You can just play the game again,\u201d they said. \u201cIf you do want to watch it, hope you enjoy it.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">When asked whether they pay attention to criticisms of the show, Ramsey also said they tried to &#8220;steer clear&#8221; of negative press surrounding the series.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">\u201cBecause there\u2019s nothing I can do about it anyway,&#8221; Ramsey observed. &#8220;The show is out.
