Lego Masters (2020–…): Season 1, Episode 2 - Space Smash - full transcript
Each duo must create a space-themed build; the creations are smashed in slow motion.
- Previously...
- Wow.
I'm your host Will Arnett,
and welcome to "Lego Masters."
A new kind of competition
pushing the limits
of imagination.
The best Lego builders
in America
competing for $100,000
and the Lego Masters title.
Say hello to our Brick Masters
Jamie and Amy.
We are here in front
of Lego legends.
The team that wins
today's challenge wins this.
The Golden Brick
gives you immunity.
Our first challenge,
your own dream theme park.
The bumper cars, how are
we gonna make them move?
There's no way
we're gonna make them move.
The worst thing we can do is press
on with an idea that isn't working.
The winner of the Golden Brick,
Aaron and Christian.
- What?
- Yes! Yes!
At this stage,
you need your rides to work.
The bottom two teams.
Nestor and Manny
and Sam and Jessica.
We're gonna let this one slide.
Nobody is going home today.
Tonight...
- ...with special
guest Mayim Bialik.
You will be creating
space builds
that we're going to destroy
in amazing ways.
Work! You don't need to look at
me while you're talking to me.
- It's just so much pressure.
- Like, I feel like
you don't understand Lego.
This week,
the last place build is going home.
Yippie-ki-yay, Lego Masters.
All right, here we go. Rolling.
Rolling, everyone. Rolling.
Welcome back
to Lego Smash, everybody.
Is that a voice that you do?
It's a voice
I feel like I could do.
All right, here we go.
Here we go.
What's it gonna be?
- Dude, space. Space.
- Yeah.
This is the first challenge
where they're sending someone home,
and we definitely need
to bring our A game.
We need to work together.
We need to communicate.
We need to work fast.
And we definitely need to win.
Welcome back to "Lego Masters," the greatest
Lego-building competition in the world.
Last week, Team Aaron and Christian
won the coveted Golden Brick.
And now with that magical piece
in their possession,
they're safe from elimination,
but only if they choose to use it.
- Nice to have it in your back pocket.
- I agree.
We want to avoid using this
as long as we possibly can.
And hopefully produce a build
that does not need it.
At the end of this challenge, the team
with the last place build is going home.
Let's talk about
what you're going to build.
Look around. I don't think you
need to be a rocket scientist
to figure out the theme.
Space.
Space.
Wrong.
Wow.
Wait a second, wait a second.
You said space.
Yeah, sorry, you were right.
You were right. My bad.
All right, it's all good.
It's all good.
Because this week,
each team will tell a space-themed story,
and at the end of that story,
we're gonna smash it into pieces.
- Yeah!
- Awesome.
It doesn't get much better
than that.
You don't smash Lego.
Period.
Well, in this case, you do.
He has attachment issues.
All right, you're gonna be judged
on your creation and how it looks
when it shatters and splatters, so make
sure you factor that into your design.
I am joined once again
by our Brick Masters,
Lego lead designers
Jamie and Amy.
Brick Masters, what should they
keep in mind for a build like this?
This challenge is really an
opportunity to tell an amazing story
around the moment of the smash.
And it is really important
that the build not only looks great,
but smashes in the most
spectacular way.
How are we going to destroy
your builds?
That's a really good question
that I've just asked myself.
This seems like the time
in a competition show
where we would wow people
with a guest star, right?
- But we're not gonna do that.
- Aww.
Actually, yes,
we are gonna do that.
Yes!
Mayim Bialik is here.
My God.
That is so awesome.
I have loved her
since "Beaches."
I used to watch "Blossom"
growing up.
- I am so excited.
- Not "Big Bang Theory," "Beaches."
- Totally "Beaches."
- Thank you for coming and joining us here.
No problem.
I wanted you to come by 'cause
I need you to smash something.
Will, I'm an actor
with a PhD in neuroscience.
Same.
You really just brought me here 'cause
you want me to smash some Lego stuff?
Yeah.
Awesome.
Consider it done.
All right.
We've got three incredible ways
to smash your creations.
First we're gonna bust them
with a space ball bat.
Actually, that was
a little hard to resist,
so I already kind of did that.
But we can just watch it
in super slo-mo
hi-def instant replay,
how about that?
Next we're gonna use explosives
to make a big bang.
Shut up!
Woohoo! Yes!
And last, but not least,
we're going to gravity drop them
from high above
our studio stratosphere.
And by that,
she means the balcony.
Exactly.
All right, well, we'll get you up
there with some slick, you know,
quick reality show editing.
- Wow, wow, wow.
- Wow.
- Ready?
- Are you ready?
No.
- Bye, bye.
- No, no.
No!
Yeah!
It was a combination
of heartbreaking and awesome.
- It was awesome by Blossom.
- Awesome Blossom.
When we say go,
reach for a star,
crack it open, and you'll find
your method of destruction inside.
- That's cool.
- You get 11 hours to complete this build.
Your mission starts...
now.
Get your brick on.
- Big bang! Big bang.
- Big bang.
Gravity drop!
Space ball bat!
Space ball bat! Space ball bat!
Space ball bat!
All right, let's open that up.
Let it be the big bang.
- Please let it be big bang.
- Let it be the big bang.
- We got big bang! Yeah!
- Big bang! Yeah!
Yeah!
Mayim, have you ever been this
excited about anything in your life?
- No.
- I haven't.
It's so great.
You have, like, an alien
and an astronaut
that are both,
like, clinging to each other.
And they're like, "Aah!"
When creating a Lego model,
the initial planning is some of the
most critical part of the build.
We're gonna do alien intestines.
The teams may not be able
to fully control the explosion,
but they can definitely have an influence
over the story that they're telling.
But since it has to break apart,
what if it was like a volcano?
And that's where their
creativity comes into play.
So we have two bright colors, but the
one's not showing up until it explodes.
Yeah, that's a good idea.
Last challenge we had
miscommunication and anger.
And we do not want to be
in the bottom two again.
This is a chance for
you guys to kind of reset.
- Yes.
- A new challenge.
How do you feel about
the challenge this week?
I feel good because I am
obsessed with space.
Yeah, you know, I find that all my
exes, they must love space.
They were always asking
for space.
- I'm Jessica.
- I'm Sam.
We left our corporate jobs to pursue
our dreams of becoming artists.
We met through
the Lego community,
and we have never built
together before.
If we go in there
with a positive attitude,
we're gonna crush
the competition.
Something cute,
but still-- but still spacey.
We are going to create space cats
that are attacking planet Earth.
And they come across
this dog park.
I've done stuff like this before.
I think this will work.
Someone's running.
So, thank you for joining me
here, by the way.
There's no one I'd rather spend
11 hours with than you.
- It's a lot of time.
- Yeah. Well, they gotta build.
So, I just spend my time
doing this kind of stuff.
- Are they rolling?
- Yeah, yeah, yeah. We're rolling.
- We're rolling?
- Yeah, we're rolling.
- I didn't realize.
- We're always rolling.
- I'm sorry. I didn't realize.
- This is reality television.
That's a camera, that's a
camera, that's a camera.
So, some people are still planning
while others are already collecting.
Yeah, they sketch it out.
You see these guys, they plan it out.
- They argue over stuff.
- Have there been any fights yet?
No fights, but there have been
a few disagreements.
- Okay.
- And then when you go and you say like,
"Hey, are you guys getting
along?" They're like, "We are."
- Two kids sitting on a couch...
- Yeah.
- ...playing a video game,
and then do, like, a TV. - Yeah.
So Mark and I have the big bang,
and we are creating a video game
battle that sort of comes to life.
Then the explosion is game over.
- Yeah.
- How cool.
What's the sort of inspiration
for this?
It was my daughter,
my eight-year-old in my brain,
it inspired me to think what if
the girl's spaceship is a unicorn?
- That's cool.
- Yeah.
