Richard Hatch, the winner of the first season of the hit reality-show competition "Survivor," was indicted Thursday on 10 counts of tax evasion. The charges include failing to pay taxes on his $1 million "Survivor" purse and filing a false tax return. Hatch also has been accused of using a $10,000 donation to his nonprofit summer camp, Horizon Bound, to pay for renovations on his house.

It's not sure how a confirmed nudist would fare in prison, but Hatch faces as much as 75 years if convicted on all counts.
