Really? Jeff always shows up in fresh-pressed shorts and shirt. Were we supposed to believe he was experiencing Survivor like a contestant? Never crossed my mind.
They also aren’t competing for a million dollars, it’s their job and their workplace. Why should they suffer?
THIS
What do you mean?
He wasn’t suggesting that he should do that at allllllll. He literally said that. He was just saying there are aspects of the game jeff will never understand cause he’s never experienced it.
I'm in the Army. I suffer in the field. It's my job. Why should I suffer, you ask? Because it's a part of their job description.
He wasn’t suggesting they should be
Russell Hantz has a point when he says you're never going to be invited back on the show if you continue to trash talk Probst
Probst plays a major role in casting and probably casts people he would get along with and who would follow directions.
@@MLeveilleeMinistries That's why Vecepia wasn't allowed back for s40. Jeff didn't like her and hated Marquesas so she didn't come back.
@@Captain-Sum.Ting-Wong I know that Jeff didn't like the location, but how could have hated the season when it was Boston Rob's first season?
More "old school" players might have made it harder to vote all of them out.
I mean Probst is one of the producers too so
You should make a video about who you think are the best players to have played survivor and have the best strategy
Luke22 but then it turn in to a hating on probst video
Rich can’t do that cause he says the games flawed now and only Rich is the best winner
Why ?
I would love this!
That's someone's personal opinion only
I started the series from season one a few months ago and plan on watching them all. It’s super interesting seeing the changes from season to season and the way the show progresses. 😂
I was obsesseddddd with season one back when it first came out and it was very interesting watching the entire season again knowing the outcome. It was fun watching you again on all stars. ✌🏽😂
Well, didn’t expect this to be about Probst.
GraceWithoutTears I did. Richard’s bitterness always brings it back to Probst.
It's the first video of his I've watched but I suspect other videos trash Probst too.
Sounds like bitter lemons Hatch. Survivor is such an incredible show and so well done. It's called "survivor" for a reason.
The first season was likely a non-union season. I don’t know that for sure. Just an educated guess. If that’s the case, as soon as it was picked up by a network for season 2 it would have had to become a union production. I suspect that’s why the crew isn’t still in tents. If production could get away with putting crew in tents they’d still be in tents. Guaranteed.
thanks for starting this channel rich!
The staff and crew are not the ones playing the game. Why shouldn’t they be comfortable?
Frank Fiorentino ikr all hatch does is bash probst and survivor
It is amazing, but until this day there's people still thinking the crew and Jeff is living like the Survivor players. 🤷
Who said they shouldn’t ? He was simply saying that because he hasn’t his perspective is not accurate
Okay. Listened all the way through then at your request, subscribed. Here is how I see survivor; Richard Hatch single handedly created the strategy that has been used by every season of players since season one. He will always be the number one in my book. The creator of the “alliance”. Enough said.
First time I've seen your channel, and I have to say I am very impressed. Thoroughly enjoyed hearing your thoughtfully expressed view points of the show and behind the scenes. Congrats to you Richard, the one and only original Sole Survivor. Subscribing now.
Thanks for the real life description of behind the scenes.
Thanks, Rich!
This started out as a nice and insightful video about the crew, then it turned into a needless Probst bashing... Dude, we wanna see you play against Russell, stop putting videos out against Jeff. He not gonna let you on if you do stuff like this, and nor should he.
AeroDaNamic He’s but hurt he wasn’t on season 40 get over it I see why they didn’t call you back now
I commend Richard for going balls out (pun intended) in revealing the behind the scenes truth of Survivor and Jeff Probst. It may well be the reason he will never be seen on the show again but it’s also the reason I would love to see him return.
Great picture/thumbnail
Hey Richard, love your videos. Something that bothers me about your criticism: it's unclear to me how you know so much about the inner workings of the show; how jeff truly is behind the scenes, etc., when you only played two seasons over 15 years ago. Can you speak to how you are so knowledgeable about the show after all this time?
