Josh was a player in season three, The Butler Games: Ride or Die.

## The Butler Games: Ride or Die

Josh entered the game alongside Ride Or Die and bestie, Katie. He is most remembered for being the unfortunate victim of the Ride or Die Twist. In the third round, his partner was voted out of the game, and as a result, Josh received the 'I volunteer as tribute' punishment sending him out of the game instead.

He was able to battleback into the game in the Know It All: Play Or Pass challenge and instantly faced the double elimination. He had found a hidden immunity idol earlier in the evening and confided in Natalie and Tom that he intended to use it to save himself. The Power 6 alliance then caught wind of the plan, and voted Josh's number one, Katie, out of the game instead.

He suffered the Ride Or Die twist again when Lindsey and Tom won the Ride or Die Advantage and could remove any player of their choice from the game. As an underdog, who fought to get back in the game, they felt Josh too big of a threat if he was to make the final, and chose to end his game just shy of the seventh round.

## The Butler Games: Blood vs Water

Josh started the game on the Water tribe, where Barnie quickly approached him to form The H3O Alliance along with fellow water tribe member and season 3 alumna, Lindsey.

After losing the first tribal challenge, The Egg Hunt, Josh was rallied by Emma to vote Iain or Barnie out of the game. However at the last minute, Barnie was able to convince his alliance members to vote with him to eliminate Emma from the game instead, as she was considered to be a more strategic player than Iain.

In the second round, Josh was convinced by Barnie to throw The Stack Exchange tribal challenge, in order to eliminate new Water tribemate, Dan, from the game. After losing the challenge, Josh followed through with the plan, but was shocked when Dan played the Legacy Idol, sending Barnie out of the game instead.

In the third round, Josh was the source of great controversy due to a cheating scandal in the Scrabble Scramble tribal challenge. When the time ran out, any letter that did not make it into the bowl did not count, however Josh returned with a letter after the time had gone, he then passed it to Iain who sneaked it into the bowl. Several members of the Blood tribe witnessed this, in particular Martyn and Katy, who demanded that Water was punished for breaking the rules. After deliberation, it was decided that one letter would be removed from Water at random. In the double elimination vote which followed, Josh cast a vote to eliminate Martyn from the game, but this vote became void when Martyn played an immunity idol.

Josh was the only player who cast a vote to eliminate Rich in the re-vote, with all other players voting to eliminate Katy instead.

He remained on the Water tribe following the tribal switch and competed with them in the Battleflip tribal challenge, winning and securing his place in the game.

Josh was the first player knocked out of the Blow Ball immunity challenge in round five, losing to Dan who eventually won the immunity. Josh believed there were other targets in the game, and laid low during this round despite hearing his name mentioned during vote discussions. Josh was informed of the inpending blindside against Barnie, and voted along with the blood tribe to eliminate the battlebacker.

After receiving two votes to be eliminated in the previous round, Josh felt he was in trouble. He chose to compete in the Dice, Dice, Baby immunity challenge and was able to outlast his competitors, winning himself individual immunity. He was not informed this time which was the vote was going, and unsuccessfully cast a vote to eliminate Martyn from the game.

In the final tribal switch, Josh remained on the Water tribe along with Kate and former Blood tribemate, Martyn. They competed alongside the jurors in the CorrectFOUR challenge. Josh stayed out of the controversy surrounding this round, which resulted in his team losing at the tiebreaker question.

Katy chose not to use her power of veto to save him, and instead saved Kate, knowing that Rich had an idol and condemning Josh to elimination.

Josh was eliminated with only one vote cast against him, as the only player remaining without immunity.

In the final vote, Josh voted for Chris to be crowned the winner of The Butler Games: Blood vs Water.

## Awards

In season three, Josh received the 'Cursed' award for being the unluckiest player in season three. Josh suffered through all the twists this season, having received the 'I volunteer as tribute' Ride or Die punishment, eliminating him from of the competition in place of Katie, only to return to the game and be eliminated again by the Ride or Die advantage. He only played in one round where he was not nominated for elimination.

in season four, Josh was awarded the 'Consistency is Key' award for history repeating itself. In both the third and fourth season, Josh was eliminated just shy of the semi-final with just one vote cast against him. In the third season, it was the 'Ride or Die' advantage which eliminated him, and in season four it was due to an idol being played at a double elimination.

## Trivia
