And they let him be on it? No thanks. They may change their minds and distance themselves like the sponsors did. Or maybe they're trying to generate viewers? Who knows.

Fits right in.

He said he's a good dancer & the ladies love him.

His body alone fits the bill. Was he chosen before or after the scandal?

I heard they were in talks and nothing was confirmed. Full cast will be announced next week.

Shocked! Shocked!

Well, not really ;-)

He's a fame whore who's trying to rekindle his reality tv career. I wish him well with DWTS and hope he can spin something from it. He'll need to since he's as dumb as a bag of hair.

Huh, well. I'll have to see who else is on before I decide if I'll bother watching. He is definitely not a draw for me.

Reality show? Oh my. Went and looked it up. How did we ever have someone represent us that has a "Lochterage", and expect anything less than the showing we got in Rio? Dang, will we ever learn?

Exactly, rob. When I first heard the "robbery at gunpoint" story, I was skeptical to say the least.

You HAVE to watch this! You will cry from laughing so hard!

I'm halfway through. he says if I'm a man a night, I need to be a man in the morning... and he means, if he goes out partying, he doesn't let it interfere with training. Um. Really? You'd say you were being a man in Rio? That just flies in the face of the interview! I can see why she is laughing so hard, but wow, they taped it for all to see? shaking my head

I thought the story sounded fishy too & knew more would come
out.

Yes,
he had a reality show for a year on cable. I'm guilty of watching it.

that interview was so funny! I didn't realize there wasn't much upstairs with Locthe, but there isn't, is there?

There's no "there" there. Well, great abs so there's that.

Marinating in chlorine kills the brain cells. (Didn't you know that?)

"Smart as a bag of hair" Ha!

He is so arrogant it makes me sick to see him! Since the public vote counts on DWS...I hope he doesn't get many.

Plus now Brazil wants him back.

I thought his first account was plausible - I'd read where some of the athletes had changed their plans to have their families fly in to attend after arriving to practice there.

But his explanation of his behavior was killer. 'I behaved immaturely'.

18 yr olds can behave immaturely, he's 32 yrs old.

I had to laugh at his explanation that he "overly exaggerated". You know, as opposed to exaggerated.

I don't find his body the least bit attractive in that picture. He has a 2 pack, not a 6 pack and he not proportional. Look at those skinny!!! ankles.

he might have "overly exaggerated" the story, but I wonder if he realizes his body is "underly exaggerated". Shame on him!

I guess it's no surprise.

Ryan Lochte dumped by THREE major sponsors as Speedo, Ralph Lauren and Syneron Candela react to 'mugging' scandal.

You're right justlinda. His body shape is weird.

Maybe skinny legs makes him swim faster?

I have never watched a single episode and more than likely never will. I just don't get this show. They dance. Wow.

I've been impressed and even inspired by some of the dancing on DWTS. However, I'm fully aware that the show is basically a platform for wanna-be fauxlebrities, Youtube "sensations", reality tv divas, LONG-past-their-expiration-date tv actors and train wrecks in need of rehabing their image to get exposure in order to extend their 15 minutes, while pocketing a TON of money.

Exactly. I only knew 2 people from last season. I had to google the rest to figure out who they were.

Bird Legs!
