Expedition X

Somehow this show returned for a second season, and somehow it's even worse. This show has nothing to do with it's parent show, Expedition Unknown, where you are constantly given history and interesting facts/culture about said location from likable host Josh Gates. This show rather decides to rip off fake-ass ghost shows with every single trope those shows have, but done 10x worse and obviously more fake. I gave the show a second chance after its hiatus, and yet somehow they learned nothing from the first season and have doubled down on horribly made fake setups. The two hosts still consist of a girl most famous for licking a PSP and a guy that's an Instagram bug fanatic, both of which seem to absolutely hate eachother. The girl seems to think even the slightest cricket sound is a supernatural homunculus waiting to pounce from the underbrush, and the guy just seems to want to go home and down a glass of hard liquor to forget about the episode he just had to film. Both of them pretend to be scared of stock sound effects that they edit in post production, talk to crazy people/actors about their experiences with the creature of the week, fumble around in uninteresting dark places for 15 minutes, and then just give up after finding a prop they put on-site and calling it so-called "evidence", opting instead to call up and bother Josh to give him an "update" when it's clear he could care less and just wants to go back to sleep. It's paint-by-numbers ghost show and an incredibly boring slog to get through, and if Josh didn't appear you'd have no idea that this was connected in any way to Expedition Unknown. The only sheer amount of enjoyment I get out of watching this show is the commercial in-between where a lonely man buys his seemingly paralyzed guinea pig a new hat for Christmas whilst proceeding to take a picture of him. After that commercial is taken off the air, I will have no reason to watch this show.

If you want entertaining fake ghost shows, please for the love of god watch anything else.

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.

Is Jessica insane?? The biologist is open minded but she just thinks everything must be supernatural, or a monster. Not open that something may have a normal explanation. Expedition Unknown with Mr Josh is my preferred tipple!

This isn't a bad show to say the least. The cast of the show needs some work, but I like when this show hunts down monsters whether they exist or not. However I did not like how they added in fake screams in one of the investigations, but I guess that was for entertainment purposes. Overall, it's a nice spin off to expedition unknown with josh as the big boss. I don't believe people know what they are talking about when they give this show a terrible review. Why does joshes entire crew have to be involved? I guess people don't know what a change of pace looks like.

My wife and I have watched this show from the very beginning and we absolutely love it! That is, until Heather joined the show. I'm sure that she is a very nice and sweet person, however, she cannot say anything without it coming out sounding like a lie, even the things that you know are absolute fact!

My wife and I both think that she is trying to act so hard, without any talent for it, that she sounds like an absolute phoney!.

The chemistry between Phil and Jessica was absolutely perfect and the show was seamless especially when Josh joined the show, I mean, who doesn't love Josh? Back then we would have given the show 10 out of 10 Stars every single episode and every single year!

As far as the chemistry between Phil and Heather, well, there is none! You could tell Phil is trying so very hard but just can't make it work! When Heather first joined the show, it almost sounded as though she did know a little bit about paranormal investigation, but as the show went on and she would jump like a terrified mouse at every single noise and grab it phil's arm, because she was frightened senseless, that gave us all the facts that we needed to conclude, she had no idea what she was doing and had no business pretending to be an expert paranormal investigator, because the real ones, (the professional ones), don't scream every 5 seconds!

And I hate to say this, because as I said, we have watched this show from the very beginning, but we don't know how much longer we will be able to continue watching this! It almost feels as though we're being forced to watch it, if that makes any sense.

They really need to bring Jessica back, or they need to find somebody who is a well seasoned and talented paranormal investigator and has at least a modicum of talent as an actress!

And again, like I said, I have nothing against heather, I'm sure she is a very nice person, she just brings the quality of the show down so far, that it is disappointing.
