Batter up! (CONTESTANTS SCREAM)
..it was beautiful carnage...
It pancaked and went everywhere. It was huge!
..as our teams competed
to make the most awesome slow-mo Lego destruction.
Oh! (LAUGHTER)
That's so cool!
Matt and Lyn's sun came crashing down
before I had a chance to destroy it...
I just lost a bet with Brickman. And also...tragedy.
..but Gayan and Dinushi's space worm...
Whoo-hoo-hoo! ..was the hero of the hour...
He didn't even lose a tooth! (LAUGHTER)
..winning them immunity.
(APPLAUSE) Oh!
It's a win for space worm!
Tonight...
There's gonna be a bunch of different items.
You've gotta build the other half out of Lego.
That's really cool.
..in the first elimination - half an object -
a whole lot of creativity.
No-one's ever built like this before.
The only limit is your imagination.
Holy crud-nuggets!
Some teams will deliver their most amazing builds yet.
This is a unique opportunity.
I think you've surpassed expectation.
I'm absolutely stoked with it.
Well done.
But for one team, it will be their last build on Lego Masters.
Lift the door.
Wait, wait, wait. Wait.
Ooh.
Oh-ho! Oh!
(ALL EXCLAIM)
It's a bike!
What are we doing with the bike?
Welcome.
Why is there a bike?
We will get to the bike-shaped elephant in the room shortly.
But we all knew this day was coming.
It's been a lot of fun and games
but today is the first elimination.
Sadly, for one team,
this will be your last day building on Lego Masters.
But...
..it will not be Gayan and Dinushi,
because you guys are safe.
We won the immunity last challenge,
so we are not gonna be eliminated this time around.
Alright. Those guys are gone.
I suppose now is the time to say,
if anybody here has a golden brick...
Anyone at all. ..and they would like to play it -
golden brick, of course, keeping you safe from the elimination -
but can only be played now.
If anyone has one.
Well, we do have the golden brick...
What?!
No, no. I gave it to you episode one.
(LAUGHTER)
Matt and Lyn, they have that golden brick,
which means immunity for them
and they've just gotta make that decision
of if they're gonna play it.
Despite Mama's judgement, we aren't gonna play it.
Boom. Ooh!
I do think that we can stand up against these guys.
Last build, we were on the bottom.
I think that's fair to say
but our main reason that we chose not to play the golden brick
is because the longer it takes for us to play it,
the better it increases our odds.
If we play it later, that gives us even better chances to win.
Alright. Now...
..nobody in the room is safe from elimination.
Reality starts sinking in that somebody's gonna go home.
It's a little bit unreal still,
'cause when I'd start playing with Lego as a child,
I would not guess that I would be on a show
competing to become Australia's first Lego Master.
We need to do something that is gonna keep us here.
You probably want to know what you're building.
Yes, please. How you get there.
Well, today it's a small bike race.
Lyn, you'll be riding for your team.
No. No, it's not. (LAUGHTER)
It is not a small bike race
but it does have something to do
with this very conspicuously placed children's bike
in the centre of the room.
The bike's not the whole story,
which is a clever segue into what's about to happen.
Oh, no.
Because the bike is actually twice the story.
(ANGLE GRINDER WHIRRS) Oh, my gosh!
Wearing a synthetic dress
with Hamish in front of me and sparks flying everywhere!
This dress is extremely flammable.
Yep. Almost done.
(LAUGHTER)
Uh, I haven't done much angle-grinding before
but I found a cool website called, 'Grindr',
which is, like, a community of like-minded guys
to help you, you know, figure out how to use power tools.
Oh, here we go!
Whoa! Guys!
(GRUNTS) Oh!
Behold!
This is your challenge.
What?
Um, just in case it's not clear,
today's build is very logically called, 'Cut In Half'.
There's gonna be a bunch of different items, this bike being one of them.
You've gotta build the other half out of Lego.
You don't just have to re-build what was there -
whatever the other half of your object is
can be anything.
The only limit is your imagination.
OK. That's cool.
That's really cool.
It's like anything with Lego - our options are endless.
It comes down to our imagination
and how we wanted that to morph and work with the bike.
Brickman, what are you looking for?
Guys, this has gotta tell a story on its own, OK?
No explanations - we've gotta look at it and go,
"Yeah, that makes sense."
Second thing, of course, is it's gotta look beautiful.
And of course, our old friend,
technical skills.
This is a unique opportunity.
No-one's ever built like this before.
You need to capitalise on it,
show your technical skills
and make something amazing.
Brickman has been very clear.
He wants to see a nice, clear story, something that is artistic.
That's easy for me. That's my bread and butter.
Guys, you have got 10 hours
to complete today's challenge.
The other thing I should tell you is,
it's a bit of a first come, first served
to the objects.
Oh. They're behind me.
CADE: I'm peering behind Hamish
and there's some pretty crazy objects behind there.
I think this one's gonna be a little bit tough.
KALE: I'm very excited, straight out of the gate.
Pretty sure I already know exactly what the golden idea is.
That bike. That's the golden ticket.
I am instantly drawn to the mannequin.
There's just something about it that screams creativity.
