Early life and education

Donaldson grew up in Christoval, Texas. [1] He played high school football for and graduated in 1992 from Christoval High School. [3] He earned a college degree in business marketing from Texas Tech University in 1996. [3] [4] Then he briefly worked as an HMO's sales representative [1] and then became a self-employed car tuner [1] in San Angelo. [5] He moved his business to Dallas [5] in late 2000. [3]

Donaldson's father, an architect in San Angelo, and mother divorced a few years before Survivor. [3]

Survivor: The Australian Outback

Donaldson first appeared on Survivor: The Australian Outback (2001) as part of the Ogakor tribe, which was divided between two alliances: one led by bartender/actress Jerri Manthey, whose flirtations Donaldson grew weary of; [6] [7] and another including Keith Famie and Tina Wesson. His Texan flag was notoriously used as a rooftop for the tribe's camp. [5]

After two Ogakor members were voted off, [8] [9] in the season's fourth Tribal Council (and Ogakor's third), Manthey's alliance voted against Famie, but Donaldson voted alongside Wesson's alliance against a member of Manthey's alliance and singer-songwriter Mitchell Olson, leading to the 3–3 tie and then the 2–2 retie. Votes cast in prior Councils weighed in to break the deadlock. Famie was not voted before, but Olson was voted once, leading to Olson's elimination. [10]

When the Ogakor and Kucha tribes merged into the Barramundi tribe, ten overall contestants remained—five each of their own tribe. [a] Furthermore, the former Ogakor tribe was still divided between the two alliances. [11] One of ex-Ogakor members Keith Famie won the season's first Individual Immunity challenge, [12] [b] making ex-Kucha members unable to vote against Famie. In Barramundi's first Tribal Council, the ex-Ogakors, despite division among them, voted against an ex-Kucha member Jeff Varner, but ex-Kucha members, still unable to vote against Famie, voted against an ex-Ogakor member Colby Donaldson, leading to the 5–5 tie and then the 4–4 retie. To break the second tie, Varner was eliminated based on votes cast against him in prior Councils, while votes against Donaldson had never been cast previously. [13]

The ex-Ogakors held majority advantage and voted out another ex-Kucha member. [14] Then heavily disliked Manthey was voted off. [15] Then eliminations of other remaining ex-Kucha members [c] and another ex-Ogakor member Amber Brkich, who still aligned with Manthey post-merge, followed. [16] [17] When three players remained, Donaldson won the season's final immunity challenge, "Fallen Comrades", the quiz about eliminated contestants. [18] This was his fifth consecutive individual immunity win. [19]

As the only player eligible to vote while possessing the Individual Immunity necklace, Donaldson voted off Famie, whom Donaldson found unworthy to be one of the final two, [20] placing Famie third, and kept Wesson as promised. [21] [d]

In the Final Tribal Council, Donaldson and Wesson revealed onscreen to the jury their own core alliance that helped maintain the Ogakor tribe's strength. They both further revealed using and holding Famie as part of their voting strategy from Olson's elimination to the final three. [23] [24] Donaldson became the runner-up to winner Tina Wesson by the 3–4 jury vote. [e] For the runner-up placement, Donaldson earned $100,000 (equivalent to $172,000in 2023). [26] [f]

Donaldson later sold on eBay a Pontiac Aztek that he won in one of the season's reward challenges. [28]

[35] In the film, his character has marital issues and is the son-in-law of its main character (Mel Harris), a middle-aged newscaster who is fired from a news station for being too old and then, after makeover and plastic surgery, poses as a younger woman for her new job in another news station.

Donaldson competed in Survivor: All-Stars (2004) as part of the original Mogo Mogo tribe. [39] Mogo Mogo and Chapera absorbed the remaining members of the Saboga tribe, which dissolved after finishing last in a rowing challenge. Then Donaldson secretly arranged to oust the Borneo winner and another Mogo Mogo tribe member Richard Hatch, whom Donaldson perceived as a threat, making Hatch the fifth player eliminated. [40] After asserting leadership for Mogo Mogo, Donaldson was eliminated by the 3–2 vote due to his potential threat status, despite his efforts to oust The Australian Outback returnee Jerri Manthey. [h] [41] [i] At the reunion show, Donaldson was voted the sexiest Survivor male player. [42]

Donaldson competed for the third time in Survivor: Heroes vs. Villains (2010) as part of the Heroes tribe, [57] which early in the season lost its four members as result of losing four of five tribal immunity challenges. [58] After one Hero and one Villain were eliminated in the same episode, [59] when both tribes merged, ten players remained—five each from Heroes tribe and Villains tribe.

  4. ↑ Keith Famie stated that, if he won the "Fallen Comrades" immunity challenge, he would have voted out Donaldson as a potential threat.
