Paul and Prue survey the biscuit architecture before them.
"For today's Showstopper Challenge, we wanted you to construct a landmark from biscuit," Paul says. "It's a real challenge to find a dough that's sturdy enough to build with but also tastes great."
One by one, the bakers bring their creations up: a somewhat messy but very tasty Tower of London, two Stonehenges, a disaster of a Tower Bridge, an excellent Tower of London, and a Giant's Causeway made of stacked biscuits that are possibly harder than the actual basalt columns.
"I'm so pleased that many of the bakers have chosen to do local landmarks," Prue says. "Here comes one now. Tell us about your creation."
"Well," the baker says, "I went to Durham University, and I always just loved the cathedral there, so I decided to memorialize it in shortbread, and the roof is gingerbread, and I did a rose window with melted hard candies."
Paul considers the construction for a moment. "You know, it looks nice. Very neat, good color on the shortbread and gingerbread. But I was just in Durham recently, and I must say, there's something off about this."
"You know, you're right, Paul," Prue adds, stepping closer and taking a closer look,
"It's almost as if they'd never actually been to Durham Cathedral, but only seen pictures of it."
The baker scoffs, "It's not like I had architectural drawings to work from! But I did live there for several years!"
"Well, isn't that the thing," Prue continues, "You say you went to Durham, but how can we really know?"
The contestant sputters, "I lived in Crossgate! I attended the university!"
Paul picks up a rolling pin—not one of those lighter, tapered French rolling pins. A solid cylinder of hardwood at least 18 inches long.
"You could have just looked that up on Google maps," Paul says.
"I have photos of me all over Durham!"
"It's almost too easy to photoshop things these days," Prue says regretfully.
Paul tests the weight of the rolling pin, adjusting his grip. "Why don't you just tell us the truth."
The contestant looks back and forth at Paul and Prue, confusion written on his face. But then he slowly smiles.
"Well, ain't y'all just a coupla smartypants. I
am from Durham, though. Durham, North Carolina! And even if ya caught me, you ain't never gonna catch my friends. No siree, we're gonna smoke you Brits like we do barbecue back home. So 'scuse me for saying so, Miss Prue, but you ain't got a chance in hell of keepin' hold of that trophy cake stand."
"That's
Dame Prue to you!" Prue snatches the rolling pin out of Paul's hand and delivers a vicious backhand stroke.
GHUG HAS DIED. He was Chad Maynard, a Mafia Goon!
