Why am I being forced to play with a crew Olivia?

Hi. With this Crew feature, you're not really playing with anyone. It's a way to give and receive a life, a lollipop, and extra time in s game. While there is a bonus for reaching levels, as a team, it's not required. You choose what you want to do. Give lives, for example, and are matched with 2 players, who give the other rewards. You press the button to give, and the other 2 players do the same. You can ignore it, if you want, but there's nothing wrong with giving and receiving the help. I hope this helps.
