1st: Jessie herself says she will basically lose her mind in panic if she doesn't talk. Just because the guy she finds attractive and is currently right up behind her is the dominating subject at the forefront of her thoughts, doesn't detract from her character or the situation's sense of realism.
2nd: to suggest that no real person would behave in such a way in a crisis or other life-threatening situation is dismissive of all of the real people who have used humor and/or excessive dialogue to cope with dire situations. My cousin is one of those girls who won't stop talking in a desperate situation that "you would think" would require calm and focus.

As for needing to be rescued, it's just one of the scenes that wanted to be replicated from the original. It doesn't speak to anything deeper.