If we grab the wrong thing, that could mean going home.
I am really excited to see what you guys come up with,
with the various objects.
And you can go and get 'em, right now.
Let's go! Go, go, go!
Go nuts!
What do you want?
Oh! Dude! Yes!
I'm really hoping that grabbing the typewriter was a good idea.
I mean, it just was in front of me
and now it's in my hands.
We've just gotta roll with it.
Kaitlyn, do you want this?
What do you... No! What do you want?
Kaitlyn grabs the half of the TV. Yep.
You want that one, G?
We're last in the queue and by the time we got there,
all that's left is a projecting camera. Yeah.
Let's go. Let's take this. Yeah. Shite.
Let's make a plan. Want to make a plan?
We're just thinking, like, "What are we gonna do with this?"
It wasn't something we wanted straight away.
And then, if you look at the other subjects,
they were all curvy and had shape.
We just had... A box. ..a box.
Projector. The projector.
G, are you happy with the projector? No.
No. OK. Well, we're off to a flyer!
So, for this build, we're thinking
we might have to try something different
to really try and get ahead.
I want to have a sculpture of a man...
with some bubbles coming off
and all he's thinking about is Lego.
We got the projector
and our idea is to have it projecting the sculpture of a man.
Do you think it's gonna be enough?
Obviously pushing for art and creativity.
I'm not an artist. I'm a practical builder and...
I'm not sure we're gonna pull off David's idea.
2-by-1. 1-by-2s
Fantastic. That's better.
We have picked one of the biggest, most complicated shapes
there is to offer today.
We're actually gonna build the other side of this man.
We have been criticised in the past for our really boxy shapes.
This mannequin is the opposite of boxy shapes.
I think, who not better to replicate in their imagination, but,
uh, Jimmy here.
He's going to be holding a piece of Lego out on an extended arm.
Uh, the Lego is his inspiration
and his mind is actually gonna be open and that's...
Coming out of his mind is gonna be his imagination.
We are going to really push the boundaries
to show the skills that we really do have.
So, we are gonna build a really strong skeleton.
I'm sick and tired of being told that we are not technically sound.
This ends today. (LAUGHS)
Or we go home.
Gimme some glitter glue and some markers!
I've got a game plan, coming into the building today.
We're gonna take a risk.
What is a bike to a six-year-old boy?
Speed?
With me, it was freedom.
So I'm seeing a bridled horse -
'cause I grew up in country Victoria...
Yeah, yeah, yeah. So a bridled horse
and really something that captures that idea,
that marching, galloping horse through the country.
There's definitely going to be some difficulty
connecting the horse to the bike.
So, our template. Ha!
Compared to the other builds,
which have full walls of studs,
we've got two tiny connection points to attach the horse.
See, that went pop. That just went pop.
It might not be enough to support the weight.
Ooh...
So, this challenge, at the moment, plays to our strength
where Kale is obviously the artistic person,
I love the real-world Lego side of things.
We're gonna come up with something amazing.
Fellas. Hey!
What are we building?
Um... A half-horse, half-bike?
Big part of my childhood. Oh!
A big part of your childhood was half-horse, half-bike?
No! Well, OK.
As a child, getting that first bike, finding that underneath the tree.
Did you wish for half a horse? No! Well, OK.
And I remember coming down, Christmas morning,
and seeing under the tree
a half-horse squirming and whinnying,
as Dad had welded a bike to its back and I just thought...
Happy days!
.."I bet Kale's growing up the same way as me,
"getting a half-horse, half-bike for Christmas."
I believe - I believe that we will
get this half-horse, half-bike, centaur-bike happening.
It's good to have your confidence.
We need to brainstorm. What are you thinking?
Why don't we just do a playground,
and you know, that thing that spins like that?
Yeah. The carousel.
I don't think that relates to the TV enough.
We're gonna have to go with something.
The only reason why I haven't done anything,
'cause you haven't agreed with me yet.
Bing-bong! Hi!
Hi. Sorry, guys.
Seems like a visit from me is the last thing you want right now,
because... Yeah.
..45 minutes in... 45?!
..still at the planning stage.
Alright. We've gotta go, then.
You've gotta go? Oh, you're wrapping me up?
Oh, yeah. No, I've gotta go, as well.
You guys have gotta go. We've both gotta go. OK.
Looking around the room, everyone's started building already.
And that's really, you know, starting to freak us out,
because this is the first elimination.
That's a big page.
We've got the typewriter - that's gonna transition into a book.
The book is gonna have words
and then that's going to transition into kind of, like, a pop-up book,
but not really?
I'm thinking that we should do a fairy-tale
and a dragon that's going to be attacking a castle.
So I'm gonna start working on the castle
and the typewriter, which has a lot of technical skills in it
and Jordy's working on the book
and it's just working out perfectly.
Yeah. It looks like writing.
No, it doesn't. Yes, it does!
No, it doesn't! Looks more like writing than tiles.
We're not Lego Masters at the moment, but...
..we're gonna be.
Our secret weapon in this competition
is we have an awesome imagination.
(DISCO MUSIC PLAYING)
We never turned our imaginations off.
