Colby Donaldson said goodbye to Survivor after being eliminated during the Blood Moon twist in Season 50. It was his fourth time playing, and he got emotional at tribal council as he discussed his legacy in the game, which began 25 years ago when he was named runner-up of Season 2.
Survivor completely changed the trajectory of Donaldson’s life, as it helped him “[carve] out a 20-year career in the television business,” he tells TV Insider and Swooon. Plus, the show is what indirectly led to him meeting his wife, Britt Bailey.
