The aforementioned Jennings at one point appeared to be a consensus choice among viewers of the show. But in recent months the one time contestant has had a few bumps in the road. Jennings recently got drawn into a social media quagmire involving John Roderick, a musician now known as #BeanDad. Roderick, a friend who co-hosts a podcast with Jennings, became an online pariah after posting a Twitter thread about refusing to help his hungry young daughter open a can of baked beans. Jennings was slammed for coming to his defense.
He later took to Twitter to apologize after past tweets that he described as unartful and insensitive surfaced online. He added, Sometimes I said dumb things in a dumb way and I want to apologize to people who were (rightfully!) offended. It wasn t my intention to hurt anyone, but that doesn t matter: I screwed up, and I m truly sorry.