No but he can release another youtube video from his soapbox
He knows this because hes been here since the first season of survivor ans was the first winner so ofc he probably kept intouch with jeff and has been in the BTS for 2 seasons years apart to see how the show and how jeff has evolved obviously
@@ajapotts1889 you do realize seasons 1 and 8 were 4 years apart. The show has spanned 20 years. A lot can change in 16 years.
He is literally the OG survivor and likely meets TONS of contestants from the other seasons and they all love to share and compare their experiences. He, more than most people can truly know what it was like from the beginning and understand the evolution season to season.
When survivors from different seasons meet, they literally compare and contrast their experiences, Hatch is still a keen observer and student (Maybe PROFESSOR) of the game at this point
Richard is holding on to hope that he can play again one day. He has to realize that these Jeff Probst “bashings”, as true as they may be, aren’t helping his case to return to the show. Why? Because Jeff Probst is the one who ultimately determines who is going to appear on the seasons. Why would Jeff reward someone like Richard a chance to play again knowing that Richard has bashed him countless of times? And if Probst’s ego is as big as you say it is, he’s definitely not going to take the high ground and grant you another chance to play.
He’s never going to play again and it’s 100% his fault.
What makes you think he hopes to play again? He just got screwed over by survivor/Probst and probably never wants to return
His chances of playing again are definitely over. This was truly his only chance for this season and the fact that he got dropped a few days before is just guna add fuel to his fire. Richard will always have hard feelings towards Jeff and will even more so now speak his mind about some of the truths of survivor
But rich was one of the people that got it off the ground... from day one you wanted to see rich and Rudy and what would go on . If season two was season one there wouldn’t have been a second season
I think CBS has more control over who appears on the show than Probst, because I know back in Micronesia, CBS really wanted Fairplay to return. Probst didn’t want him to return, but CBS really didn’t care
I want to see Probst and the producers go up against the winners in a season.
there would be too much bias against Probst
Love hearing your fearless commentary...others fear to speak up and risk falling out of favor with King Probst
Bottom line. I've been watching it since Season 1. And of course there have been some Seasons I like more than others, but in general I always enjoy it because of the reason it started in the first place. Taking random people and dropping them in an uninhabited location with very few supplies, that then compete in challenges to try and last 39 days to then be voted a million dollar prize by a jury that were also participants in the game.. I keep it simple. I don't get caught up in the politics of it or judge the people that participate because it's just a TV show and I appreciate the entertainment value of it. Anyone who signs up for it or works on the crew go through a lot to provide fans with this glimpse into such a unique and dramatic social experiment. It's my favorite show.
It is so much more real than Big Brother.
Mine too. I'm busy re-watching all seasons and loving it.
@@Maw0 I love the UK Big Brother best but they're all good to watch.
@@maganalia I like Big Brother, but I love Survivor more.
Up
What are your thoughts on a season of players who’ve lost at the final tribal, that would basically be a legends season but the stakes would be so high because they’ve all came so close to winning. Just to name a few - Russell, coach, ozzy, Amanda, Spencer, fishback, Dominic, etc
A "second chance" if you will?
😝
What does Rich know? He hasn't seen much of the current game at all. This would be like resurrecting a civil war soldier and asking them about the modern-day military.
Every video on your channel helps me flesh out a fuller picture of a production that I've been piecing together for years now. This channel is an avalanche of new info, although I often wish you would, or could, provide more specific examples. I sense that a secondary mission of yours with this channel is to become a popularly selected producer or host of an updated Survivor. I support that. Your understanding of and vision for the show accentuates the qualities of reality TV that I value whereas the current show moves further from it. I still love it for what it is and can be. Cheerio.
I'm glad this channel exists too. It does grant us a bigger picture of how all of this goes on and what goes on beyond what we see.
I enjoy your candor and how you handle yourself.
idk man. probst has handled some really touchy and controversial subjects with grace. and he's always asking about everyone's experience along the way. obv you have a much closer look, but i don't see the condescension and think the show has only gotten better with time
I think you're absolutely right, Rich. I'm crazy about Jeff and honestly believe that without Jeff Probst there would be no more Survivor but I have noticed that he appears to be more interested in the business side of things (as well he should) but as a fan I'm tired of seeing the same old cookie-cutter version of players season after season. And for crying out loud... the blatant favoritism shown to Boston Rob by everybody at "Survivor, Inc." it's getting sooooo old!! Enough already!
