Olympic champion Ryan Lochte just scored his own TV show on E! called What Will Ryan Lochte Do? While he has TV experience (he had a cameo in Beverly Hills 90210), this is his first time putting his personality front and center over his athleticism. So, will he sink or swim?

As a Leo, Ryan loves attention, so he will probably thrive in front of the camera. While he’s not known for his brains, his brawn will be enough to attract fans into his life. His comments will have to be the comic relief for fans watching him pump iron for six episodes. Chances are, the show won’t go on much longer than that, as he has no striking aspects that will make him unique in the competitive world of media. However, associations are lucky for him, so playing part of a team serves him well. Being part of a TV ensemble would give him a higher chance of maintaining the spotlight.
