Actually, I do! Think about it. "Random" wouldn't get them the most entertaining possible game. Kirigiri pointed it out. We're supposed to be putting on a show here, right? Someone's getting something out of it, even if it's just the creepy clones. So in that scenario, who does it make the most sense to choose? Whoever will make the game the most "fun," that's who.
