Is Ryan Lochte really dumb? Last night’s premiere episode of What Would Ryan Lochte Do? certainly hammed up his idiocy, but this time Lochte has to be in on the joke. Right? The quirky, celebrated Olympic swimmer knows he’s an all-American good looking guy with a great body that sometimes (OK, who are we kidding — most times) comes across as a hair-brained idiot in interviews, but he doesn’t care.
