Elisabeth Hasselbeck, "Survivor" (CBS)

Many fans of "The View" forget that the comely, feisty Elisabeth Hasselbeck originally came to public attention on "Survivor: The Australian Outback" in 2001. She came in fourth but made an impression with her telegenic looks. After she married football player Tim Hasselbeck in 2002, she hosted "The Look for Less" for the Style Network. She then auditioned for "The View" and rotated on the panel, starting in 2003 after Lisa Ling left. Hasselbeck has gone on to become one of the show's most popular and sometimes controversial panelists, often arguing conservative viewpoints, such as supporting the war in Iraq and opposing the availability of the "morning-after pill." She's also written two books about gluten-free cooking and is a mom of three. But after the Outback? "The View" is a walkabout.
