Elisabeth Filarski

Elisabeth DelPadre Filarski is a contestant from Survivor: The Australian Outback.

Elisabeth started the game as the self-appointed cheerleader of the Kucha tribe, and formed a close father-daughter relationship with Rodger Bingham, whom she deemed her "Outback Daddy". Despite the Kucha Alliance being down in numbers for the majority of the merge, she successfully avoided an early Pagonging by the rival Ogakor Alliance, contributing to the alliance's betrayal of a couple of its members and ultimately reaching the final four. However, the remaining members stuck together, and without the safety of the Immunity Necklace, she became the last original Kucha sent to the jury as well as the first castaway to be voted out on Day 39.

Survivor

Hasselbeck was a fan-favorite from Survivor: The Australian Outback, and was originally a member of the Kucha tribe. She was known for having a father-daughter relationship with Kucha tribemate Rodger Bingham, even vowing not to vote for him. Despite not being the strongest member of her tribe, she managed to contribute in challenges and her pleasant demeanor kept her in the good graces of the Kucha tribe. Like the rest of her tribe, her chances of winning drastically decreased after Ogakor succeeding in voting out Jeff Varner on Day 21. She did get along with the members of Ogakor though, as Tina Wesson and Keith Famie opted to keep her in the game longer than Jerri Manthey and Amber Brkich, due to past differences pre-merge. Nevertheless, she could not escape the Pagonging forever. She was the last remaining member of her tribe in the game before being voted off on Day 39 and finishing fourth overall. Her luxury item was a self-made headdress.

At the Final Tribal Council, as a juror, Elisabeth gave her jury vote to Tina, who would go on to win the game in a close 4-3 vote.