Incorporating my daughter
and her ideas
and the things that she loves,
it makes me want to do twice as awesome
on this build
as I could otherwise.
First thing that comes to my mind
is, like, a space station.
We got the big bang. And we're going to
build a crescent-shaped space station.
One of the loaders has lost control and is
now spiraling towards the space station.
Pah! It's gonna be great.
Cool. It'll be a really--
really different shape, I think.
Aaron, is that gonna be
like a space Ferris Wheel or...?
You know,
it's funny you say that.
We are creating a big purple
monster that eats planets...
...named Legor.
Tell me how competitive are
you guys with the other teams?
I mean, there's no way that you
take two dudes from the streets
and tell us that we can't beat
people in the Lego competition.
Do you know how much we would
get clowned in the hood?
Nah, it's not going down
like that, Will.
- Nuh-no, unh.
- Not at all.
Kara, how are you feeling?
We, um, we are communicating.
Right. You're communicating well.
Well, you keep talking for her.
- Yes.
- Okay. Jess-- Jess.
- Hi.
- Still laughing through that tight smile.
- She's the puppet master.
- Blink twice if you're safe.
- Yes.
- Okay.
Aaron, Aaron, Aaron, Aaron.
Wait, you got my minifig in there.
- Yeah, yeah. That's you. Is that you?
- Okay. That is me, yeah.
- I see the resemblance.
- Let's put him on your bicep. Let's do it.
- My gosh.
- I'm doing push-ups...
- Push-ups on the bicep.
- ...on the bicep.
There it is. And now ma--
- Back to building. Stop.
- It's a lot, right?
- That's enough of this.
- What do you mean I have to talk to HR?
Now?
So which are you going
to work on?
- The dog park.
- Okay. Draw the whole park.
That I cannot do at this moment.
- Why?
- I've been seeing it in my mind,
and I'm just kind of doing it.
Okay.
- Coming up...
- It's time for your build
to meet...
- the bat...
- Here it goes.
- ...man.
- No!
- We having a great time.
- We bros,
we work together,
we can get anything done, man.
This week we have 11 hours for the Space
Smash Challenge and we got gravity drop.
And we are building a planet that
has a core that's ready to explode.
The plan is
to have this exposed,
but to still keep
the cylinder shape.
So that way when it smashes,
there's no support over here.
So it's gonna break
a lot easier.
- Hey, what's up? I'm Corey.
- And I'm Travis.
Being five years older,
my dad always told me
that I had to protect
my brother.
When I was six,
I was diagnosed with leukemia.
And being practically bedridden,
I wasn't able to go outside
like my other friends was doing.
I felt like I failed him.
And it's hard thinking
about it now being, you know,
we're older and he's healthy.
But at that time, it was tough.
Having my brother coming over to the
hospital to play Lego with me was a treat.
We started building
whatever we could imagine.
We've been building Lego
for about 20 years,
and we're gonna do this
competition and we're gonna win.
And we're excited.
So when it falls, all the elements
inside the core is leaking out.
- Leaking out, yeah. - And that's
what's causing everything to explode.
- Hey, guys.
- Hey, overachievers.
- Hey.
- I can't wait to see
what it's gonna be 'cause I
think that how y'all work, right?
You can't tell what it is
until the very end.
An important part of any challenge or
competition is the element of surprise.
We have a strong plan,
but we want to be extra hush-hush.
Yeah.
A lot of what I'm showing Amy
is how to design these tentacles
using SNOT pieces.
Lego Learn about
Tyler and Amy's SNOT.
I know what you're thinking.
Is this another PSA about flu season?
It'SNOT.
Lego SNOT stands
for Studs Not On Top,
which means you're building
with your pieces
facing upside down
or to the side.
It helps you achieve a smoother,
more realistic build,
and that's nothing to sneeze at.
You're fired.
I'm kidding.
I got to get more, Jessie.
- How tall is it?
- 15 and a half.
So we're going to
make Volcopolis,
a city that is built
on top of a volcano.
It has a monster
living underneath,
which is eventually going to
explode the whole volcano.
We can do this.
Look how fast this is going up.
I am an anxious tornado
and Richard is always cool.
Which is great, because
it super balances me out
and it works really well for us.
I feel like this is
building to our strengths.
Well, I think I could
get it done faster.
We could have had it done
already if you just start.
Um, like,
is that all you want done?
That's your dog park? Are you gonna
start building on top of there?
Yes.
Have you been seeing what's
going on with Sam and Jessica?
- Yeah. - It just seems like they
can't agree on anything right now.
- They haven't really built anything.
- No.
So early to already
be having that conflict.
We've seen it cost them before.
Yes, I get it.
Fence all around. Done.
- Okay. - You drew it. You don't
need to write it five times.
Okay. Again, let's be
a little kinder, okay?
- Hey, guys. Nestor and Manny.
- How's it going?
- Hi, how are you doing?
- How are you guys? Good to see you guys.
- Sorry to interrupt.
- That's fine.
My dad and I
are building this planet moon
and this alien lives in it.
I want to create something
that when the space ball bat
hits it,
it won't break.
- Yeah. - You know, I got a bad
elbow, so that's gonna hurt,
- just gonna be honest with you.
- No, no.
I'm gonna create
some alien intestines,
so hopefully, you know, the whole
sphere that's holding it will break.
- Everything else would just drop.
- That's pretty cool.
- So you guys would just pick up on
what's gonna drop. - That's cool.
- You had me at alien intestines.
- Right?
Onward and upward.
So Amie and I got
the gravity drop,
and we are making a spacecano...
- Called Planet...
- Volcalia.
So we're actually kind of
doing the same thing
that I do a lot
for 3-D printing.
You use kind of like
a in-fill structure
kind of like a honeycomb, so it still
has structure support for this volcano.
- Feels good. - But it doesn't
weigh as much or take up as many bricks.
And then we're just gonna
fill it with sparkles.
- Hey, Kara and Jessie.
- Hi.
What is your story
that's out of this world?
It is a spaceship that
is being attacked by an alien.
So once the bat hits
our creation,
we want to look like
the alien is exploding
and his insides are coming out.
Just think about one complete
story that only gets better...
- Yes.
- ...when it's destroyed.
Okay.
- Hey, Aaron.
- Yeah?
You might need to use that
Golden Brick for this challenge.
Call me again
when you have a Golden Brick.
- I'm gonna have your Golden Brick.
- Yeah.
We will by the end of this one.
Okay, okay.
Having the Golden immunity Brick
definitely puts us under the microscope.
Everyone wants to swoop in
and get it from us.
Six hours left on the clock, guys.
Six hours.
- Slow and steady, but fast.
But also really fast. - Slow and steady.
We got it, we got it, we got
it, we got it, we got it.
I look around the room
and there's a lot built.
I think if we just focus on the
task, we can definitely do it.
Like, right now,
you're pushing down a sidewalk
where you don't know where
anything going around it is.
Um...
If you don't have a plan
for where it goes, you make it--
So you feel more comfortable
if you did this portion?
I can't do this.
Could you do the-- Can you sculpt a cat?
I'm not counting
your sculpting abilities.
You know,
you're just really stressed out.
- I am super stressed out.
- I know you're stressed out.
- I sympathize with that 100%.
- Work. Draw while you're talking to me.
You don't need to look at me
while you're talking to me.
You need to calm down.
I don't feel like you're being part of
the team. You're not doing anything,
Like, I feel like you don't
understand Lego.
You need to calm down.
We've been having
some team dynamic issues
building our space cat
attacking a dog park.
We just have to kind of
figure out how to communicate
and do the best
that we can possibly do.
I don't feel like you're being part of
the team. You're not doing anything.
Like, I feel like you don't
understand Lego.
- What's going on? - I'm really trying to
just map it out the best that I can do.
Um, and I hope that we can
come together as a team
and make something
that's awesome.
