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.”

“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.
