Survivor[]
Colby was chosen to participate in Survivor: All-Stars, where he was on the Mogo Mogo tribe. Right away, Colby told his tribe that he didn't trust anybody. The tribe came in second in the first two Immunity Challenges, but they faced a setback when Jenna Morasca quit the game after the first two Tribal Councils.
After a shocking tribe absorption, the tribe gained former Saboga members Ethan Zohn and Jerri Manthey. Colby liked the idea of having a former winner on his tribe to target, and he also liked being reunited with his former Australia tribemate in Jerri. The tribe lost the next Immunity Challenge, and they unanimously agreed to vote out Richard Hatch, who Colby didn't wish to work with due to his reputation and lack of trust. His comments at that Tribal Council regarding certain players coasting, and a follow up conversation with Shii Ann Huang, strained his relationship with her.
The tribe ultimately lost the next Immunity Challenge, and it was clear it was either Colby, Ethan, or Jerri going home next. Colby made a deal with Ethan that Jerri had to go next, and the two cast their votes for her, while the rest of the tribe considered Colby as a strong, physical threat in the possibility of a merge. Furthermore, Jerri was motivated by revenge as Colby had voted her out in their original season. Lex ended up siding with Jerri and Shii Ann as Colby was voted out in a 3-2 vote and finished in twelfth place.
At the Survivor: America's Tribal Council special, Colby was in the final four for Fan Favorite Player of the season but ultimately lost to Rupert Boneham. He did, however, win the award for "Sexiest Male" of the first 8 seasons.
