The real reason to watch, though, is just to see this giant, goofball of a man do things outside of his comfort zone. Last season he took on Michael Phelps and struggled to make it back and forth through the pool. He also faced off against Kerri Walsh and Misty May-Treanor and ended up wearing a pink speedo down the street. He's got a good sense of humor about himself, along with a healthy dose of confidence and that's what makes this show good summer fare. Tonight he's facing off against Dale Earnhardt Jr., and I'm looking forward to seeing him try and squish that big frame into one of those tiny tin cars. And I'm glad that he's branching out this season and expanding beyond sports -- he's going to try and out-cook Rachael Ray (like that's hard), out-sing Justin Bieber and out-eat competitive eater Joey Chestnut. I'm skeptical that he'll fare better at most of these things than the other sports, but I'm game to watch him try.

The show returns tonight at 9 PM on ABC, but check our listings if you want other options.
