Was just wondering which month this year had the best contestants in, as in terms of the ones who played their games in that month (otherwise it gets a bit confusing, as some joined in one month but played in another, or joined and played in the same month...).

And you can't vote for August-December yet as they've not been shown on TV :P

May without a doubt... I don't think any month so far in 2008 even comes close. May saw Graham, Tom P, Betty, Jo, Zoe & Zara, Si, Sheron, Linda, Mark, Jimbo, Emjay, Harvey, Ellie and Andy - all memorable contestants in one way or another. March and April were pretty good too, with players like Ken, George, Brian, Simmo, Big Ron, Eunice, Dave and Jack, but those 2 months weren't as good as the one month of May in my opinion.

In fact I'd go as far as to say May 2008 had one of my favourite ever wing line-ups with the aforementioned people in it... it's just a shame that so many of them had either games which had bad luck or crap deals. :(

May, without a shadow of a doubt. For pretty much the same reason as H has already said. I've said before that I believe Graham/Betty's game was a peak of great contestants.

I'd add Ian and although he didn't play in May, Len to the list.

April I think - Shirley, Big Ron, Eunice, Derek Brown, Janna, Ronnie, Kay and Dave were all really good, I thought. Wasn't particularly keen on the majority of the May players H listed...and I didn't see February, March or most of January...and the June/July people were nothing special. So it has to be April.

February was absolutely dire really, with Bing, Shaz and Justin being the only memorable players...

I didn't really like a lot of April's players, particularly late April. (although Eunice, Rachel, Janna and Angela were all good) March was good, but only really for a week or two towards the end. July was good, but not as good as the preceeding months.

So it was between May and June for me. I went for June in the end (Len, Steve, Melissa, Tommii, Mavis, Gracey, Jade, Yvi, Septic Sue, Liam, Clayton)...but May is probably joint favourite. (Sheron, Betty, twins, Jo, Mark, Jimbo, Tom, Harvey, Ellie all making this a strong month). In fact yeah, I can't decide. But I went for June. But all the months had good players and then mediocre ones...

I'm going for May as well for reasons already stated. Even though only really Betty's game stands out as awesome, the wings were good fun and those who did have misfortune generally took it well like Allan, Ian and Janine. I even (dons bulletproof jacket here) quite liked Richard, despite his deal which was admittedly awful!! :shock:

Frankly I never liked Richard anyway. I have a strong hatred against footballers. Now I see why. :lol:

Ouch, I didn't like Richard one bit. And that was before his deal... :shock:

I can't say I was particularly over-keen on Richard either, even during his time on the wings...

Actually I don't remember him much from before he played...I just remember really enjoying his game, up until the deal anyway! :)

To be honest, if Richard hadn't have done the deal when he did, i wouldn't have remembered him...

He didn't do anything on the wings, hence why he played after 18 games (including his own). He was your typical bog-standard player, who'd have been forgotten had he not dealt so horrendously. But he didn't come across particularly well during his game, either...

I have to admit he was boring. Even attention seeking would've been passible. :lol: And thats a good term 'bog standard'.

But basicasic was enjoying his game and when he dealt, incredible hulk standard.

Oh god no he wasn't on DOND. If he was, then somebody would make a terrible deal and he'll come running down the walk of wealth and whack them with a shovel. :lol:

Ha ha, can you imagine if he'd been one of the wingers, or even a pilgrim, in Richard's game? :D
