Watch the Full Michael Phelps vs Shark Race from #SharkWeek
Did Michael Phelps actually race a shark last night? Not quite.
The most highly publicized special for this year’s Shark Week was “Phelps vs. Shark,“ which kicked off the week-long celebration just last night. The special promised a race between Olympic gold medalist Michael Phelps and a shark, but most viewers were left confused and angry when it failed to deliver as promised.
Granted, I’m not sure anyone actually expected that Michael Phelps would be thrown into the water with a shark, but what we got last night was a simulation featuring Phelps swimming alongside, well, nothing at all. A computer-generated shark was added into the water in post-production, allowing us to see what such a race *could* look like.
Yes, it was basically Phelps up against a shark from a Syfy movie. Sigh.

The 100-meter race (dubbed “the battle for ocean supremacy”) was won by the CGI shark, beating Phelps by just two seconds. If you missed it, you can watch below.
Are you watching? Ishana Night Shyamalan has clearly been paying attention to her father, M. Night Shyamalan. Not only is she following in his footsteps as a filmmaker, but she’s also embracing a similar mystique surrounding her work.
The new trailer for her feature directorial debut, The Watchers, gives viewers a taste of what’s in store. AreYouWatching.com has launched with even more clues.
Visit the site to join the mysterious creatures that lurk in the Irish forest as you observe a shelter. From the time the sun sets at 7:30 PM until it rises at 5:55 AM, four strangers — played by Dakota Fanning, Georgina Campbell, Oliver Finnegan, and Olwen Fouere — can be seen trapped inside.
You’ll find several interactive items. Click on the gramophone to set the mood with some spooky music. Tap on the birdcage to hear an ominous message from the parrot inside: “I’m going out, try not to die.” Press on the TV to watch clips from a fake reality show called Lair of Love. And if you tap on the window during the daytime … they’ll tap back.
There are also Easter eggs hidden at specific times. We’ve discovered three: a disorienting shot of Fanning’s character’s car at 5:52 PM, a closer view of the captives at 11:11 PM, and a glimpse of monitors at 12:46 AM. Let us know if you find any more in the comments…
The Watchers opens in theaters on June 14 via New Line Cinema. Ishana Night Shyamalan writes and directs, based on the 2022 novel of the same name by A.M. Shine. M. Night Shyamalan produces.
