Craig also said the relationship is “the best thing that ever happened to me”.
When asked why Collins was not in the inviting tournament too, Craig explained that she was unable to attend and go against him – still. “We would love a lot,” he continued. “She would like to have been here, but logistics just didn’t work. So we hope next time.”

Ryan appeared on October 28, 2024, the episode of the show and faced a given in the category “Complete the phrase of poems …” reading, “men rarely make crossings …”
Ryan finished the sentence, responding to “girls who wear glasses”.
Jennings immediately apologized Ryan, who was wearing glasses. In an interview published in Binghamton University student newspaper on November 4, Ryan said the data was “obviously a strange choice”.
“I think it made everyone in the audience and on stage, and Ken Jennings too, a little unpleasant,” she said at the time. “It was like,” oh, it was unexpected. “Maybe we choose the best phrase with poems in 2024. Unfortunately, there are still girls who are (inside) high school and they don’t want to wear their glasses and they They are lost for their education.
Ryan ultimately came in second place during the game, losing $ 1 for Ian Taylor, a Cleveland, Ohio food sales representative. Despite the given controversy, she provided the newspaper, “I had a good time. Everyone was very welcoming.”
