Colleen Marie Haskell is an American television producer and actress. She was a contestant on the first season of the
American reality show Survivor.
Survivor
Haskell was a contestant on the original season of
Survivor. She was a castaway on the
Pagong tribe, a tribe composed primarily of young adults, especially when compared to the Tagi tribe. Early on, Colleen was linked with contestant
Greg Buis, and fellow Pagong member
Jenna Lewis speculated that the friendship had become a romance. Both
Buis and Haskell adamantly denied there was a romance, with Colleen ultimately joking that "it was all about the
sex."
After the two tribes merged, members of
Pagong were surprised by Tagi's strategy of voting them out by one at tribal council. Colleen was the last remaining original Pagong member to be voted out.
After being voted out, Haskell told the remaining castaways "Be nice, play fair." She said this just before her torch was snuffed. Once she was gone,
Richard Hatch commented that she was "a wonderful person."
Some expected Haskell to reappear on
Survivor during the
All-Stars edition in 2004. Producer
Mark Burnett later confirmed that Haskell was indeed offered a spot on the show but turned down the offer, saying that she "moved on with her life and just genuinely didn't want to go through that again."
