Now if only we had the Background!
The last (and I think the only) time we had a 5E Survivor: Backgrounds, the Soldier won. But! That thread only covered the PHB backgrounds while ignoring the default (Custom). So many more have been added since...
...nope, not gonna do it. Not gonna be tempted out of retirement on DAY ONE.
But think of how much we need the distraction...

I'm not saying it shouldn't be done.
I'm saying someone else should do it!

Honestly, backgrounds would be even worse than races/species was. There's simultaneously too many of them, and a whole mess of them are too similar, and they vary in power and significance. Boros Legionnaire is hands-down better than Soldier. By my count, there are at least 75 backgrounds in 5e, and potentially as many as 119 (though several of those are...essentially straight-up duplicates, like all the Baldur's Gate ones.)

Others have said it already, but yeah...
Lightfoot Halfing, Oath of Ancients Paladin
What would the rest of the party be if matched up to when things were eliminated for the final 4?

One day, I hope to actually play DnD.
well if you're matching them up in order:
Lightfoot Halfling Oath of ancients paladin
Hill Dwarf Thief Rogue
Half-Elf College of Lore Bard
Wood Elf Totem Warrior Barbarian
Half-Orc Battle Master Fighter

Wood Elf Totem Barbarian could be interesting.
I don't think I've ever chosen Eagle Totem before, but I could see that being an option to take advantage of extra speed.

It's real fun. Sprinting by and distracting enemies, drawing focus away and clearing reactions, getting right up front with the most dangerous foe.

I love all of those.
A sensibible and fairly typical adventuring party

I like it! A little surprising, a little classic, all fun.

I guess that depends on the setting, and the overall vibe of the group.
In my homebrew campaign, they would definitely want two full casters (a blaster and a healer).

Nah, it's got a bard! Exactly like a wizard, but better in every way!
