Behind the Screen: The challenge: Total Madness - Josh Martinez

For over two decades, MTV's The Challenge has been the proving ground where reality TV's fiercest competitors come to cement their legacies. What started as a Real World/Road Rules spinoff has evolved into one of the most physically and mentally demanding competition series on television.

The franchise's expansion — with spinoffs in the USA, UK, Argentina, and Australia — speaks to a global appetite for the brand of cutthroat competition and alliance-driven gameplay that Vevmo's community has been tracking since 2007.

Unpopular opinion he a great competitor on dailies...

Other Shows: Big Brother 19 (Winner)

Apperance: 3rd

Elimination: 2 (2 losses)

Money won: $0.00

Bio: Few competitors have been as great a magnet for drama over the past two "Challenge" seasons as Josh. An eager politician who wears his emotions (and he has a lot of them) on his sleeve, Josh has pulled off major game moves, taken part in massive blowups and shed more than his share of tears. The one thing he hasn't done is win an elimination, meaning this season's new twist may prove to be Josh's ultimate test. Of course, with a million dollars on the line, don't expect Josh to go down without a fight. He stands as great a chance as anyone to reach his first Final. Just be prepared for plenty of fireworks along the way -- and more tears.

Decided to watch WOTW2 fully and Josh is so annoying in the episode he threw Wes into elimination. I hope his Challenge Career is done after this season.

im surprised laurel still wanted to work with him after he jumped up and down like a little girl at even mentioning throwing wes in.

That being said, i think he at least surprises in some ways being a wildcard. I thought he was just going to play paulie's game and be protected all season

Bless his pathetic heart...poor thing.. I hope he will be ok.

Time for a break meatball!

PinkRose#11

He is a great teammate he never screams or yell when ppl are holding him back

deeper#12

He's pretty damn good at challenges. Underrated in dailies but not so great at elims or purges so far 

Dreamdoll#13

After the first two episodes I finally see that he's a very good competitior. I guess him being the first propsect to get purged is why I never see he's good lol. But he sucks at eliminations

MalikOnFleek#14

I feel like he only did 2 eliminations?? for people to say he sucks at them lmao and 1 was a debatable rigged?

PinkRose#15

So far he has been calm this season

Anon23432534534...#16

Him fessy and rogan bombing the puzzle was funnny

People overrate stats and ignore context. Like If Josh had went in and beat some scrubs like Sean and Idris people wouldn't say this but since he's lost both times, even against strong people, he must suck at them. 

venomedglare#20

He's also a great swimmer too! That would be his strong suit in a final

Dreamdoll#21

Why is he trying so hard to make him and Wes rivalry a thing? It's one-sided and embarassing Sad

AshtonMartin#22

I think it's because he realizes this is his 3rd season and he doesn't really have a solid storyline with any other player so he needs something if he wants to be asked back.

Imo people always drag Joss for being boring but I can't tell you anything Josh has done in his 3 seasons that's been memorable. At least Joss is hot

I know Swaggy probably doesnt vote for him but it was embarassing from Josh to just not vote in Wes after everything

I dont mind the loss to Jordan but losing 3-0 the same way each time was bad, he never adapted 

SeauxMtv#25

Every time I look at Josh I just wanna laugh he looks so ******* goofy and the way his head is shaped sends me

Facts. Josh is a complete waste. The only reason we give him any sort of props is because we expected him to be a complete flop and he's turned out to be slightly better than expected. He's still definitely below average though and would lose most eliminations to most guys and would definitely flop in a final too. Male Nany but less attractive and more annoying is how I would describe him.

Y'all have to see the way he speaks on live like he's a super vet after 3 showings

At least Joss had a budding romance with Rogan which colored, albeit faint, picture of him having some semblance of a personality.

A stooge to the vets, not a single backbone in his body. It's easy for anyone to go against Wes that doesn't necessarily paint them as people with cahonas.

Chicken_breast#30

King!

melm3#31

I keep rewatching the Josh/Wes tribunal clip. Lol He better do SOMETHING this season otherwise keep his *** at home please.
