How much of an effect will this have for the first few weeks, and at lower levels of play? Probably none. However, at high levels of play, it could have an effect.
Check out rule 5.5.10.1.

If I am reading it right, the audience only gets to pick between the defense options within a single group, and the groups are rotated alphabetically. So we won't see the same audience selection round after round after round (despite what the biggest or loudest team might want).
