Colby Donaldson is an American television actor, best known as the runner-up on Survivor: The Australian Outback and as the host for the show Top Shot. Donaldson was born in Christoval, Texas, and earned a degree in business marketing at Texas Tech University, where he was a member of the Phi Delta Theta fraternity. Before becoming an actor, Donaldson owned and operated a welding business, which continues to this day. He enjoys working on hot rods, hunting, and fishing. Donaldson's first appearance on Survivor was in the second season, Survivor: The Australian Outback. Near the end of the... competition, Donaldson won the final immunity challenge, over Tina Wesson and Keith Famie. As a result, Donaldson was given the choice of whom to face in the final two. Donaldson had formed an alliance with Tina 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.
