Am I the only one who HATES the idea of having Juries in Rookies? Let me count reasons why I hate the idea of the Jury system.
1 - Pre-Mades
Pre-mades were already a big annoyance in Rookies, namely if you see a Pre-Made comprised of 5 people, unless you can snatch any sort of power you will be screwed out of a game.
NOW even if you make it all the way to the end against the Pre-Made, whos voting for the winner in the end? YUP! The Pre-Made, who will they be voting to win? Heres a clue, it WONT be the person who beat them, instead all votes are directly to the others (and to make matters worse, if there is a pre-made member left standing, to THEM)
Making it when Juries are in, see a 5+ alliance, go and wave that white flag.
2 - Butthurt
Backstabbing is a big part in reality television, something which is good to see and sometimes can make the viewer actually ROOT for the backstabber for playing the game right.
Now lets take Big Brother USA for instance, the Jury is in the jury house for a long period of time to make their decision, usually its one based on several factors INCLUDING 'Has this person worked for the win'
Rookies Juries wont have that luxury, instead likely it'll be a snap decision. Okay, that wont always be a bad thing HOWEVER where it will be a bad thing is when it comes to the more strategic players.
Should a backstab occour, the player who has backstabbed, REGARDLESS of the reason is likely not to recieve a vote instantly from that person.
What will likely happen is the outed person will look at whos left and instantly go 'That person had nothing to do with my ouster, ill give my vote to them' which is an insane reasoning really, what has said person done to get a vote? nothing. That brings me to...
3 - Bye bye Strategic Play
Should anyone reach the finals who has done nothing, VOILA, by cause of internet-butthurt, they will instantly recieve a lions share of the votes and will instantly be a likely win winging their way which means more inactive games, more pre-mades and less strategy/gameplay/intelligence all round.
---------------
The ONLY way this will likely be circumvented is if somebody gets people to turn on each other and not be directly involved. Thats good gameplay but its unlikely that you'll be able to do that if everyone belives the best course of action is silence.
Anyway :) For those who are awaiting my 'ILM4' article, it'll come tomorrow (Just got the episode, gonna watch it soon)
