I give Kari a few more points over Jessi, because Jessi’ accent is hard for me to understand (non-American here) and Jessi does come across as trying too hard. Kari also have a better rapport with the guys, which of course to be fair, something which Jessi would also pick up over time. Another vote to have Jessi in the fold as well! ---

I haven’t seen the episode with Jessi in it and have only seen a few pictures of her, but **damn** does she look plain! I trip over more attractive blondes when I go to a mall around here. Kari \> Jessi. ---

That is the most plain picture I’ve seen of her. Sorry, I’m not buying any of this pro-Jessi propaganda. ---

[Me and Kari in Las Vegas](http://www.lfexaminer.com/IMG_0322.JPG). (Photo by [Adam Savage](http://www.lfexaminer.com/IMG_0323.JPG). (Photo by Kari.)) What is it that makes her a geek goddess? Is it that she’s female, not ugly and doing something sciency? That’s got to be really encouraging to potential women in technical fields. “Gee, you really do a good job with that, do you mind if I look at your ass?” It’s not that looking isn’t natural, but somehow with Kari it’s become OK or even sacrilege not to just openly declare how hot she is. ---

The only myth I want to see tested right now is the myth that Kari can’t come back immediately, and when she does, can they launch Scrunchyface McTomboy to the moon using rockets? Not that I have a strong opinion or anything. ---

Jessi’s cute, but I prefer Kari. I am especially disappointed that it wasn’t Kari in the cute Star Trek uniform in tonight’s episode. ☹ ---

Now with _that_ image in mind… I’ll be in my bunk. [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/temporary-mythbuster-jessi/521603.md?page=3)
