While the first two seasons (2015-2017) were mostly well-received, the same cannot be the same for Season 3.

Why this Camp sucks now

 * 1) The main problem with this season is that the majority of the characters from the first two seasons, such as Xander, Tiffany, Jorge, Griff, Gladys, and Hazel (however, she makes a guest appearance in "Inn Trouble") are nowhere to be found. No explanation is given as to what happened to them (except for Gladys, whose absence is explained) and they aren't even mentioned by the other characters, like they never even existed in the first place!
 * 2) *Executive Meddling: It wasn't even the original cast members' decision to leave the show as Disney Channel kicked them off to introduce new characters, which shows how expendable the cast is to Disney.
 * 3) *Not only most of the original characters left the show without any explaination, but many potential storylines we're completely wasted, for instance:
 * 4) **During the end of season 2 Zuri and Griff got together and they could've developped there relationship.
 * 5) **We could've seen the brothership between Griff and Xander.
 * 6) **Hazel who had became a CIT could've have character developpement.
 * 7) **It was never confirm if Xander and Emma are still together or they broke up.
 * 8) *To make matters worse, they are now replaced with three new characters: Destiny, Matteo, and Finn. They're not bad characters, but the three are rehashed versions of former or current characters.
 * 9) **Destiny is a rehash of Emma since both are into beauty and fashion (the difference between them is that Emma is not a show-off). She also always wants things to go her way because all she cares about are winning and beauty.
 * 10) **Matteo is a rehash of both Ravi and Tiffany. He's smart like the former and overly cautious like the latter.
 * 11) **Finn is a rehash of Jorge since both are slobs who don't care about personal hygiene.
 * 12) ***Matteo and Destiny themselves are unlikable and very selfish. Matteo may also seem innocent, but he is a huge jerk and is a horrible friend.
 * 13) The theme song has been shortened considerably and is very lazily put together as only the last verse is used.
 * 14) There is little to no connection to the first two seasons, making this season seem almost non-canon to said seasons.
 * 15) Quantity Over Quality: Much like SpongeBob SquarePants and The Fairly OddParents, it lasted for way to long, having a total of 6 seasons with a 7th season coming in 2023. The show will often jump the shark due the fact the writers constantly keep replacing old characters and bringing new characters next season.
 * 16) The show was originally going to end on Season 3, but due to an increase in popularity, it was renewed for three more seasons.
 * 17) Disney decided to milk the series for all its worth during these seasons by keeping it going after Peyton List, Karan Brar, and Skai Jackson left.
 * 18) *While replacing the Ross Kids is not bad at all, the new characters that are introduce in season 4 is not as good as the Ross Kids espicially since the show was based around Emma, Ravi, and Zuri.
 * 19) Some plots are rehashed from older episodes.
 * 20) Seasons 3-onwards are filled with average/bad episodes.
 * 21) Several awful/bad/mediocre/meh/annoying new characters.
 * 22) Since Xander and Hazel are no longer on the show, these seasons killed the Xander-Emma-Hazel love triangle, which was an insult to many fans.
 * 23) Unlike the first two seasons, there are no guest appearances from any Jessie characters, not even Luke. To add insult to injury, Jessie never made a guest appearance.
 * 24) Weak, unfunny, forced, and stale humor. Speaking of which, these seasons have even more gross-out and toilet jokes than the first two seasons did.
 * 25) The show started to lose a lot of its viewers, mainly because of its unnecessary new characters coming and going.
 * 26) While this season have a good finale and would've end the Jessie franchise on a high-note. The show was renewed for more seasons despite many fans didn't ask for.

Redeeming Qualities

 * 1) The acting is still decent, even from the new cast.
 * 2) *Xander may be gone from the show, but at least his voice is still heard in the theme song (until season 6).
 * 3) Thankfully, unlike most bad seasons of good shows, none of the original characters (from seasons 1-2) have been flanderized in these seasons (specifically the Ross kids and Lou).
 * 4) Finn is a likable character, despite him being a rehash of Jorge from the first 2 seasons. And Lou is still likable like she was in the first 2 seasons, being a blessing in disguise as the only original character.
 * 5) While it's sad that Xander, Tiffany, Jorge, Griff, Gladys, and Hazel are gone, the show can still be enjoyable even with the new characters.
 * 6) It is the least bad of the show's worst seasons as the original creator and executive producers are involved and it still features the Ross Kids.
 * 7) The laugh track is still played appropriately, though it is played more often than the first two seasons.
 * 8) There are some good episodes.
