Elisabeth Hasselbeck (née Filarski; born May 28, 1977) is an Emmy- nominated American former reality show contestant of Survivor: The Australian Outback and current co-host on the United States daytime talk show
Early life
Elisabeth DelPadre Filarski was born in Cranston, Rhode Island. She is the daughter of Catholic school teacher/lawyer Elisabeth DelPadre, and architect Kenneth Filarski.[2][3] She has one brother, Kenneth Jr. As a child, she lived in Providence and Cranston, Rhode Island.
Hasselbeck was raised Catholic and attended St. Mary School in Cranston, followed by St. Mary Academy - Bay View in Riverside, Rhode Island where she graduated in 1995.
She then attended Boston College where she captained the women's Softball team for two seasons. With a concentration on large paintings and industrial design, Hasselbeck graduated with a Fine Arts degree in 1999.
Hasselbeck started working for Puma in 1998, while attending Boston College. After graduation, she worked for PUMA shoes as a member of its design team before her television career. She traveled to Italy and Belize. Reports differ as to whether her travels were for researching Puma products or to teach in Belize. Hasselbeck's interest in Survivor was initiated by a fellow shoe designer.
Personal life
On July 6, 2002, Filarski married her college sweetheart, Tim Hasselbeck. Tim was an NFL quarterback, but only played seven games in 2003 as a member of Washington Redskins.
Her husband has had a largely nondescript career in the NFL, shuffling between a number of teams until finally being cut as fourth-string quarterback from the New York Giants on September 1, 2007. He was then signed by the Arizona Cardinals. The couple have a daughter, Grace Elisabeth Hasselbeck (April 6, 2005), and son, Taylor Thomas Hasselbeck (November 9, 2007).
Career
In 2001, she was cast in Survivor: The Australian Outback, and was originally a member of the Kucha tribe. She was the last remaining member of that tribe in the game before being voted off on Day 39 and finishing fourth overall.
As her luxury item, she brought a self-made immunity headdress. At the end of the game, she was the most popular Survivor of the season among the fans, rating a 9.3 out of 10 in the online approval poll. Producers wanted her to return for the Survivor: All-Stars edition, but she was unable to attend because she was starting her tenure at The View at the time.
