Corporate trainer Richard Hatch was the first winner (survivor)on the popular reality show Survivor, set in Borneo. This series conclusively proves there is no limit to how silly a show can be, provided it offers its viewers a sufficiency of comely young people cavorting about wearing skimpy outfits.
Hatch himself was no youngster but did like to go about as nearly nude as possible. His work experience had been varied and included a five-year hitch in the Army. On Suvivor, he showed a political ability that might be the envy of politicians everywhere, taking home the $1 million prize.
He was less clever when it came to paying his income taxes, however, and he spent around four years in prison as a result. Hatch had been offered a deal if he would plead guilty, but he turned it down, hoping to win over the jury. He didn't. His appeals did him no good, and in the end, the U.S. Supreme Court refused to grant certiorari. An older but presumably wiser Hatch emerged from prison in May 2009.
