OK, what’s the _real_ reason of Jess’ disapearance from the show? 😕

“On September 12th, 2007, Jess announced on her MySpace Blog that the  
Discovery Channel decided to let her go because they didn’t like her as a character on the show.”

I need more!! 😉

She didn’t really seem to establish herself. She was mostly in the background, certainly not as prominent as Kari, Tory, and Grant. I’ve noticed her, but not enough that I can tell why she was liked or not liked.
