Entertainment Tonight Teaser On Dancing With The Stars Season 23, Can Ryan Lochte’s Image Be Repaired?
Below is a fun teaser on the new season of Dancing With The Stars and how images can be repaired. If Ryan Lochte is dancing, can his image be repaired too like others in the past? I’m wishing him the best.
It will be interesting to see how this unfolds. Is the scandal too fresh in everyones minds? Or not.
I have a feeling Ryan is Sharna’s partner. In a normal season I would have predicted a possible win for these two. Now I’m not sure how this will go. Ryan could even be an early exit this season.
Before this all I knew of Ryan Lochte was he was in Michael Phelps shadow. They did an NBC interview with him and how they’d been friends and inspired each other which made me excited about the prospect of him going on DWTS.
I have to admit I was more than upset that he pulled this and left his teammates holding the bag. In reality though it’s not much different from the things Phelps or numerous other athletes have been involved in EXCEPT that it was on an international stage. So yeah it’s a big deal that way but if he acts like a decent person works hard and shows some remorse I think he can move past this. The question as far as the show goes is whether the viewers are ready to move on and focus on his dancing.
I’m not getting the hoopla over this scandal. Ok he lied and vandalized But got caught and admired to it. Do I condone his behavior…..hell no. Is it the worst thing a celebrity has done….no. if anything this just seems like a waste of time on Brazil’s part. They aren’t going to give him jail time….he is going to throw some substantial donation their way to whatever and they they are just going to let it slide. They have other things to worry about.
@Sandy I don’t think Ryan’s with Sharna. She’s in Texas right now, which has led people to especulate her partner could be James Hinchcliffe.
Which, assuming Jenna has Jake T. Austin, can only mean Ryan is with Witney.
This is BS I have only watched this show on and off over the years and I am sure not going to watch this time. Why does this guy get rewarded, the Brazilans want him to be held to account. If anyone why not have someone like that sweet girl Domenic Dawes who got more flack for not holding her heart as she listened respectfully to the national anthem? It is really time to stop coddling a 32 year old man for acting like a child.
I’m guessing witney had Ryan as well….the Rehersal footage should be fun. They are going to look good together if that’s the pairing.
Maybe Emma has Ryan?
I’m blown away by the magnitude of this scandal. I’m with you completely, Vin. He made a really stupid mistake, but as far a I’m concerned he embarrassed himself much more than he embarrassed me on behalf of my country, and he has paid the price. I’m more astounded that we would put either of the two presidential candidates in office in just a few months. That, to me, is the real national scandal.
Rose1 and Vin, i completely agree with the two of you. I in no way condone his behavior, but I think the truth of the whole thing lies somewhere between what he’s said and what the Rio police say. USA Today actually did a really great story on this (http://www.usatoday.com/story/sports/olympics/rio-2016/2016/08/21/investigation-ryan-lochte-rio-olympics-authorities/89082232/) and I wish major TV outlets would report more of that stuff. Saying that, I realize Ryan still has a lot to do to clean up his image.
I was kind of hoping he would be with Emma, but it’s looking more like he’s with Witney. Unless of course that elephant clue with Emma is like the elephant in the room, and the woods thing today has to do with his new sponsorship with Pine Bros. But all of that seems like a bit of a stretch.
I’m all for image repair and everything, so whatever. I think maybe he would have been better off in the spring season, but I get that he’s big buzz right now so there will be lots of media interest in it.
That being said, even before all of this I was of the opinion that Ryan Lochte might be the dumbest person alive. Just not a bright guy. I am pretty sure the collective IQ of he and Witney might set the bar for an all-time low for a DWTS pairing.
Sharna’s snapchat says she’s on the east coast though..
Thanks Fig for saying what I was thinking regarding the sharpness challenged duo of Witney and Ryan.
?
Reporters went back to the bathroom and nothing was amiss. Like the above poster stated I think the situation has been misrepresented.
Anyone who equates Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton has some serious reading and research to do. Now, keep the politics off this site please. Especially the offensive man that’s running.
I found the clip that I’ve been looking for since the start of the olympics lol. This pretty much is what I imagine he is going to be like on the show. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=X5lgKJiwHks
dwts has a serious issue. if ryan lockte is on this season, there will be boycotts. its not too late to dump him. many peole dont want to see him get ‘rewarded’ for his actions.
They won’t dump him. They will leave his fate up to the viewers. While I’m not boycotting the show… I am boycotting any support for Ryan and his partner.
With Cheryl pretty much confirmed (I believe) as Ryan’s partner, I think that is a much smarter choice for his image and overall journey on the show. I am a little disappointed at the missed opportunity for trainwreck potential with Witney, but I’m truly glad for the quality and heart of the show that he’s with a more mature and seasoned pro like Cheryl.
Thanks for constantly keeping us updated Mods! You guys are the best!
Cheryl is, in my opinion, an excellent choice for him. I like Ryan, so as funny as the situation could of been, I’m glad he has a tough teacher that knows how to get stuff done. I actually would have loved to have seen him with Karina, but since that’s obviously not happening bringing Cheryl back was smart. And it will be nice to have her back in the ballroom.
Fig, I agree. Cheryl will whip him into shape and she won’t put up with any shenanigans from him.
