TMDB Season Synopsis: Season 11 features chef versus chef and house versus house. Five favorite teams go head-to-head with five new teams.
Source 1: Australian competitive cooking game show on Seven Network since 2010.
Source 2: Australian reality television cooking competition. Teams of two compete for a cash prize. Mentions Manu Feildel, Pete Evans, Colin Fassnidge, Septimus Caton.
Source 3: Hosted and judged by Manu Feildel and Colin Fassnidge. Feildel has appeared in every season.
Source 4: Produced by creators of My Restaurant Rules. Based on MasterChef Australia.
Source 5: Teams of two from across Australia. Prepare three-course meals and score one another. Celebrity chefs Pete Evans and Manu Feildel judge. Low-scoring teams are eliminated.
Constraint Check: The synopsis for Season 11 is very short: "For the first time in program history, it's chef versus chef and house versus house as five favourite teams go head-to-head with five new teams in the fiercest competition yet."
Challenge: I need to write 160-220 words. However, the provided text for Season 11 is only about 35 words.
Instruction Conflict: "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."
Problem: If I strictly follow "omit if not in material," I cannot reach the 160-220 word count because the material is insufficient.
