Donny Thompson was a houseguest and the 2nd member of Team America on Big Brother 16. Donny quickly became a fan favorite due to his genuine and kind personality. He was viewed as the underdog of the season as most of his allies were evicted early on. Donny was targeted many weeks for his ability to win competitions. His downfall came when his fellow Team America members, Derrick and Frankie turned against him. Donny was eventually evicted in Week 9, placing eighth.
