Chapman Was Replaced by Grant Imahara on the Show
Chapman joined the show in the first season, along with Kari Byron and Tory Belleci. The trio was given an increased presence in the second season where they busted their own myths. Chapman left the show in the third season and was replaced by Grant Imahara.

There are times that we really dislike dealing with each other, but we make it work.”