We never turned our childhoods off.
We're just cool, 19-year-old dudes who like to have fun.
And... Cool.
Yeah.
For me, there's never been a time where I haven't built Lego
and I can't imagine a time where I ever won't build Lego.
It's just such a massive part of my life.
This competition means everything to me and Miller.
We've built Lego together for years, we've been best mates for years.
With Jordy's visionary skills and my techniques,
we can build something that's never been seen before.
Oh, yeah, baby.
Oh, no, baby...
(SINGS) I need another one of you!
Sorry, baby.
We've gotta go the same way we've been thinking.
Why don't we just do a giant, like, remote control coming out of it?
I don't want to build, like,
just the other half of the TV.
Creativity is usually a strength of ours
but I think today, we both have...
BOTH: ..creative Lego block.
We're not going to build the other half of the TV.
Maybe we're gonna do something like, I don't know,
it's underwater - why don't we build something that's underwater?
A TV that's underwater?
Light-bulb moment. Ding!
Our idea is that this old TV has been thrown in the ocean.
There's gonna be fish living inside it,
there's gonna be coral built around it...
Yes, yes, yes!
Considering it's the first elimination,
everyone's trying to think outside of what they're normally used to
and that's what Brickman wants to see.
It's definitely putting a lot of pressure on us
but at the same time, we've gotta remember
that our first two builds have been really good
and we've just gotta do it the same way.
And look - we're friends again.
Yeah. (BOTH LAUGH)
Yep. Like that. And what about this side?
Perfect.
Everybody understands that you are building to stay in this comp?
You have got eight hours.
(CHUCKLES)
Oh, god. We wasted two hours.
We've already been building for two hours. Holy shit.
Two hours, man.
(TICKING)
Yep. That's about what I expected.
DAVID: Come on, G.
I'll be honest with you, Davey, I'm lost.
We got the projector
and our idea is to have it projecting the sculpture of a man.
We're more real estate. Coming from the art background,
it's not really our strong suit.
No idea what I'm doing. I've no idea where I'm going.
Building a sculpture is completely out of my comfort zone.
I am so frustrated.
I need to be honest with something.
We're two hours into this elimination bout
and there's nothing on the table.
You alright, G?
To stay in the competition, we have to take a risk.
I look at this green creation of mine...
pick it up, look at it.
There's nothing. It's not even part of anything.
(CRASH)
Ooh! Oh!
I just dropped it.
I scrapped it.
Let's just finish this first.
Don't want to go home today.
HENRY: Today's build is called Cut In Half
and we have to build the other side of a real-life object.
It's the first elimination
and we need to build something amazing.
The statue thing was a bit out of our depth,
so G threw it overboard, on the floor.
He had enough.
And we can't have an unhappy G,
so we're gonna go back to something we know,
which is build things we can see.
I guess, with G getting frustrated in the first part of this build,
I'm like, if we have to change to make us both happy,
then that's something I'm willing to do.
This is an historical old film camera,
so we're gonna do, like, a bit of a World War I scene
of some planes having a bit of a dogfight.
G: The projector's gonna be behind the planes.
Both planes will be moving, like they're chasing each other,
trying to shoot each other -
obviously won't be shooting Lego bullets
but we'll do our best to make it come to life.
Now we've got a really great idea but we're behind in time.
So, head down, bum up - let's go, let's smash this.
Um... You OK, Lyn? You need a hand?
I'm looking for grey.
We often talk about a needle in a haystack.
No idea.
But I've changed that now to it's like a brick in the brick room.
I'm trying to find ones that have just got a smooth slope on them.
Can't find any of them.
No idea.
Oh! Oh, dear.
I think I'll have to go without it.
Well, well, well. If it isn't... I need some help.
Look, can you just... Oh, Lyn, no!
..go back and find me a couple of these?
You know my bit is go round, see how everyone's going,
have a chat, see what they're doing
and then your bit's doing the building.
Can I ask what we're building?
For sure. So, we're doing, sort of, like, a calamity in the kitchen.
The calamity in the kitchen? Yes, that's right.
So, like, it's a... like, a blender explosion, or a...
That's right. So, we're blending up a birthday cake here
and it's just... it's gone wrong.
This is all the cake mix flying everywhere.
Do I see any regret creeping in for not playing the golden brick
or are we super-confident?
Well, I'm still confident. Yeah.
Put it out of our minds.
Far be it from me
to be someone to come over and put it back in your minds.
Yeah.
But if I was to put it back in your minds...
I'd probably say something like,
Ooh, you don't want to go home with a golden brick in your pocket, do you?
No, not at all.
This is pretty technical build.
So, Cade comes up with this really cool idea.
We've got this beautiful violin and we want to do it justice,
so we're gonna make this beautiful woman
that's kind of growing out of the violin
and she's gonna be... like, she's gonna have the bow
and she's gonna be playing the violin
and it's gonna look absolutely beautiful.
Super-ambitious but we really just want
to push ourselves over the line on this one.
Gents, how are we doing? Hi, Brickman. How are you?
Good. You sound calm.
Uh, I don't know - I'm feeling a bit stressed, if I'm honest.
