I can't help but be disappointed with a person that doesn't have problem lying or cheating.

I do admire people who value integrity more than money

So...it will be like every other season.

Yawn.

It's a good show, but they need to put it on ice for a couple years then bring it back. I take it for granted and don't watch it anymore.

I don't think he said he doesn't have a problem with lying and cheating in general...I think he meant for the purposes of the game. I would feel the same way...for the game.

Maybe you missed the line about how he is a BYU Drop out. He had his shirt on while he was at BYU. He only took it off when he left.

The picture is a little "revealing". Especially for a returned missionary.

Wish some people would recognize that a guy can look hot in a nice business suit and not just with next to no clothes. Same said for girls. Cover some of that skin. You don't look hot - you look ready to give it up!

This world is not a competition to see who can bare the most - although in some people's minds - I believe that's what they are thinking. Too bad. People really don't enjoy used merchandise. Even if it just looks like its been used (or wants to be)

Good luck to him though - I guess!!

Yikes stripes!! I know where all the take-bake lotion went. Look out for the abominable lee-man that comes out of the water and nibbles on ankles while dreaming. Thialand has a lot of C-monstars too, maybe it's his destiny to get eatan by TResz Skultz...let the games begin rat-pack

I must have missed that line too - and I've read it a few times to make sure. Actually I don't see BYU mentioned at all.........

Good point Mr/Mrs Anonymous. Have you ever thought that maybe, just maybe this strapping lad had nothing to do with the picture and had to do what the producers wanted? Just something for thought.

Maybe the producers did tell him to pose that way. Doesn't make it right and all it seems to do is make the minds of young women wander off in to places they shouldn't be wandering. Producers or not - it was HIS CHOICE! Anyone can walk away!

So, you're telling me you wouldn't have a picture taken of you with your shirt off, if a million dollars was on the line? There are plenty of other places for young women to find pictures of guys with there shirts off. Who's teaching them not to look for those pictures? Don't we all have free agency?

I might be a little old fashioned, but I don't even think you should swim with your shirt off.

Well, he obviously wasn't protected at that time. Maybe he gets injured or dies out there...

Hey Anonymous, did you look at that picture? Worry about your own commitments and stop telling everyone else how it should be done!

I wouldn't allow my daughters to watch the Olympics due to the "revealing" swimwear that Michael Phelps chose to wear, I certainly won't allow their minds to wander off where they are certainly wont to wander by watching young men such as this who choose to flaunt their bodies so gratuitously!

So many are so quick to judge as if you all know the circumstances behind everything he is involved in. Maybe he doesn't have a recommend anymore! Either way, none of that is any of your concern. You are willing to call someone out for apparently not living their religion when that same religion tells you not to judge. We're is the love people. I say rock on Tyson! I hope you bring home the million!