Yeah, of course you do.
And, look, it's-- I get it.
You guys each want to do
is help each other
'cause you guys are on
the same team, right?
So at the end of the day,
you have to have each other's backs.
Yes. So I'm just asking you to
just be a little more patient.
Have a little more trust
and faith in me.
I would love that more than
anything in the whole world.
- That's awesome. That's awe--
- Great.
I trust-- I trusted her.
She can make it beautiful.
- Perfect. Positive.
- Yes, I trust that you can do that.
- Good. Yeah, there we go.
- There we go. That's where we start.
I do this all the time. I do this at home.
I do this with my kid.
I hit this imaginary restart
button.
- I go... bang.
- Done. Restart.
So how about we restart
right now?
- I agree. Yeah. Let's just-- There we go.
- Hug?
Yeah, there we go. Come on.
You guys are both great builders.
- Aww.
- You got it, buddy.
Time was completely wasted. So we're trying
to work on two separate parts of the build
so we can hopefully
finish it in time.
We definitely don't want to be
up for elimination this week.
We can do it.
No!
Man.
Whoa!
Hey, you still can use
that Golden Brick.
Don't remind them.
We're gonna build a crescent-shaped
space station that's under construction.
And I'm running into a really
tough engineering problem.
We're building a build
that's designed to break,
but it's breaking too much.
- Okay.
- Everything going okay over there?
I think I have to have a
little more stability in there.
- It's a bit too finicky.
- Whoa.
I'd be panicking right now,
but maybe, you know,
you work well with your back
up against the ropes, right?
I do my best, yeah.
Most other teams
are building something
that's really round and compact
and full of things.
Our vision is to have a lot
of dispirit explosions
that make for a more dynamic
final product.
- And I saved my one by fours.
- Yeah?
- Aaron and Christian, how are you doing?
- Hey, Christian and Aaron.
- Fantastic. - I have to say
looking at this, I am curious to see
how is that going to actually
disintegrate when the pieces are so large?
I know we're taking a little
bit of a risk with this design,
but I think we can
prove him wrong.
- I think it will work, you know?
- I agree, I agree.
You have some really nice
geometry there,
- but it's also using Technic...
- Right.
...which is one of our
strongest methods of building.
- I know, I know.
- Our Brick Masters can be pretty brutal.
- They seem so nice.
- They do, right?
- Well, they're monsters.
- Thank you for the feedback.
- Well, best of luck to you guys.
- Thank you, guys.
- Okay, good luck.
- Thank you both.
I thought it might help
the teams
if you offered some words
of encouragement.
- Um, yeah. I guess maybe--
- Yeah, okay, great.
So here, take this megaphone.
And then this is, like,
a long list of sweet things
that I just wrote down,
and that should do the trick.
"Your only limitation
is your imagination."
That's not bad.
"Brick-lieve it
and you can build-chieve it."
A little clunkier, sure.
"If you build it,
they will co--," okay.
That's not inspirational. That's, like,
literally a quote from "Field of Dreams."
I was pretty sure
I made that one up. Okay.
We're seeing quite a change
in direction here.
- Are you still on a volcano?
- Yes.
We had another level
on top of this,
and we just completely
removed that level.
And that's what I'm a little bit concerned
when I'm seeing the current direction
is you have quite a lot of
area that it would be very hard
for even a professional
baseball player
to be hitting below
a certain point.
I just want to make sure that,
you know, when Will comes in,
this is gonna be
an awesome moment.
- Great. Thank you so much.
- Got it.
Good luck.
Well, there was a lot there.
- Yeah.
- What's wrong, Flynn?
I'm feeling really
emotional right now.
Just all the noise,
all the pressure,
all of the advice, the clock--
it's all just weighing on me.
If I can't get
my stuff together,
we're going to go home,
and that feels terrible.
Can you tell me what it is?
- It's just--
- Look at me.
I don't want to let you down.
What? No, you haven't.
Not at all. No.
No, you haven't.
We made all these
decisions together.
We're a team
and we need each other.
Neither one of us
can do this alone.
We just worked so hard
to get here and I don't--
- You're not. No. - I don't want
to be the reason that we go home.
Not at all. I feel so grateful
to be doing this with you.
Don't even worry about that.
- Ooh!
- Whoa!
Whoa! Look at the tongue
on that thing.
- Holy cow.
- My God.
Since we have the gravity drop
as our method of destruction,
we really want to take that
into account in our building.
So our first section that's going
to hit the floor is our alien.
Then we're going to have a bomb
that will hopefully fall
into the mouth of the alien.
And then we're going to have
our hero destroying the monster.
We still want to beat you,
but you're doing great.
Everybody's working towards making
something really incredible...
to smash.
But, Mayim, you've got to go.
Yes, thank you
so much for having me.
This was really terrific.
Thank you.
No, I want you to know.
Man.
Here I go again.
Here I--
Here come the waterworks again.
Are you sure you want to leave now?
You're going to miss
all the destruction
I know. You think
maybe as I'm leaving,
I could smash someone's build
when they're not looking?
Of course not. No.
You totally could.
You totally could if you wanted to.
I was just kidding.
That's a terrible thing to do.
Yeah, I know.
I was kidding, too.
- I was-- come on.
- Bye.
Good-bye.
Here we go.
Time is crucial.
So, Brick Masters Amy and Jamie,
who has stuck out so far
for you in this challenge?
Amy and Tyler have been
keeping their cards
a little bit close
to their chest.
Yeah, they've been
very secretive.
But it really
screams out "space"
and they've got
some great scale there.
The canister will drop
into the alien's mouth
- and explode.
- I'm liking it.
What do you think about
Sam and Jessica
and how they've progressed?
Once they get
the head on that cat,
then I think they'll
really have something.
It's starting to come together,
but they really wasted
a lot of time
because they just
weren't working together.
T-minus one hour!
Ho, ho!
T-minus one hour.
When I get up to here,
we'll turn it.
- All right.
- We need to lay this down
so that the point of impact
is more concentrated.
Put the-- hand on the bottom.
Hand on the bottom.
Can I help?
Do you want me to hold it?
- Do you have a steady hand?
- Yeah, I do.
Okay.
I hope we don't realize
that it's too fragile
when we turn it over.
On the count of three.
We're going to go that way.
I am going to turn to the camera
and say something
super foreboding
so that we can go
to a commercial.
- You ready?
- Yes.
Kara and Jess
are barely hanging on,
so come on back...
...to "Lego Masters."
Time is ticking.
Everybody seems
to be running around
trying to make those
last minute adjustments.
Jessie and Kara, I got to say,
when I went over
to speak with them,
it did feel a little flimsy.
I've got it. I've got it.
I've got it.
It's detached over here,
just so you know.
We've got to make
a decision quickly.
If they can't manage
to put it all together,
they might be in the bottom two,
and someone's going
home this week.
This is a disaster.
The spaceship is completely
destroyed before it's destroyed.
The worst thing we can do
is panic right now
That's the absolute
worst thing we can do.
T-minus one minute
to complete your build.
- Whoo!
- Go grab more plates.
Our spaceship
got to be done, man.
It's done.
Don't you start adding stress.
This is it!
Five, four, three, two, one!
Time's up! Bricks down!
Look how awesome that looks,
all the stuff coming out of it.
Tyler and Amy
built a bunch of small things.
It looked like they had nothing.
And then in the last hour,
they put it together,
and it's this giant,
amazing thing
that nobody saw coming.
Okay, teams,
before our Brick Masters
take a look at your builds,
Aaron and Christian,
would you like to use
the Golden Brick
to protect you
from elimination today?
Or do you think
your build is good enough
and you'll hold onto it
for next time?
I agree.
They are
not going to use the Golden Brick.
All right, let's go
break some stuff!
For the record,
I do not approve of damaging Lego.
- He's wearing a batsuit.
- My God.
- It's a nice look.