Really? Yeah, um...
Just getting curves out of Lego can be a challenge
and that's what I'm dealing with at the moment.
I've made a life-size Lego violin before...
Yep. ..and it took 50 hours.
Well, I don't want to be compared to Brickman's builds, for one,
and the next thing, he tells me he spent 50 hours making it!
I am starting to panic.
Have we bit off more than we can chew?
Yeah, man. He's not wrong. He is not wrong.
Hey, guys, is it just me
or does it feel like about six hours remaining?
Do I need to do both the same colour?
Alright. I think the typewriter's pretty much done.
So, we're building a fairytale coming out of the typewriter.
Yeah, that'll be cool.
I've finished most of the typewriter,
so I feel like I can leave that until later.
So I'm gonna start working on the castle.
It's really gotta break into this. Yeah. Of course.
Oop!
Speaking of breaking... I didn't mean literal.
We're definitely on that upward slope.
We're really gonna push ourselves,
so that we're safe from this elimination.
# None of this is what I need, what I need, what I need
# None of this is what I need And that's a pro-o-blem. #
How doing? Yeah, alright.
My running skills have been going up just as much as my Lego skills.
So hopefully, if we can just continue on that trajectory,
we might be in it to win it.
Maddy and Jimmy! Hey, mate.
Boy, have you two made some progress!
So, what's the plan with the anatomy?
Kind of, trying to work on a bit of a human-shaped arm.
One of the things we talked about in your earlier builds
was anatomy.
We've got the pose here that doesn't seem a natural pose.
MADDY: Yeah, I see what you mean.
It's an elimination. BOTH: Yes.
Keep working at it. You've got the core done.
Thanks. Jazz it up.
Yep. OK. Alright. Thanks, buddy. Cheers.
To sculpt the human form out of clay is difficult.
Yet here we are using bricks
to create a form that is in no way square or rectangular.
I hope we do it right.
HAMISH: Alright, Brickman.
At the moment, bottom two - who are you concerned for?
I'm really concerned for Maddy and Jimmy. Yeah.
It's just incredibly blocky.
Can I see? Sorry - I just need to see it.
Yep. Yep, that'll be fine. Cool.
But there's a pivot point -
they can either go one way or the other.
And you know what?
I don't think Kale and Bilsy are gonna pull off a horse.
They're gonna get half a horse.
I mean, it's already half a horse -
so they're gonna get half a half a horse.
We're gonna get a quarter of a horse. Half the horse is a bike!
I haven't done fractions for a long time but you're absolutely right.
MARIELLE: We've got the other half of a TV
and we're gonna put some little fish into the TV,
like, sort of like a tank
and they've made it its new habitat.
So I'm gonna go and make sure that this is stable,
so when we connect it, it'll be good.
OK.
It's good to finally be moving ahead with something
but we really need to push ourselves
if we want to stay in this competition,
so at this stage,
that means using Technic.
Oh! I can't even... I've never done Technic in my entire life!
Lego Technic is a specific type of Lego,
which means you can make things move.
So, to use the Technic today,
we are going to make our clown fish spin around in circles.
Oh! He's not gonna go around.
Right now, it's not working.
You see what I mean? Like, there's too much weight.
We're finding it really difficult
to get this motor sitting the way we want it.
G: That's a wild, wicked, windy thing.
We don't know how to use it!
How do you make it go slower?
Do I strap it here?
You need to put another gear in.
Three? Yeah.
If we don't get this clown fish spinning,
then that's it for us - we're going home.
It's still going fast.
What are you making, Hamish?
Just always experimenting, to understand the contestants more.
Excuse me, Hamish -
you're not in here doing someone else's collecting, I hope.
You know I would never do that. Oh.
I'd collect for you or no-one, Lyn.
(LAUGHS)
'Cause I've got 10 hours to kill, alright? Um...
Everybody, you've got less than four hours to go.
Holy crudnuggets!
Hamish is stuck in the brick pit.
I'm going to take over time-calling duties.
Four hours to go.
HAMISH: He's great at Lego but...
he didn't do a good job, did he?
This is gonna take way too long.
Have a look. Have a look, have a look.
Looking at all the different angles and joints that we have to create
and I'm sort of panicking a little bit at this point.
Dude, I've got a...
Man, I think we need to double down on the story a bit more.
Cade had a beautiful idea and a vision
but I just don't think it's gonna translate
to what we can do in the time frame.
I think we should make her punk-rock.
Coming out of the violin and smashing it.
Actually, that could be pretty good.
Because then it gives us a reason
why the violin's not complete up here.
Maybe we could smash... We could have some broken bits down here.
I could make... Instead of having to worry about...
Instead of having the notes. Instead of having the notes.
She's burst through - is that what you're thinking? I like it.
I think we're gonna go punk.
We've never changed such an important story element
so late in the build.
It's either gonna pay off in spades
or just send us right to the bottom.
So, if I hold it down, is it not gonna fall?
Our clownfish is, like, our centrepiece.
Trust me - we need to get this on.
We're having trouble getting it on the axle
and making sure that it's stable enough to turn.
