Is Ryan Lochte a contender to Win Dancing With the Stars 23? No matter how much the truth hurts, unlike Lochte, I can not tell a lie! Pretty much, universally disgraced American swimmer Ryan Lochte is apparently, a contender to win the 23rd edition of the wildly popular Dancing With the Stars. While Lochte himself will likely never tell the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth, the fact of the matter is that online betting odds have Lochte as a middle-of-the-pack contender that is favored over legendary crooner Babyface!
While Lochte is certainly not considered a favorite or a legitimate threat to some of the other entertainers, the question begs asking, could he actually pull off the upset? Let’s find out.

Analysis:
Let’s be honest for a minute and admit that Lochte is one this year’s version of Dancing With the Stars for one reasons and one reason only. He’s going to bring viewers to the television for two reasons. Viewers will either want to see the polarizing swimmer fail miserably or witness a feel-good story about redemption.
Personally, I think Lochte will bomb out, both in the chase of the coveted Mirrorball Trophy and with the American public that simply hasn’t forgotten how Lochte embarrassed the nation by lying about being robbed by gunpoint when, in reality, it was his decision to trash a local gas station that got him into trouble.
Lochte is paired with two-time DWTS winner Cheryl Burke, who has not participated since season 19 but has eight other top-five finishes and is a fan favorite, for both, her dancing acumen – and her skimpy outfits.
Still, Lochte is facing an uphill battle to win DWTS 23 and I suspect many folks won’t vote for him no matter how well he does. Lochte’s transgressions weren’t that long and Americans aren’t nearly as forgiving as they once were. If you don’t believe me, just go ask a Donald Trump supporter. Now…that’s the truth!
