    Lochte is all over the place in the series, which tags along with him on his exploits (answering the title question with a simple "let's watch and see").

    Whether or not the shows ["Ke$ha: My Crazy Beautiful Life" and What Would Ryan Lochte Do?] are good is almost irrelevant (both fall in the category of "entertaining in an aggressively mediocre way").

    This isn't much different from the studied vapidity of an earlier E! star, Paris Hilton, except that Lochte seems awfully nice. [29 Apr 2013, p.40]

    There’s scant evidence the swimming star can keep this sort of vehicle afloat on his personality, and the show’s a little too G-rated in the early going (unless one counts tight Speedos) to qualify as a guilty pleasure.

    After you get past the show’s single joke (that would be Lochte’s personality) and the 11-time Olympic medalist’s washboard abs, one can only wonder how it will be possible to garner enough material for an entire series.

He makes all athletes look bad by fitting a stereotype and I hope America isn't silly enough to actually reward it.… Full Review »
