Dipo, I think our thread dropped off the board. I love Flipped Out.

Couldn't find the Last Comic Standing thread, anyone watch the finale on Monday? I just watched my recording last night. I was ok with the winner being Phillipe (sp??). They were a pretty funny bunch this year.

Felipe was one of my faves from the beginning (I watched the audition shows and liked him then). I bailed on all of the shows after the top 10 was set, and only caught the finale this week. I was happy with him winning. And he looked stunned!

I have been watching The Colony. It is very good. A bit more gritty than shows like Survivor. There are no challenges or prizes. These people have been thrown into a situation without any direction, to sink or swim on their own. Of course the production crew is there, but only to film. It is worth watching. The innovations and things they have come up with to survive and make their life bearable are pretty incredible. Anyone who says people today can't cope with things that our ancestors had to deal with should watch this show. I think there is hope for us yet.

Allietex, are they still having conflicts with other groups of people? I saw the first show and hated that part of it, so I didn't watch again. Tnt, I have never heard of it.

Has anyone heard about Investigation Discovery's showing of "Cropsey, the Urban Legend" on tonight? I didn't even realize there was a channel called Investigation Discovery until I read about this in the paper this morning. 'Cropsey' is a true crime documentary involving missing children, a notorious mental hospital harboring tunnels and possibly worse, and a letter-writing, kidnapping suspect--all which inspire filmmakers Joshua Zeman and Barbara Brancaccio to explore a Staten Island urban legend of the same name. Allie ~ I tried The Colony but came into the middle of an episode so I couldn't quite tell what's going on. Maybe they'll have a marathon of it one day. It does sound good.

Tnt ~ I might tune in for a bit. Just shows they can make a show out of anything, right? Watched 'Cropsey' and wasn't that impressed.

We have lots of "taco trucks" around town - Since I have not gotten up the courage to try one, I will try living vicariously watching this show!

I was interested enough that I will check it out next week when the show moves up an hour earlier to replace the "Next Food Network Star."

We have such great gourmet food trucks in LA, this should be exciting. Last week, I was at the Grilled Cheese Truck, where I had a grilled brie and tomato on focaccia. How bad can that be? http://www.findlafoodtrucks.com/

I'm watching the first episode of The Great Food Truck Race right now. And damn, I wish I'd known they were all here! I do remember seeing Nom Nom at my farmer's market (but 10am is just too early for a sandwich and I don't usually buy food to eat there). It's kind looking like maybe we should start a thread for this show? BTW, I'm all over the @sfcarts in the Bay Area. I keep an eye on them and when they venture out of the City... (These aren't food trucks though.)

It was late, and I was sleepy by the time this show was over! Did they say where they are headed next?

Santa Fe, New Mexico. P.S. Not surprised Nom Nom won. They had a prime location at the Hillcrest Farmer's Market. If they were there all day (Sundays, from 9am to 2pm), they would've had thousands of people walk by them. The North Park festival, where Ragin' Cajun and Nana Queen, probably would've had a hundred other vendors selling food. The French guys down at Seaport Village kind of had a crappy location, but there are a lot of people walking past that area.

nah, I had to run to a meeting right after I finished teaching. I'm sure they'll be back again cuz UCLA is building a new structure on "south campus" for food and, until then, they are allowing food trucks to come in and overcharge students/faculty the way the UCLA food services normally does. They did have a pretty big line outside the truck when I saw them at 11, though.

Wonder if the line was cuz peeps recognized who they were or just if the peeps were starving!

Yep ~ We need a thread for Great Food Truck Race! I just watched last weeks episode and because I had not eaten all afternoon, I wanted crepes and banana pudding so badly! Hopefully Nana Queen will not be too disappointed because that was great publicity for them. I also liked how the winners get to come back and enjoy the city they're in at a future time.

Enjoyed tonights Food Truck Race again but it was a little more stressful watching a few freak out. Headband guy was dogging on the crepe people for their appearance but at least I know what the crepe people make. I have no clue what headband is selling while I do know what all the other trucks do. They make my mouth water. Headband man's truck does not. Wow, Nom Nom made almost twice what the rest did. Wonder if they'll franchise after this.
