Ryan Lochte: The Next 'Bachelor?'

Ryan Lochte, the sexy Olympian swimmer who gets his jollies from peeing in pools, is seriously being considered to become ABC’s next “Bachelor.”

However the slim-torsoed man is demanding a hefty paycheck to appear on the show, because it’s important that your work pays you well enough to make it worth the long hours of flirting with beautiful women and drinking champagne in hot tubs.

How much does the bronzed boy want?

A hefty $750,000, minimum.

“Ryan’s agents are getting besieged with offers and deals… but Ryan will need at least $750,000 from ABC—or possibly even $1 million—to snag the deal,” an insider reports.

That’s about $250,000 more than ABC has offered to Roberto Martinez, who is also in the running to become the next Bachelor.

Lochte told HollywoodLife.com, “If they ask me then I will definitely think about it. But before I commit to it, I will ask my family and see what they think.”

Lochte also has other reservations beyond his mother’s disapproval to consider.

“Ryan is acutely aware that he has to attach himself to the right projects and endorsements that won’t do damage to his all American image… he wouldn’t have any control on how he is portrayed on the show.”

And good PR is a must for the be-grilled Lochte, who has happily announced that he gets a true joy out of peeing in the pool, and whose mother had to scramble to clarify that when she said her son had a lot of “one-night stands,” she meant dates. No, really. Dates.

Honestly, it would bring in a lot of audience to have Lochte on the show, if not to gawk at the smoking hot swimmer, than to wait expectantly for something a little ridiculous to come out of his mouth as he’s handing out roses to those lucky ladies.

Just make sure he uses the bathroom before he slips into that jacuzzi, girls.
