"I’m not the only one who got kinda weirded out at the fact that the writers tried to divide 13 in half, right?"

NO. I really though it was so weird. the only two sollutions to make sense of this :

1. no team in the first epiode. the two winners choose their teammates after one elimination.

2. adding one more female to balance the teams memeber and the genders.

the weird thing: Jo never complain that she is in the smaller team unlike TDAS.
