Truth be told, the slushy thing is getting a little old anyway. I've never thought it was funny on the show, though- I've always thought it was humiliating and added a little bit of reality to the show.

I've always been paranoid about getting a pie in the face!! Remember how that happened on just about every variety show in the 70's???? It happened constantly!!! The slushy thing is the current version of the pie in the face!
