Survivor's Colby Acts Up

He may have lost out on Survivor's $1 million booty — twice — but Colby Donaldson still has that winning smile to fall back on. In fact, the hunky Texan has parlayed those good looks into an acting career, recently landing a memorable guest stint on HBO's Curb Your Enthusiasm.

Survivor's Colby Crushed

Colby Donaldson thought his leadership ability and winning smile could score him victory on Survivor: All-Stars.

I didn't see it coming — the logic didn't make sense to me to start eliminating the strength of a tribe so soon.
