The Great Food Truck Race

[Adult Ed]

So we really have a Sarah Palin pasta salad truck? Holy shit does that food look unappetizing. And she's a conniving, lazy idiot. They went full-Palin, not just "this is close enough to make a sort of Palin joke".

Maybe I'm just a Waffler conspiracy theorist but I can't imagine that that the Waffle Truck won the Truck Stop for any other reason than the certainty that Seoul Sausage didn't need immunity. It would have sucked what little tension there is out of the show to have Seoul Sausage win. I mean, the guy thought the waffle truck makes a bad waffle; there's your season in a nutshell.

Top three are, again, Seoul Sausage, Pizza Mike and Nonna. That's how it will be until four trucks are left. Coast of Atlanta appears to make decent enough food but they don't put any effort into figuring out where to sell it.

Finally got to the second episode. I still think the idea of first-timers is interesting, but they still ended up with the same problem as every season, where there's at least one team that's way too good. Seoul Sausage might not have any food-truck experience, but they're still mopping up the competition without even being able to make sausages.

I think the basic problem with this show is that whoever vets the contestants is lousy at recognizing a NomNom-style juggernaut.

Quoting myself because this is just getting out of hand.

Well, maybe they'll cheat and get dq'd? Until then everyone else is playing for second. Their food is just so cheap and fast to make, and it appears to be both a novelty and a crowd-pleaser wherever they go, that they're practically unstoppable. The Jersey girls are fucked -- unless they can change their menu, it just seems like their shit is too slow to make.

this season is so stupid.

Tyler Florence to Seoul Sausage: "you literally own this town."

do you know how many people had to approve that line before it ended up on TV. me neither but a lot and even one would be enough.

[Adult Ed]

Someone should tell Monty about sausage patties. And someone should have told Mike that a truck called "Pizza Mike's" should probably be selling pizza outside of a baseball stadium.

[Babychoby]

Yeah, this season is nearly unwatchable. I HATE the way they film the contestants repeating everything Tyler says on the phone to other people in the truck. The editing and "acting" on this show are so, so bad. Also, dried cranberries in a taco? WTF are the Sarah Palins doing trying to serve tacos to texans? I hate them so much.

This show is the pits. The only thing I enjoyed was when one of the snookis said "I'm flaming right now" last week.

If you've been to Amarillo, you'd know that the line was the truth. With the $4500 they made they could own that town.

[Monty]

Good news! Seoul Sausage didn't win!

Of course, that required the show to give $750 to the next-best team, which then only won by $92. But still!

[sparklepicnic]

Holy fuck those waffle dorks are annoying.

- stupid fucking flags
- goddamn sing-songy voices
- shitty waffles (despite having an official chef)

I am looking forward to their broken dreams.

[isoS]

Don't forget the handlebar mustache!

[Adult Ed]

And that he calls himself Bobaloo.

[Babychoby]

They are literally clowns. Figuratively they are ass clowns.

[Monty]

The flag-waving wouldn't bug me if it had anything to do with the truck. As it is, he's just getting some flag practice when he's supposed to be working.

[Fritz Zwicky]

No one wants to talk about last night's unpredictable season finale?

Let me ask you something: can you spell UPSET?

[Adult Ed]

This whole season was duh.

I can't believe I watched more than one episode.

[isoS]

The only surprise was that I felt bad for Nonna's. There was something particularly cruel about the concept of the season: "Here's your dream come true in chrome and steel, but we're going to take it away from you and send you home with nothing unless you win." Every time someone was eliminated, I couldn't stop wondering, "So what happens to that truck now? You know, the one with professionally-designed branding that just got weeks of free publicity on national television? Can you at least offer to sell it to these poor shlubs or something?" The first two seasons, if nothing else, had the unspoken silver lining of each team getting to go home with increased visibility from the show to help their business. These assholes are back to square one. Can they at least get the truck wrap decals to put on a new truck if they manage to raise the money to buy one? SOMEONE ANSWER ME! WHAT PRITHEE WILL BECOME OF POP-A-WAFFLE!?
