Lewis was raised Mormon in Franklin, New Hampshire.

She has twin daughters, Sadie and Sabrina.

[edit] Survivor

During Survivor: Borneo, the final nine castaways were supposed to receive videos from home, which they would compete to get to see. Lewis appeared eager to see her daughters, but Jeff Probst announced that the tape never came in. Lewis was voted off the island by three contestants who had an alliance and by Sean Kenniff, who was voting based on alphabetical order. Lewis was voted out 4-3-1.

In the first episode of Survivor: All Stars, Lewis successfully lobbied for Tina Wesson's elimination on the grounds that a former winner (in Wesson's case, the second season, Survivor: The Australian Outback) shouldn't be allowed to win again. Lewis survived to the final three, but after losing the last Immunity Challenge, was voted out by Rob Mariano.

[edit] Sex tape

In 2004, an explicit 42 minute long sex tape emerged featuring Lewis and husband Travis Wolfe in a Las Vegas hotel room.[1] The video includes full penetrative sex and oral sex. It was originally thought that Lewis and Wolfe made the sex video purely for their own private use and that it was somehow accidentally leaked onto the internet. In interviews, Lewis had even talked about the embarrassment she said she felt at the prospect of anybody being able to see her naked and performing sexual acts. However, this started to come into question as reports appeared suggesting that in fact Lewis decided to deliberately release a sex tape of herself to increase her fame and make money from it.[2] In some interviews Lewis even mentioned how people could buy the video[1] arousing further suspicion.

In December 2004, the New York Daily News reported that she and her manager were behind the website selling the tapes and were receiving 70 percent of the sales profits. The sex video, which quickly spread throughout the Internet, certainly did increase Lewis's level of fame, especially worldwide where the American version of Survivor is not broadcast and she was unknown. Lewis had previously turned down an offer to pose nude for Playboy after Survivor. Lewis and Wolfe later divorced.
