Josh Gates aux frontières du réel

I just finished the first season and I am appalled at the claim the Jessica Chobot is an "experienced" paranormal investigator! She freaks out at any potential contact and then she doesn't seem to have any ability to problem solve and look for logical cause for an experience. She automatically goes right to "it's haunted!". As someone who watched the series Ghost Hunters I find it hard to believe that she has any real experience as a paranormal investigator. This show would be much better if they would replace Jessica with a "real" paranormal investigator.

Does anyone believe that any of these shows like these are actual pure science? If you don't want something that is at least 50% entertainment then watch PBS. Shows like this are scripted and the drama is obviously staged, but who cares? I love this show because it's cheesy and fun. A number of reviewers on here give Jess a hard time for being so sure everything is paranormal. What I find stranger is how Phil could still be skeptical after all of the things they encounter. If all the things that happen to them while "investigating" were real then any rational human would be terrified. This is good fun entertainment. Enjoy it for what it is, not for what you want it to be.

I have loved Josh Gates for years and came to love Phil and Jess as well. I don't believe in much paranormal stuff but the show was entertaining. That is until Jess left. I was heartbroken and upset with Josh that he didn't make amends with her. I REALLY do not like this new woman Heather. She is so obviously fake that it just ruins the show. Whenever she does anything like the necklace Ouji board thing or the dowsing rods she is so obviously moving her fingers to manipulate them. I spend more time being distracted by her faked stuff that I cannot enjoy the entertainment factor that I had with Jess. From reading some other reviews I see I am not alone.

Josh, fix things with Jess and get rid of that fake hack Heather.

The biggest mystery about this program is how it ever got commissioned. Jessica is obviously as mad as a box of frogs, and will believe literally any old rubbish instead of the obvious truth. Phil is supposed to be the voice of reason, but all too often goes along with ridiculous scenarios instead of just pointing out it's a load of nonsense. Formulaic, preposterous, implausible.

The female investigator ruins the show for me. She does not add much to the show and gets scared every couple of minutes. Please replace her with someone (if there are any more episodes) with someone that does not come across as really annoying.
