I've been thinking about this for a while, and figured which teams would stand the test of time. Which team was the most iconic for their color?
Red: Franke and (Queen) Erika (Tehachapi), by far. They were the only Red Team to survive a trip to the Temple of Fate, and were some of the biggest personalities of their season. Erika winning "Drop Out" in particular stands out as a classic Endurance moment, and someone could make the argument of them being the true underdogs of their season. Christian and Ashley, along with Hannah and Jonathan, can be considered, though the former was arguably carried through their season.
Orange: Demian and Nicole (Hawaii), the embodiment of the dysfunctional team. Despite Demian using his number 1 ball to pick Nicole, they had a number of ups and downs as they made it to the final two. They won three missions, but were mostly lucky in them; and had a stable alliance, though they considered breaking off with Yellow (which they did in the final four). On the other hand, Tyler and Michelle were the opposite--they mostly didn't get along, but by the end, Tyler wanted to win for Michelle's sake.
Yellow: Sabrina was a strategic mastermind, but it has to be Monroe and Bryanah (Hawaii). The embodiment of the underdog story, and possibly the most iconic team from all six seasons.
Green: You can't really choose just one iconic Green Team; it's probably easier because 4/6 teams made it to the final three! You have the OG underdogs in Lana and Trevor, three teams in contention for "the best team to never win" (Mike and Keetin, Isaac and Jeszie, Will and Leslie)...and a team which actually won (Alex and Cealey). This one needs some more thought from me.
Blue: Aaron and Jonna, for being the strongest team of them all. They've won the most missions, were the first team to overcome the Samadhi, and one of only two teams to never go up to the Temple of Fate. (Special mention to Connor and Taylor, with the former getting her partner switched and still winning next day's mission, facing off alone against the main alliance, and being the only team to survive three trips to Temple)
Purple: Like with Yellow, it's between the underdogs (Jonathan and Daniela) vs the masterminds (Dakota and Kelsey), despite having cool characters from all six seasons. Only here, it's a bit harder to determine which team is iconic between the two, as Jonathan and Daniela both learned from each other and grew stronger as a team, whereas Dakota had the game on lock throughout e5. Sadly, neither of them were rewarded with that final victory...
Gray: Chris and Lindi, for the virtue of surviving the first elimination.
Brown: Max and Jenna, the ultimate comeback kids.
