Sam is addicted to video games and his GameGuy. His first appearance in the series involves him playing on his console, excited about an upgrade. He is known to enjoy MMORPG (Massively Multiplayer Online Role-Playing Game) games. As a result of his attachment, Sam's physical strength is lacking, and he is the second slowest contestant of the second generation, only faster than Staci. However, Sam is a kind, optimistic guy who is easy to get along with and not hesitant to give compliments. Even though he has bad luck, he wants to help his team win and be useful to them. He tends to use language and terms related to video games, such as when he calls his teammates "expert level awesome" in Saving Private Leechball. He also says he needs a "power up" or that his "power levels are low" whenever he is tired and low on energy. Whenever deprived of games, Sam will often hallucinate real life as being parts of a game, seeing the world as pixelated game sprites.
Speaks in gamer terms and upbeat compliments; talkative, slightly breathless when excited.
