I decided to start Borneo over from episode 1. Watching it now, I haven't seen it since 2000. 10 minutes and 35 seconds into episode 1 Richard says..."I'm good to go survival wise. People wise it'll be a little more challenging, but I've got the million dollar check written already, I mean I'm the winner". How cool and iconic is that 😂🥰

Pam B Richard Hatch is the ultimate pioneer of Survivor. CBS and Jeff Probst owe a lot to Richard Hatch because Survivor wouldn’t be where it is today without him. He’s one of the Founding Fathers of Survivor.

I freaking LOVE looking at the production side of shows. It’s great that you’re sharing these tidbits with us. Thanks!

How do you feel about Danni Boatwright's strategy in Guatemala of intentionally not revealing any of her plans to the producers during confessionals?

@RichHatch

Producers are human... so sharing honestly is a risk. I really shared honestly, because for me, I wanted viewers to have as full and honest a picture of how I was playing. Had I edited myself in those years before viewers understood the game, it is likely I would not be perceived to be such a villain.

There is an interview where Adam Klein said it's easy to tell who has an idol, as a contestant, if you pay attention. They'll start to follow someone for awhile out in the woods, and then stop following them and others out in the woods because there is no longer anything exciting to find or film. He said a camera person was following either Ben or Sarah, I cant remember, and then stopped following them and others, so it tipped him off to who had an idol.

Thank you so much for these videos!! Love them!!! ♥️♥️

I think holding your cards close to your chest can be beneficial in Survivor sometimes. Danni was very vague in her confessionals because she didn’t want Jeff to know what she was doing and then ask “questions” at tribal that are really just ways of letting other people know what you are thinking. So in that instance it really helped. Honesty would be nice as a viewer but I wouldn’t jeopardize my game just to be honest I’m confessionals

Thanks Richard! Enjoying your videos very much. Love the shirt btw! :)

Thanks for the great content I loved your season of survivor the most Thanks for the videos

Im impressed by your incredible production value!!

Awesome hearing about behind the scenes. Thanks!

Thank you for explaining it.

I agree with you. I also see the other side of the story where players want to keep their plans secret, even from producers, in order to maximize their strategies

i love these videos Richard thanks for putting them out i have watched Survivor since it first starded and i have never missed an episode and i even have a survivor inspired Tattoo

It's about time you started doing these videos. Love it.

I really value the castaways who give funny, interesting, thoughtful, intriguing and entertaining confessionals.

I wonder how much the observation of who is being pulled into confessionals and how often or how seldom that occurs affects the perception of players. Somebody who is always being pulled into confessionals has a lot going on in their game, don't they? Whereas the player that is done with their confessionals quickly might seem like a non-threat. And if you are the player who isn't being asked a lot of questions, maybe you're a nonentity in the game. It also seems to me that 'getting the take' quickly is beneficial to a player, because that means you can extend your extra time away a little more.

@RichHatch

Great points! I must say, though, producers do make some effort to ensure participants are relatively-equally pulled to confessionals. That said, producers are human, and an observant player certainly can gain valuable insights by paying close attention to what's going on. Further, for viewers, please know that it is also important for you to observe confessionals somewhat critically too. They are ostensibly opportunities for the participants to openly and honestly share all that is on their minds with viewers to help viewers enjoy even more of the game... HOWEVER, as I mentioned, producers are human, and sophisticated participants sometimes hold back or somewhat alter what they say in confessionals to avoid ANY tiny chance what they say could influence how producers react or how their next questions of other participants might be influenced. OH, THE LAYERS... THE MANY, MANY LAYERS of this wonderful game.

@MollyPorter

This was my question as well. I think to Richard's point, it probably behooves the producers to get as many confessionals as possible from as many players in order to create the storyline once filming has concluded, since anything can happen and anyone can win. That's why Richard's million dollar comment on day one of his season looks so prescient. Who knows if other players made the same statement?

I always curious about this. I used to think everyone is required to summarize their day on the next day everyday

How many people knew you before Survivor, 200, 500, 1000, 25,000 people? You now have a voice due to Survivor. Your a contestant on a Reality Game Show on TV. Now we have listen to your negative comments about the Game Show named “Survivor”. Didn’t you signed a contract? If you didn’t read the contract of being a contestant on a Game Show, that lasts “39” days. What gives you the right to complain about it. You signed a contract.! You knew what was expected of you, and what the TV Game Show has to produce for you. Because of Survivor, over a million viewers are looking at your negative comments on a Game Show that literally, gave you a voice. People know who you are NOW. A contestant complaining about your experience on a Game Show. Congratulations on you winning Million dollars. Why not take your fame and do something positive? You are famous now. Are you aware of the children in USA, that live in shelters, cars, cardboard boxes, under overpasses, etc? These children are the kids that will in charge in the future. One or many of these overlooked children, may hold the key to making the world that everyone has to share, better.

Rich is the most in depth, philosophical survivor player I'd say. Few people understands the core and the premise of the game like him. Season 40 didn't feel complete without the original survivor winner!