- Ready to be a plumber.
- Looks good on you.
- Wow.
- Yeah.
- Thank you.
Now it's time to take a look
at your space creations
and smash them into pieces!
Tyler and Amy, you're up first.
We got the gravity drop.
We have our hero
and the monstrous villain
from the depths of space.
Our hero has got
a trick up his sleeve--
this highly explosive canister
that will bring him
ultimate victory.
This is epic.
It commands a presence.
So, well done for accomplishing
something at that scale.
What I'm impressed with the most
is your building
techniques look easy,
but they're actually
deceptively hard.
When you're making all of these
different curve shapes coming up
and keeping them stable,
that's really difficult.
- You did a great job with it.
- Thank you.
Now it's time to destroy
your beautiful creation.
I'll see you guys up there.
So our plan all
along was to have the bomb
drop into the monster's mouth,
and we're just hoping
that that works.
This is heavier than I thought.
My gosh.
My gosh.
- Okay.
- No, no.
3, 2, 1!
Yeah!
- Boy.
- Yeah, he just--
I think it was brilliant
that the charge
actually went down
inside the alien.
Probably what
I'm impressed with the most
is how much it's destroyed
considering how solid it looked.
Really, really impressive build,
and impressive destruction.
- Thank you.
- Great job.
Thank you, Tyler and Amy.
Going into this build,
we knew the we were
going to have to destroy it.
So there is a certain amount
of satisfaction and pleasure
in seeing it actually explode
the way you've been
imagining it.
Sam and Jessica, you're up.
This is the first
elimination challenge,
and we do not want to be
in the bottom two again.
What's the story here?
Intergalactic space cats
are invading planet Earth
and they have stumbled
across a dog park.
And Will is going to be
the hero of the universe
and use the space bat
to save the planet
and knock the cat
out of this world.
I know you guys were having a little
bit of trouble working together,
so it's ironic that your theme
is cats and dogs.
He was definitely the cat.
Meow.
When a story where you want to
have the cat knocked off,
you want to leave something
behind that we care about.
And unfortunately
when I see the tan building,
it just doesn't
have enough detail
to make me want it
to actually survive.
I kind of want
the whole thing to go off.
It's really clear that you guys
struggled with time here.
When you look at
some of the other builds,
yours is on
a much smaller scale.
All right, everyone.
Safety goggles on.
Sam, Jessica...
Here it goes, here to goes.
- Wow.
- And the building stayed, too.
That felt really good.
Whoo!
Your building is here
and your cat is gone,
but it feels a bit disjointed.
Even though you came
together as a team,
it's clearly two models.
I think you struggled
a little bit today.
But I did okay?
- You did great.
- Yeah, thank you.
Just a-- I'm just, you know,
worried that
they're judging me, too.
- Wow.
- Thank you, Sam and Jessica.
- Thank you.
- Yeah!
That sucks we got bad reviews.
Jermaine and Mel, you're up.
We got the big bang.
This is Legor, ha ha ha!
Terrifying devourer of planets.
Okay, guys,
we got a fire in the hole.
Whoa-ho!
- Yes.
- I think the scale of him
made for a really
epic explosion,
but I would have loved to see
some little planets inside him.
But overall it was great.
- Thanks a lot.
- Amie and Krystle.
- This is our planet...
- Volcalia!
Here we go.
Whoa!
Jamie, when that landed, I thought
it was going to go through the floor.
As a volcano, though,
I was kind of hoping
it has something
to come up from the middle.
Manny and Nestor, you're up.
We created this moon
that has this alien inside.
It's time for you build
to meet the bat...
...man.
Wow, that felt good!
- Whoa!
- Wow.
I am so happy to see that your
intestines are actually intact.
Kudos to you knowing how to
build those in the right way.
Corey and Travis, you're up.
Scientists
are trying frantically
to try to stabilize the planet.
But as you can see,
the core is leaking
all over the place.
- You guys ready?
- No.
I think you guys were clever
to have the build open
so that you saw that molten core
as it smashed to the ground.
Overall, it was great.
Richard and Flynn, you're up.
Humans have found
a rocky, desolate planet.
And what they actually discover
is it's not just a mountain.
It's a volcano.
The alien inside
is going to sacrifice itself
and blow up the mountain
to rid its planet of humans.
- Quite a story.
- It is.
I am curious to see
how it actually explodes
because you've given quite
a large base on the bottom.
The fate of how
our model explodes
is literally in Will's hands.
Like, that just terrifies me.
I'll give it my all.
Especially since
someone's going home.
Moment of truth.
Moment of truth.
- Yes!
- Yes!
- Yes!
- Come on! Yes!
- Yeah.
- Richard and Flynn,
I don't think you could've asked
for a better hit
than Will gave you.
- Will did magically.
- Go on.
No, seriously, go on.
In the end, you do
have this crater now
where the lava colors are
still present in the middle.
But I am wondering, your
minifigures are still there.
So if the intent was
that the alien
was going to rid the planet
of the minifigures,
that alien still has a problem.
Mark and Boone, you're up.
Are you excited
about the personal nod
of the unicorn to your daughter?
Absolutely,
but I think she'll be sad
that we had to blow it up.
This is Jordi
and Tyler Brickford.
They're playing
a space-themed video game.
I love it.
It's just so different.
The way you've crafted
the spaceship
and the robot themselves
are really well articulated.
And then the fact that
you've actually broken it up
and polished all of these
little details,
I think it's quite clever.
Yippie-ki-yay, Lego Masters.
- Wow.
- Wow!
Time to go play outside.
The fact that we got to see
that robot explode
at the same time
was very clever.
That it wasn't just knocked off,
it was actually obliterated.
I think that was a smart move.
- Great job, you guys.
- Thank you.
Jessie and Kara, you're up.
Tell us what is going on.
What's the story here?
An astronaut left the
keys out to the space craft,
so an alien had found the key.
It decided to attack.
So within moments
it's going to fully explode.
Please bring your build forward.
This is always the scary part.
- Yeah.
- Yes.
I feel nervous for them.
You got it, you got it.
You can do it.
Okay, okay.
Carrying these bricks
makes me feel anxious
trying to get the build
from point A to point B.
No!
It's gonna explode.
Let's hope nobody notices.
- Okay.
- That was so nerve-wracking.
I just...
hate to disappoint Jessie.
And I am just hoping that its final
flight, it will be something pretty.
- Marvelous.
- You had such a strong start.
You were coming together as a team
compared to the last challenge.
You already had a nice
little minifigure story.
Then it just seems like
it all kind of started
to fall apart.
And now I feel like
the explosion has happened
before the bat
even comes into play.
- Abolished.
- He hit it, right?
That explosion could
have been more spectacular.
- Yes.
- What's left here should be deliberate.
Make sure that if you're going
to have something left on here
that it's further
telling the story
or has a reason for keeping it.
- Thank you.
- Thank you.
At this point, I feel like our
heads are on the chopping block.
Aaron and Christian, you're up.
- All righty.
- You got this.
- You got this. - So you guys have
the Golden Brick in your possession.
- Yes.
- Yes, sir.
But you elected
not to activate it
- in this challenge.
- That's correct.
And that means that
if this doesn't go well
and you end up
in the bottom two,
you could lose it
and be eliminated.
I think we've made
a calculated risk.
We have the big bang.
This is a new
human space station
that is currently under
construction on the crescent.
This little cargo carrying vehicle
has spiraled out of control,
and that's not going to
go very well for anybody.
I'm still trying to understand
why you've chosen to have
so much negative space
when the challenge is all about
making a big explosion.
This lattice structure, we think,
is going to look really impressive
when it all falls apart.
- Here we go.
- The Golden Brick is weighing
heavy in our pockets
at this point.
We've taken a risk.
All we can hope is that
that risk doesn't sink us.
Here we go.
3, 2, 1.
Whoa!
