More than a quarter century after he won the first season of "Survivor,"Richard Hatch is still battling the federal governmentover taxes it claims he failed to pay onhis prize winnings.

Only now,the amount that the government claimsthe Rhode Island native owes has, with penalties, ballooned to more than $3.2 million, well beyond his original winnings total of about $1,010,000.

In its effort to get that money, the federal government won a judgment against the reality TV star on March 17, but Hatch, acting as his own lawyer, filed a notice two days later, on March 19, that he will appeal to the United States Court of Appeals.

U.S. District Court Judge John M. McConnell, on March 17, ruled in a civil case that Hatch owes the federal government more than $3,293,000 for his federal income tax liabilities. The final bill is likely to be higher since it will include statutory additions from and after May 13, 2024, including interest.

McConnell wrote that his final judgment allows the United States to start to use theFederal Debt Collection Procedureto collect the payment.

Did Hatch give property to his sister to avoid paying?

The federal government has placed federal tax liens against two properties it says Hatch owns in Newport. The government claims Hatch deeded both properties to his sister, Kristen Hatch, to avoid having to pay. It claims Kristen Hatch is "a mere nominee of Mr. Hatch, the true and equitable owner of said property."

"Richard H. Hatch, Jr., transferred record title of the Real Properties to Kristin M. Hatch with the actual intent to hinder, delay, or defraud the creditors of Richard H. Hatch, Jr., including the United States, and thus was fraudulent," the government said.

Hatch is appealing to the District Court's ruling, he confirmed via text toThe Providence Journal, part of the USA TODAY Network. He said in the message that he's confident the appellate court's review will result in "a just outcome."

"I have spent 25 years trying to do the right thing, and I remain committed to resolving this matter fairly," Hatch said.

Who is Richard Hatch?

Hatch, 64, from Newport, Rhode Island, helped make "Survivor" the biggest show on TV and whet the country's appetite for realityTV when he outfoxed his fellow castaways in Borneo to win the first season in 2000.

Hatch's face and most of his body became recognizable across the country since he famously spent much of his island time naked. Despite that level of notoriety, the government claimed Hatch didn't claim his "Survivor" winnings. He was convicted of tax evasion in January 2006.

In May 2006, Hatch was sentenced to 51 months in prison with three years of supervised release. Hatch was also required to file amended income tax returns for the 2000 and 2001 tax years and pay all taxes due those years, but he failed to do so, according to the government.

After Hatch continued refusing to pay, the United States government filed a civil complaint in U.S. District Court, Providence, in September 2022, requesting a judgment on unpaid federal income tax liabilities, and enforcement of federal tax liens against two Newport properties the government said Hatch owned.

The saying is that the show must go on.

And it certainly did, after Kamolwan Chanago, a contestant in the Miss Grand Thailand pageant, struggled with her veneers Wednesday while speaking on stage during alivestream(about 51:30 in).

But she turned away from the audience, made the needed adjustments, then turned back to flash a smile and take a walk around the stage as planned.

"During her on-stage introduction, Kamolwan Chanago experienced a minor and unexpected incident in which her veneer teeth became dislodged," a spokesperson for the organization behind the pageant toldPEOPLE. "She handled the situation with professionalism and composure, and the event continued smoothly without disruption. We are proud of her confidence and stage presence throughout the competition."

She and the other competitors in the Miss Grand Thailand event will learn their fate Saturday.

In November, the Miss Universe contestant representing Jamaica, Dr. Gabrielle Henry, suffered her own unscripted moment when she fell from the pageant stage in a preliminary competition in the same city.

"Dr. Henry suffered a serious fall through an opening on the stage while performing her walk during the preliminary competition on November 19, 2025, resulting in an intracranial hemorrhage with loss of consciousness, a fracture, facial lacerations and other significant injuries," astatementfrom the Miss Universe organization read.

"She was immediately admitted to intensive care in Bangkok, where she remained in critical condition under constant neurological monitoring, and continues to require 24-hour specialist supervision."

Also in 2025, the finals of the Miss Universe pageant faced controversy, after the contestant representing Mexico, Fátima Bosch, was told to leave a group event by Nawat Itsaragrisil, then the president of Miss Universe for Asia and Oceania. He accused her of not doing all that was required of her.

Bosch was ultimately crowned the winner of that competition, and Itsaragrisilleft the organization.
