Loop and merge pairing identical images

Hello,
I am currently constructing a survey that has a loop & merge block.
In field one, I have images of people I have manipulated to be overweight. In field two, I have images of people I have manipulated to be slimmer. The point of this survey is to randomise these faces so the respondent sees a chubby and a skinny person, views their CV (in field 3) and makes a choice about who they would hire for a job role.
However, the loop and merge for fields 1 and 2 sometimes show the same person e.g. respondent sees the exact same face both chubby and skinny rather than 2 different people. The loop is set to randomise, but on a run through I just had 7 separate questions with the same person in each image, defeating the whole point of the survey.
Can anyone offer me any help in fixing this issue?

In a loop & merge the rows are what get randomized. The fields in the rows will always be shown as a set. So, if field1 and field2 in a row are the same people, they will always be shown together.
You could modify your loop & merge fields so field1 and field2 in the same row are always different people.
