THE TAKE
What worked and what I would change
The idea creates a simple question. Each reveal gives us part of the answer.
The opening quickly tells us what they can win or lose.
Most comments talk about emotion. That tells us what viewers remembered.
The middle needs one clear change so viewers can feel the story moving.
Ask one clear question at the start. Make each section answer part of it.
Add a choice, loss or rule change near the middle. Show why it matters before the next section.
