The Underdog: Josh Must Win

Imagine a reality competition where all but one contestant are faking it. That is the clever premise of E4’s "The Underdog: Josh Must Win." An ordinary, unsuspecting man named Josh believes he is competing on a popularity show called "The Favourite" against a group of confident influencers. In reality, these contestants are a secret celebrity council, including Nick Grimshaw, Amber Gill, and Pete Wicks, whose sole mission is to make Josh win. They must secretly rig challenges and manipulate votes to ensure the ultimate underdog is crowned the champion, all without him discovering the truth. The show is a funny and often tense social experiment about engineering a victory for a person who least expects it. Season 1 ended on April 09, 2024 sign up for a reminder.
