Really wish she was still on expedition x. It’s not gonna be the same. The way her and Phil worked together was awesome
Miss chobot’s quirky yet knowledgeable and “natural” presentation of info/background are sadly missed this season.
I can’t get onboard with Heather, She seems plastic… Her replies are like she is reading someone else’s presentation. Her visuals are reminiscent of a really BAD silent movie actress. It is like watching “selfie” practice. Ooh! Ah! Mouth open fingers over mouth…Eek! She has years of experience? Hmmmm… generations of knowledge? Hmmmm.. Can’t see it.
