Great British Baking Show ™ - Judging
Voice-Over: "Steph's festive buns will be filled with cranberries and sultanas. And when it comes to her flavors, she's hoping to live up to her triple star baker status."
Prue Leith: "Well, I do think they look very shiny and very attractive. And my mouth's watery. They smell amazing, don't they?"
Paul Hollywood: "Let's have a look. The fruit distribution is in there, actually. We didn't see it down the middle, but you can actually see it properly in two halves. When you cut it down the middle, the texture's perfect. The texture is lovely. Yeah. And it's sticky, you know, you can feel it on the fingers. It's not too much spice and it's not too little. Well done."

About The Great British Baking Show ™
The Great British Bake Off ™ (often abbreviated to Bake Off or GBBO and referred to in the United States as The Great British Baking Show ™) is a streamed British baking competition, in which a group of amateur bakers compete against each other in a series of rounds, hoping to impress the judges with their baking skills. One contestant in The Great British Baking Show ™ is eliminated in each round, and the winner is selected from the three contestants who reach the final.
The Great British Baking Show ™ operates on a weekly elimination process to find the best all-around baker from the contestants, who are all amateurs. In each episode, the bakers are given three challenges based on that week's theme: a signature bake, a technical challenge, and a show-stopper. The bakes are assessed by the judges who then choose a "Star Baker" for the week, and a contestant is also eliminated. In the final round, three bakers are left and a winner is chosen from the three.
