New poll (as the other was misleading for some) after taking what everyone had to say into account. Some things have changed:

The grouping will only be for the big fandoms, if it happens i.e. if there are more than 5 secrets of the same fandom in the same day's batch. So if there were 20 Doctor Who secrets, they would be grouped together. If there were 4 Supernatural secrets, they would be kept random.

The rest of the post would be random as usual, so the randomness would never be completely lost.

The secrets will continue to be picked in random order from the week's batch.

People miss out in grouping

Sometimes a secret may be related to a large fandom, but is actually a more universal secret and people miss out that way. For example, what about a Dollhouse secret (in a mass of Dollhouse secrets) that was actually about feminism in fandom?

Also, what if a secret referenced an obscure fandom and a large fandom? Would it be grouped with the larger fandom anyways or be considered a small fandom secret?

It's just my opinion that grouping things together means making a distinction between secrets that isn't always easy to make. I think that a lot of secrets would get unfairly disregarded just based on the fact that they're in a grouping of other secrets.
