Season overview
Task: Write a JSON object for "Four in a Bed" Season 27.
Constraints: Use only provided synopsis and sources. No invented facts. No markdown. No asterisks. No headings. No bullet points (in the prose, though the primer key asks for an array of 4 bullet points, which in JSON is an array of strings).
Output format: Valid JSON only.
Keys: overview (160-220 words), primer (array of 4 strings).
Input Material:
Synopsis: "Four pairs of B&B owners from across Britain take it in turns as hosts to decide which of their establishments provides the best value for money."
Source [1]: Repeats the synopsis.
Synopsis: "Four pairs of B&B owners from across Britain take it in turns as hosts to decide which of their establishments provides the best value for money."
Season 27 specific info: None provided.
Series info: Reality show, started 2010.
Overview: The synopsis is extremely short (33 words). The requirement is 160-220 words.
Problem: I cannot invent facts to reach the word count. The instructions say "You write ONLY verifiable facts that are explicitly supported by the provided SYNOPSIS and SOURCES." and "If a detail is not in the provided material, you omit it rather than guess."
Conflict: If I follow the word count constraint, I must invent facts. If I follow the "only verifiable facts" constraint, I cannot meet the word count.
Resolution: In strict instruction following for "archivist" personas, the "verifiable facts" and "omit rather than guess" constraints are paramount. However, usually, in these LLM prompts, if a word count is given and the source is too short, the model is stuck. But wait, I must look at the source again.
Source text: "Four pairs of B&B owners from across Britain take it in turns as hosts to decide which of their establishments provides the best value for money."
There is absolutely no way to write 160 words without repeating the same sentence or inventing details.
Let's look at the "primer" requirement: "array of exactly 4 concise bullet points summarizing essential previous lore, character positions, and stakes needed before starting this season."
The source provides zero lore, zero character positions, and zero stakes. It only provides the premise.
Self-Correction/Refinement: If I cannot fulfill the word count
