Taylor struggled to make friends at the beginning of the season. But Joseph was one of the first people to give her support. When The Leftovers formed, he made it clear that Taylor was going to be an equal part of the alliance after being mistreated and not just a shield.

Taylor and Joseph flirted and had a fake showmance in their gameplay. But he had ties with someone else outside of the game. 

Joseph was evicted during Dyre Fest. Fans got to catch up with him in a jury segment, and it looks like he’s rooting for Taylor to continue without him.

The Sept. 15 episode showed Monte Taylor and Taylor becoming closer. “Listen, here’s the reality, Turner’s in a loving relationship, Brittany’s married, Alyssa had her showmance with Kyle,” Monte said in the diary room. “Process of elimination, I just have to, have to ask Taylor to rub the part of my back that I can not reach to make sure that it’s moisturized.”

He admitted to enjoying the experience. “So Monte’s been a close friend of mine throughout this entire game,” Taylor said in the diary room. “He’s always had a great presence and a really great body. But it’s starting to stand out a little bit more now.” 

She said she always thought he was attractive but didn’t know where his intentions were. Monte said he was focused on the game, but they built a connection recently.

Monte and Taylor hung out in his bed, then cuddled and kissed. The personal trainer invited her to “soak in this bear heat” to get warm in bed. The show even played a bear noise. 

“It’s the slow burn you wanted, America,” Taylor said in the diary room. “Sorry, Joseph.”
