== Gameplay ==
=== Dynamic Duos ===
Josh debuted on the Pussy Tribe, opposite of his partner Kailani. He had a very unusual first impression to the game, due to his tribemates talking about bloody tampons and gaping holes the very first day. He was very fortunate, though, obtaining the Pussy Idol on the very first day! He was easily able to find himself in a powerful position within his tribe due to connections with players like Jada and Allyson. Josh had excellent challenge performance and leadership skills. The only moment he was at risk for the pre-merge was during the first Pussy tribal council, where Regan voted against him. Regan ended up leaving by a unanimous 8-1 vote that night. Josh carried during Everybody Is Here, but a conflict came into play when Melindah Taylor began to use the same series and characters that he was using. That day, Josh made it his goal to eliminate her after the challenge, and he did exactly that. She went home in a 6-2 vote, only receiving a sympathy vote cast by her friend Allyson.
By the merge, Josh became a strong member of Insomniacs, essentially leading the alliance socially. In addition, he was one of the most prominent and entertaining members of the entire Dynamic Duos cast. Through his constant beefing with Jada and denying his pink gun, there was no dull moment. After an easy vote for Maheen, things began to become more complicated as the cast dwindled. He and his alliance were able to convince Stella and Kathlyn to turn against the opposing alliance, Redemption Arc. As a result, Ayla was sent home in a 9-2 vote. As things began to look successful, a compromising situation arose. The two aforementioned contestants returned to their former allies and lines were drawn. At the next tribal council, the Insomniacs' target, Kathlyn, played an idol and nullified the votes cast against her. With quick thinking, Josh played his on himself, which also saved him. This resulted in a historic Gauntlet first where there were no votes cast for anybody. After a quick talk with his alliance, Josh was able to get Stella voted out that night and also recruit Ailish as an outside member of the alliance. Now knowing that he was a big target, he had to put his faith in his numbers. Everyone was loyal, but Kathlyn had the replacement idol at the next tribal. After nullifying votes, Josh ended up becoming the third member of the jury. He later voted for Jada to win.
=== All Stars 2 ===
==== The Hills ====
After his robbery in his debut, Josh returned to participate in All Stars 2. He was placed on The Hills tribe, and right away he got associated with Emilee Dunham and Anthony DeFilippo. At the same time, he was brought into an alliance consisting of Corri Crissinger and the Shameless Party trio. He was allied with his entire tribe but planned to remain faithful to the former group if tribal council occurred. On the very first day, he got a hold on The Hills hidden immunity idol! Josh worked really hard with his tribe to stay safe, and it was very successful for the most part. His input was very visible in Unlimited Questions, where he organized his tribe to value their points. The tribe fell short during the Scavenger Hunt. Regarding anime merchandise, Josh had made it clear multiple times that he would be the one to send it. However, Corri ignored his messages all together and sent hers at the same time, nullifying the items completely. The loss of these points ended up costing the tribe immunity. When it was time for tribal council, Corri was the obvious target. Meanwhile, Josh's other alliance tried to get Emilee out. As tribal approached, Lady, Ayla, and Corri decided to recruit Emilee and target Josh instead for being such a big threat. Emilee, however, was loyal and leaked the newfound information. Josh then played his idol, and Corri became the second to leave the game with three votes. After Corri's elimination, the tribe dominated the upcoming challenges. While Hollywood tended to finish first, they were able to stomp them in the Silky Slide Puzzle and avoid the double tribal. Josh scored very well in Melotika's Cyber Party, as well as helped create a compelling storyline and concept in Supersona. Before the tribe swap, The Hills had the most members at five.
==== Hollywood ====
Josh ended up swapping onto the Hollywood Tribe, sticking with Emilee and Ayla from his original tribe. The rest of the tribe consisted of Colin, Ailish, and Wes. Fortunately, Colin was known to be a huge help in challenges. The tribe won the first immunity challenge, being Celebrity Recognition. Josh suffered war flashbacks given the events of Chaos & Cum last season. Hollywood ended up thriving much to the help of the tribe as a collective. Josh really thought outside of the box here, and straight-up called Stella when the celebrities were sent, making it very difficult to participate. Colin's challenge ability really shined in 21 Flags, where he led his tribe to victory. During Life Research, Josh helped in the beginning of the day, trying to reach the answer. Ayla eventually came through, and the tribe won yet again. After three straight wins on Hollywood, Josh was sent into the merge, and things were only going to get harder from here.