Let's hit that button.
Here we go.
3, 2, 1.
- Whoa!
- Wow! Whoo!
Yeah! That is gorgeous.
- Ooh.
- Whoo!
- That blue and yellow.
- I know.
- Dude!
- The hexagons look great.
- They look fantastic.
- So that one didn't blow up.
Now that-- that container
did not break.
Whoa, man!
So, guys, you seem to love it.
- Yeah.
- I feel like there's a lot of, like,
persuading going on.
Just grabbing
a few of the pieces,
I mean, this is quite a lot
of what I was talking about,
- these large sections that
just stay together. - Right.
So if anything, I think the explosion
was a little bit of letdown.
That empty space didn't
really work in your favor.
So not using the Golden Brick
does leave you
a little bit exposed.
This was not quite
what we had hoped.
- Right. - And I feel a little
bit of a knot in my stomach.
This might mean
we're in the bottom two.
We might lose our Golden Brick.
Now it's finally time
for the moment of truth.
Here they come.
Slow walk. Very dramatic.
Now before you tell us
who's going home,
it's time to pick
your favorite one.
There were some truly
amazing builds today.
But the winners
of this challenge are...
- Tyler and Amy.
- Yes!
Well done.
It feels so good.
We put so much hard work
into our build.
It's fantastic
to see it pay off.
Now it's the time
that's a little less fun.
One team has to go home.
Unfortunately, two teams this
week struggled quite a bit.
The first of those teams
was Sam and Jessica.
The second team...
was Kara and Jessie.
Sam and Jessica,
you did not come together
in order to deliver
a full and polished story
and the details
that we needed to see.
Kara and Jessie, unfortunately
it wasn't the right build
for a challenge that's all about
a spectacular explosion.
- Yes.
- Yeah.
We've got to send one team
crashing back to Earth.
Sadly.
Brick Masters,
who's it going to be?
It's Kara and Jessie.
I'm sorry.
It's okay.
Please,
if you ever come to Denmark,
I would love to get on the
carpet, take off my shoes,
and just have fun with you.
Thank you so much for being
a part of "Lego Masters."
Please turn in your minifigs
and say good-bye.
- Okay.
- Aloha.
This experience has been
absolutely amazing,
a dream come true.
To get to play
with bricks all day
with my dearest friend,
it's been an unimaginable
experience.
- Next week...
- Why does he have a power tool?
...half an object...
Your job is to build
the other half.
...and a whole lot
of creativity.
Be honest.
Who's gonna blow it?
♪ We're building ♪
♪ With bricks now ♪
- Okay.
- I'm terrible.
Step away from your tables.
- Big trouble. - I need to see
a little more heart out of you.
- I want to see some fight.
- Now I'm getting mad.
- Wow.
I'm your host Will Arnett,
and welcome to "Lego Masters."
A new kind of competition
pushing the limits
of imagination.
The best Lego builders
in America
competing for $100,000
and the Lego Masters title.
Say hello to our Brick Masters
Jamie and Amy.
We are here in front
of Lego legends.
The team that wins
today's challenge wins this.
The Golden Brick
gives you immunity.
Our first challenge,
your own dream theme park.
The bumper cars, how are
we gonna make them move?
There's no way
we're gonna make them move.
The worst thing we can do is press
on with an idea that isn't working.
The winner of the Golden Brick,
Aaron and Christian.
- What?
- Yes! Yes!
At this stage,
you need your rides to work.
The bottom two teams.
Nestor and Manny
and Sam and Jessica.
We're gonna let this one slide.
Nobody is going home today.
Tonight...
- ...with special
guest Mayim Bialik.
You will be creating
space builds
that we're going to destroy
in amazing ways.
Work! You don't need to look at
me while you're talking to me.
- It's just so much pressure.
- Like, I feel like
you don't understand Lego.
This week,
the last place build is going home.
Yippie-ki-yay, Lego Masters.
All right, here we go. Rolling.
Rolling, everyone. Rolling.
Welcome back
to Lego Smash, everybody.
Is that a voice that you do?
It's a voice
I feel like I could do.
All right, here we go.
Here we go.
What's it gonna be?
- Dude, space. Space.
- Yeah.
This is the first challenge
where they're sending someone home,
and we definitely need
to bring our A game.
We need to work together.
We need to communicate.
We need to work fast.
And we definitely need to win.
Welcome back to "Lego Masters," the greatest
Lego-building competition in the world.
Last week, Team Aaron and Christian
won the coveted Golden Brick.
And now with that magical piece
in their possession,
they're safe from elimination,
but only if they choose to use it.
- Nice to have it in your back pocket.
- I agree.
We want to avoid using this
as long as we possibly can.
And hopefully produce a build
that does not need it.
At the end of this challenge, the team
with the last place build is going home.
Let's talk about
what you're going to build.
Look around. I don't think you
need to be a rocket scientist
to figure out the theme.
Space.
Space.
Wrong.
Wow.
Wait a second, wait a second.
You said space.
Yeah, sorry, you were right.
You were right. My bad.
All right, it's all good.
It's all good.
Because this week,
each team will tell a space-themed story,
and at the end of that story,
we're gonna smash it into pieces.
- Yeah!
- Awesome.
It doesn't get much better
than that.
You don't smash Lego.
Period.
Well, in this case, you do.
He has attachment issues.
All right, you're gonna be judged
on your creation and how it looks
when it shatters and splatters, so make
sure you factor that into your design.
I am joined once again
by our Brick Masters,
Lego lead designers
Jamie and Amy.
Brick Masters, what should they
keep in mind for a build like this?
This challenge is really an
opportunity to tell an amazing story
around the moment of the smash.
And it is really important
that the build not only looks great,
but smashes in the most
spectacular way.
How are we going to destroy
your builds?
That's a really good question
that I've just asked myself.
This seems like the time
in a competition show
where we would wow people
with a guest star, right?
- But we're not gonna do that.
- Aww.
Actually, yes,
we are gonna do that.
Yes!
Mayim Bialik is here.
My God.
That is so awesome.
I have loved her
since "Beaches."
I used to watch "Blossom"
growing up.
- I am so excited.
- Not "Big Bang Theory," "Beaches."
- Totally "Beaches."
- Thank you for coming and joining us here.
No problem.
I wanted you to come by 'cause
I need you to smash something.
Will, I'm an actor
with a PhD in neuroscience.
Same.
You really just brought me here 'cause
you want me to smash some Lego stuff?
Yeah.
Awesome.
Consider it done.
All right.
We've got three incredible ways
to smash your creations.
First we're gonna bust them
with a space ball bat.
Actually, that was
a little hard to resist,
so I already kind of did that.
But we can just watch it
in super slo-mo
hi-def instant replay,
how about that?
Next we're gonna use explosives
to make a big bang.
Shut up!
Woohoo! Yes!
And last, but not least,
we're going to gravity drop them
from high above
our studio stratosphere.
And by that,
she means the balcony.
Exactly.
All right, well, we'll get you up
there with some slick, you know,
quick reality show editing.
- Wow, wow, wow.
- Wow.
- Ready?
- Are you ready?
No.
- Bye, bye.
- No, no.
No!
Yeah!
It was a combination
of heartbreaking and awesome.
- It was awesome by Blossom.
- Awesome Blossom.
When we say go,
reach for a star,
crack it open, and you'll find
your method of destruction inside.
- That's cool.
- You get 11 hours to complete this build.
Your mission starts...
now.
Get your brick on.
- Big bang! Big bang.
- Big bang.
Gravity drop!
Space ball bat!
Space ball bat! Space ball bat!
Space ball bat!
All right, let's open that up.
Let it be the big bang.
- Please let it be big bang.
- Let it be the big bang.
- We got big bang! Yeah!
- Big bang! Yeah!
Yeah!
Mayim, have you ever been this
excited about anything in your life?
- No.
- I haven't.
