* [[Naked People Are Funny]]: Rich Hatch's other major shtick, besides being the show's first [[Manipulative Bastard]].
* [[Name's the Same]]: Richard Hatch from ''Borneo'' shares his name with Richard Hatch from [[Battlestar Galactica (1978 TV series)|the original ''[[Battlestar Galactica Classic]]'']]. Benjamin Wade (aka "Coach") from ''Tocantins'' on the other hand shares his name with both a major league player and a former US senator. Law student John Cochran of ''South Pacific'' has a similar name as another famous lawyer.
* [[The Napoleon]]: Sandra, Jonny Fairplay and Russell may be small in stature, but they're people you don't wanna mess with.
** Clay from ''Thailand'' was a 5'5 [[Manipulative Bastard]] who almost beat the [[Showy Invincible Hero|Showy Invincible Player]] of that season.
