Talk:Richard Hatch (Survivor contestant)

message: What is the relevance of the fact that Hatch bought real estate in Nova Scotia in 2002? He's a real estate dealer; he undoubtedly has made many such purchases. MK2 02:48, 22 August 2005 (UTC)

message: Who has custody?
Officially, it's none of our business.  I read somewhere though that his sister usually takes care of his son while he is doing reality TV shoots and stuff. Whippletheduck (talk) 06:15, 23 July 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: Is it really none of our business?  Don't all biographies have a section relating to the person's known family life?  Hatch's son was shown on Episode 8, Season 1 of Survivor.  Wouldn't that merit a sentence such as "Hatch has one known son" or something like this?--Petzl (talk) 15:47, 24 May 2011 (UTC)
thread_title: Son?

message: I just stumbled across this article, so this will be a casual viewer's perspective: The second paragraph mentions him forming an alliance with Rudy Boesch, who is noted as being homophobic. I wondered how that would be relevant to their alliance. I wondered a long time until in the end, I read he lost a position as a host on a gay dating game show. So I figure he is homosexual, right? If this is so, one should either mention it in the second paragraph so it makes sense - or remove the note completely. Tierlieb 23:29, 12 November 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I just watched this again, and this is my completely original interpretation. The way it is presented on the show, Rudy did not know Richard was gay until after he'd formed a favorable impression of Richard due to Richard's decisive personality, which Rudy admired (presumably due to his military background). Rudy did not like the tendency of some of the other survivors, especially the women, to make decisions by committee or via consensus building; he thought there should be a "big man in charge" who makes the decisions and everyone goes along with that, and he saw Richard as that person. So when he later found out that Richard was gay, he didn't like it, but he managed to accept Richard in a leadership position within the alliance. In a later episode Richard remarked that Rudy would simply ask him whom to vote for, and was very loyal and obedient. So it seemed that his comfort with chain-of-command power structures allowed him to overcome his homophobia (which also may have been a result of his military background). I don't think there's any way to get that into the article since it's my own purely original thought, but I hope it helps anyway. ⟳ausa کui × 22:06, 14 May 2009 (UTC)

;An edit you reverted on me. Lets discuss
On this page Richard_Hatch_(Survivor_contestant) You undid my edit about Richard Hatch smuggling in matches. I edited under my IP. But im using my account to contact you. I am in the process of watching all the seasons of survivor and it just so happens I am watching all-stars. In the second episode, all 3 tribes got fire when they opted to get flint instead of blankets when one tribe won. Prior to this there was no fire from any tribe, nor a mention of it. In fact, Richard helped make the fire with the flint and was annoyed he couldnt get it started right away. Yes, the information is 'souced' But the inquirer is not a valid source in my opinion. To the best of my knowledge, they make up news mixed in with truth. Second, no survivor contestent is strip searched. Ever.
So the debate begins. I believe that the source is false. I wanted to discuss this with you first before taking it to a public discussion.
THanks!

text: Nothing in Philippine Daily Inquirer and the many references to it in the WP: space suggest it isn't.  Is there any reason to disbelieve that they accurately reported what Jeff Probst said; or to disbelieve Probst himself?  Mind you, this is a little point; reliability of sources aside, the consensus might be that it's just not worth including. TJRC (talk) 04:32, 20 August 2009 (UTC)

thread_title:  in a prison gang? 

message: In this interview Jeff Probst, survivor's host, talking about Hatch not making it to the Heroes Vs. Villains season. He claims that both in the game and in real life Richard Hatch was THE villain of the series, but since he only got out of prison and still in house arrest, he's not allowed to leave the US and couldn't join.

thread_title:  Going back? 

message: The section "Tax evasion conviction and imprisonment" needs a lot of work. It is extremely POV and the prose is so bad that you can't really pull the important facts out of it, such as how long he was imprisoned. 66.74.161.163 (talk) 07:04, 30 April 2012 (UTC)

message: While the entry line references actor Richard Hatch, Richard Hatch (Survivor contestant)'s wikipedia page should have a section noting the problem that their identical names (without the use of middle initial or name) briefly created for the Screen Actors Guild. 143.232.210.38 (talk) 17:17, 16 July 2012 (UTC)