It's so great.
You have, like, an alien
and an astronaut
that are both,
like, clinging to each other.
And they're like, "Aah!"
When creating a Lego model,
the initial planning is some of the
most critical part of the build.
We're gonna do alien intestines.
The teams may not be able
to fully control the explosion,
but they can definitely have an influence
over the story that they're telling.
But since it has to break apart,
what if it was like a volcano?
And that's where their
creativity comes into play.
So we have two bright colors, but the
one's not showing up until it explodes.
Yeah, that's a good idea.
Last challenge we had
miscommunication and anger.
And we do not want to be
in the bottom two again.
This is a chance for
you guys to kind of reset.
- Yes.
- A new challenge.
How do you feel about
the challenge this week?
I feel good because I am
obsessed with space.
Yeah, you know, I find that all my
exes, they must love space.
They were always asking
for space.
- I'm Jessica.
- I'm Sam.
We left our corporate jobs to pursue
our dreams of becoming artists.
We met through
the Lego community,
and we have never built
together before.
If we go in there
with a positive attitude,
we're gonna crush
the competition.
Something cute,
but still-- but still spacey.
We are going to create space cats
that are attacking planet Earth.
And they come across
this dog park.
I've done stuff like this before.
I think this will work.
Someone's running.
So, thank you for joining me
here, by the way.
There's no one I'd rather spend
11 hours with than you.
- It's a lot of time.
- Yeah. Well, they gotta build.
So, I just spend my time
doing this kind of stuff.
- Are they rolling?
- Yeah, yeah, yeah. We're rolling.
- We're rolling?
- Yeah, we're rolling.
- I didn't realize.
- We're always rolling.
- I'm sorry. I didn't realize.
- This is reality television.
That's a camera, that's a
camera, that's a camera.
So, some people are still planning
while others are already collecting.
Yeah, they sketch it out.
You see these guys, they plan it out.
- They argue over stuff.
- Have there been any fights yet?
No fights, but there have been
a few disagreements.
- Okay.
- And then when you go and you say like,
"Hey, are you guys getting
along?" They're like, "We are."
- Two kids sitting on a couch...
- Yeah.
- ...playing a video game,
and then do, like, a TV. - Yeah.
So Mark and I have the big bang,
and we are creating a video game
battle that sort of comes to life.
Then the explosion is game over.
- Yeah.
- How cool.
What's the sort of inspiration
for this?
It was my daughter,
my eight-year-old in my brain,
it inspired me to think what if
the girl's spaceship is a unicorn?
- That's cool.
- Yeah.
Incorporating my daughter
and her ideas
and the things that she loves,
it makes me want to do twice as awesome
on this build
as I could otherwise.
First thing that comes to my mind
is, like, a space station.
We got the big bang. And we're going to
build a crescent-shaped space station.
One of the loaders has lost control and is
now spiraling towards the space station.
Pah! It's gonna be great.
Cool. It'll be a really--
really different shape, I think.
Aaron, is that gonna be
like a space Ferris Wheel or...?
You know,
it's funny you say that.
We are creating a big purple
monster that eats planets...
...named Legor.
Tell me how competitive are
you guys with the other teams?
I mean, there's no way that you
take two dudes from the streets
and tell us that we can't beat
people in the Lego competition.
Do you know how much we would
get clowned in the hood?
Nah, it's not going down
like that, Will.
- Nuh-no, unh.
- Not at all.
Kara, how are you feeling?
We, um, we are communicating.
Right. You're communicating well.
Well, you keep talking for her.
- Yes.
- Okay. Jess-- Jess.
- Hi.
- Still laughing through that tight smile.
- She's the puppet master.
- Blink twice if you're safe.
- Yes.
- Okay.
Aaron, Aaron, Aaron, Aaron.
Wait, you got my minifig in there.
- Yeah, yeah. That's you. Is that you?
- Okay. That is me, yeah.
- I see the resemblance.
- Let's put him on your bicep. Let's do it.
- My gosh.
- I'm doing push-ups...
- Push-ups on the bicep.
- ...on the bicep.
There it is. And now ma--
- Back to building. Stop.
- It's a lot, right?
- That's enough of this.
- What do you mean I have to talk to HR?
Now?
So which are you going
to work on?
- The dog park.
- Okay. Draw the whole park.
That I cannot do at this moment.
- Why?
- I've been seeing it in my mind,
and I'm just kind of doing it.
Okay.
- Coming up...
- It's time for your build
to meet...
- the bat...
- Here it goes.
- ...man.
- No!
- We having a great time.
- We bros,
we work together,
we can get anything done, man.
This week we have 11 hours for the Space
Smash Challenge and we got gravity drop.
And we are building a planet that
has a core that's ready to explode.
The plan is
to have this exposed,
but to still keep
the cylinder shape.
So that way when it smashes,
there's no support over here.
So it's gonna break
a lot easier.
- Hey, what's up? I'm Corey.
- And I'm Travis.
Being five years older,
my dad always told me
that I had to protect
my brother.
When I was six,
I was diagnosed with leukemia.
And being practically bedridden,
I wasn't able to go outside
like my other friends was doing.
I felt like I failed him.
And it's hard thinking
about it now being, you know,
we're older and he's healthy.
But at that time, it was tough.
Having my brother coming over to the
hospital to play Lego with me was a treat.
We started building
whatever we could imagine.
We've been building Lego
for about 20 years,
and we're gonna do this
competition and we're gonna win.
And we're excited.
So when it falls, all the elements
inside the core is leaking out.
- Leaking out, yeah. - And that's
what's causing everything to explode.
- Hey, guys.
- Hey, overachievers.
- Hey.
- I can't wait to see
what it's gonna be 'cause I
think that how y'all work, right?
You can't tell what it is
until the very end.
An important part of any challenge or
competition is the element of surprise.
We have a strong plan,
but we want to be extra hush-hush.
Yeah.
A lot of what I'm showing Amy
is how to design these tentacles
using SNOT pieces.
Lego Learn about
Tyler and Amy's SNOT.
I know what you're thinking.
Is this another PSA about flu season?
It'SNOT.
Lego SNOT stands
for Studs Not On Top,
which means you're building
with your pieces
facing upside down
or to the side.
It helps you achieve a smoother,
more realistic build,
and that's nothing to sneeze at.
You're fired.
I'm kidding.
I got to get more, Jessie.
- How tall is it?
- 15 and a half.
So we're going to
make Volcopolis,
a city that is built
on top of a volcano.
It has a monster
living underneath,
which is eventually going to
explode the whole volcano.
We can do this.
Look how fast this is going up.
I am an anxious tornado
and Richard is always cool.
Which is great, because
it super balances me out
and it works really well for us.
I feel like this is
building to our strengths.
Well, I think I could
get it done faster.
We could have had it done
already if you just start.
Um, like,
is that all you want done?
That's your dog park? Are you gonna
start building on top of there?
Yes.
Have you been seeing what's
going on with Sam and Jessica?
- Yeah. - It just seems like they
can't agree on anything right now.
- They haven't really built anything.
- No.
So early to already
be having that conflict.
We've seen it cost them before.
Yes, I get it.
Fence all around. Done.
- Okay. - You drew it. You don't
need to write it five times.
Okay. Again, let's be
a little kinder, okay?
- Hey, guys. Nestor and Manny.
- How's it going?
- Hi, how are you doing?
- How are you guys? Good to see you guys.
- Sorry to interrupt.
- That's fine.
My dad and I
are building this planet moon
and this alien lives in it.
I want to create something
that when the space ball bat
hits it,
it won't break.
- Yeah. - You know, I got a bad
elbow, so that's gonna hurt,
- just gonna be honest with you.
- No, no.
I'm gonna create
some alien intestines,
so hopefully, you know, the whole
sphere that's holding it will break.
- Everything else would just drop.
- That's pretty cool.
