Shaquille O’Neal joins the never ending roster of celebs who are turning to reality TV to collect extra coins. His new show Shaq Vs is on ABC and it pits the gargantuan center against top athletes in an erray of high-octane challenges. Shaq played volleyball Olympians Misty May-Treanor and Kerri Walsh in a game of beach volleyball and promised on Twitter to “wear a pink Speedo” if he lost.

Losing would be an understatement, notes Outsports’ Cyd Zeigler, who says the “only saving grace” of the episode was “Shaq’s sense of humor, which led him to his walk down the beach in a pink bikini. Even if he did pick some remote beach to do it on, the cameras caught it all.” Shaq has Tweeted that “my butts 2 big 2 fit in da seat” at certain amusement park rides, so the shot of his rather ample assets may interest some.

Future episodes of the hour-long show will feature Shaq against Olympic swimming sensation Michael Phelps, boxing legend Oscar De La Hoya, St. Louis Cardinals slugger Albert Pujols, tennis star Serena Williams.
