Ryan Lochte lands E! reality show


Ever wonder what would Ryan Lochte do? You are about to find out.

E! has given the Olympic swimming star his own reality show. The network ordered six episodes of What Would Ryan Lochte Do, which will take viewers “inside the unpredictable and offbeat life of the 2012 London Olympic Games’ breakout star.”

A sneak peek of the show was screened for reporters, in which Lochte came off a tad, well, dense. “I don’t even know what is a douchebag,” the swimmer said when asked about being called the term. “I don’t even know what it means.”

“How many people fall in love with the smartest guy in the class? They fall for the fastest swimmer,” E! President Suzanne Kiln told EW.

The show will follow Lochte as he hunts for the “right gal” and continues his training regimen. E! promises the show, which debuts in April, will also feature plenty of unfiltered “Lochteisms,” such as this quote: “I always pee in a pool. Doesn’t everyone?”

He's an imbecile who is also a celebrated athlete. He is also a heterosexual white male. The cards are stacked against him. He is the type of person who will buy into the hype about himself, and he will believe that he is invincible. He will then react with violence on the rare occasion that he doesn't get his way. It's happened countless times before, and it will happen again. Especially when people blindly adore a person who is so obviously stunted.

A thoughtful, nuanced response.

Your cro-magnon king would be oh so proud.

I assume you find horse shit to also be nuanced?

Oh, so typing rational sentences with zero profanity equals anger? Ok, then.

Eh, I see your point, but swimming isn't exactly a hyper-entitled, aggression-filled sport. The culture is very different, even at the highest level. It also helps that the men grow up in a sport where they train and are teammates with women.

I think that's true, but once he gets out of the pool, he's in the same culture that pro athletes are in. Parties, drugs, endless streams of people who are willing to do whatever it takes to make him happy. It's not helpful in fostering positive character development. He's a ticking timebomb imo.

oh for pete's sakes, that's going overboard even for here. you'd be peeing your pants if someone said "omg, so and so is a popular black athlete with money, so I'm randomly guessing he's gonna go kill or rape someone."
