Survior: 10th Anniversary Edition to Feature Richard Hatch
'SURVIVOR" wants Richard Hatch, winner of the first "Survivor" 10 years ago, back on the island.
Hatch has been in jail, finishing up a 51-month sentence for failing to pay taxes on the $1 million he won on the show in 2000.
The show has invited him back to be one of the players on a big 10th anniversary series that starts filming next month on a South Pacific island in Samoa.
But Hatch needed special permission from federal authorities to leave the country and cut short his final 90 days of home confinement.
Over the weekend, a copy of the invitation that the casting director of "Survivor" sent to Hatch late last month was posted by a Providence TV station which obtained it from court records.
"You would need to be available for principal filming . . . on or about August 1," the letter said.
The email said he would have to pass "a physical and psychological examination as a background investigation," but made no mention of his legal difficulties.
Federal prosecutors are opposed to allowing Hatch out of the country until he repays the $400,000 in back taxes and penalties he owes, according to reports.