Take hold of this.
Not super-confident with our clown fish at the moment.
If I hold it down, is it not gonna fall?
It is quite fragile and I'm really worried having it up so high.
Can we get the clear ones?
Do these... Is there clear?
I'm pretty sure there's clear.
Do you mind grabbing them for me?
MAN: Are you OK?
Today's challenge is to take half of a real-life object
and integrate it into a Lego build.
Every team wants to avoid that elimination
and we definitely want to avoid it, having not played the golden brick.
I'm a strategy fan of reality shows...
Right. Tell me if I'm close here.
Is there someone you're looking at, going, "I can beat them"?
So... I mean...
Was I trying to make Matt name another team?
That he thought he could beat?
Absolutely not. I would never put Matt in that position.
Also, you can just do a bit where he takes a breath in...
You just cut to the other team.
MADDY: Over half of our build today
is being spent on creating this human form.
A lot longer than I was expecting. Yeah, it was taking ages.
Oh, damn. I even think that's too fat.
There's definitely things that I would have liked to have improved
but we just don't have the time
and we have to move on to the imagination.
We want to bring this thing to life.
Beautiful. Alright. Turn it off.
We want it moving, we want the brain spinning,
we want glowing eyes.
Part of Jimmy's imagination is, um,
a whole lot of mini-me's coming out of his head.
There's a tiny Maddy army scaling down my head.
I'm not sure what they're doing
but probably one of them is reminding me to put the washing out.
KAITLYN: Currently just trying to re-build our little fish.
But we've figured out how to reinforce this stick
and I think it will, hopefully, you know,
be the piece that will catch Brickman's eye.
Alright, guys. Sorry to interrupt.
Please keep building.
But, um...
While no-one wants to be the first team to be eliminated,
you have got two hours and two seconds -
let's call it an even two hours
to make sure that's not you.
You know what would have been awesome? What?
50 hours. (LAUGHS)
Hello, Matt and Lyn. How are you? I'm good, thanks.
Please enlighten me as to what's happening.
Well, this is a calamity kitchen, right?
We've got a whole bunch of things that are being cooked
and then the machines are all breaking.
And what have we got going on here, Lyn?
This is the microwave.
I mean, I've got a few reservations, I'll be honest.
The story's gotta tell itself.
I'm not picking up a story yet.
Because this challenge is not so much a technical build,
it's more artistic -
this is probably the one, if you were gonna play the golden brick...
that you probably should have played the golden brick!
I'm fairly anxious.
We don't want to walk out of here with a golden brick.
Ooh, don't drop on the table, little plane.
That would be awkward.
So, our second build of the day
we decide that we should go for some World War I vintage film,
showing one of the most famous pilots of that era, Red Baron,
chasing down one of the allied aircraft.
(MAKES AIRCRAFT ENGINE NOISE)
The Red Baron in the First World War, he was an ace pilot.
He was the one to beat.
I used to work in the air force as an aircraft technician
so planes are definitely a love for me.
But I never worked on anything quite like that.
Yeah, look at him go!
Look at him go, G!
Oh, we're done.
KALE: I don't know if we're going to have enough time.
The unicorn world was starting to take shape.
We had a chest on the bike, so we had the technic pin framed up.
I'm quietly confident.
The inside structure was perfect.
The head does weigh a lot.
It needs to be supported right.
So I'm making sure it is supported right.
And I look at the structure
that Bilsy has built up from the chest and the frame
and that's not going to do the job.
It's time to undo that and make sure it can.
This is straight out of the school of there I cludged it.
You know?
It works.
Is it pretty? Is that the most elegant solution?
Not at all. But it works.
It's actually surprisingly easy to reinforce that frame
and make sure that horse head stays up.
That's why I'm here as one of the potential Lego Masters.
This is what I do.
Let's make this happen.
(LEGO PIECES CLATTER)
So, I'm building a dragon at the moment.
I'm obviously not going to build the entire build in here
but it's definitely saving me a lot of time.
Building in the brick pit? Who does that?
(LAUGHS)
Sorry. (LAUGHS)
CADE: I really want to work out how this thing is going to be posed.
I think this hand,
you want have this hand up because she's going to have it up playing.
This hand, yeah? Yeah, the right hand.
I think we're ticking off the technical box right now.
Cade's violin, it's got a lot of technical building elements in it.
Alright, cool.
My punk rock robot, I've spent a lot of time making her arms articulated.
Do you want to see her play it for you?
Awesome. Awesome, mate.
We're adding all these details, all these mechanical details, wires.
Like she's breaking out of the violin.
Like she's been plugged in inside and now she's come out of it.
We're going to have an hour to go in a minute.
This is an elimination challenge and we need to win this.
Hello. Hi, how are you going?
Hello. Wow.
We have just done the motor.
Alright, I have to see it.
It should be right. We trust it.
Yay! Wow. Good job.
Oh! Now turn it off.
Let's not get too carried away. Alright.
If you were to look around the room and see what other people have made
and see the size and scale...
Do you maybe need to think about adding some larger things?
I don't think time will allow that.
I mean, if I were you, I'd probably really think about it.
