Gameplay
- Donna DiBiase — no relation to Ted, the professional wrestler — was the opening contestant for DoND's third season.
Her first round removed two of the lower large numbers, and Howie took the call from not the banker (who "couldn't make it"), but Donald Trump. Trump delivered the offers from his box, and he was in full view of the audience. He presented himself as nice, but tough on contestants who don't listen to him and get out when he suggests. He also proved to be tough with money, as after the second round, he dropped his offer even though only one large amount dropped out of the game.
After turning down $96,000, Trump's prediction of "a tragic mistake" came true: Katie Cleary's case 11 revealed the grand prize, and after the usual low-skewed offer following such a hit, the last large number went kaboom. Out of $25, $100, $400, $1,000, and $5,000, Donna took it down to the extreme two, and ended up leaving with the $25.
Donald Trump showed his philanthropy by awarding Donna's son a $25,000 check after the game.
