Jessica Chobot on Expedition X
She is currently starring in Expedition X, which also features other figures, including Phil Torres and Josh Gates. Chobot’s work on the respective show has garnered huge public attention.
Online users have created threads on Reddit to share their personal opinions. Recently, she has been making rounds on the internet sources after a person on Reddit asked a bold question writing, “Am I the only one who thinks Chobot is a net negative?
Is Jessica Chobot Too Dramatic?
The Reddit user wanted to know if others shared their doubts about Chobot’s role and if they’d be okay if she were replaced.
It was also mentioned that how some people like her looks and personality but they personally feel she exaggerates reactions and doesn’t add much insightful talk. Not only that, but the one who asked the question also joked with their family about how Jessica reacted on screen, saying it’s funny how she reacts without much substance.
So, this discussion shows that netizens have different opinions about famous people like Jessica. Meanwhile, many people in the comment section also disagreed with the person who started the thread. One of them commented,
“I like Jess and I love the chemistry between her and Phil and Josh. I think it’s a great team. I think her over-the-top reactions balance well with Phil’s more rational approach, but I don’t believe in most of the supernatural stuff she believes in, so I don’t really identify with her on that.”
Similarly, another person also disagreed with the view saying, “I disagree. This show isn’t Lawrence of Arabia. I think both Jess and Phil are a good match. They chase cryptids and vampires. Their responses are going to be a bit campy. Anyway, I think a major cast change would be the end of the show.”
Some viewers believe that without Jessica’s lively presence, the show would be dull, especially compared to another character named Phil, who people find boring and lacking in energy. The person says Chobot’s reactions provide happiness and also appreciates her presence on the show.
Apart from that, some of them have even explained why people don’t like Jessica. One of them shared a view, saying that she doesn’t like Chobot as her reactions are exaggerated, and they tend to quickly attribute things to the paranormal without considering other possible explanations.
Although she acknowledges some improvement over time, she still finds Jessica annoying and would be happy if Chobot were no longer involved.
Moreover, the whole discussion received mixed reactions from everyone, and there were people who agreed. One writes,
“Agree. Her pointing her crooked finger at the camera saying “It’s moving, Phil!” was it for me. That and the chainsaw “stopping”.”
Another says,
“Yes! We have a fake drinking game and take a virtual shot every time she is overly dramatic, sees/feels/hears something no one else does, gets sick/nauseous/ headache, etc.”
Despite all the ongoing gossip related to her behaviour, Jessica has not opened her mouth and has not reacted to this matter yet.
