Survivor: Richard Hatch releases video on his Winners at War snub

Richard Hatch, the winner of the first-ever Survivor season, offers his one-sided take on why he was not on the final list to play in Winners at War.

Back in December,Survivor: Borneowinner Richard Hatchmade a series of comments on social mediaabout his eligibility forWinners at War,explicitly talking about the process in which he cleared his final Ph.D. semester to play the game, how they initially expressed interest, but that interest “paused” just before the 20 castaways were flown off to Fiji.

Now Richard Hatch has employed the services ofDante LunaandMalcolm Digitalto kickstart hisnew YouTube channel, leading off his new venture by publicly stating his position on why he ultimately did not compete inSurvivor: Winners at War.He even adds thatAustralian Outbackwinner Tina Wesson got the same call he did two days before he was to fly out, learning that “things have been paused.”

The video offers a lot of conjecture on behalf of production, Jeff Probst specifically, and what he gleaned as the reasonsofficially given why Hatch wasn’t part of season 40. This is the second time in a few months that Hatch has downplayed the severity of the Sue Hawk incident, this time focusing more on Probst’s assertion that Hatch’s nudity doesn’t make him feel comfortable in representing modernSurvivor.

This video doesn’t actively downplay the conspiracy theory-tier explanation Hatch had offered in the past, alleging that because he didn’t actually physically touch Sue Hawk when he was naked that he doesn’t have a history of sexual harassment (as discussed in the video). Instead, he reflects criticism back at Probst, claiming that he offered two women inSurvivor: The Amazonthe opportunity to strip for peanut butter (they offered to do it themselves, and Probst agreed).
