Scenario 1

Nobody never knows what they want to do and nobody wants to take the lead so you end up with the "What do you want to do?" " I don't know, what do you want to do?" convo.

Shortly after that everybody gets agitated because time gets wasted and the group ends up doing something nobody really wants to do because nobody else had a better idea and nobody wanted to say no. Trip goes downhill from here.
Scenario 2

The trip planning is taken over by the master planner who tries to plan 100 activities into each day. Given that the group is a large size in one house it ends up moving at a snails pace and the master planner ends up getting agitated and things go downhill from there.

I've since moved to the "This is what I'm doing today, whose coming with me"" approach unless there is a pre planned event I want to take part of.
