"Survivor"

During "", the final nine castaways were supposed to receive videos from home, which they would compete to get to see.

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.cite web

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.