Cochran was also great with confessionals on his winning season.

Hatch….your my hero! Thanks for the tips….I’m trying to get on the show

I like this behind the scenes stuff- it'd be interesting to hear more about the actual logistics of the production and how that plays into the game. For example, is there any strategy in the transportation to the island? I've heard from recent players that they're all in the same plane, and some talk to each other and create pregames on the way there.

Love your video and the shirt.

Ok that makes a lot of sense now 👍 it wasn’t that dean from s39 was left out of confessionals appearing on tv etc it’s because he was not involved in anything at those times of the game so no confessionals were made

Mr. Hatch. Curious Question: What are the reason(s) why they edit out camera/film crew & event staff on the weekly public shows? A prime example is during challenges. We see a camera person running alongside a participant, but then when they switch to another angle or drone shot looking down, we only see the participants & host Jeff Probst in motion, no one else. Respectfully Submitted & thank you Richard! I'm subscribed BTW.

@michael.valenti

they do that to make the show have more interesting shots and angles and they are probably filming the crews that test the challenges (from a different time or day) from those high angles so you don't have cameras being caught on camera from above.

Do players have a sense of stronger competitors based off of how frequently they are or are not called for a confessional?

This may sound corny, but you were the first. With that brings a certain honor that none of the other greats can claim. You, and Boston Rob are my two favorite players ever, and... my opinion, Boston Rob took a page from your playbook, which is not a meant to be a slight against Rob. You were the trailblazer, and STILL... one of my two favorite Survivors.

Hey Richard! I love these videos, and I love Survivor's older seasons. I was 3 when your season aired, but watched it as a teenager, not really understanding why you were perceived as such a villain. Everything you did just seemed rational, and the loyalty you demonstrated would've been perceived as damn-near heroic by today's standards. I kind of get it now (people thought it was "cheating" to make an alliance at the time, your personality rubbed some people the wrong way, etc. etc.), but did you expect America to perceive you that way coming out of Borneo? Did YOU perceive yourself as a villain the way so many others did? I'd love to know. Thanks!

Hey Rich, I know this has been brushed under the rug, but is there any way to elaborate on the Wigglesworth food scandal in season 1, and what happened with Stacey being 'rigged out' from your perspective?

One thing that always stays in my mind and if u could answer it would be really cool. How far are the challenges and tribal councils from the camp? Do you go walking or there is some sort of transport! loved ur seasons! I bought VPN (since I am Brazilian) just to see u play 😆

This shoot needed a sound guy. The low rumbling is really unsettling through headphones.

Every season, they usually throw us at least one 2-hour episode, in addition to the 3-4 finale. Wish they could all last that long. But someday.....I would really love to see a full special episode......on EVERYTHING behind-the-scenes. From the beginning of the audition process.....the crews that go out & set up the challenges....the logistics of getting everyone out to the island......questions about when & how the 'loved ones' are flown out. When players are voted out......are they sent to Ponderosa,,,,,but moved elsewhere once the jury members arrive.......and then the entire cast & crew all fly home at once?

Show, don't tell

Aight

Btw, I'm super disappointed that you are not on season 40! I watched your other video explaining what actually happened in season 8 between you and Sue. I haven't rewatched that season in years, but I have a vague recollection of Sue laughing and joking around about you being naked during the challenge. I never did understand how she went from joking around to being violated. I don't think her tribe understood it either. I always figured she was worried about what her husband might think about her joking around with you, and as a solution, chose to play the victim so it would overshadow what actually happened... which was nothing inappropriate. Maybe I'm wrong, but that's the conclusion I came to after watching that challenge.

Can players/do players ever have the urge to initiate a confessional themselves? As in, does anyone ever approach production dying to get something off their chest in a confessional?

Does Probst watch any of the confessional footage or any of the day-to-day footage? My sense is that he is aware of events and details from these that he then uses at Tribal to stir the pot and at times, manipulates the game a bit. That would be why I would be hesitant to be completely open in a confessional. That being said, it seems like one of the hardest parts of being in the game is that, unlike at a stressful job, you have no time over the 39 days where you can completely relax and unload. A confessional would be helpful for that release.

what you say about confessionals is true and may lead to more appearances in future seasons but since they are secret not apart of game and the end result the voting not important to winning game.. Should they let audience have one vote in finale in some way

Do they film them at the same time for all the players? Also, is it possible to hear someone else doing a confessional?

Do you know if most confessionals actually make it on the show?

I agree with you on how more survivors should be honest with the producers about their strategy in the game, but this can screw them over if they play a second, third or fourth time, as the new cast now puts a huge target on a players back that reveals all their plans and tendencies

Keep it up. like your videos. yeah. ok. Wellone. Don't know what else to say, you asked me to comment. oh, I'm surprised the view count is so low, give i some time I bet you make more from this than the show when its all said and done. Good luck.

Dani didn't share much.. and it helped her win, so I don't think this advice applies to everyone.
