Josh Matanane

Josh was a castaway on Essential Survivor: 
==Yemen==
Starting out on Mahjuz, Josh easily could hide in the background with the likes of Neil on his tribe. In Yemen, he wasn’t the most social player or the best tribemate, but he still managed to make it to the merge. 
Noting Neil’s OTT behavior, Josh wished to take him to Day 39 by day 2, and making close allies with Zak and Preston, people with influence on the tribe, he seemed safe for when the introverts eventually went to tribal council.
With the second challenge, Josh was the main contributor to the challenge, even speculating that his fellow tribemates were trying to throw in order to get out the self appointed tribe leader, Neil. After they lost, talks of Neil and an idol emerged, and the power alliance discussed splitting votes between Neil and Nic, and Josh was assigned to vote for Nic. After Neil played his idol and the split idol play a success. 
The next two pre-swap tribals were simple, Neil was a huge target and Essence being a liability allowed for Josh to skate by easily. Come the swap, with an easy 3-2 majority, Josh sat pretty with his tribes winning the first two challenges. After losing the 3rd challenge, Terry and Cass  targeted Josh for his inactiveness. Luckily, Preston, Josh and Cedrick  stuck together as a tribe after an introvert had been voted out on Munfatih, desperate to gain a majority, sending Cass home. 
After losing yet another challenge, it should have been an easy 3-1, and Josh assumed so, submitting his vote for Terry. Yet Terry wasn’t giving up on a fight, managing to convince Josh to vote for Cedrick, believing Terry’s lie that there were intentions to send Josh out at 12th, and then again convincing Josh to vote out Preston. Come tribal, Preston played an idol and the plan failed, sending Terry out.
The merge was uneventful for Josh and with Prestons walk, Josh didn’t have any enemies left. But his inactiveness and lack of a solid social game, he was an easy target for those who hadn’t been on a tribe with him yet which hurt him immediately . Clued into the Alison blindside due to her idol(s), and his supposed allies working both sides, telling Alison that the vote was Josh, an idol play was the downfall of Josh, sending him home 6*-4.
