After the Olympics, he wanted to do Dancing with the Stars or The Bachelor.
Clearly he wasn't wanted and now we can see why, and the best he could do was a stint on 'Fashion Police' where he spoke of liking fashion and wanting his own line one day and blah blah blah. And I believe from that point on someone gave him a chance. [shrug]
I get why on paper they may have wanted him. An Olympic gold medalist seems more highbrow than their usual lot of famewhoring nobodies but it seems he's just as bad.
Really? I heard he was asked to do Dancing with the Stars and Bachelor but he turned them down because he wanted to do his own show. He should have gone with the other 2.
Huh! I think he's lying then. He talked about it constantly post-Olympics.. how much he wanted to do one of those shows. If they had asked him I think he would have accepted.. so I have to believe that they didn't.