Sounds like a case of sour grapes to me!
I'm sure part of the reason they are basically staying in Fiji permanently is because of those luxurious conditions they've been able to establish for themselves. I can't really blame them.
I wacth this every day lol
Richard Hatch, I finally took your advice and subscribed😄😄😄😄😄😄😄😄😄😄
Probst is the greatest reality show host OAT imo.
IVE BEEN BAMBOOZELED
Great video Richard, I was wondering if you could make one about the old school/new school dynamic of this season and what it means for the strategic element of the game.
Beyond this being click bait with your false title, Jeff has been an incredible executive producer for 20+ years and won 4 Emmy’s due to the shows long running standings and popularity. I would think that a large majority of viewers probably strongly disagree with you. Best to drop your grudge, move on and be happy you were part of Survivor. Good luck in life!
when are you coming out with more videos?
I love all seasons of survivor
I want Hatch's behind the scenes, prison edition.
Do you have any tips for an application video? I’m really hoping to get on the show
You might want to show something behind the scenes in a “behind the scenes” video.
Rich is the only player that could ever speak about Probst like this
The others actually want to be invited back
BH I meant that since Rich was there for Survivors beginning and create the foundation of the strategy, he doesn’t have the level of awe that other players do towards Probst
I always thought it was weird the way the prize money didn’t adjust upward with inflation. One million in 2000 is worth a lot less than in 2019. For this season it is 2 million but it will probably drop back to 1 million next season.
You have that reversed
You’re right, was a typo.
True. But Survivor was a lot more popular back in the early 2000s than now, and it seems for most people playing it the money is less important than just being on the show.
It's still a lot more money than most Americans make in a year, let alone 39 days.
@@ResettisReplicas True. But inflation goes up about 3% per year. That means in the 20 years since Survivor debuted, that 1 million is worth 60% less in buying power. It's still a huge amount of money, but it is kind of cheap of CBS to not increase it, given how much money they make off that show.
Richard has a big EGO, Jeff is good at doing what he is doing that's the bottom line ( people will criticize successful people). SURViVOR is successful because of Probst, no one can do a better job than he can hosting that show.
How would u know what its like these days?
Survivor players got a ring. He knows things from players who like him.
When you say “baffled” by the profit, do you actually know a ballpark figure? I don’t think there’s a number that would baffle me lol.
Buddies pissed that he’s not on 40
Yamesbird productions yup he wouldn’t win anyway so don’t know why he’s so pissed
I always felt something was a bit off with Probst, but I never could validate it with any evidence.
This vid makes a lot of sense. Thanks for the insight, Rich!
Can anyone validate the rumor I heard about Jeff not liking players like Vecepia? I also heard from Andrew Savage that Burnett treated Dara from Season 7 like crap when she fell ill and was "holding up production" during a challenge.
You make alot of good points, honestly my favourite was the survivor auction, do you know why it's not popular/gone?
jesse038100 there’s a great TH-cam video on 5 times players “broke” the game. The contestants broke the auction in Season 30 when there were three players (Dan, Mike, and Carolyn) who held out for the advantage and ended up having to draw rocks for it. At that point the auction was pointless.
@@Emeraldowl13 thanks for the input, honestly I enjoyed the eating challenges but the auction seemed fun, perhaps it may come back in a new way at some point, but thanks a bunch for the information!
Hey Rich, I've been thinking a lot about the end of this season. I feel Survivor most likely won't have a live reunion special because of the current global situation, but is there even enough footage to make an ending? Do producers film alternate readings of the votes before the live shows as a backup?