==== King of LA ====
With ten players in the game, Josh's closest ally was Emilee. Unfortunately, Anthony was booted after the tribe swap. Josh's #1 ended up winning the first immunity challenge, and together they decided to create a plan. Joining forces with Ailish and Ayla, they created the KYS alliance. The goal was something that everyone is always terrified to do: blindside Colin. Through effective communication, Colin ended up getting voted out that night with six votes against him. This was the first time he was traditionally voted out ever since his debut on New Beginnings. In the auction, Josh won an Extra Vote with all his money. He won the next immunity challenge, and here he decided to switch things up once again. Using his experience from last season, he could sense the majority alliance with Shameless Party. Getting Ailish to play traitor once again, Karma was formed. With their five, they blindsided Lady at tribal council, taking The Hills idol out with her. On Day 19, Emilee won the Battle Royale, and Josh was targeted by Shameless Party. Karma decided to split votes in fear of an idol, and Josh used his advantage from the auction to create an equal split. This ended up saving his ass as Stella played her hidden immunity idol on Ayla, nullifying the votes of Wes, Kat, and Josh (Original). A deadlock tie occurred during the revote due to Ailish flipping back, and this bit her as she drew the foul rock and was eliminated. Josh expressed his discontent in All Stars 2: The Complete Confessions. Either way, there was no way to move other than forward. Fortunately, Karma held majority. Josh won the next two immunity challenges as Ashlee and Stella were easily voted out. A roadblock occurred on Day 23 as the only surviving enemy, Ayla, won immunity in Color Your World. Karma was forced to turn on one another, and by a vote of 3-2, Josh became the seventh member of the jury. He later voted for Emilee to win. His efforts and dominance did not go unnoticed, as he won both MVP and Villain for his exceptional gameplay!
=== Y2K ===
==== Comfort ====
Josh had previously suffered from two bizarre eliminations in the past, but he was back for a third attempt at the crown in Y2K as a member of the Favorites Tribe. Josh is practically known as a powerhouse player, especially during the pre-merge. He strategically led the Favorites through the Scavenger Hunt, and they managed to hit every single item on the list, including the credit card! By the second day, Josh already found himself in a great spot, aligned with practically every single member of the Favorites except for Ollie and Lady. Season 7 winner Jessica Gillooly made a safety net alliance in case they lost a challenge, which included herself, Josh, Anthony, Chelsea, and Logan. In addition, Josh joined an alliance with Stella and Kathlyn, which became known as DOMINATORS. Both alliances briefly talked, and they mutually agreed that Ollie would have to go if they lost, guaranteeing a stress-free first tribal council if it came down to it. Josh also found the Hilton hidden immunity idol on the first night! He continued his role of leadership, leading the Favorites to victory during Unlimited Questions. He eventually had to attend MASC for three days, but he still stayed active as much as he could and was able to score first in Music Mania! Doing so earned him a Sacrifice Idol, which was a special type of conditional idol that requires him to sacrifice his ability to vote at a tribal in order to activate it. Aside from excellent challenge performance, Josh had a great and entertaining social game, such as when he talked about complex sandwich orders and playfully shamed New York contestants for living near the city. After the third win on the tribe, Josh swapped onto Richie with his DOMINATORS ally Stella, and the winning streak would only persist.
==== Idol King ====
A reward challenge came first, being Tribe Pride. Stella took initiative in making the flag, where Josh was depicted as a pregnant woman giving birth to Nicole Richie. The flag was absolutely flamed, being one of the worst rated products ever judged in an artistic challenge. Fortunately, it was only a loss of a challenge advantage. Everybody Is Here was the next challenge, and Richie survived as Lohan absolutely flopped! The immunity winning streak began here, all the while Josh maintained healthy relationships. He was in a side alliance with Logan and as an added bonus; Ollie was also on Richie, serving as a safety net in case they had to attend tribal council! During That’s Hot, the entire tribe officially became fed up with Ollie as he was responsible for not submitting a dessert and instead talked about "weenie pics." Stella dominated Celebrity Recognition for the tribe, and later she worked alongside Josh in creating a perfect concept for Supersona, scoring first despite the HIV part! On Day 16, he merged onto Spears and quickly found the Spears Idol! He now entered the halfway point of the game with three idols in his possession.
