Do you have a least favourite game? Perhaps one where you couldn't get into it, found it boring, or annoying, or didn't like the player? Perhaps a decision to deal, or not to deal, really irritated you? Or Noel's Wakey attitude was taken slightly to far?

I didn't like £5,000 Bob's game; I found him a little irritating and it was a poor game, with a pretty low win.

that's a difficult one actually. Do I count trainwrecks, irritating players, games with stupid bankers offers? tough call.
i had mixed feelings on Bob ubut there might well have been quite a few worse than that.

Despite there being some great contestants, I don't like the March/April 2007 games, because of irritating Noel, AMO proveouts, blue chanting, red chanting, 3 chanting, lack of characters in April, people thinking that "playing the game" means going to the end regardless, etc...

There's Brunhilde's game as well, that was just depressing.

thanks Lewis146. i think i would count £50 Ian's game as one of the worst. Not that I faulted his no dealing but because of the atmosphere.

some of the games in that era would have been absolutely fine if it wasn't for Noel and the amo proveouts though.

i'm sure there are plenty of others that I had a dislike too.

Oh where do I start ........

Well I haven't got all day so its between Blubbing Donna, Cowardly Stephen, Confetti Kelsie or Bullsh*t Phil.

The winner is ......... drum roll ....... Bullsh*t Phil.

Who spent 3 weeks on the wings espousing the virtues of Wakeyism, dishing out advise to everyone to no-deal and then did the lamest 3rd offer deal imaginable. It makes my blood boil just thinking about it.

Oh, there's something else that really annoyed me about March/April 2007 - the whole positivity thing (except for people who dealt :roll: ). People clapping every amount that wasn't the highest going pissed me off...

The offers going up almost every time the highest amount wasn't revealed in a round annoyed me as well. Around then you could lose all your safety nets and still get a higher offer than last time..

The clapping after big numbers and positivity annoyed me but the proveouts were ridiculous. I think they were trying too hard to manufacture wakeyism and disregard for the offers rather than just putting the offers slightly lower in the first place. As for other games in the era I wasn't too keen on kelsie's and nathan's was just ugly.

Oh, March Steven annoyed me as well. Going on and on and on about how he'd always continue with 3 of the power of five, then dealing for a pretty average 3rd offer with the top FOUR still in play.

hmmm it's more the fact he built himself up to it. Going on about what he would do then going against it. It's not so much th deal. i had mixed feelings about Phil's personality too. It was more what they said on the wings.

On the subject of third offer deals, 7.5K Sarah was the one I really didn't like. I could see logic to the majority of the other ones because they were inflated.

I'm tempted to say Jeannie's game, but the show was saved by her character and her OPW - the latter causing the most telling Noel behaviour ever as he didn't seem to even bother hiding his disappointment that it was an OPW, describing it as 'most extraordinary' in an utterly demeaning way.

I think beyond the whole Wakey Madness early 2007 era, the worst games are the ones that are utterly painful, especially where the players were almost powerless. £1 Mike, 1p Trevor, 1p Sharron and of course Philomena all count here; of higher wins that were still painful, the fallout (aided and abetted very strongly by the host) of Donna's game and to a lesser extent Ingerlise's both count.

I'm with Alexandercbrown here, there were an awful lot of dealable third offers in the first four months of 2007, and that included every single one that did get Dealt. I got more annoyed with some of the ones that weren't... certainly one of the ones that wasn't...

Edit: SWAPPY BARBARA!! That hurt big time. I swear it put me off a society that met for the first time on that very Sunday evening...

Also, Philip was odd. Wakey on the wings, Greeny in the chair. And, whaddya know, Wakey in the chair would have been the biggest crash to a blue win in the history of the game... something that funnily enough never got mentioned!

Blubby Donna for sure but the proveout was the most entertaining amusing thing I have seen on deal.

Also Stevens March, Phil Noels mate, Anne Marie these were horrendus and very custardy especially Stevens no matter how you look at it.

I don't have a least favourite game. Ones with blue wins are often upsetting, especially ones where just every single red goes early on and they're never close to winning anything. There was also that really nasty time in April where it seemed every game consisted of a third offer deal, only for the Banker to then SUDDENLY start offering offers he'd never do in real life (200% of the average and stuff) and, as he said a few times, make it absolutely impossible for them to get a player victory. With the blue chants and Noel shouting at them it just stopped becoming a fun show and became the "Let's see how upset we can make someone today" show.

April 2007 is just not a good month for me DONDwise, I'm sad to say. It had its moments, but there's just too many games that put me off, whether they be the ones I mentioned earlier, or those at the start of the month which were non-stop player losses (the all-time worst possible thing, taking the lowest offer throughout the entire game and then having more in your box), the constant blue chants starting from round 1 onwards, every thread in Today's Show becoming an argument (no change there then) and one of the best players of the month given a really short run, which strikes me as horribly unfair. I might even go as far to say it's my least favourite month in the show's history; there were good moments, but too many blue wins and bad games!

But I can't watch a game and think "That's my least favourite game ever", because there's always something in any game that makes it entertaining, whether it be a fun player, wing banter or something else!

Irene's 52p game and that £1k offer with £75k in the last 5 really did make my blood boil. It, to me, was worse that 1p Trevor's game becuase at least his £9,900 wasn't completely undealable.

Claire from August was a similarly flat game, no offers even worth the slightest consideration and no comedy element like some trainwrecks, just a total deflation.

As did PJ's game. I keep imagine how I would have reacted if they'd done that to me. I do sometimes have a temper when I get rather stressed and I think I'd have abslutely exploded!!

PJ was really calm about it and didn't give the banker the reaction which the bvanker wanted.

Jo, Lynn, Kirsty and Jenine and plenty others did though!

Has to be another vote for Donna, just because that reaction after winning £21,000 was inexcusable, when you consider 100 people have won peanuts on the show.

Agree some of the blue wins with joke offers throughout have to come close, and also the unmemorable ones with a player who doesn't really shine in the chair combined with a flat game (would be unfair to come up with an example, but I've probably forgotten most of them already!)

All time worst single moment still has to be Marilyn revealing the £250,000 in Trevor's game though.

As far a collection of games, I'll go for Double Deal week between Sexy Joan's 10p win and Teresa's £10 win. Out of those 10 games, I only enjoyed Louise's and Jo's games, and even they had a staing in the tail with Louise's inflated proveout offer and Jo selling her box just 4 grand short.

Everyone else I liked won a blue, Daz who I couldn't stand got an OPW, Richard did the worst deal ever on a £75k box, from a great board early om, and Trevor had a really ungrateful wife by the sound of it 9even though I didn't see his game).

Jean (1) to Tanweer is also a pretty dire run of games where the biggest two wins of the period got the most slated for the deals they made (Kelsie and Steven!), two player wins ruined by hypo swaps for the 35k, 5 blue wins and and 5 OPLs! Joe's game was the oasis in the middle of the desert, and then I loved the rest of April from Charlie's game onwards! :D

Worst player - 50k Jane and her daughter, big win but very bad attitudes

Most painful game - 1p Trevor....just when everyone thought he was going to be the 1st QM, up pops the 250k and whammo the game is killed stone dead and the 1p just was the coup de grace

And a special mention to Donna R, architect of her own downfall I would say. If her fella had stayed in the audience she would have had a lot more money

I didn't like many games around Sarah B's time in the wings.
