Premades of 4+ people are very unfair when you join a rookies because if you don't get first HoH you're pretty much screwed the entire game because they'll have the majority. Big Brother is all about strategy. Joining with a premade takes out all or part the strategy aspect and allows you to fall back into the security of having your friends in the game. How do you justify a win without doing anything strategic the entire game other than spamming posts or negging or selective plussing?
Here's my idea on how to eliminate premades:
1. There should be more than one game filling at once to lessen the chance of friends ending up in the same game.
2. The games page should be gotten rid of so that people don't know how many spots are left in a game and so that they can't see if their friend is in the game.
3. Games should not appear on a person's game history until it has started nor should anyone be able to chat in a game until it fills. It gives an unfair advantage because then the early birds get extra points by having been in there for hours already.
With actual Big Brother, the housemates are not permitted to talk until they ENTER the house. The housemates do not know each other either (other than a couple seasons where that was a twist but they never had the majority like premades have)
Thoughts?

Um i tried joining alone with a premade in the game... but manipulated my way to the finals :S
Yeah, I joined alone, and managed to get a way to get 1st :) It's fun and doable, but I agree, premades can kinda get annoying....but it's fun to play with friends though.
I would scream if the games page was gotten rid of.. especially because then I can't tell if the survivor/rookies I'm joining will fill in time for a daychange I can work with.. but that's really the only problem I can see.
I really like this idea... I feel like most people, myself included, join with premades because they feel like they have to because others will. I think this sounds great.
I have played 3 straight Rookies that had premades in them because I was tired of waiting 4+ days to try to find a game without a premade.
Now at the same time, I have destroyed 3 straight premades even after they got the first HOH but it still isn't right. Premades seriously are the cancer of Rookies. I am with you 100% and I hope Randomize seriously takes it into consideration because I ONLY want to play Rookies and it's ruined by premades.
its all up on you ;)
