I thought maybe we could have a thread looking at the newbee each day, what they've contributed to the show on their initiation to DoND, and whether they have potential to be a great contestant in our humble opinion, judging on first impressions...

Some will stand out, others will fly under the radar: but if we cross reference it against their eventual game we can track the evolution of their DoND journey.

Any thoughts?

I'm quite an observant person in real life, but when it comes to DOND... I don't notice most contestants until they've done at least 5 or 6 shows. Hilary, Denis, Olly, Jonny and Ashleigh are all recent examples of newbies I noticed after their first show, and I liked them from the start; others such as... I've forgotten their names... I didn't really notice. Maybe I should make a point of looking out for the newbies for the purposes of this thread.

I don't really recognise/remember a lot of the newbies but there's no point really. We find out in a few shows anyway what they're like.
