'Real World D.C.'s' Mike Manning on fave Olympic snowboarders Shaun White and Gretchen Bleiler

Zap2it had a chance to talk to "Real World D.C.'s" controversial Christian bisexual Mike Manning about the 2010 Winter Olympics on Friday (Feb.12).

He may not have been able to choose his seven roommates, but when it came to Olympians, Mike knew exactly who he'd want to hang with.

"I love everything about the winter sports," says Mike. "Anything that has to do with the snow is my favorite. I love snowboarding. I love skiing. I love all that stuff. Those guys are really talented."

When we asked him if he had any Olympic favorites or crushes, snowboarders came to mind.

"If I could meet Shaun White, that would be pretty badass," says Mike as our minds went straight to the gutter. "No, no, no, not like a crush. I'm saying if I could just hang out with him and swap stories, that'd be pretty awesome. He just seems like a chill, easygoing guy, you know. He seems like he'd have some funny stories."

There was one Olympian that Mike would love to get his hands on. "[Gretchen Bleiler is] definitely a looker," he says. "If she needed a rubdown after the Olympics, I'd be all for it."

Let the games begin!
