Alexander "Alex" Coladonato was a houseguest on Big Brother 9 (US).
Alex’s soulmate in the game was Amanda Hansen. Despite Alex being generally liked by the majority of the house, Amanda’s gossipy antics led to the pair becoming a large target and after being nominated alongside allies Matt McDonald and Natalie Cunial in week two, they were evicted in a unanimous 3-0 vote, placing 12th. Later, Alex was voted by America to be the "Mystery Houseguest" and was able to return to the game if a majority of the houseguests voted for him over James Zinkand. Alex only received three of the eight votes needed to return to the game, losing to James.
