Video Transcript

"So the host has eliminated AND, and maybe a player or two gets eliminated on AND. But now the players are doing pretty good, you know after a couple of eliminations sometimes the team's doing really good with the rules and the story is pretty good. So the host is going to have to ratchet up that challenge a little bit. And this time he might take away something that's bugging the story which is pretty good technique. Like say a couple of people aren't good at making the actual choice. And so they say and then Frank decided, and the host starts to get sick of people saying things like Decided or Thought. We like to hear active choices. Go straight to the active verb and let's skip some of the passive verbs like thinking, and deciding and wondering and things like this. So the host might eliminate that if it's happened more than once. Might say the next person that says Decided is out, or as the challenges get more and more challenging the host might say words that begin with M, words that begin with P, words that begin with R, you might have a half a dozen land mines to avoid by the end of this game while still trying to tell the story and avoiding those things."
