Criticism of Josh’s treatment of Natalie in 90 Day: The Last Resort
Background on Josh and Natalie’s relationship
Josh and Natalie, the only unmarried couple in the group, have a history that includes multiple breakups and attempts at reconciliation. Natalie had expressed a desire for a committed relationship with Josh, while the latter had been reluctant to fully engage with her emotionally and introduce her to his family.
Despite these struggles, Natalie remained hopeful, with Josh promising her a deeper commitment and greater support. He assured her he would help with her career and personal life if she agreed to attend the retreat. In a confessional, Natalie explained in a 90 Day: The Last Resort confessional,
“I wasn’t even sure that I will be on this retreat with Josh because we were on and off. He convinced me... he was like, ‘Natalie, I swear to you, I love you a lot, you're the type of woman I want to be with.'"
She added that Josh had begged her to attend the retreat, even crying and making promises to secure her participation. Explaining what Josh additionally said, she explained,
"We just need to work on our relationship, and I promise I will bring you to my home, I will give you more time, I will help you more with your work, I will do so much for you. Please give me a chance.’”
Fellow cast's criticism of Josh’s behavior
During the episode, Jasmine highlighted her concerns about Josh’s behavior towards Natalie. She emphasized that although Natalie sometimes reacted intensely, Josh’s actions were inappropriate and uncalled for. She stated,
"I agree with her. He’s such a jerk like to Natalie. I feel bad for her even though she’s crazy...Even though she’s crazy... we all have our flaws, so she doesn’t deserve the way he has been to her."
Josh’s behavior during the retreat raised concerns among several cast members. Ariela, in a 90 Day: The Last Resort confessional, explained,
“People that love crazy like he likes that... he likes that crazy love or that crazy admiration.”
She suggested that Josh might be drawn to the drama but also noted that his emotional responses were rooted in his past experiences. She speculated that Josh had been "the guy who was never the popular kid" and that now, as an adult, he sought validation through his behavior. She emphasized,
“When he was young, he was like one day I’m going to grow up and I’m going to be cool, and then that’s his whole persona.”
Jasmine echoed these thoughts, explaining,
"He was never like the popular kid or anything, and now that he grow up, he feels like... exactly I agree, I agree with that."
The two cast suggested that his current behavior could be an attempt to assert control or gain approval through the power dynamics in his relationship with Natalie.
The confrontation and aftermath
During the heated confrontation between Josh and Natalie, Josh's remarks further fueled the tension between the two. He emphasized his decision to leave, stating,
“I got to go. Good luck with everybody. I hope that you apologize to everybody because they deserve it.”
When a 90 Day: The Last Resort producer asked about what happened, Josh responded by saying,
“She’s delusional. That’s what happened.”
These statements underscored Josh's frustration and dismissal of Natalie’s perspective in the argument. The 90 Day: The Last Resort episode concluded with the unresolved tension between Josh and Natalie, highlighting the ongoing struggles within their relationship.
