What's the most balanced 7-player setup?

I'm going to produce a mafia game show, but I prefer taking care of 7 players instead of 9. Preferably something that's fun to play with the highest chance of drama because that's how you reel in the audience ($$$$$). However, if it isn't possible with 7 players, I guess I can accept 9-player suggestions.

The format is a reality competition show like Survivor. The main focus of the drama is the discussion, obviously. There will be cutaway interviews where people talk about the game (as in reality show). People can talk in secret! I don't know what the Genius is, sadly. What's that?

But I think it will lack the "killing" factor, which is a large part of the treatment.

Is fakeclaiming as a cop on D1 together with the cop a good counter to the game breaking strategy? (Original Setup)

Hi. I'm doing a 7-player setup of 3 townies. 2 mafia goons. 1 doctor. 1 macho cop. Compulsory voting in case some newbie cunt pushes for a no-lynch resulting to bad television. Compulsory kill in case some newbie cunt pushes for a no-kill resulting to bad television. Bad setup?

For the "season finale", I'm gonna introduce the newbie setup but with town backup instead. The players will be old players from other episodes so the curveball will be now they have to guess the setup. Bad setup?

Editing basically. We will reveal stuff slowly. For example, Day 3 LYLO an investigator claims and no one counterclaims. I will reveal the players that he cleared leaving TWO potential scum. That will be the cliffhanger.