- So you guys would just pick up on
what's gonna drop. - That's cool.
- You had me at alien intestines.
- Right?
Onward and upward.
So Amie and I got
the gravity drop,
and we are making a spacecano...
- Called Planet...
- Volcalia.
So we're actually kind of
doing the same thing
that I do a lot
for 3-D printing.
You use kind of like
a in-fill structure
kind of like a honeycomb, so it still
has structure support for this volcano.
- Feels good. - But it doesn't
weigh as much or take up as many bricks.
And then we're just gonna
fill it with sparkles.
- Hey, Kara and Jessie.
- Hi.
What is your story
that's out of this world?
It is a spaceship that
is being attacked by an alien.
So once the bat hits
our creation,
we want to look like
the alien is exploding
and his insides are coming out.
Just think about one complete
story that only gets better...
- Yes.
- ...when it's destroyed.
Okay.
- Hey, Aaron.
- Yeah?
You might need to use that
Golden Brick for this challenge.
Call me again
when you have a Golden Brick.
- I'm gonna have your Golden Brick.
- Yeah.
We will by the end of this one.
Okay, okay.
Having the Golden immunity Brick
definitely puts us under the microscope.
Everyone wants to swoop in
and get it from us.
Six hours left on the clock, guys.
Six hours.
- Slow and steady, but fast.
But also really fast. - Slow and steady.
We got it, we got it, we got
it, we got it, we got it.
I look around the room
and there's a lot built.
I think if we just focus on the
task, we can definitely do it.
Like, right now,
you're pushing down a sidewalk
where you don't know where
anything going around it is.
Um...
If you don't have a plan
for where it goes, you make it--
So you feel more comfortable
if you did this portion?
I can't do this.
Could you do the-- Can you sculpt a cat?
I'm not counting
your sculpting abilities.
You know,
you're just really stressed out.
- I am super stressed out.
- I know you're stressed out.
- I sympathize with that 100%.
- Work. Draw while you're talking to me.
You don't need to look at me
while you're talking to me.
You need to calm down.
I don't feel like you're being part of
the team. You're not doing anything,
Like, I feel like you don't
understand Lego.
You need to calm down.
We've been having
some team dynamic issues
building our space cat
attacking a dog park.
We just have to kind of
figure out how to communicate
and do the best
that we can possibly do.
I don't feel like you're being part of
the team. You're not doing anything.
Like, I feel like you don't
understand Lego.
- What's going on? - I'm really trying to
just map it out the best that I can do.
Um, and I hope that we can
come together as a team
and make something
that's awesome.
Yeah, of course you do.
And, look, it's-- I get it.
You guys each want to do
is help each other
'cause you guys are on
the same team, right?
So at the end of the day,
you have to have each other's backs.
Yes. So I'm just asking you to
just be a little more patient.
Have a little more trust
and faith in me.
I would love that more than
anything in the whole world.
- That's awesome. That's awe--
- Great.
I trust-- I trusted her.
She can make it beautiful.
- Perfect. Positive.
- Yes, I trust that you can do that.
- Good. Yeah, there we go.
- There we go. That's where we start.
I do this all the time. I do this at home.
I do this with my kid.
I hit this imaginary restart
button.
- I go... bang.
- Done. Restart.
So how about we restart
right now?
- I agree. Yeah. Let's just-- There we go.
- Hug?
Yeah, there we go. Come on.
You guys are both great builders.
- Aww.
- You got it, buddy.
Time was completely wasted. So we're trying
to work on two separate parts of the build
so we can hopefully
finish it in time.
We definitely don't want to be
up for elimination this week.
We can do it.
No!
Man.
Whoa!
Hey, you still can use
that Golden Brick.
Don't remind them.
We're gonna build a crescent-shaped
space station that's under construction.
And I'm running into a really
tough engineering problem.
We're building a build
that's designed to break,
but it's breaking too much.
- Okay.
- Everything going okay over there?
I think I have to have a
little more stability in there.
- It's a bit too finicky.
- Whoa.
I'd be panicking right now,
but maybe, you know,
you work well with your back
up against the ropes, right?
I do my best, yeah.
Most other teams
are building something
that's really round and compact
and full of things.
Our vision is to have a lot
of dispirit explosions
that make for a more dynamic
final product.
- And I saved my one by fours.
- Yeah?
- Aaron and Christian, how are you doing?
- Hey, Christian and Aaron.
- Fantastic. - I have to say
looking at this, I am curious to see
how is that going to actually
disintegrate when the pieces are so large?
I know we're taking a little
bit of a risk with this design,
but I think we can
prove him wrong.
- I think it will work, you know?
- I agree, I agree.
You have some really nice
geometry there,
- but it's also using Technic...
- Right.
...which is one of our
strongest methods of building.
- I know, I know.
- Our Brick Masters can be pretty brutal.
- They seem so nice.
- They do, right?
- Well, they're monsters.
- Thank you for the feedback.
- Well, best of luck to you guys.
- Thank you, guys.
- Okay, good luck.
- Thank you both.
I thought it might help
the teams
if you offered some words
of encouragement.
- Um, yeah. I guess maybe--
- Yeah, okay, great.
So here, take this megaphone.
And then this is, like,
a long list of sweet things
that I just wrote down,
and that should do the trick.
"Your only limitation
is your imagination."
That's not bad.
"Brick-lieve it
and you can build-chieve it."
A little clunkier, sure.
"If you build it,
they will co--," okay.
That's not inspirational. That's, like,
literally a quote from "Field of Dreams."
I was pretty sure
I made that one up. Okay.
We're seeing quite a change
in direction here.
- Are you still on a volcano?
- Yes.
We had another level
on top of this,
and we just completely
removed that level.
And that's what I'm a little bit concerned
when I'm seeing the current direction
is you have quite a lot of
area that it would be very hard
for even a professional
baseball player
to be hitting below
a certain point.
I just want to make sure that,
you know, when Will comes in,
this is gonna be
an awesome moment.
- Great. Thank you so much.
- Got it.
Good luck.
Well, there was a lot there.
- Yeah.
- What's wrong, Flynn?
I'm feeling really
emotional right now.
Just all the noise,
all the pressure,
all of the advice, the clock--
it's all just weighing on me.
If I can't get
my stuff together,
we're going to go home,
and that feels terrible.
Can you tell me what it is?
- It's just--
- Look at me.
I don't want to let you down.
What? No, you haven't.
Not at all. No.
No, you haven't.
We made all these
decisions together.
We're a team
and we need each other.
Neither one of us
can do this alone.
We just worked so hard
to get here and I don't--
- You're not. No. - I don't want
to be the reason that we go home.
Not at all. I feel so grateful
to be doing this with you.
Don't even worry about that.
- Ooh!
- Whoa!
Whoa! Look at the tongue
on that thing.
- Holy cow.
- My God.
Since we have the gravity drop
as our method of destruction,
we really want to take that
into account in our building.
So our first section that's going
to hit the floor is our alien.
Then we're going to have a bomb
that will hopefully fall
into the mouth of the alien.
And then we're going to have
our hero destroying the monster.
We still want to beat you,
but you're doing great.
Everybody's working towards making
something really incredible...
to smash.
But, Mayim, you've got to go.
Yes, thank you
so much for having me.
This was really terrific.
Thank you.
No, I want you to know.
Man.
Here I go again.
Here I--
Here come the waterworks again.
Are you sure you want to leave now?
You're going to miss
all the destruction
I know. You think
maybe as I'm leaving,
I could smash someone's build
when they're not looking?
Of course not. No.
You totally could.
You totally could if you wanted to.
I was just kidding.
That's a terrible thing to do.
Yeah, I know.
I was kidding, too.
- I was-- come on.
- Bye.
Good-bye.
Here we go.
Time is crucial.
So, Brick Masters Amy and Jamie,
who has stuck out so far
for you in this challenge?
