PLEASE NOTE: The Reality TV World Message Boards are filled with desperate
attention-seekers pretending to be one big happy PG/PG13-rated family. Don't
be fooled. Trying to get everyone to agree with you is like herding cats,
but intolerance for other viewpoints is NOT welcome and respect for other
posters IS required at all times. Jump in and play, and you'll soon find out
how easy it is to fit in, but save your drama for your mama. All members are
encouraged to read the
complete guidelines.
As entertainment critic Roger
Ebert once said, "If you disagree with something I write, tell me so, argue
with me, correct me--but don't tell me to shut up. That's not the American way."

"Rich's book" |
I read Rich Hatch's book "101 Survival Secrets". It's not what you might think. "SurvivAL", not "SurvivOR". He said very little about the show. It's about his philosophy and rules for living happily. Fine, if that's what you're after, but don't be misled. There were a number of pictures of him at various points in his life, including when he was very fat. There's a lot of white space and very largely printed numbers. You can read the whole thing in half an hour. So get it from the library instead of buying it (libraries pay a small royalty on borrowed books).

Well, he was certainly the best player on the first series. Jeff was certainly unlucky. Like he said, if it hadn't been for Michael's accident, they would have been interviewing Colby that morning. Rich had a little luck, but he won by reading people correctly and assembling a solid alliance, and taking risks. He went for Stacey right away, seeing that she was the only one in the group who was actually playing the game. Then after the merger, he nailed Gretchen, who was the most intelligent of the new people, before she could react. Then he was smart enough to drop out and let Kelly whack Rudy so that he didn't break his word and turn Rudy against him. Game players would have awarded him a 7-0 vote at the end. The only reason it was close was because half the players were tourists.

You've got it exactly right. She has stated publicly that she was surprised that actual survival skills played far less of a role than she had thought.

>>>He went for Stacey right away, seeing that she was the only one in the group who was actually playing the game.<<<I didn't notice that. Good catch! Also, one other smart move that definitely deserves mention. He said that he was planning to whack Kelly before Colleen but couldn't becuase of her immunity run. Obviously, he wanted to do this in order to avoid the "Rich, Rudy vs. Sue, Kelly" tie. I just thought that was brilliant. I think, ideally, he wanted to take Sean to the final two. Personally, I would have loved to see Rich write a commentary book on how and why he played the game like he did. That would have been a good read indeed.
