I think this would be the best line-up for a cast:
4 F/F
4 M/M
3 M/F
There would be an equal number of men and women
HOWEVER WRP has something against F/F teams (except when they want them to win), so this line-up would be good enough:
3 F/F
4 M/M
4 M/M
They did this line-up in TAR20, which I think had a great cast (which was marred by the boot order
)
This would be my preferable line-up (lets be realistic here):
F/F- Mother/Daughter (haven't seen one since Andie and Jenna)
- Hairdressers (TAR Australia had the first, and they were awesome)
- young athletic female team bonded by a profession or special friendship (something NEW like Party Planners, Roller Derby Players, Exchange Sisters, women in the army, Zookeepers/Vets you name it!)
M/M- Cousins (never seen M/M cousins)
- Grandfather/grandson (enjoyed watching Nicholas and Donald
)
- Gay couple (older, more like Ron and Bill or the Guidos)
- two good friends, any age (like Mark and Bopper or Roommates like Gary and Dave)
OR Single Dads
M/F- Married elderly couple (the likes of Bill and Cathi, Meredith and Gretchen, Anita and Arthur
)
- Twins (agree with chal_uf, and I like sibling teams, and twins are twice the fun)
- Separated/Formerly Dating (we need our dysfunctional couple every season, I loved watching Tara and Wil)
- young nice athletic couple (these teams always get picked and tend to go far, make sure they are LIKEABLE, Meghan and Cheyne etc)
