Colby Donaldson (born April 1, 1974) is an American actor and television personality, best known as the runner-up on Survivor: The Australian Outback and as the host for the shows Top Shot and Top Guns.
Donaldson's first appearance on Survivor was in the second season, Survivor: The Australian Outback. After being placed on the tribe Ogakor, he quickly formed a bond with fellow castaways Amber Brkich, Jerri Manthey, and Mitchell Olson. However, he also acted as the swing vote between the alliance between Olson, Manthey, and Brkich and the alliance between Tina Wesson and Keith Famie. Donaldson ended up siding with Wesson and Famie in the decision to eliminate Olson. After the tribes merged, Donaldson joined the rest of Ogakor in systematically eliminating the former members of the rival tribe, Kucha. Colby was also a forced to be reckoned with during the post merge phase, winning five individual immunity challenges in a row and three reward challenges.
Near the end of the competition, he won the final immunity challenge, over former allies Wesson and Famie. As a result, he was given the choice of whom to face in the jury vote. He had formed an alliance with Wesson early in the show and stated that he wanted to see that through. He also said that he did not want Famie to have a shot at winning the title. In the end, Donaldson cast his vote to eliminate Famie, who was generally disliked, and who Donaldson perceived as less deserving to win the title of Sole Survivor, should Donaldson not win himself. Ultimately, Donaldson finished in second place, with Wesson winning in a 4–3 vote, earning the votes from Brkich along with former Kucha members Nick Brown and Rodger Bingham.
He participated in Survivor: All Stars, six seasons later. He was on the Mogo Mogo tribe and was the fifth person voted out (but seventh overall to leave the game due to two contestants voluntarily leaving). At Survivor: America's Tribal Council, Donaldson was voted by an online poll as the "sexiest male castaway" out of all players from the first eight seasons.
