys lost, they were destroyed, (face, hair, wrap it around a few times), yet the show acted like pie in a females hair was a sin of God.
Considering these guys want to be popular, and not piss off their fans, I don't see a ton of hope in the future. Every guy on these shows remind me of Santino Morella from WWE. I think that's his name.