Alright. OK.
Good luck. Challenge accepted.
Thanks, Brickman.
We've got our clownfish, it's spinning around,
and Brickman is not impressed at all.
This could cost us.
Look at everybody's and the size of theirs.
What are we going to do?
Alright, one of our things is going to be giant
and I think we should work on that.
We haven't built big enough.
Our little scene and sculpture isn't enough.
That needs to be the big... Well, it needs to be biggish.
Hopefully we can get everything that we want done.
BOTH: We're not going home today.
We've got little coral,
we've got little school of fish,
we've got right down to a little mermaid.
We've added all these elements that we want
so we're really hoping it's enough.
(DRAMATIC MUSIC)
HAMISH: Alright, guys.
It's the news that probably a few teams didn't want to hear.
But you have one hour.
One hour to go.
Eugh!
Get going, you've got plenty of time. An hour is a lot of time.
No, it's not.
It's not. Just hearing from Brickman it's not heaps of time
but it's time to make a difference.
# It's time to make a change... #
We don't have much time so let's stop celebrating.
Just to have your hand on the head.
It is. I know.
Because I'm pushing towards you
and you might have to catch it in a second.
Getting this horse head on at this moment, this is our pinnacle.
If this thing comes down, we're going home.
I am 100% certain that all of these connections will hold.
But a brick could break.
I am stressed.
OK, just a little bit down. Let go.
Nice work. Yeah.
I'm feeling happy.
I feel like we're going to be here next round.
Yeah.
Oh, that's a happy smile there, right, buddy?
Yeah. Who's a good horsey.
Who's a good horsey.
You are.
We need a name for you.
Freedom Rider? Silver?
Such a good horse, aren't you? It's OK.
Alright, guys, you have got 10 minutes.
We're really running out of time.
We need to make this look good.
Eugh!
Are we going to finish? And is it going to be good enough?
(PANTS)
Mate, I'm...
(CRASH)
Oh, the Red Baron. Oh!
Rightio, let's fix the plane.
Hang on. hold onto that. Don't let it move anywhere.
Come on.
We are entering the final five minutes.
We have a tail.
I wish you steady hands.
(BREAKING SOUND) Eugh!
I'll get the parts.
No, we can't do that.
(EDGY MUSIC)
I'm just three bricks a second, just smashing them on there.
If I'm going to go home today you don't want to see me cry.
And I'm going to throw a tantrum as well.
I cannot believe it's been 10 hours and there is still so much activity.
55 seconds to go.
Let's put these planes on.
Oh, man. Keep it together.
When time's up. It's bricks down.
Hands in the air, bricks down, when the buzzer goes.
I've got shaky hands.
This is the final 10 seconds.
Ahh!
Got this, I've got this.
Do you reckon that's better?
Where is this gonna go?
Two, one. Right, that is it.
Guys, congratulations. Well done, everyone.
(APPLAUSE)
Unreal. What an epic build.
Whoo! Love it.
We've come so close so many times before.
I think this is our best build.
We just really want to win.
Oh, man.
We're really proud that we tried something new today
that we haven't really done before.
(FESTIVE MUSIC)
Time is up. We finished.
And I'm looking at it going, that is pretty cool.
Alright, guys, that is it.
As we're all aware this is the first elimination.
There are some builds that are much better than ours out there.
I think that's obvious. Everyone's really stepped up.
So it does feel a little bit like we're rolling a dice.
I don't think we have any way
of calling where this elimination is going to go.
The question surrounding our team
is whether or not we should have played the golden brick.
As we're all aware, this is the first elimination.
Let's have a look at what you've done.
Fellas.
Hamish.
Brickman. Thank you. Congratulations.
Thank you. This stinks. Next table.
(LAUGHTER) Alright, well, who's next?
Guys, it's amazing.
(DRAMATIC MUSIC)
Brickman, Lego wise...
There's a lot going on with this build, isn't there?
Yep.
I like the way you adapted on the fly.
You were originally talking about a flowing dress
and things like that.
Then you realised that you didn't have enough time to do it
and didn't have the parts that you needed to do it,
and started using the wheel hubs
and the kind of stuff to sort of show her bursting out.
The breaking violin seals that.
It makes it easier to understand, just from a viewing perspective.
I'm absolutely stoked with it.
It's the fusion of your two building styles.
This fusion is fantastic, right? Well done, gents.
Thank you so much. Thanks, Brickman.
Great job. Thank you, Brickman.
Brickman is one of only 14 Lego-certified professionals
in the world,
and to impress him...
It's an amazing feeling. ..I'm stoked.
Maddy and Jimmy, hello.
G'day, mate. Hi, Brickman.
I assume, Jimmy, this is your head.
Ideas are coming out, there are lots of little Maddys flying out.
Which I'll leave to your therapist to tell you guys...
It's terrifying.
..why your head is full of lots of little Maddys running around,
some with crowbars.
Yep.
(SWEEPING ORCHESTRAL MUSIC)
It's hard to do contouring and curvature in Lego,
which would have been tricky on a human body.
I mean, Michelangelo had trouble with human bodies
and he was a terrible Lego builder.
