According to an article --- PoR is returning WITH PIES on May 17.

To maintain social distancing the pies will be thrown by a machine. I'm guessing it'll be similar to the contraption used in the Pie Face Game. But we'll have to wait and see.

Considering how terribly pies are thrown at women by humans on PoR this could be an improvement. But then again, it may not be.

The translation was rough but I believe the article said there won't be any players over the age of 60 due to a higher risk of virus related sickness.

If they want only the most healthy then all eight players should be 20-something models who exercise eight days a week and drink green vegetable power shakes for breakfast, lunch and dinner. (Call the CM modeling agency, damn it.)

There was no mention if the players would be wearing face masks. That would pretty much negate the purpose of the game, in my opinion.

If any of the players contracts the virus, which seems likely, I'd expect the game to be cancelled until a cure is found -- which may be hundreds of years from now.

I searched for articles about PoR, and all I can say is that there will have no audience.

Well, pie fights between only men probably won't have too... Only watching will be possible to say if they will do correct pies... Or if they will find another way to make only men get dirty.

So that was 6 days ago on Insta so it COULD certainly be new but doesn't go with the whole machine pies thing. Maybe that happened already???

Fairly worthless episode from last July.
The older woman from the team on the right gets a decent pie, and that's about it.
At some point a predictable "mass pie fight" breaks out, with the guys running around, the women ducking for cover, and the camera moving wildly and capturing none of it. At one point, we see that the towel girl has been pied, although we never see it happen on camera. For about a second she's on screen in a mid-range shot, in which she turns her head so we can see her "excellent" pieing is really just a Phantom of The Opera thing (one half of the face).

The screen grabs in that Instagram are basically the only times you see her pied on camera.

Believe me, on the off chance this show ever starts delivering again, you'll hear about it. Last July wasn't it.

Yeah, SS is correct.

I wrote about it here:

Also, there's a studio audience in that pic. There won't be an audience in any new episodes for the foreseeable future.

PoR returns on Sunday (with what appears to be) six men and two women.

Since men are more likely to have corona complications this decision needs to be reviewed by a team of virologists.

Nevermind. If doctors took control of the show they'd have them throwing hand sanitizer pies.

Today's episode of PoR was a repeat.

A new episode with a pie throwing machine was supposed to be shown today.

Here's a google translation of the article I referenced:


According to Notias da TV, from UOL, from this Sunday (17), Celso Portiolli will lead an unprecedented Legal Sunday with the presence of a virtual audience, which consists of the remote presence of the indispensable co-workers, through televisions positioned in the seats of the stands.

This edition of Domingo Legal was recorded exceptionally last Friday (15), but the Ratinho Program, which will also use the same scheme, has already recorded editions previously, which will start airing next week.

The production of Passa ou Repassa took other precautions to avoid the risk of contaminating the guests participating in the dispute, such as the creation of a machine that shoots pies developed just so that no one has direct contact with each other.

I guess they weren't ready, for whatever reason.

Maybe next week.

PoR is returning May 31, according to an article I found.

No reason is given for the delay.

My guess the delay is because they are working on recalibrating the machines, ensuring they're able to simultaneously throw four pies at once with pinpoint accuracy against them men but also only able to hit the chins of the female participants.

That kind of fine tuning could take some time to properly adjust.

Link isn't working. I assume it was disappointing?

When I hear pied by a machine, I think of the Pie Pod on the US Nick's show "What Would You Do".

Even with a seated target, more than half were grazes or misses.

Oh No -- Say it ain't so !!

But does this mean the ones under 60 will be wearing face masks.

Hope it's not this one -- too freaky...

https://www.instructables.com/id/Pie-in-the-Face-Paper-Mache-Mask/

If they're eliminating players over 60 then BigNoseGuy and PropellerHatGuy are out, along with a few of the other "comedians".

Another a factor to consider -- their regular roster of "talent" includes several men and women with greatly expanded waistlines. If they have co-morbidities that'd increase their odds of serious corona sickness. Perhaps it'd be wise if they didn't play either.

If Celso is thinking clearly then he won't have any kid competitors. Even though kids are far less likely to develop symptoms -- if a kid got sick and died that'd be the end of his career. Definitely not worth the risk. So no kids.

Apparently men are more at risk to die from corona than women. Therefore it might be wise to avoid male contestants entirely.

I think I've made my case why only super-healthy women in their 20s should participate on PoR -- at least until Bill Gates' vaccine is available. Then we can all die together.

Damn you to hell, Coronavirus!
You take a show that is ALREADY ruining the hell
out of the only potentially interesting segment
with all sorts of pointless safety precautions & destroying it even more
with real safety precautions!

Seriously: fucking good observation.

Modestly decent game, all things considered. I'd even go so far as to say that this was better than the average crappy game played in 2018 to 2019.

The teams were three men versus three women. The men won 8 to 4.

There's a chin rest to keep the loser in proper position to receive the pie. For the most part the women stood properly.

Two of the pies skimmed the tops of womens' heads. There were at least three or four direct face hits. A couple of the hits had at least 5 seconds of aftermath --a lifetime by PoR standards.

Several of the men disregarded the chin rest and stood taller. In an couple cases they deliberately moved into an errant pie.

It appears that the placement of the pie on the holder is the determining accuracy factor. The towel girls started placing the plate closer to the arm and the hits were more square. Who knew towel girls could make such complex Newtonian calculations about trajectory?