Can you explain what you mean? Why wouldn't there be enough footage. And what's up in regards to alternate endings if it's a reality show? I'm not being sarcastic, I'm just not understanding. Thanks
@@tamarahorn1506 the seasons are taped months in advanced, and then the votes are read live at the reunion special, but can they even gather together to do that because of stay at home orders? I just wonder if they film alternate readings of the final votes just in case something like this happens. Doesn't matter, they have a live show date now, so there's my answer
@@corrytincher8280 thankyou. That puts it in perspective.
Completely spot on Rich, no wonder the show is in Fiji year after year and the challenges are the same season after season!
Has Jeff said he endured it?
Maybe the host needs to participate in a whole season physically, I sure would watch that one and it could only have positive results for the host, the fans and the productions crew. He would gain respect world wide if ego is a factor, and fundamentally change the way he looks at the survivors for the life of this game. challenge given Jeff Probst :)
Everyone seems to be blaming Probst for how season 39 was handled. The fact is, we don't know all that actually happened. The key event was that a crew member was somehow harassed while the contestants were getting in a boat after a challenge. Does anyone know exactly what happened there? Unless you do, you cannot say things were handled wrong. Keep in mind, Dan was already given a warning. Maybe by habit, he made a comment to a lady as they hopped into the boat, or maybe it was something worse? Who knows. But the fact is, he was already warned and should have known better. Probst likely had no choice but to let him go after that.
Also, Hatch remained a contestant until the last minute, which means Probst was likely fine with him until heat from the higher ups pressured him to make changes.
What happened in season 39 and 40?
Can u talk about rob c and how he played in survivor amazon and any players u think should come back that haven't played again
You probably mean players that haven't played in a while but hasn't Rob C returned for All Stars or am I wrong?
Maw The asshole yea he returned in all stars but left really early
@@tuckervoyles4551 Everyone has to leave in order for Rab and Ambuh to win.
You're right Richard, you should have been on season 40. There are at least 2-3 players who you could have easily replaced.
I took a break after watching season 25 and picked it back up recently starting with season 40 since I saw it was all winners and the biggest disappointment was you not being on it. I figured you for whatever reason didn't want to do it, but hearing how Probst's ego was the reason for you not being asked is such a shame. They should of had you on not just 40, but they should have had you on heroes vs villains along with one or more of the fan vs favorites...also Rich, if you read this, is there any way that I could get an autograph for my father? It has been a family joke all the way back to season 1 that you look exactly like him and his name is also Richard.🙏
Probst seens to come across as a pretty genuine and caring host toward the contestants. Seems like hatch is just trying to trash talk him
Hey Rich, if at the final 3 in Borneo ,Kelly had voted you out instead of Rudy putting you on the jury, who would you have voted to win the game, Kelly or Rudy?
For those of you who say Richard Hatch should be on this season.
*He is too good for this New-School runned season.*
theres a reason all the old school players are out
@@adenz2338 Yeah, because they were outnumbered, had the biggest targets on their backs and the swap was guaranteed to fuck over big players that couldn't hide amongst a tribe of 5.
Plenty of reasons.
HOLD THE DOOR!
Good stuff Richard
Interesting to hear someone speak a little negatively about Jeff Probst. Not that he's really tearing into him, just that he's shedding some light on the other side of Jeff Probst than what you see on Survivor, which is almost the only way I know anything about him at all. The only other thing I have ever heard about him is that he can have a bit of a temper.
Sour grapes. Sad.
Hi Rich, tell us about possibility of making international version of survivor with players from all over the world, do you think this would be success on TV? I heard Jeff saying its not possible to make because of insurance. ..however not necessary to make it on CBC.
Survivor "Winners At War" with International Winners?! th-cam.com/video/UGLR1pHHjQE/w-d-xo.html
big fan of you from 🇸🇬 and please don't return to play again.. you my favourite player ever and no one else..
Why should the crew and probst not have access to AC and beds…?
God bless
Maybe Jeff Probst & the execs need to do a season involving him, the execs & the crew, then maybe they would understand it better. I would definitely watch that season!!!‼️
Safe to say that you (Richard Hatch) are not getting back on the show ... not after this video (LOL).
