Survivor

Haskell's most notable role is likely her role as 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, with Colleen ultimately joking that "it was all about the sex." At the merge, Pagong was surprised by Tagi's strategy of picking them off, and each member was consecutively voted out. Colleen was well-liked even by those who were eliminating Pagong members, so much so that she was the last remaining original Pagong member. Colleen was very popular with the American public, and Bryant Gumbel tagged her as "America's Sweetheart" due to her fair play, witty observations and girl next door appearance. In a moment not featured on the airing of Survivor, Colleen won an individual challenge that involved guessing how much weight she had lost since the show had begun. She won a chocolate bar, which she broke apart and shared with the other members of the merged tribe. Pagong has three definitions in Survivor television lore: the name of the beach (Pagong Pagong) where the tribe, whose buff color was yellow, resided; the tribe itself, in the Pulau Tiga season; and most significant of all, the fate that befell its members following the traditional merge period in the... Jenna Lewis (born July 16, 1977 in Franklin, New Hampshire) was a contestant on Survivor: Pulau Tiga (season one), finishing eighth, and Survivor: All-Stars (season eight), finishing third. ... Bryant Charles Gumbel (born September 29, 1948), is an American television personality for news and sports programs. ... The prototype of the girl next door is often invoked in American contexts to indicate wholesome, unassuming, or average femininity; this is contrasted with other stereotypes such as tomboy, valley girl, and slut. ...

Colleen is often attributed with masterminding one of the first counter-alliances, dubbed the "BBQ Alliance," when she won a barbecue dinner and chose Jenna Lewis to share it with. The two conjured a scheme to destroy the Tagi alliance and get ahead in the game. The attempted alliance was ultimately unsuccessful, as the girls failed to sway either of their intended targets (Kelly and Sean).

After being voted out, Colleen 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."

Due to her immense popularity, many expected Colleen 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."
