He HAD to know how much trouble he was in when they offered him a deal early on. Instead of taking it, or even turning it down gracefully, he went on the offensive and just pissed them off. All this despite knowing perfectly well that he didn't have a legal leg to stand on. Insane.

While I agree, I don't find it surprising. Survivor has gotten some flak over the years for editing the show to portray the contestants as the characters they want them to be instead of who they are. They don't appear to have done that in Hatch's case; he's every bit the egotistical overbearing asshat he'd built his media image on. He'd spent the last year making bank hand over fist because he was Richard Freakin' Hatch, so it's little wonder he would think he was above the law and just be able to BS his way out the same way he has with everything else.
So do you suppose he's gonna pitch or catch?
