Will he blow it all on drugs and cars? Did he plot against his fellow finalists? Is he the new most popular guy in his hometown? Find out all this and more! Plus: BioShock Infinite gets delayed, Dishonored plays Russian Roulette with its release date, and the April sales numbers are bad for everyone.