But we never got to find out. He wouldn't touch the stuff.
But it's obviously a very hard thing to do.
Brickman, what's your vibe?
OK, alright, so...
Your first couple of builds it's been Jimmy and Maddy,
Jimmy and Maddy, Jimmy and Maddy.
You've got to move forward and think a little bit differently on that.
You kind of got there technically. A human form.
It's actually really difficult to do.
It's got subtle curves, musculature, all these sorts of things.
I am a little bit impressed with how you've got it in the arm,
but whilst you've really tried hard,
and I think it's much better than previous ones,
I'm not sure you've captured that shape.
The shoulder is going upwards when it should be going downwards.
So I think there's a fair bit of room for improvement there.
Sure.
So at the minute, I think you're in the frame for elimination.
Pretty terrifying
knowing that we could potentially be the first team to be sent home.
Guys, for many legal reasons
you can't have a horse and a bike joined together in real life,
but in Lego, it looks cool.
(DYNAMIC MUSIC)
There was a bit of chat amongst Brickman and I
that it could just be a headless horse being presented,
and the most terrifying bike of all time.
But, you know, you guys absolutely flew building it
after those legs were done,
to get it made.
Brickman, Lego wise...
If we were to pick an object,
this is probably the hardest out of all of them.
And had some very short connectors on the end of the Lego.
It actually didn't give you a lot to work with.
No.
So we were both quite impressed with how you've taken that.
There are a couple of bits that are kind of screaming at me.
There's a big piece missing here on the side of the neck.
A big white piece here,
which is showing the secret source on the inside of how it's made.
(DRAMATIC MUSIC)
It's very minor in the grand scheme of things.
I'm not getting too picky.
I think it's an amazing build
and you should be congratulated, both of you.
Well done. Thank you.
Our eye was on number one spot today.
The risk has paid off, I think.
Everyone seems to have gone big.
We're worried that our little scene and sculpture isn't enough.
(PULSING MUSIC)
Big tick in the aesthetic box.
Technical-wise,
this was your very first time ever touching Lego Technic.
It's a huge gamble.
Yep. Yep, definitely.
Right? That's crazy.
But for me it's about that story.
The scale is all out of whack.
I don't think you know what scale you're working at.
(DRAMATIC MUSIC)
It's all over the shop.
We were really happy
but Brickman doesn't seem too keen on what we've done.
For me it's about that story.
The scale is all out of whack.
It's all over the shop.
You've got mini figures,
you've got larger sea creatures,
you've got little boats.
I don't think you know what scale you're working at.
I really thought that this build was your time to shine.
I'm not sure you've done it.
Our number one ambition is to not be on the bottom,
not get eliminated,
and ideally of course, we want to be on top.
Guys, epic.
How are you feeling?
We're feeling very nervous but also proud.
We made this awesome fairytale coming out of the typewriter.
There is a dragon attacking the castle
and he has been trying to enslave the citizens of the fairytale.
(SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC)
What bits went better than you thought?
I think the castle turned out really awesome.
Brickman, are you happy to hear that? Yeah, I am.
Yeah, showing their technical skills is one of the boxes,
and when we talk about technical skill,
I think the castle is great and you know, you are proud of it.
For me it's the technical of the typewriter.
That greebling that you've done in there
to show the inside working of a typewriter,
I've never seen the inside of a typewriter
but I look at it and I go,
it looks like the inside of a typewriter to me.
Totally. And greebling, again, is a new word that I am always learning.
The technical definition of greebling
is making parts that have no use whatsoever
but they look like they belong.
Gotcha.
Yeah, even on... Yeah, so, all these chains.
Handcuffs. Anything there, yep.
From the very famous Lego bondage set.
(LAUGHTER)
You've now made it look like... Lego police.
(LAUGHTER)
So I'm going to give you a big tick for the story.
Technical-wise I'm going to give you a tick for the dragon.
I think the dragon is really cool.
However, you know what I really would have loved?
I would have loved for Hamish to come up
and make it a pop-up book.
Yeah.
So it would have been doable? Absolutely doable.
Probably that's from my perspective.
Probably the only slight negative for what it's worth.
Yep.
But overall, you guys are on the right trajectory. Keep it up.
Awesome.
Brickman said lots of great things about us but the question is,
has he said enough good things about us versus everybody else?
We don't know.
Dave and G, how are you gentlemen? Good.
Do you trust me to touch it? You can turn on.
It's these two switches? Yep.
Flick 'em forward.
(DYNAMIC MUSIC)
(AEROPLANE ENGINES ROAR)
(GUNFIRE)
Crazy. So you've got your film.
The film is now reeling.
It's the film of Red Baron, brought to life in glorious Lego 3-D.
Lego 3-D. And in colour.
(LAUGHS)
That's so cool.
Alright, Hamish, let's save the batteries.
You sat there floundering and had that big green blob.
And you turfed it... Yep.
..and that put you under the pump right from the word go.
Look, to be honest, to make a decision like that
with $100,000 and elimination on the line,
that's pretty gutsy.
First off technical.
You've got planes that are swaying. Tick.
Very happy with that. I think looks fantastic.
