== Gameplay ==
=== New Beginnings ===
Colin had a great start on New Beginnings. He teamed up with Chelsea, Jessica, and Savannah on his tribe to gain a majority. Together, they worked to take out Gavin and Manny. However, he was backstabbed the next tribal, landing him in 11th place. He wasn't done, though. He had a lot more fight left in him.
=== Brains vs. Brawn ===
Colin started on the Brawn tribe, and do to the inactivity and terrible social skills of his tribe, he was able to align himself with Melia and Gavin and knocked out Walid and Maggie. Following the swap, Colin was put onto Mercury. with Lilly and Kate, two people he knew were friends. Luckily, he had his idol. It came in handy as Mercury lost immunity and he played it on himself, nullifying two votes and sending Kate home. He won the Kahoot reward challenge along with a $10 Amazon Gift Card. After this, the merge occurred. Colin realigned with Melia and Gavin and brought Kat into the alliance. He also made a fake one with both Manny and Maheen. Maheen informed Colin of his idol and so Colin orchestrated his blindside, sending him home in a 5-3 vote.
==== Bitmoji Party ====
The next immunity challenge was Colin's personal favorite, Bitmoji Party. He and Manny had an ultimate war with this challenge. Any free second of the day they got, whether it was in between classes or eating lunch, they battled it out for who could get the most wins. Eventually, Colin realized he can play in a separate group chat for hours. He used this trick of deception to win immunity with 134 wins! From here, his alliance targeted Maddy, but her idol bounced back and sent Gavin home.
==== Smooth Sailing ====
Despite losing Gavin, Lilly being a wild card as well as Colin's "alliance" with Manny served him well. Colin directed his allies to take out Maddy the next day and then he took out Manny the following day. Lilly was discarded at the final four and then when Colin won the final immunity, he took Kat with him over Melia. Colin sat with Kat in the finale, and he won the game by a 3-2 jury vote.
=== All Stars ===
Colin started off the season by building an alliance with Emilee Dunham. He knew that if they were able to pull in Maddy, they'd be unstoppable. They already had Simon, but unfortunately, he was taken out at their first tribal. Colin told Maddy about his idol to build trust, but this only backfired. Maddy had no interest in working with him. His closest ally, Emilee, was taken out next in a vote split. From here, Colin was able to talk to Shannon and Megan and now their intentions were locked on sending Maddy home before their merge. They thought they got their chance, but Maddy pulled out her own idol and used it to deceive Colin and blindside Shannon. At the merge, Colin has majority, but due to the auction, a super idol was played on Lizbeth, and Colin was sent home, placing 8th in All Stars. He voted for Maddy to win.
=== World Tour ===
==== Colin vs. Corri ====
Colin started off on the Favorites Tribe. Everything was going well for him until their tribe lost Unlimited Questions. He meant to text his alliance chat to affirm their plan, but he accidentally pulled a Simon Moment and texted the entire tribe. This effectively outed not only his alliance's target for Corri, but Maheen's vote for Lilly as well. This caused a lot of confusion. Corri deemed that the vote would be between her and Lilly, and by a close vote of 4-3-1, Corri survived. These two swapped onto Nakamura together. As Nakamura dominated every challenge, there was no worry about tribal. However, the tension between Colin and Corri remained. On Day 6, Colin won individual immunity, protecting him until the merge. With Kat and Kenzie, he yet again sought to take out Corri. However, with four votes against Kenzie, she ended up going home. Even with a majority, Corri would've remained safe as Allyson played her Midnight Idol on her. At the merge, Colin purchased the Las Vegas Trip, which could either have him risk his vote for double immunity or have a 50/50 shot at regular immunity. He aligned with Kat, Michaela, Shannon, and Anthony at the merge. Anthony played his legacy advantage on Colin, nullifying five votes. With four votes, Allyson went home. Colin still cast his vote for Corri in case Allyson had an idol. In the next challenge, Colin won immunity. Working with his alliance, he decided now was the time to finally end this feud, and Corri was sent home in a 6-2 revote against Shannon.
==== Dissolve ====
Colin stayed true to his alliance of five, and targeted Maheen and Wes next. Colin ended up using his Vegas Trip before it expired, but he was on the wrong side of luck and the advantage ended up being discarded. One after another, they both went out. Delaney was the only one left outside of the alliance, and nobody was talking to her. When Wide Awake occurred, she was amped to win. However, Colin tried his best to prevent her. The two ended up tying, and in the tiebreaker, Delaney prevailed and won immunity! At this point, his own alliance was forced to turn on one another. Luckily, Colin had the majority with Kat and Michaela staying by his side, and Delaney soon joining him in the vote. Four votes were cast against Anthony, but Shannon saved him with her Super Idol. As a result, Colin ended up getting the boot with two votes. He later voted for Delaney to win.
