Richard Hatch (reality TV)

Richard Hatch (born April 8, 1961) is the winner of the first American Survivor series, set in Pulau Tiga.

Before Survivor, Hatch was a corporate trainer from Newport, Rhode Island. He has spent five years in the US Army, is a licensed real estate agent and has also worked as a car salesman and a bartender.

During the series, Hatch displayed infamous nudist tendencies, and had little problem with playing much of the game naked. Not paticularly well-loved by his fellow tribe mates, Hatch was nevertheless able to win the game by careful (and often underhanded and deceptive) plotting and scheming.

In 2004, he was brought back to Survivor as a contestant on Survivor: All-Stars, where he was voted out during the fifth episode, to his considerable surprise. Prior to his removal, he caused some controversy when during a challenge he briefly rubbed his naked body against competitor Sue Hawk. The event traumatized Sue, and she resigned from the game shortly after Richard left.

Openly homosexual, Hatch has a single adopted son named Christopher.

During the original season of Survivor, Hatch earned himself the nickname, FNF, "Fat Naked Fag", due to his sexual orientation and his enjoyment of being in the nude. He and his fellow tribemates often joked around with each other about "FNF".
