Richard Hatch Sue Hawk
Hatch was involved in an incident with another previous Borneo player, Sue Hawk, who reappeared in the same season as part of the Chapera tribe, before to his elimination. Hawk later alleged that Hatch’s genitals touched her when he passed her on the balancing beam mini-game during one of the tribe immunity challenges. Hawk voluntarily retired from the game the next day because she was too distraught to continue. Hatch and Hawk discussed the event in the February 27, 2004, episode of The Early Show, which aired the day after the Survivor episode.
Richard Hatch Survivor
When he first appeared on Survivor, Hatch was a corporate trainer and consultant for his own company, Tri-Whale Training. Onscreen, he came out as gay, went naked on several occasions, and used resources to catch tasty aquatic critters underwater. He defended, established, and led an alliance with his remaining Tagi tribal members, who appeared incapable of winning on their own.
Hatch, Rudy Boesch, and Sue Hawk plotted to vote Kelly Wiglesworth out when only four players remained, but the plan was scrapped after Wiglesworth won an Individual Immunity task dubbed “Fallen Comrades.” Hatch withdrew from the season’s final Immunity challenge, leaving Boesch and Wiglesworth to compete. Wiglesworth defeated Boesch in the challenge and retained Hatch in the hopes of defeating him in the finals. By a 4-3 jury vote in the final Tribal Council, Hatch was crowned “Sole Survivor” and awarded $1 million and a Pontiac Aztek SUV. The Daily Herald’s television critic Joel Reese credited Buis’s “pick-a-number” method.
Hatch competed again in All-Star 2004 as a member of the Mogo Mogo tribe. He caught tasty sea creatures with available resources, like he had done previously. Mogo Mogo grew tired of his pranks, attitude, and continuous nudity. As a result, he was the fourth person of the season and the first member of the tribe to be voted off, finishing fourteenth.
