The Australian Outback's golden boy, Colby Donaldson went on a challenge tear that's still cited as a gold standard — five straight individual immunities down the stretch. With the win in hand at the final immunity, he made the most romantic-and-ruinous decision in Survivor history: he took Tina Wesson to the end instead of the more beatable Keith.
The jury rewarded Tina 4-3, and Colby's loyalty likely cost him a million dollars. He never recaptured the magic across All-Stars, Heroes vs. Villains, and a Survivor 50 return, but the Outback run cemented him as one of the show's original heroes.