That's your skills, that's your forte.
So really happy with that.
In terms of story, absolutely nailed the story.
I mean, could you have asked for a better prop?
And G, you didn't even want it. You hated the projector.
Yeah, I hated the projector.
In the end it's just that square thing.
I don't know. But yes, it turned out.
For the first time in Lego Masters you've ticked all three.
Congratulations. Well done.
Thank you. Thank you.
Are you happy? I'm happy.
Well done.
I'm happy with our decision not to play golden brick,
but it does feel a little bit like we're rolling a dice.
Matt and Lyn, congratulations. Well done.
Thank you very much. Guys, great job.
The disaster in the kitchen.
It feels like a weird thing to say but are you happy with your disaster?
Yep. I'm very happy with our disaster, yeah. It's great.
It looks awesome.
You've got bits and pieces.
But in terms of the transition from real thing to Lego world
I reckon that looks awesome.
Do you want to turn it on? Just flick that switch there.
(MAGICAL MUSIC)
Brickman, what's your vibe?
OK, if we look at the three boxes you need to tick,
the technical you've got.
I think the aesthetic, it's very colourful and bright.
The 'happy birthday', that probably got you over the line there.
But the story just feels a little bit incomplete.
I'll give an example.
I'm not 100% sure what that is with the nice pastel colours.
It's very hard to read from an observer point of view.
Because of that, it's probably going to put a bit of pressure on you
come judging time today.
I'm crushed.
And not playing the golden brick means this could be the end.
This is the bit where we remember it's a competition
and it does mean that for one team
the Lego Masters dream sadly finishes today.
OK, now, the way this is going to work is...
..top two teams will be automatically safe.
Brickman, what are your thoughts?
Well, I think you've all surpassed expectations.
(UPLIFTING MUSIC)
For me there are a couple that are clear standouts.
First one, Henry and Cade.
Well done, guys. Thank you.
(APPLAUSE)
And of course, David and G.
(CHEERING AND APPLAUSE)
Henry and Cade, you guys, amazing stuff.
I think you ticked all three boxes.
It looks beautiful. Well done. Thank you.
Thanks, Brickman.
David and G,
about two hours in you pressed the big undo button,
un-did all your work,
and started again.
Unprecedented, almost,
and for some amazing reason you guys have pulled out an absolute pearler.
You ticked all three boxes as well. Well done.
There was one build that was better than the other by this much.
(SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC)
Henry and Cade. Well done.
(CHEERING AND APPLAUSE)
Thank you.
because we know someone
So the first team that I would like to call forward...
..is Kaitlyn and Marielle.
Of course.
Well actually, no. I can't.
The second team I'll call forward...
..is Jimmy and Maddy.
(EXHALES)
I'm really, really hoping this is not our time.
I would also like to call forward...
..Matt and Lyn, please.
(TENSE MUSIC)
You think you're safe, but you're not.
Ten hours, and I've gotta say, you all hustled.
You really did.
Kaitlyn and Marielle, your colours are amazing.
You really do nail that, and you've had that right from day dot.
Unfortunately the scale is all out of whack.
Jimmy and Maddy,
your story's also amazing,
however, technically, you're probably still lacking a little bit.
Matt and Lyn,
I don't think there's any doubt about your technical abilities.
I'm just not sold on the story.
Like all decisions I've had to make thus far,
In my entire Lego career that I've had,
I've never had to send somebody home
So I do say it with a heavy heart.
(EDGY MUSIC BUILDS TO A CLIMAX)
Kaitlyn and Marielle,
unfortunately your story wasn't quite up to your usual standard
and that's why you'll be going home today.
You've come so far.
(EMOTIONALLY) Your Lego builds are awesome.
Thank you for competing.
Look, I think we're happy with what we've done.
We wouldn't have gone any other way.
(EMOTIONAL MUSIC)
Guys, you have been awesome on this show.
This is harder than anyone thought it was going to be.
But there is no doubt you guys are creative geniuses.
You made beautiful things here
and we're all luckier for having seen them.
Thank you so much. Thanks, guys. MAN: Great job.
Thanks, guys.
We've had so much fun this entire competition.
(SQUEALING)
We're super glad that we've been able to experience it.
(CHEERING AND APPLAUSE)
Alright, well, no-one is in any doubt
the bricks are fun, but the contest is real.
Skin of your teeth, holding onto the golden brick.
Well done, guys, to get this far.
But that's what's gonna make it exciting as well.
Take a break. You've earned it. That was a long built.
Thanks very much. MAN: Thank you.
Well done.
MAN: (SIGHS)
Just turned my favourite toy into the most stressful pastime ever!
WOMAN: Bloody hell, I've never cried over Lego before!
Australia, amazing Sunday
have more challenges than ever before.
Keep building, keep building.
Panic, panic!
The awesome Break'n'Make.
Build whatever you want using just the pieces from the parrot.
And...
You gotta build your apartment.
This is something The Block can't do.
..the sky-high mega tower.
18 floors high. The level of detail is crazy.
Whose Lego dream will soar and who will go home?
Wow.
You are allowed to use more than one word.
Double wow.