=== Resolutions ===
Entering a brand new era, Colin was placed on the Chromatica Tribe. He helped out his tribe in every challenge and served math skills in 21 Flags. He quickly allied with past winner Chelsea and best friend Katie to form Perfect Illusionists, which would later turn into a cult as the opposing alliance, Gaga's Bad Kids described it. Colin became involved in huge drama and controversy on Day 4, during Chaos & Frogs. There was discussion of an alliance with public enemy Ayesha Murphy and a whole marriage scenario, which was noted in Resolutions: The Complete Confessions. When losing a challenge, Colin worked with his alliance to blindside both Chloe and Giada, despite the latter being very bittersweet. Everyone merged on Day 9, and Colin's alliance grew to seven members.
At the merge, he and his allies attempted to take out the enemy, but Ayesha was constantly one step ahead. She played two idols at tribal, and Katie played her idol on Colin. However, Katie ended up being the one going home, and Colin lost one of his OG allies. Chelsea became his ride or die, and the two stuck it out until the end. Colin purchased an idol clue in the auction, and successfully found the idol! His new plan was to try and flush anything the others may have bought, and to use Lily as a sacrifice. Lily ended up being sent home in an 8-1 vote with no flushes. Even worse, Stella stole Colin's idol with their Knowledge Is Power. Ayesha beat out Colin in the next immunity challenge and another successful idol play had Melia walk out the door. On Day 13, things took a huge turn as after a discussion, Colin publicly exposed Ayesha. This became known as The Real Ayesha, which ultimately resulted in Ayesha taking herself out of the game. Colin won the next two immunities, continuing the trend where the Kahoot winner takes notes on the season. He worked with the others to eliminate Kat and Anthony as there was practically no longer a use for them. His ride or die won the final immunity challenge, and together they blindsided the biggest threat, Ashlee, in a 2-1-1 vote. Colin ended up winning the game with five votes to win. His win sparked controversy among fans and alumni, which was slightly touched upon in Resolutions (Podcast Episode). Overall, he marked his spot as the first two-time winner!
=== All Stars 2 ===
==== With Hollywood ====
With his legendary reputation in the game, there was zero debate that Colin would be present on All Stars 2. He was on the Hollywood Tribe, and had a variety of reactions to those on his tribe, most notably his best frenemy and ex-fiance, Ayesha Murphy. Very early on, Colin and Ayesha began chatting, and actually formed a genuine alliance between the two. The pair fully made amends. They strategized together and eventually brought in Kat and Wes for a majority alliance, creating The Hollywood Dream. The tribe lost the first challenge, and Llewellyn was easily voted out first. From then on, the tribe worked together and did not lose a single challenge until the swap, with the exception of the Silky Slide Puzzle. This loss resulted in the double tribal council with the Malibu Tribe. Hollywood decided to stick together and target Delaney on the other-side. The plan seemed set, however, the season six winner remained safe due to an idol play by Stella. In turn, Ayesha played an idol and protected Wes on Hollywood. The final result was a 5*-3*-2 vote where Michaela ended up taking the boot. In reality, it was all an elaborate play by Ayesha and Ailish, but the two girls kept it concealed and their tribe pride was stronger than ever. Meanwhile, Colin talked with members of the other two tribes in order to strengthen long-term relationships.
Unfortunately, Colin's close ally, Ayesha, was medically evacuated on the thirteenth day due to a high fever. It was an upsetting loss for all of Hollywood, but they survived, nonetheless. On Day 14, the tribes were shuffled, and Colin remained in Hollywood, but accompanied by new members from The Hills. Either way, he remained safe as their tribe absolutely crushed the new Hollywood gang. Colin worked very well with the new tribe, notably leading his tribe to complete victory in 21 Flags. With the way things were going, it was no surprise that Colin made it to the merge on Day 16. After losing immunity in Image Hunts, things took a turn for the worst. Josh Campoverde created the KYS alliance, and preached that Colin is a strong and dangerous player, and he needed to be taken out as a soon as possible. Building a following, Colin was blindsided that night with six votes against him. As the second member of the jury, he later voted for Kat to win.
