Meet a Contestant: Sam Lewis

There are three things we are certain are true about Sam Lewis: (1) he has a big mustache; (2) he has a perfect daughter; and (3) he is a game designer. The rest? We can neither confirm nor deny at this time.

But that hasn't stopped the tabloids from trying to piece together the full story behind this enigmatic AI contestant who burst onto the scene:

• Was in the US Army for 4 years, stationed in Texas and Germany
  
• Was a disco-machine, teaching none other than John Travolta how to "stay alive"
  
• Has a BA and MBA from Northwestern University in Economics
  
• Although he had a lifelong dream of being a project manager at a corn meal factory, he was forced to enter the game industry
  
• He was (is?) the lowest paid member of his graduating class but insists that he's proud of that, saying that it's important to him to show that
  
• Has probably worked for the following companies: a small adventure game company, Mayfair Games (Dragonrider's of Pern; DC Heroes); FASA Corporation (BattleTech. Renegade Legion, Earthdawn and Shadowrun); Kesmai Corporation; EA.Com, for its brief existence; Castle Hill Studios (Never made it to the game stores? Forge); Sony Online Entertainment (Austin) (for a new MMO...which of course was canceled for a different MMO...which was cancelled...by the end of 18 months he had three projects cancelled (Seinfeld Curse?) But he did work on Star Wars Galaxies and on the Legacy quest series)...hmm...something's fishy about all this an we intend to get to the bottom of it!
  
• Currently claims to be working for the Cartoon Network as Lead Designer, at which he's working on an upcoming online game. When pressed for comment, Sam said "no comment."

We smell a story in the works because something is just not adding up...Paris Hilton, watch out -- you are about to lose your seat on the throne of US Magazine Weekly once this story hits the press!
