Great British Baking Show ™ - Judging
Christiaan: "I am making a rose water meringue. You don't want to add too much because very easily it gets like, quite salty and a risky flavor. But I've done it at home, so why would it not work here?"
Voice-over: "To contrast the highly floral rose water, Cristiaan is opting for walnut praline, cherry jam and chantilly cream in his elaborate meringues."
Prue Leith: "They look absolutely exquisite and I'm so impressed with the way you managed to get that piping."
Paul Hollywood: "It is neat."
Christiaan: "So I've got Swiss meringue nests with a little bit of rose water. Then with walnut praline, a cherry jam and a rose water and sour cream."
Paul Hollywood: "The rose and the cherry. I don't really like the flavors together. Maybe because the rose is a bit strong."
Prue Leith: "Rose is always going to dominate unless you're really very delicate with it."

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.
