TV shows olympians should do according to Huffington Post

Uploaded with Imgupr
Gabby Douglas, "The Vampire Diaries"
We know that all-around gymnastics champion Gabby Douglas is a huge fan of the CW drama (and apparently the feeling is mutual), so why not make her wish come true and bring her in as one of Bonnie's bewitching cousins? She's got a sweet spot for Ian Somerhalder and Elena is way too greedy, so maybe Gabby should cast a love spell on Damon next season.


Matt Mitcham, "Smash"
He's musically inclined -- take a look at his YouTube -- and easy on the eyes, two facts that make him a perfect fit for NBC's "Smash." That Aussie accent could melt the hearts of everybody from Ivy Lynn to Karen Cartwright.


Michael Phelps, "Parks & Recreation"
The reigning American golden boy would be a big get for a Pawnee event, and if there's one thing viewers know, it's that Leslie Knope dreams big. With Tom and Jean-Ralphio's Entertainment 720 know-how, a Pawnee pit-stop doesn't seem too unlikely.


McKayla Maroney, "Pretty Little Liars"
One of the USA's Fierce Five Olympic gymnastics team stood out for her attitude. McKayla Maroney certainly has the looks to be the perfect "Pretty Little Liars" guest star; she can serve up all the sass needed to stand out on the show (as exemplified by her now infamous expression during the vault medal ceremony, in which she received a silver after falling on her behind). Maybe she could be Aria's cousin who drops by Rosewood for a visit? She'll have to lose the scrunchie if she wants to fit in on this incredibly fashionable ABC Family show.


Allyson Felix, "Scandal"
After giving ABC's sophomore drama "Scandal" a shout-out on TV as one of her favorite shows, gold medalist Allyson Felix received tweets from the show's cast thanking her for the love, and now she's visiting the show's L.A. set this week. Maybe she can give them some inspiration for a sports-related PR scandal for Season 2 ...


Aly Raisman's Parents, "Modern Family"
Aly Raisman's parents: Best Olympics reactions ever. The two of them wouldn't even need to stop by "Modern Family" to get a shout-out -- can't you just see Mitch and Cam having similarly spastic reactions to Lily's first big gymnastics meet?


Nathan Adrian, "Revenge"
Considering how much Olympic swimming champion Nathan Adrian looks like Joshua Bowman, who plays Daniel on "Revenge," Adrian should really make an appearance on the ABC drama as his long-lost twin brother. Victoria lied about her daughter Charlotte's origins so she could definitely have lied about Daniel's too. Plus, who wouldn't want to see Adrian sunbathing on the Hamptons beach?


Sanya Richards-Ross, "Football Wives"
The gold medal-winning sprinter who stole the show at the London games is married to Jacksonville Jaguars cornerback Aaron Ross. If they'd let reality TV cameras into their lives, they could easily emerge as the breakout power couple of VH1's "Football Wives."



Missy Franklin, "Glee"
Anyone who smiles as much as young gold medalist Missy Franklin needs to do a musical. The teen Olympic swimmer -- who showed off her lip-syncing and dancing skills in the swim team's "Call Me Maybe" video -- could clearly show the New Directions a thing or two. They really could have used her for Will's poolside proposal to Emma.


Lolo Jones, "The Virgin Diaries"
Olympic hurdler Lolo Jones may not have medaled in London, but she gained notoriety for her triumphant life story and proclamation that she's saving herself for her future husband. Who wouldn't tune in to watch the 29-year-old superstar's adventures in dating on TLC's "The Virgin Diaries"?


Ryan Lochte may have thought his 15 minutes or so of fame would have a little bit of an extended life after his Olympic performance in London. But after he sold his home in Gainesville, FL for plans to move to LA, poor Lochte got the news that he won’t be appearing on the next Bachelor.

A source told E! Lochte may have only been briefly considered stating "We honestly briefly considered him, but we are going elsewhere. It's really down to Arie and Sean [fan favorites from the past year’s Bachelorette]."
I for one am very disappointed in this turn of events. As someone who can’t stand watching any of the Bachelor/ette shows, having Lochte on may have piqued my interest regardless of his stellar(?) on-camera skills. Because in all honesty, women are watching Lochte for his interviewing skills as much as guys watch Kate Upton for her high fashion modeling pictures.

