As someone who is a fan of Big Brother, The Challenge, and most recently, The Traitors, there is something to be said about seeing a familiar face show up across all three shows. And for a while now there has been discussion of where else we could potentially see Josh Martinez, who has been on both The Challenge and Big Brother, show up.

For a lot of viewers, we see Josh as the loud, brash player who at one point used banging pots to make a point with some of his fellow reality TV players. And even on The Challenge, he has proven that he can get loud when he wants to.

However, we have also watched as Josh has turned into a true competitor on The Challenge, He is no longer just a Big Brother crossover player. He is truly a Challenger. But does that mean we want to see him on The Traitors?

Do we want to see Josh Martinez on The Traitors?

Personally, I don't want to see Josh on The Traitors. Unlike with CT, Bananas, and Trishelle, I don't think he has the same presence. And considering Johnny Bananas didn't even last a full night in the castle, I think Josh might end up in the same boat.

I honestly think that it would be too much to have him going from Big Brother to The Challenge and then onto The Traitors, simply because I don't think he has the right "it factor" for that particular show. Are there other reality shows that we wouldn't mind seeing Josh show up on? Absolutely.

While I don't think Josh Martinez is truly a villain, I could see him being on E's House of Villains because of his antics over the years. Or if we want another hardcore competition series, he would be great on The Amazing Race.

I think when it comes to The Traitors, Josh doesn't have the ability to be an under-the-radar player. I don't see him being able to sneak around the castle, infiltrate different groups with ease, or even get along with enough people to stick around long-term. And honestly, it is one of those shows where I think the cast matters even more than most when it comes to the enjoyment factor.

Maybe it is me, but I think there are plenty of other players from The Challenge or even Big Brother that would be a better fit for the series.
