Ruth Collier
Ruth Collier was a semi-finalist from Series 37.
She beat Mark Wyndham-Jones in her first appearance, and only managed another two wins before losing at the hands of Christine White. She returned for the final stages as #6 seed, and beat Brett Smitheram by way of a sudden-death conundrum in the quarter-final before losing to eventual series champion Ray McPhie in the semi-final. She returned for Championship of Champions IX, and beat Tony Baylis and Bhavin Manek on her way to the semi-final, where she lost to eventual champion of champions Natascha Kearsey.
Ruth's husband Quin later appeared in series 39, but was less successful and admitted that she was always better than him at home.
