RESULTS

Question: Will Ryan Lochte win Celebrity Big Brother?

  • Yes – 19.9%
  • No – 80.1%

80% of SwimSwam voters did not expect Ryan Lochte to win Celebrity Big Brother, while just under 20% thought he would win.

Lochte was one of twelve celebrities to compete on the reality TV show this season and one of two Olympians. You can read more about the cast and competition here.

As it turns out, the 80% were correct, as Lochte was evicted from the show on Monday night. Lochte was the second person eliminated after former White House Communications Director Anthony Scaramucci was revealed to be a “fake houseguest” and actor Jonathan Bennett was eliminated on day 10. Lochte was evicted on day 13.You can read our live recap of how that went down here.

No one said he’s made history or that he should be more proud of this than his pool accomplishments. Why are you pretending like they did? But he’s obviously interested in reality tv (this is at least his second go at it) and from what people are saying it sounds like he did a good job with this and maybe helped to rehab his public image a bit.

And there’s no reason to call people dumb for what shows they watch… these are tough times we live in and some people find comfort in being able to turn their brains off for a little bit and watch silly tv.
