‘Destination X’: Josh Martinez Talks About His Shocking Elimination & Wanting Redemption

Josh Martinez was eliminated from a reality show after incorrectly guessing the group's location in Italy during a map room challenge.
The elimination happened because Josh trusted a last-minute suggestion from teammate Rick that the location was Milan instead of the correct Rome.
Josh struggled with trusting others, feeling distant from certain teammates, and adapting to confinement on the bus, which affected his gameplay and relationships.
Josh said, "Don't trust the guy," about Rick but later admitted he did not blame Rick and recognized his own failure to trust his gut.
Josh reflected that not stepping up and rushing his decisions hurt him, but he appreciated the fast bonds formed and expects future eliminations to be equally surprising.
