Or, because they are two independent games, the host can flip different goats for different people. You would have to add an element of "no screen peaking" where the contestants cant see which door opened for the other person.
So you have Player A who chose door 1. The host flips the goat in door 3.
You have Player B who chooses door 2. For them the host flips open the goat in door 1.
Player A should switch, and wins the car. Player B should switch, but had the car and loses it. The right move in both their cases was to switch.
Really, its no different than playing two separate games. Unless, like you said, you somehow change the rules and limit someones choices, in which case Im not sure why its a part of the conversation, other than being introduced through confusion.

That prevents him from being sure to get a goat, in the same way that opening a door at random in the single-player case prevents him from being sure to get a goat.
