Survivor Richard Hatch Offered Help by Trump

Survivor Richard Hatch is heading off to jail but a powerful friend wants to help him.
The Celebrity Apprentice contestant turned himself into U.S. marshals on Monday to begin a nine-month prison sentence for failing to re-file his taxes. But, the host and powerful figure behind the Apprentice shows says he wants to help.
"I don't know what it is with him," Donald Trump tells TV Guide Network's Hollywood 411. "I like him, he's a nice guy. I thought he served his time and now he's going back to jail. ... I'm going to have to sit down with him and talk to him."
Hatch previously served three years for failing to pay taxes on his Survivor winnings. He was released and ordered to re-file his taxes.
Trump also claimed that he came to respect Hatch after working with him on Celebrity Apprentice, adding: "He wasn't loved on set because it's a competition but I will say he was respected.
"[Helping him is] something I'd think about. He's been a great character on the show. If he makes it to the finals - and I'm not saying he is - I'm sure we can get him time off for good behavior."
What is so "nice" about Richard Hatch? He's an arrogant, bullying SOB. He treats people with contempt. In the 2nd episode I didn't even notice him. I think he's going to stay under the radar for awhile especially after the way he treated David Cassidy. And then they lost to the women by 50%. They only made half of what the women pulled in.
On this show, Trump is looking for cutthroats. Not that they'll win, but he seems to want 2 alligator types going after one another. And that's why he kept on Richard Hatch.
As far as the women this week, I wish they had thrown off Dionne Warwick. She is an obstinate bitch. I couldn't believe it. She should stick to singing "Walk on By" or "Do you know the way to San Jose?" She takes offense when there's no offense meant. She thinks she doesn't have to obey the Project Manager. Also, the way she is dressed -- is she living on the street? Talk about poverty. She's impoverished 2 ways: as a team player and apparently money-wise.
