Was there anything else decent in the vid? I just went to 1:07.

No hits like that, but there's some good stuff here and there. And plenty of male WAM, as always.
They've changed their pie formula (less gooey, more thickness)... and coupled with some of the very gentle hits, it means that a weak hit is basically a waste. The female guest (AKA the copyright violation) would've been a great pie recipient, but her hit is so half-assed it barely qualifies.
Fortunately Token has been stepping up lately. Kid is the MVP of a really weak male squad.
Incredible. You see so few "heavy eye/eyelid cover" pies off of a gameshow pieing anymore (was a staple of the best WWYD/Family Challenge-esque pieings of yore)

Your guess is as good as mine, but apparently you can't be a network show in Brazil without face-palming on a semi-weekly basis. (The only other pie game of note, Domingo Legal, has somehow managed to edit the best female pie hit out of its OWN upload... for TWO weeks running!! :-S )
Anyway, long-n-short: The official CM channel uploaded the "Bloco 2" video Sunday night. Within minutes, Rede Globo (a Brazilian record company) blocked the video worldwide due to copyright violations. The consensus was CM had failed to obtain the rights to the music performed by the female guest. Yesterday, this new "Bloco 2" went up in its place. I'm assuming they edited out the offending audio so everything's square.
And believe me, I'm as surprised as anyone that they came through on this! This is the same channel that just "forgot" to upload three shows in June. (At a time when the women were getting pied very well, natch.)
I have two questions. Perhaps someone has answers.
1) Does anyone have any idea how much money the Chega Mais models make? This question has been rattling around in my brain. I have no idea whatsoever. Are the models considered (at least) B-Level television stars and paid a meaningful income? Or are they starving actors working for a few hundred dollars (or less) per episode? Are the models largely on the show for exposure?
2) What are the television ratings of Chega Mais in Brazil? Does the show even register in the ratings? If their Facebook and Instagram pages are any indication their audience appears small. It also appears to me that at least 1/3 of the YouTube views are coming from wammers. I can't figure out if this television show is a complete flop or moderately successful.

I think these are worthwhile questions, in that I find Latin American television baffling in general... I kind of wonder why non-wammers watch shows like this and Esto es Guerra etc. What's the entertainment value in watching the same bunch of models compete in stupid games every day/week?
I figure EEG appeals to the same folks who, in America, would watch Fear Factor, or American Ninja Warrior, or Wipeout, or whatever. It's a popular format in Latin America though: Good-looking teams of men & women competing in various different games and stunts. (Most of them are actually NOT messy.) I'm sure there's a soap opera/reality show element to having the same players day after day as well. (BLT, Combate, and others use the same format.)
Passa ou Repassa, as I've mentioned before, is a Latin American institution (and specifically Brazil). There's been either this game or a knock-off running since 1991 on some show or another. Domingo Legal, the parent show, is really just a talk show with the PoR game added on.
Chega Mais basically follows the same formula as DL (talk show plus messy quiz show at the end) and adds the "same players every week" gambit from EEG and others. And I suppose letting the players wear nice clothes (and get messy in them) is the big switch from all the other previous shows. (At least for us.)
I have no idea how much the CM models get paid. If I had to guess, I'd bet it was similar to the Road Rules/Real World Challenge from years ago... Not a lot of money, but a lot of exposure. And these folks are young and good-looking, so a national program can only help their modeling/acting/music/pie stooge careers.

It's hard to imagine a woman who desires a traditional modeling career taking pies and balloons nearly every week for a year for pocket cash. Especially considering that the modeling career they desire will most likely never materialize.
Probably none of these women had any thought whatsoever of becoming a WAM model. However, many will become the most thoroughly pied and gunged women in television history.
That much said tomorrow's episode looks like a lock to have at least three (possibly four) fantastic female pie-ings.
Eh, I'm not sure they're gonna be "the most thoroughly pied and gunged women in history." Just the women from EEG alone beat them by that standard... as that show runs 4-5 days a week, and some of the women have been on there for more than 3 years.... And for a while they were doing the pie quiz round almost every day, along with the messy buckets, balloons, etc etc.
Or that older woman from the Ratinho show who is always on the PoR game on DL... She's taken about 25 pies by now with her various appearances in the last two years. I think that tops all the CM girls so far.
Most models today are "Instagram models." They're not doing runway shows and fashion mags. They're posting selfies and the occasional photo shoot and they make a good living because they have hundreds of thousands of followers. So it makes sense for a model in Brazil to appear on CM and increase her exposure. (It helps that CM promotes their IG handle live on the show and on their social media pages.) Hell, the twins have been getting pied every week for four months now, and they're breakout stars in Brazil, so who knows.
It saddens me that I am so beholden to my...predilections, that I will sit through the utter dirge that is Chega Mais - week after grim week - to satisfy them. Sigh. Funny old game!
You know you can just wait for the clips to get uploaded in a few hours, then skip right to the good stuff, right? And save a few million brain cells in the process!