The quality of the pies seems to be less. They're more fluffy, less sticky and colorless. If the pie is a different formula it's probably due to virus concerns.

If none of today's players dies from corona in the next few days then we can expect at least one or two more weeks.

Great Dani video! Did you make that ABC, or am I not supposed to ask?

Well, whoever made it, it'd be great if a compilation video was made for each CM girl.

BTW, I believe Dani is 29 or 30. She's not married and has no pictures with boyfriends on her Insta.

She's there for the taking, boys!

I mean, you can see for yourself. It's literally just some spray whip cream on a paper plate. The only difference between PoR and Fivver girls is the production values.

Perhaps the ONLY thing PoR has ever had as an "advantage" is a great pie recipe, especially for the team unlucky enough to get the blue pies (which would've been the women today, for the first time in like years). It's sticky like frosting and it REALLY sticks, and stains, especially if done right. Today's game would've actually been decent if those pies had been used.

Anyway, I suppose the nature of the "game show" appeals to some, but there's close to 400K videos already on YouTube with a similar spring-loaded "Pie In The Face" style catapult and similarly crap pies. It's up to you if you want to deal with a VPN to watch a version starring random female celebs from Brazil.

Yes, the pies are made with spray now. This is to assure that there'll have no contact with the pies. The second and the third pies on the brunette in light blue denim shirt were excellent. The way she opened her mouth was superb!

The official web site says there'll be another game with pies thrown by a machine.

However, five of the six players appear to be men.

Celso probably fired the person who booked three women last week. He was undoubtedly enraged because the women took 8 pies (compared to 4 for the men) and the machine delivered several direct hits.

All the necessary corrections are being made.

This week should provide much more comedy.

The one (presumed) female lost all three times and took three pies squarely in the face. The first hit included at least five seconds of aftermath. Pretty decent. The last two hits showed none. She was stepping to the podium for a fourth time when Celso ended the game.



Noteworthy: every pie thrown by the machine was accurate.

Now we'll know what this "after-Covid" PoR is made by...

During 2018 and 2019 seasons, PoR was dedicated to throw pies only in men. Always finding tricks to assure this would happen...

But now, with the Pie Machine and the need of isolation, many of the tricks are no longer available... in special, two of them: Pies only in the mouth and pie fights between only men.

This was probably the reason why PoR finally opened space to the back of the greatest pie taker from 2014, 2015 and 2016 seasons: Mellon Woman.

This will be the chance of finally knowing which is the soul which moves PoR...

Will we see the great pies we used to see?

The pie machine is throwing the pies correctly. In the first episode, there were some pies in the top of the head, but they fastly solved that.

Or the thrick will be "throwing good pies, but the camera won't show it", as the second and the third pie of last Sunday episode???

Let's wait to see...

I wasn't a huge fan of Melon Woman early on.... I believe Kelly Medeiros was my fave.

As they kept returning, though, Kelly took less (and worse) pies, and really stopped being "reliable," as it were. Melon Woman, on the other hand, kept getting more and more wrecked with every appearance. It's like at some point, the producers told the men, "It's fine, you can treat her like a guy."

So yeah, she's my fave. And she hasn't been back since leading the women to "walk off" in protest of Celso wasting an ungodly amount of time with some idiot guest years ago. That means this is her first time for the "reboot." I HATE the new pies they're using.... I mean, going from that great super-messy PoR formula to spray cream on a plate?? But maybe she gets it good anyway. And maybe this bodes well for her returning down the line to get actually messy.

Eliminating all players over 60 got rid of most of the male comedians. Apparently this has paved a path to bring more women on. And the pie machine appears dialed for accuracy. A few positives.

Who is Melon Woman?

Mulher Mel ..... enjoy.......

[EDIT: Mulher Melao. Weird that the UMD bans the Portuguese "A"....]

Wow, even the pie thrower's job has been taken over by automation. How long until there will be automated robot models too.

https://youtu.be/L1kZKI5Xab8?t=111

Can't remember the show, except that there was no PoR on this one.
There were still two teams... One men, the other a bunch of hot females (Melon and others). They did some of the games, then Celso had some aging Brazilian "celebrity" on to promote her new thing, and talk.
And talk.
And TALK.

At some point, the segment finally finishes... and there's no longer a female team. And Celso makes some random excuse, and that's the end of PoR, and they move on to something else. A little Googling revealed that Mulher led the women's team to walk off when the celebrity took over the show.

ANYWAY. She hasn't been back since. She did appear on a "later" episode, but I guess that had been shot earlier but held until the Christmas break.

Melon Woman received three pies (I think). On her first loss she jumped back and the pie landed on her --- er -- melons. Amazingly, Celso made her put her chin back on the holder and do it again. Square hit. Two seconds of aftermath.

Later she received another square hit with 5 seconds of aftermath. This was the show's highlight.

The other two women received four pies (combined) and there was almost zero aftermath.

The pie machine was again perfect. Every pie thrown was a strike down the center of home plate.

A return to the old pies PLUS the pie machine would make PoR pretty damn good right now. But that's not happening for the time being.

When we emerge from the virus will they retain the 100% accurate pie machine or return to the 25% accurate human pie throwers? Will they keep the simplistic (less costly) pies or bring back the original quality pies? I wonder.