==== Victory Road ====
By the merge, Josh had a clear plan to the end of the game. He wanted to get everybody he knows IRL out except for Leo, who joined the DOMINATORS and helped form the new alliance, The Ultimate Sigmas. He also knew he would have to get rid of Stella eventually as she was too powerful and planned on using two of his idols to save victims of a split vote and be the sole vote to send Stella home. For now, he was content with playing loyal. The easy vote for Ollie came first, which tallied at 9-2. Josh’s vote ultimately didn’t count as he sacrificed it to activate his conditional idol, but it made no difference. The auction came next, where Josh put his entire $500 on the second mystery item, as it has a reputable history of being a good advantage. He ended up winning a snack-sized bag of Cape Cod Chips. This absolutely ruined his life, and he considered homicide-suicide throughout multiple timelines as a result. He ultimately decided not to do that, though, and instead moved forward with the game. Josh even beefed with Logan during the auction about how math works, and he was in the right. Moving onto the next challenge, he was a huge asset in Family Feud as he got the Luxury Car top answer and contributed heavily, leading the team to immunity! He was also shocked by Leo's answers multiple times. Tribal council did not run as smoothly, though, as he orchestrated a vote split between Angel and Emily. Angel was the primary target, but unbeknownst was the opposing quartet led by Lady. The end result was Chelsea being taken out in a 4-3-3 vote. Despite the mistake, it was nowhere near detrimental as he wanted to get her out eventually. After tribal, he created propaganda via faux screenshots to incriminate Angel and Kai for being against The Sigmas. The lies knitted The Ultimate Sigmas closer together and led to the creation of a very funny video diary by Kathlyn in Y2K: The Complete Confessions. Emily won immunity next, but it would be carried over to the next tribal as Lady’s medical evacuation resulted in a cancellation. Kathlyn won the next immunity, and Josh worked with his alliance to target Angel at the upcoming tribal council, set to take place on his birthday.
==== March 24th ====
Josh knew what Logan was capable of, and taking out Angel would get him closer to finally being able to take him out and carry on with his plan to victory. Unfortunately, things didn't go as he had hoped. The special guest of the season, Kailani Farrell, (aka, Josh's duo from his debut season) was also one of his co-workers. He frequently talked about the game with her and she had him believe that she was not allowed to share any information. What he didn’t know was that no such rule existed, and it was completely fabricated as a means to extract information from him. Kailani had been leaking every single detail that Josh shared to Logan, and he became aware of Josh’s three hidden immunity idols. While sitting at the exact same table as Josh at his birthday dinner, Logan played his Knowledge Is Power to steal one of Josh’s idols and use it on himself. He later used his own for Angel. This prompted Josh to jump into action and use his idols on himself and Stella. All bases were covered, and the end result was a tie between Leo and Kai as they were the only players without immunity. Kai ended up taking the boot at the end of the night. The best part about the entire event was that Josh, Logan, and Kailani were all together in the same room while the lines were being drawn. Day 24 became known as the Double Birthday.
==== Nepotism ====
As soon as Logan made his move, Josh knew that he would have to stick with Stella as well as the other Sigmas to make it to the end of the game. Angel and Emily were also in the opposition. Fortunately, Kathlyn earned their trust and was able to leak their plans. He acquired the new Spears idol and used it on himself at the next tribal council to ensure Emily’s departure. On Day 26, he and the rest of the Sigmas organized a vote split, and Angel went home. Logan now knew of Kathlyn’s true allegiance and realized it’s him against the world. He did not step up to the task and was voted out unanimously as Stella went the extra mile and stole his vote. Josh had always been known to win immunity frequently, but his first win this season was the final challenge, Image Hunts. With only Sigmas left, the OG DOMINATORS reunited and Leo became the final member of the jury. He was now a finalist with Stella and Kathlyn, and it was unsure whether the jury would vote based off of fairness or favoritism. Votes were cast and read out on Day 30, and the end result was a tie between himself and Stella. He knew he was cooked as the responsibility fell to Kathlyn to break the tie, and he was right in his assumption that she would vote off of bias. Stella won and claimed a crown that rightfully belonged to Josh while he placed runner-up. He was awarded the MVP title for a second time. Even though he did not win, that does not mean that he was a huge contributor in making Y2K great.
