A few weeks back I asked members of this forum to vote for their favourite contestants of all time, giving 10 points to their favourite, 9 to their second favourite and so on.

Altogether, 118 players were voted for. Here's how the votes added up, with the position, contestant's name and then amount of points in brackets:

So there you have it! Not suprising seeing Pat M in first position, and the likes of Lance, Harry, Morris and Mad Sarah coming up in the top ten. Suprising to see Claudine, Lynne and Laura scoring so low.

Thanks for voting!

Maybe Channel 4 could make a 3 hr Saturday night show,"The 100 best DOND contestants"

How on earth was Alasdair so far up? I can't recall him doing muh apart from having some high value boxes...oh and maybe a few girls fancying him

Melanie makes it up there on my vote alone then

Quite an interesting list - some of the top 10 I expected to be there, others were more surprising!

So if Adam hadn't voted for Steph then she would have had no points at all, and if I hadn't given 10 points to Lucy and 9 to Geordie, they'd have had practically nothing as well!

No real surprise to see relatively recent people like Andrew, Gabrielle or Pyschic Sarah in the list though.

We really need to get more people to vote for things like this so we can get accurate opinions over a larger audience sample rather than the same small group of hardcore forum members (predictably) choosing the same players every time! (and I do include me in this list!)

Could Laura be so low because there is a consensus among quite a few of us that her game was the point of no return with regards to Noel's - and by implication the game's - attitude to money, the point beyond which any claim of neutrality became a sham?

Surely it's just because despite winning the £250k, Laura did absolutely *beep* all on the wings and didn't really do that much in her own game? It's a vote for the best player after all, and if she'd had an average result I doubt many people would even remember her.

It's not just Laura, after all where are Claudine, Jennifer, Kirsty, and Gaz on the list? I even barely noticed Lynne on the wings before she played!

Really only Lance, Bunney and Jeff, and to an extent Julie, have been the really memorable characters on the wings to win huge (60k-plus) sums!

Can I vote for myself please lol
