Old School: 1 line the host's read ×1

  1. craft (shared structural flaw): Back to School ⇒ Old School (the host's read). The late competition-element plot is a flaw borrowed from Back to School and also seen in Stripes' war.
    “when it starts to become too much like back to school, you know, where there's like a competition element to it.”