But for other Lochte lovers out there, fear not as the move to LA is still inevitable and he’s been snatching up cameos in shows like 90210, 30 Rock, was a special correspondent for E! during New York City’s Fashion Week and has been offered a spot on another E! dating show dubbed Ready for Love.

Jeah. Jeah. Jeah.

omg that would be both awesome and terrifying at the same time.
yinker 11th-Sep-2012 03:08 pm (UTC)
Gabby on Vampire Diaries? idk but I agree with Raisman's parents for MF. I can see it.

OT but why is it so hard to get over an ex? I thought I was completely over this dude until I find out he has a new gf who won't stop posting pics of him all over every social network. I'm so annoyed, and can't sleep now cause I'm thinking about how happy they must be and how depressed and lonely I am lying in this empty room, alone in my bed :( lol

There should only be one show.

It should just be Ryan Lochte, Michael Phelps, Nathan Adrian, Cullen Jones and all their swimbros hanging out.

Everyone but Tyler Clary.
grumpibear501 11th-Sep-2012 03:15 pm (UTC)
I approve this message.

lotikuma 11th-Sep-2012 03:16 pm (UTC)
or maybe they should include Tyler Clary and have only Nojeah4u moments with him
brucelynn 11th-Sep-2012 03:17 pm (UTC)
I agree

YAAAAAAS.
djtino224 11th-Sep-2012 04:28 pm (UTC)
YES to all of this.
gingerk5 11th-Sep-2012 05:15 pm (UTC)
best idea and it's not even on the list.
chuk_is_dazzled 11th-Sep-2012 07:32 pm (UTC)
lol yes
foxtree 11th-Sep-2012 08:34 pm (UTC)
I don't know why it's taking some network so many years to get on this, tbh.
ayajedi 11th-Sep-2012 11:59 pm (UTC)
I agree with this comment
sastra_fuss 11th-Sep-2012 03:11 pm (UTC)
No, none of them can act. Let them do what they do best, be athletes and not deliver a few awkward lines on random shows
yinker 11th-Sep-2012 03:17 pm (UTC)
This just reminded me of Gabby on Ellen today. They were doing a mock commercial and she couldnt even read the 2 lines she was given. They def need to stick to their sports lol
wits 11th-Sep-2012 03:14 pm (UTC)
omg nathan adrian does kind of look like josh bowman lmao
grumpibear501 11th-Sep-2012 03:16 pm (UTC)
ikr, now that they mentioned it, i def see the resemblance
brucelynn 11th-Sep-2012 03:16 pm (UTC)
No Sanya is too flawless and classy for Football Wives

I love that woman she is amazing

I still think Cullen and Reezy should be on Psych because they really are the irl Shawn and Gus

Edited at 2012-09-11 03:18 pm (UTC)
okay_awesome 11th-Sep-2012 03:23 pm (UTC)
I would die of excitement if Cullen and Reezy were on Psych
__papillon 11th-Sep-2012 03:18 pm (UTC)

this would be a lot more accurate if it had mckayla instead of gabby lol.
ch33rylips 11th-Sep-2012 03:36 pm (UTC)
Wtf is going on in this pic?

wtf so weird
manubra 11th-Sep-2012 03:18 pm (UTC)
this post is a bit confusing, I see repeats.
So glad that Reezy is not the next bachelor, that show is just embarrassing.
brightstarsure 11th-Sep-2012 03:23 pm (UTC)
It really is.
ayajedi 11th-Sep-2012 11:59 pm (UTC)
I agree
cluelessraf 11th-Sep-2012 03:25 pm (UTC)
I wonder if Aly Raismen's parents are from the South Shore.. would make A LOT of sense.
slaughtermatic 11th-Sep-2012 03:28 pm (UTC)
TV shows olympians should do:

None, because they're not actors.
brightstarsure 11th-Sep-2012 03:31 pm (UTC)
But what if you're not watching for the acting portion?
slaughtermatic 11th-Sep-2012 03:35 pm (UTC)
Then you're doing it wrong.

Unless it's reality like celebrity apprentice or the bachelor or hillbilly handfishing in which case idc they can knock themselves out.
ch33rylips 11th-Sep-2012 03:35 pm (UTC)
Noooooo to MPeezy doing any sort of acting.
