Essential ingredients for contestants row

I think the contestants on at the moment are some of the best we've ever had (and I'm not just saying that cos most of them are on here!)

I was thinking the other day about what the optimum 'characteristics' are for a good cross section of contestants.

Heres what I came up with:

'Stats guru' one (eg Aaron)

'Funny' one (Russell/Dave)

'Always smiling' one (Gary)

'Long running' one (Lucy)

'Enthusiastic' one (Steve)

'Posh/well spoken' one (Gentleman James/Gabrielle)

'Head in the clouds' one (Sarah)

'Great advice/realistic' one (JT)

'Crowd-rouser' one (Marcus/Jim)

'Dancing' one (Marilyn)

'Mothering' one (Nancy)

With a good mix of characters, the contestants bounce off one another and it works really well.

Any other suggestions?

I disagree. No offence to any of them, they are probably great people, but I don't find many of them that interesting.
I did like the group of contestants that were around at Christmas time. Lee, Simon, Nick, Irene, Jo, Audrey etc.

Hmmm, my 22....that's a tough one.
