Profile

 * Tribe Designation: TBD
 * Current Residence: Brisbane, QLD
 * Occupation: Dentist
 * Season 01 Contestant You Are Most Like: Aaron. it's a little bit of an unpopular opinion, but I believe he was the best strategic player of Season 01. I hope I don't have to go down the villainous path that he did, but I'll do what I have to do.

Doctor Colin is a dentist who operates his own practice in Northern Brisbane. Colin is a family man, married to his wife Karen for twenty-six years, the pair have two children Austin, an aspiring writer and Heidi, a dental student.

''I've been very blessed in my life, I've had a lot of moments that I'm very proud of, graduating, climbing the Great Wall, finishing the New York City marathon, opening my own dental practice. But the achievement I am most proud of is my family. My wife is a truly wonderful woman, we make such an incredible team and my children are both intelligent and capable well adjusted young people, who I am very proud of.''

Colin has come prepared for the physical aspect of Survivor. He is an avid hiker, camper and self-confessd gym-junkie who likes to swim 2.5 kilometers a day and run marathons in his spare time.

''My wife had a "come-to-God" talk with me about twelve years ago, I was almost forty and morbidly obese, she was worried for my health. My wife has always been active, so I just started doing things with her, not only did my health improve, but so did my marriage, it was the single best choice I've ever made, apart from marrying Karen of course.''

As far as Survivor goes, Colin is a fan. He loves the strategy of it all, but he doesn't want any real world feelings to get hurt in the process.

''I'm going to be honest here and admit, I do not need the money. I am already pretty well-off, so for me, I'm out here to play a game. I want to push myself physically, make new friends and pull off some big moves, win, lose or draw, I'm here to have fun, I'm not playing for sheep stations. I'll probably clash with people who are nervous to make moves because they need the money, which is just hard for me. I don't want anyone to be broke, but this is a game, not a charity.''
