Donny started off the game by laying low, sticking with the veterans and voting with the group. However, he was nominated as a pawn Week 4, causing him to step up. He won the next Power of Veto, along with two others the remainder of the season. He stayed off the block until the final day, due to his loss of the final Head of Household competition. Although he lost, Donny was chosen by Dominique Cooper to go the final two. His kind-heart, strategic gameplay, and competition wins ultimately granted him a unanimous win by the jury.
