Colton Cumbie was One World's lightning-rod villain, an Alabama college student who turned camp life into theater with his openly mean-spirited, take-no-prisoners approach. In a season where the men and women started on the same beach, he seized control of the Manono tribe and engineered one of the show's strangest sequences: with his side holding the numbers, he handed his hidden immunity idol to a rival and then voted out his own ally Bill Posley purely because he didn't like him. The game never got to punish him for it — a flare-up of appendicitis forced a medical evacuation in thirteenth, pulling him before the merge.
He returned for Blood vs. Water with his fiancé Caleb Bankston, and the second run was even shorter: seven days in, no longer enjoying himself, Colton quit the game outright and walked, finishing nineteenth. A polarizing, undeniably memorable two-time player whose Survivor story is as much about how he left as how he played.
