Great British Baking Show ™ - Judging
Ilyin: "I'm making orange and pistachio, Viennese swirls."
Illyin's family made short work of a Viennese Swirl filled with pistachio cream and a fresh orange, gelatinous texture.
Illyin: "So I'm going to keep the orange sharp so that it kind of goes "hello"!
"They're a little bit flat. You've lost a little bit of definition in them as well."
"It's very odd because there's so much pistachio there, but I'm not really tasting it."
"The sharpness coming from the orange is delicious. Difficult to identify the pistachio, really interesting."
"You know, it's nice. It tastes good. Although it feels more traditional biscuit than Viennese."

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.
