Did Ryan Lochte Turn Down The Bachelor?

Ryan Lochte

It's a rough week to be Ryan Lochte.

In a recent interview with E! Online, the Olympian said he turned down offers to appear on The Bachelor and Dancing with the Stars. "I was like, 'Why don't I just have my own reality TV show, and just put it all in there myself?' Do it my own way."

Stars who deserve their own late-night talk show

However, ABC executive Robert Mills, who oversees development and production of reality programming such as The Bachelor, quickly rebuffed Lochte's claim. "Uhhh...you were never offered Bachelor," he wrote on Twitter Tuesday shortly after the interview was posted.

The Wednesday Playlist: Spies Abroad, DirecTV's Rogue, Meet ABC's Parents

David Tennant

BBC America's Spies of Warsaw, a two-part miniseries adaptation (concluding Tuesday, April 10) of his 2008 novel, loses none of its twisty allure and passionate urgency in the translation from page to screen (9/8c). Tension comes with the territory of late-'30s Poland, a country harboring refugees and dissidents in a murky culture of political intrigue, as everyone nervously waits for the jackboot to drop as rumors spread of Nazi aggression. read more

Premise: True love (or a TV facsimile thereof) gets the reality treatment in this long-running dating game, in which a successful bachelor romances a number of beauties. The list of possible paramours is reduced each week until he gives a final red rose to one of them. The series spun off 'The Bachelorette', a spate of rip-offs and very few lasting pairings.
