Colby Varela

Colby Varela was a houseguest in Big Brother 5.

He was involved in the Project DNA twist where he learned he was competing with his long-lost sister, Caitlin Ray. Colby also had a showmance with Samantha Hughes. He was initially part of the Man Clan alliance, but flipped on them in Week 4 and joined the Family Pack alliance. Colby and his sister were nominated as pawns so Courtney Allen or Jessica Allen could be backdoored. After his former ally Zach Lamb didn't use the veto, either him or Caitlin would be evicted. His alliance tried to save him, but Zach created an opposing alliance to evict Colby. Ultimately, he was evicted in a 4-3 vote, placing 10th.
