If you were able to let one contestant have another chance in the 'crazy chair' who would you choose?

I'd actually like to see the very first contestant Lynn have another chance, even though she won a nice sum of £14,000 i'd like to see how Lynn would play her game today with the way the show has evolved since 2005.

Very interesting question, and an interesting choice of contestant you chose!

I would personally choose one of the following shortlist:

Andrew
Philomena
Bernie
Natasha

Obviously there are more but these four come up in my head straightaway that had undeserving games.

There is a similar thread here - http://www.dond.co.uk/forum/viewtopic.php?t=12084 - although it doesn't really cover those who had trainwrecks etc. but still managed to get a few thousand out of it, even though it'd have been nice if they'd won more. As

I said in that thread, I'd have really liked the following people to have done better (who won blues):

10p Pete
10p Steve
£39 Robin
10p Lee
£10 Olly
£49 Roy
1p Trevor
52p Irene
£250 Ashok
£1 Raj
£20 Geordie
1p Sally
1p Giorgio
10p Jay

And I suppose I should add Jim R and Philomena to that list, as Jim R was such a character but he went away with so little, and Philomena's game just fell apart around her. Siobhan, Vicky, recent Glen and Juliah could be added for similar reasons.

Of the "low red" wins, Pat M and Stevie are the ones that stick out for me most - although Stevie did have the chance of dealing at a rather nice 8-box offer of over £20k, so you could say she did have the chance of fairly big money. Brunhilde is another one, as she wanted the money for good reasons, but again, she did have the chance to deal a good £20k offer at at a dealable stage in the game. Julian is another - although he did turn down a rather generous £30k offer, so he did have the chance to deal at a nice sum.

Also, as much as Orry wasn't one of my favourites, he was clearly a very caring person and was well-liked in the Dream Factory, so it wasn't pleasant to see him only win £1 (+£1,000).

As I've stated before I'm dead against the idea of anyone having a second chance blah blah.

Leaving aside personal preferences I think the 1p winners would be the most deserving mainly because they were more or less forced to go to the end though sheer bad luck or taking a risk.

What basicasic said but 1p Sharron and people etc. becuase of cr*p offers.

Basically, anyone who won a blue when even a big coward would have done the same.

That means Philomena, Sharron and half of the September 2007 players.

I'd love to give Siobhan another chance to play again she had relentless bad luck and I have a good feeling if she played again she would win alot.

Also 1k Lynn from May to play again I felt sorry for her.

I'd give 21k Donna another chance to get it right.

Imagine if she won 1p at least I'll get my earplugs this time instead of back in December when she was blubbering and I had to watch

If she had a second chance and won 1p, her reaction would be exactly the same, just without the tears.

Basically blaming anybody she could wave a finger at ...I'm being cruel, sorry. In a sense though I'd love her to have another shot, and see if greed would make her play the game any different than last time

I'd give someone who either crashed horribly from a strong board (eg. 1p Katie), and people who had trainwrecks (eg. Geordie, Emi, Sharron, Ken, Glen, Siobhan etc.) second chances.

There's only 2 people who deserve another game, and that's 1p Trevor and Orry.

I'd like it to be someone who effectively never got a chance and won pocket change without ever having a hard decision to make, and also a really entertaining charcter who was really memorable, on balance, if I have to say just one, I'll go for Siobhan, as she never got an offer over £500 except the first one, it just wasn't a game, and she was a legend!

£1 Mike and Giorgio would be close behind - all three's highest offer was the first too!

This goes against the whole idea of the game "Deal or No Deal"
as Noel has said more than once.
You only get to sit in the crazy chair once, but if your talking hypothetically the only people who deserve another chance are the 1p winners, perhaps if they get to 22 X 1p winners they could make an intereresting show out of that, but i don't think it would ever happen.

I'd like to see Louise from December 07 have another go, just so she doesn't have to wear that stupid outfit.

Next time she should wear a nice pair of tight jeans....or a bikini.....

The most overused phrase on DOND is "I'm only here once," but if any of them deserve another shot, it's the ones who played during the "battle of the sexes." If it wasn't for that, I think most of them would have won lots more than they did.

I'd give another chance to any players who won below £1,000

The ones I think who couldn't have another chance are the ones who could've been QM winners...

*Slaps you hard around the face*

Give him another slap for me! Nice idea though...

We all know that Miss Orry needs another go she's the queen of Channel 4
