I'm a little confused about the questions on where this is being filmed. I didn't see the first couple of minutes. In seasons past they've very clearly shown the UK setting and been very open about that. Did that not happen this season? I don't watch the British version, but always assumed it was the exact same studio/setting.

Right at beginning, one of the Spices (I forget which) said something to the effect of "Here we are in England" <big overhead cam shot>

I was bothered by two things in this episode (or these episodes):

1) New Judge was giving a lot of nothing-comments. Usually the judging on this show, and I'm including all the various judges in both British and American permutations, are quite specific. It's one of the things I enjoy about the show compared to other cooking shows. She literally said "party in my mouth" and I wanted to stop her like a training puppy and say NO. Bad judge! Use your words! That was the worst one, but a lot of her other remarks, at least what the editing left in, were totally useless for giving me a sense of the bake beyond the fact that she liked it or didn't.

2) I am very perturbed Paul also committed pointless TV cliche commentary. "I don't like this..... I LOVE IT". If I want to hear that sort of nonsense I'll watch fucking MasterChef thank you very much. Try again, Paul. Don't do that. You're better than that.

No.

I just googled rugelach pronunciation and listened to three you tube links.  Guess what?    All three were different.

The correct pronunciation has a guttural ch (like you’re clearing your throat) at the end.... no matter what you heard on YouTube 😜

This one is right

If I'm remembering correctly, it was one of the challenges.

It was the signature bake in the third episode.

Isn't this topic just for the first two episodes?
