Colleen Marie Haskell is a contestant from Survivor: Borneo.
A member of the vivacious but ill-fated Pagong tribe, Colleen is considered to be Survivor's first ever "sweetheart." After the merge, she was the last surviving member of Pagong. Though the Tagi Alliance planned to target Kelly Wiglesworth at the final 6 instead, she went on to win immunity and Colleen was voted off for being the sole remaining Pagong member.
Colleen currently attends college at Miami Ad School where she is working to make a portfolio that she hopes will eventually lead to a job in creative advertising. Previous jobs include working as an intern for Arena Stage in Washington, D.C. and waitressing.
Born and raised in Bethesda, Maryland, she attended college at the University of Georgia in Athens where she was able to study abroad in London, England on a six month internship with the London Film Festival. Upon graduation, she spent two months in Ghana, West Africa followed by two months traveling in France.
Colleen describes herself as talkative, independent and a bit spacey. Her favorite topics at a dinner party are stories and jokes ("I still believe in storytime"). In her spare time, she enjoys traveling and cooking, and prefers to listen to talk radio. An avid lover of French films, she admits that Kevin Costner's "Robin Hood" can still make her cry.
Colleen currently resides in Miami Beach, Florida. Her birth date is Dec. 6, 1976.
Colleen 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 Greg and Colleen adamantly denied there was a romance, though Colleen joked that "it was all about the sex."
After the two tribes merged into the Rattana tribe, members of Pagong were surprised by Tagi's strategy of voting them out one by one at Tribal Council. Colleen was the last of the former Pagong members to be voted out. After being voted out, Colleen told the remaining castaways "Be nice, play fair" before her torch was snuffed. Once she was gone, Richard Hatch commented that she was "a wonderful person."
