Elisabeth Hasselbeck, perhaps better known by her maiden name of Elisabeth Filarski (born May 28, 1977), is an American who worked as a footwear designer and was in the final four in the television program Survivor: The Australian Outback (spring 2001 season, the second installment of Survivor). She is currently a co-host on the daytime television talk show The View.
Since her appearance on Survivor, she has married (in July 2002) her college sweetheart, current New York Giants backup quarterback Tim Hasselbeck. On April 6, 2005, Elisabeth gave birth to the couple's first child, a girl. The couple named their daughter Grace Elisabeth Hasselbeck.
As a child, Filarski lived in Providence and Cranston, Rhode Island. She spent time in Belize teaching in the rainforest and spent three weeks in Italy developing products for her job. She then attended Boston College, then moving to Newton, Massachusetts.
At Boston College, Elisabeth was a 1997 and 1998 Orientation Leader. She also played softball at BC and captain the team.
From 1999 to 2002, Elisabeth hosted the Style Network documentary-style style program Stylemakers. She also has occasionally hosted The Look for Less. In 2003, Elisabeth was one of a number of women who guest-hosted to replace outgoing The View co-host Lisa Ling. Elisabeth was then among the last few contenders, and was finally chosen by the ladies (in a Survivor-style Tribal Council) as the new co-host.
Producers wanted her to return for the Survivor: All-Stars edition, but she was unable to attend because of her commitment to The View.
Elisabeth represents the conservative position on The View. She was a supporter of President George W. Bush's reelection campaign and delivered a primetime speech at the 2004 Republican National Convention.