Rich is actually right about this SAN Juan Del Sur Natalie said her and Nadiya planned to not reveal they were on amazing race next minute episode 1 Probst asks the two as amazing race participants in front of everyone .... boom nadiya gone ref SurvivorOz interview
You would be a really good host.
They need to make it 3 Million Prize now.
Rich is by far my favorite player. Next would be Russel - you know which one.
Why is the crew supposed to suffer? Can you imagine them all on the next beach, building shelters, making fire and fishing, in between production work, LOL.
Just because Probst decided at the last minute not to select you for season 40 doesn't mean he ignores players perspectives of the game. I think he actually enjoys hearing them, especially if they are unusual. I also think he appreciates your contribution to Survivor. He simply did not feel you were appropriate for season 40 given the controversy you would have created after what happened in season 39 and your last season. I mean after all, you allowed that inappropriate touch to happen. Whether it was intentional or not, in today's world, one does not even allow the chance of that to happen. Can't blame it on the producers. It was your choice to run the challenge naked, knowing that could happen. Such a choice in that situation or in similar situations is just totally unacceptable nowadays, as made apparent in season 39. So thus you weren't selected. Simple as that. No reason to bash anyone over it. Just learn from it. Apologize, instead of acting like it wasn't your fault and maybe in the future, you might have another chance.
Michael John Wow, John, why not learn what happened before advising someone who was there?There was no “touch.” The incident was entirely of Sue’s making, and Probst is well aware of that. My perspective of Probst has formed over 20 years, and it is not informed by the edited footage you’ve seen.
@@RichHatch I'm surprised she would quit over a made-up story. But if that's true, she probably thought at the time it happened, then realized later for whatever reason, it never happened. Seems weird to me. But regardless, you have to realize it was poor judgement to run such a challenge naked in today's environment. Back then? Maybe you have a point it might have been encouraged, at your ultimate expense unfortunately.
I cant give this enough thumbs up Richard. You hit the nail on the head and from a fans point of view it's sad to see a game we love not being handled with care and Jeff not having an open mind to former players and fans. How can Jeff be so naive?
Invite and interview other survivors!!!!
i love your brutally candid take on Jeff. I think most Durvivors feel the need to not say anything critical or judgemental for fear of not getting on the show again
You know, it really bums me out you weren’t on Winners At War.
I never got the vibe probst was “enduring.” That mans always put together
Isn’t this the dude who SA someone?
I think you are so right. After season 32, I have not liked the show that much. I still watch but they are not the same.
What’s wrong with Malaysian food?
why don't they have better reward challenges like in the old days if the profits are so much for the show?
Bitttttteerr betttttty.
I think season 2 was the best. It seemed like the early seasons of survivor were way more brutal. I'm currently binging all the seasons and I'm on Africa right now season 3. Did y'all hear about Michael supkin from season 2 that got burnt? I looked him up on Wikipedia to see what happened to him after those days and turns out he went to jail for embezzlement and possession of child pornography.
cool beans Richard! Thanks for the super interesting video. Reach out if you'd like to collaborate in some way! 🔥
I have no idea what this guy is talking about. All I wanted to do was to learn about behind the scenes and what happens to the contestants after they get voted off and all that stuff.
From the guy who didn’t want to pay his taxes.
I’ve watched every season. I don’t think anyone knows the game. Every season it’s a new game.
The 20 players that plays season 40 should've been voted for by the fans!
Jhebrix Should do a winners vs non winners that were close to winning like Russell and Ozzy so on be interesting
It’s kinda crazy Jeff gets more money then the actual survivor winner. Like over 5 times more. Makes you think
Well if anyone knows what ego is it's you Hatch.
Sorry, but Rich, how the hell would you know?
GCP123 he’s Richard fucking hatch he knows everything about everything
@@braxtonfps3580 only about survivor
literally watching this on 1.75x speed bc he talks wayyy too slow and boring
oh thank you i didn’t even think to do that
Jen season 30 frikin hilarious
Oh i did not recognize rich 😆
....I mean...get those sponsors. Make a show and let's fuckin do this!
