SURVIVOR Host: Hi Colby! Thanks for being here today. Are you ready to take some questions?
Colby: Absolutely.

miranda: Hi Colby. I was so sorry you had to suffer the wrath of that scorned witch, Jerri. I was so looking forward to see you whip Rob's butt in individual Challenges. Anyway, is it true that you didn't realize until last night that you had a huge target on you?
Colby: I knew that I would at some point be a target. I didn't think they would vote me out so soon. I felt like smartest thing we could do as a tribe was remain strong. Voting me out certainly doesn't strengthen the tribe. I too would have enjoyed going toe to toe with Rob. And I have to laugh about your comment regarding Jerri. Talk about having an axe to grind.

Yaelle: Colby, you seemed a lot less vocal and had a lot less confessional time than when you were on SURVIVOR: THE AUSTRALIAN OUTBACK. Was that a conscious decision because you didn't want the attention you were getting when you got back from Australia?
Colby: I think a lot of it had to do with the fact that you are playing a game filled with All-Stars. There are a lot of great players with great things to say, so players do not get as much airtime as they did on their first series.

Scorpio: Hi Colby, the show won't be the same without you. Who did you think was playing the best game while you were on the island, and does your opinion change when you see what they air on TV?
Colby: Thank you for the compliment. Watching the show on TV allows me to see what was happening over at Chapera. I thought Kathy was playing well during the game. I now see how much control Rob has over on his side. You should know, it is just as much fun to watch the show as a player as it is for you to watch it as a viewer, because we never knew what was going on if we did not see it.

Colby_Done-aldson: What was your prepared Jerri speech? Come on, we won't repeat it, we promise.
Colby: (Laughs) I really do not even know now; I just know I would have liked to see her exit last night. Unfortunately, she will always be able to brag about outlasting me on ALL-STARS. But at least you and I do not have to live with being Jerri Manthey.

werd: How do you feel about the fact the best players can't win in this edition because they are perceived as threats and are eliminated first?
Colby: I would like to say it is not fair, but this is a game that is simply just not fair. I had success in OUTBACK playing the game the way I did. Unfortunately, there was no way to hide from others' perceptions in this game. I wish I would have made it to the merge and had a chance to compete on my own. It will be interesting to see what type of players make it to the end.

MaineCub: You have to admit, Colby, that that was a brilliantly executed maneuver on Lex's part. Did you see it coming at all?
Colby: I was surprised that Lex voted for me last night. But the only way we'll know if that was "brilliant" is to continue watching and see how well it serves him down the road.

LauraineFromMass: After watching the shows, do you think Kathy would have voted against you as well?
Colby: I would hate to speculate, but I know she and Lex were pretty tight. If she had not voted for me last night, it probably would have been at the next Tribal Council. But then, I guess she is the only one who can really answer that question.

ColbyChick: Colby, please sum up each member of your tribe in one word. By the way, you're the greatest!
Colby: Thanks so much for the compliment. Shii Ann: passive; Kathy: savvy; Ethan: competitive; Lex: desperate; Jerri: unhappy.
