Grant Imahara Replaced Scottie Chapman on the Show
Chapman, along with Kari Byron and Tory Belleci, was one of the initial cast members and played an increasingly prominent role in the second season. However, she left the show in the third season, and Grant Imahara took her place.
In an interview with “Access Hollywood,” Jamie Hyneman, one of the show’s original hosts, acknowledged that strained relationships improved the show’s dynamics. He stated, “We get on each other’s nerves and everything all the time, but whenever that happens, we say so and we deal with it and move on. There are times that we really dislike dealing with each other, but we make it work.”
