_get = getRandomPlayer 
function  getRandomPlayer(expect) 
      if isElement(expect) and getElementType(expect) == "player" then 
           local p = _get() 
           if p == expect and getPlayerCount() == 1 then 
               return false 
           else 
               return p 
          end 
      end 
end

Try (Not tested),

getRandomPlayer_ = getRandomPlayer 
  
function getRandomPlayer(arg) 
    if getPlayerCount() == 1 then 
        return false 
    else 
        local p = getRandomPlayer_() 
        while p == arg do 
            p = getRandomPlayer_() 
        end 
        return p 
    end 
end
