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)
Bet on Lani or Ninja. Their premade seems to have it all wrapped up with their selective plussing/back page negging and those will be top 2. You'll get your money in 7 days. Nice doing business :)
People like to be cowards and join with premades and only plus each other, back page neg, and then give attitude and claim that they can't plus every comment. But I guess they have the time to look in the back pages for their friends' comments and plus them to +5 while everyone else is on +1 or +0 (some +0s were on stuff I even plussed). So don't bet on me because I don't want to take part in a game where people are so insecure about their ability to actually strategize to win and have to do it the cheap way.
If you want your bets to cash in, I recommend betting on Lani or Ninja :)
I'm going to be co-hosting a group game along with chhsfreshman2009. It's called Showdown and this season will be teams.
