Season overview

Task: Write a JSON object for "Aussie Gold Hunters" Season 3.
Keys: overview (160-220 words), primer (array of exactly 4 concise bullet points).
Constraints: Use ONLY provided synopsis and sources. No invented facts. No markdown/asterisks/headings/bullet points in the prose (though primer is an array). Output valid JSON only.
Source Analysis:
Source [1]: "Aussie Gold Hunters returns for its biggest season yet, following five crews of gold-hungry prospectors who are taking the gamble of a lifetime as they battle to strike it big in one of the harshest environments on the planet; the wild west of outback Australia." Also mentions "Three hard-core crews of gold prospectors take the gamble of a lifetime and battle to strike".
Source [2]: Date 2016.08.01.
Source [3]: Refers to "Aussie Gold (TV Series 2008-2009)" which is a comedy show. This is a different show. I must ignore this for the "Aussie Gold Hunters" content.
Overview Requirements: 160-220 words.
Source Content: "Aussie Gold Hunters returns for its biggest season yet, following five crews of gold-hungry prospectors who are taking the gamble of a lifetime as they battle to strike it big in one of the harshest environments on the planet; the wild west of outback Australia."
Problem: The provided text is very short. It is impossible to write a 160-220 word summary using only the provided text without repeating myself or inventing facts, which is strictly forbidden.
Constraint Check: "You write ONLY verifiable facts that are explicitly supported by the provided SYNOPSIS and SOURCES. ... If a detail is not in the provided material, you omit it rather than guess."
Conflict: The prompt asks for a 160-220 word summary, but the source material only provides about 40 words of actual content.
Resolution: I must follow the "ONLY verifiable facts" and "omit rather than guess" rule. However, if I write a 40-word summary, I fail the length constraint. If I write a 160-word summary, I must invent facts.
Wait: Let me re-read the source.
Source [1] says: "Aussie Gold Hunters returns for its biggest season yet, following five crews of gold-hungry prospectors who are taking the gamble of a lifetime as they battle to strike it
