Let's get to today's challenge...

IN MEMORIAM...

It is now time to remember those who were eliminated before. Today, you guys will be completing a recollection puzzle! Here's how it works. As you can see below, there are 26 circles with a letter labeling each. Each of these lettered circles represents one of the previously eliminated competitors from season 14 of Let's Spoon. In between each letter, there is a number. This number represents a common characteristic that BOTH adjacent letters/players share. These numbered characteristics have been given in both the image below, and as a text version.

Your job is to figure out which eliminated contestant belongs to each letter. The contestant represented by each letter has to have the characteristic represented by both numbers on either side of it. Likewise, the characteristic represented by each number has to be expressed by both of the contestants on either side of it. Contestants are not used for more than one letter.

Here is the puzzle:



Here is a text version of the 26 characteristics, numbered accordingly as the puzzle above shows!
