"I feel amazing. I couldn't be happier," Josh, who lost to 19-year-old Melanie Amaro, said after the finale. "It's been an amazing process to be a part of, I've met so many incredible people. I feel like the future's bright and everything I've done in my life has led to tonight. It's a turning point in my life and now it starts. Now I'm ready to get to work."
