Your easy solution to the gender imbalance is replacing one of the most significant teams of the show with one that would be yet another female duo to get an early boot? The only way to develop Katie and Sadie even a bit is to separate them, which is impossible in the RR format. Don't get me wrong, I agree that the writers could afford to have 18 boys and 18 girls as the cast, but it's not that big a deal, since, as I already mentioned, the show went from having more males in the beginning to having more females in the end. I mean every team that got eliminated between Episode 11 and Episode 18 was a male-male duo, bringing the number of those down from six to just one.

Then again, you and the others are entitled to see and interpret the imbalance any way you want. I just think that while RR had its fair share of issues, this is not one of them.
