This is a thread for you to ask questions about DOND which have always remained a mystery.

A few I have are:

''Why was Janelle so unpopular?''

''What happened with Geordie and The Sun?''

''What happened with that player who just suddenly disappeared after a few shows in 2006?''

"When did the contestant start asking Noel for the question?"
"Who was the Mirror's source for the Laura spoiler?"
"What made the producers think throwing a snowball into a hole made a good DoND gameplay mechanic?"

Is Noels hair real?
When did they change the intro from "22 identical sealed boxes..." to the current version?

As to the player who disappeared - wasn't it a guy who turned out to be very quiet and boring when on the wings and just got removed as it didn't fit their image of hyperactive players.

No, it was a girl, I think her name was CJ

Think that was someone else kicked off for being abusive, whereas the early disappearance was a man, Frank IIRC...

I think Clive and Audrey "disappeared" due to being ill in the early days of the show, and they never returned.

Someone called Yvonne disappeared at the end of Season 4 as well, I think.

It would be nice if people who couldn't pay due to illness could be invited back.

Are you thinking of Frank who died?

There was another oldish guy called Mike who was only on the wings for one game last Autumn then had to go home due to illness too.

The biggest mystery disapperance to me is definitely Yvonne. The illnesses we know about, and we were told about CJ but another contestant who was on at the same time, but why Yvonne disappeared is a total mystery.......

I think they normally are - Joseph (2006) fell ill and returned a few months later. Presumably Clive and Audrey decided they didn't want to return (or maybe they couldn't due to their health).

I do believe Helen in 2008 and Roli in 2010 (or 2009?) bot got replaced and came back too?

Here is a link to the scan of the actual article that was published in the Sun regarding Geordie :D

Remember Jason from September 2009ish? I asked him at the time when he used to lurk about these forums, and what he said to me was, (though dont take it as gospel, because he wasn't too convincing himself) and he said that he was told "she has been on another show with Noel, and that is one of the questions in the form, so I guess she lied and got evicted"

How true it is, I don't know, but if anyone has any ideas, he would be a pretty good source!

Another slight mystery is why they did an Independence Day themed show in 2007 - they hadn't done one in 2006 and they haven't done one since. I can understand the one-off themed shows for Wimbledon and Eurovision (which they did in 2006), but Independence Day in 2007 seemed a bit random, especially when they hadn't recognised the closer-to-home events of Wimbledon and Eurovision in that year...

One could argue that it's a mystery as to why Lucy Harrington did 50 shows when no-one else has done, and seemingly never will do, more than 34...