Amy and Tyler have been
keeping their cards
a little bit close
to their chest.
Yeah, they've been
very secretive.
But it really
screams out "space"
and they've got
some great scale there.
The canister will drop
into the alien's mouth
- and explode.
- I'm liking it.
What do you think about
Sam and Jessica
and how they've progressed?
Once they get
the head on that cat,
then I think they'll
really have something.
It's starting to come together,
but they really wasted
a lot of time
because they just
weren't working together.
T-minus one hour!
Ho, ho!
T-minus one hour.
When I get up to here,
we'll turn it.
- All right.
- We need to lay this down
so that the point of impact
is more concentrated.
Put the-- hand on the bottom.
Hand on the bottom.
Can I help?
Do you want me to hold it?
- Do you have a steady hand?
- Yeah, I do.
Okay.
I hope we don't realize
that it's too fragile
when we turn it over.
On the count of three.
We're going to go that way.
I am going to turn to the camera
and say something
super foreboding
so that we can go
to a commercial.
- You ready?
- Yes.
Kara and Jess
are barely hanging on,
so come on back...
...to "Lego Masters."
Time is ticking.
Everybody seems
to be running around
trying to make those
last minute adjustments.
Jessie and Kara, I got to say,
when I went over
to speak with them,
it did feel a little flimsy.
I've got it. I've got it.
I've got it.
It's detached over here,
just so you know.
We've got to make
a decision quickly.
If they can't manage
to put it all together,
they might be in the bottom two,
and someone's going
home this week.
This is a disaster.
The spaceship is completely
destroyed before it's destroyed.
The worst thing we can do
is panic right now
That's the absolute
worst thing we can do.
T-minus one minute
to complete your build.
- Whoo!
- Go grab more plates.
Our spaceship
got to be done, man.
It's done.
Don't you start adding stress.
This is it!
Five, four, three, two, one!
Time's up! Bricks down!
Look how awesome that looks,
all the stuff coming out of it.
Tyler and Amy
built a bunch of small things.
It looked like they had nothing.
And then in the last hour,
they put it together,
and it's this giant,
amazing thing
that nobody saw coming.
Okay, teams,
before our Brick Masters
take a look at your builds,
Aaron and Christian,
would you like to use
the Golden Brick
to protect you
from elimination today?
Or do you think
your build is good enough
and you'll hold onto it
for next time?
I agree.
They are
not going to use the Golden Brick.
All right, let's go
break some stuff!
For the record,
I do not approve of damaging Lego.
- He's wearing a batsuit.
- My God.
- It's a nice look.
- Ready to be a plumber.
- Looks good on you.
- Wow.
- Yeah.
- Thank you.
Now it's time to take a look
at your space creations
and smash them into pieces!
Tyler and Amy, you're up first.
We got the gravity drop.
We have our hero
and the monstrous villain
from the depths of space.
Our hero has got
a trick up his sleeve--
this highly explosive canister
that will bring him
ultimate victory.
This is epic.
It commands a presence.
So, well done for accomplishing
something at that scale.
What I'm impressed with the most
is your building
techniques look easy,
but they're actually
deceptively hard.
When you're making all of these
different curve shapes coming up
and keeping them stable,
that's really difficult.
- You did a great job with it.
- Thank you.
Now it's time to destroy
your beautiful creation.
I'll see you guys up there.
So our plan all
along was to have the bomb
drop into the monster's mouth,
and we're just hoping
that that works.
This is heavier than I thought.
My gosh.
My gosh.
- Okay.
- No, no.
3, 2, 1!
Yeah!
- Boy.
- Yeah, he just--
I think it was brilliant
that the charge
actually went down
inside the alien.
Probably what
I'm impressed with the most
is how much it's destroyed
considering how solid it looked.
Really, really impressive build,
and impressive destruction.
- Thank you.
- Great job.
Thank you, Tyler and Amy.
Going into this build,
we knew the we were
going to have to destroy it.
So there is a certain amount
of satisfaction and pleasure
in seeing it actually explode
the way you've been
imagining it.
Sam and Jessica, you're up.
This is the first
elimination challenge,
and we do not want to be
in the bottom two again.
What's the story here?
Intergalactic space cats
are invading planet Earth
and they have stumbled
across a dog park.
And Will is going to be
the hero of the universe
and use the space bat
to save the planet
and knock the cat
out of this world.
I know you guys were having a little
bit of trouble working together,
so it's ironic that your theme
is cats and dogs.
He was definitely the cat.
Meow.
When a story where you want to
have the cat knocked off,
you want to leave something
behind that we care about.
And unfortunately
when I see the tan building,
it just doesn't
have enough detail
to make me want it
to actually survive.
I kind of want
the whole thing to go off.
It's really clear that you guys
struggled with time here.
When you look at
some of the other builds,
yours is on
a much smaller scale.
All right, everyone.
Safety goggles on.
Sam, Jessica...
Here it goes, here to goes.
- Wow.
- And the building stayed, too.
That felt really good.
Whoo!
Your building is here
and your cat is gone,
but it feels a bit disjointed.
Even though you came
together as a team,
it's clearly two models.
I think you struggled
a little bit today.
But I did okay?
- You did great.
- Yeah, thank you.
Just a-- I'm just, you know,
worried that
they're judging me, too.
- Wow.
- Thank you, Sam and Jessica.
- Thank you.
- Yeah!
That sucks we got bad reviews.
Jermaine and Mel, you're up.
We got the big bang.
This is Legor, ha ha ha!
Terrifying devourer of planets.
Okay, guys,
we got a fire in the hole.
Whoa-ho!
- Yes.
- I think the scale of him
made for a really
epic explosion,
but I would have loved to see
some little planets inside him.
But overall it was great.
- Thanks a lot.
- Amie and Krystle.
- This is our planet...
- Volcalia!
Here we go.
Whoa!
Jamie, when that landed, I thought
it was going to go through the floor.
As a volcano, though,
I was kind of hoping
it has something
to come up from the middle.
Manny and Nestor, you're up.
We created this moon
that has this alien inside.
It's time for you build
to meet the bat...
...man.
Wow, that felt good!
- Whoa!
- Wow.
I am so happy to see that your
intestines are actually intact.
Kudos to you knowing how to
build those in the right way.
Corey and Travis, you're up.
Scientists
are trying frantically
to try to stabilize the planet.
But as you can see,
the core is leaking
all over the place.
- You guys ready?
- No.
I think you guys were clever
to have the build open
so that you saw that molten core
as it smashed to the ground.
Overall, it was great.
Richard and Flynn, you're up.
Humans have found
a rocky, desolate planet.
And what they actually discover
is it's not just a mountain.
It's a volcano.
The alien inside
is going to sacrifice itself
and blow up the mountain
to rid its planet of humans.
- Quite a story.
- It is.
I am curious to see
how it actually explodes
because you've given quite
a large base on the bottom.
The fate of how
our model explodes
is literally in Will's hands.
Like, that just terrifies me.
I'll give it my all.
Especially since
someone's going home.
Moment of truth.
Moment of truth.
- Yes!
- Yes!
- Yes!
- Come on! Yes!
- Yeah.
- Richard and Flynn,
I don't think you could've asked
for a better hit
than Will gave you.
- Will did magically.
- Go on.
No, seriously, go on.
In the end, you do
have this crater now
where the lava colors are
still present in the middle.
But I am wondering, your
minifigures are still there.
So if the intent was
that the alien
was going to rid the planet
of the minifigures,
that alien still has a problem.
Mark and Boone, you're up.
Are you excited
about the personal nod
of the unicorn to your daughter?
Absolutely,
but I think she'll be sad
that we had to blow it up.
This is Jordi
and Tyler Brickford.
They're playing
a space-themed video game.
I love it.
It's just so different.
The way you've crafted
the spaceship
and the robot themselves
are really well articulated.
And then the fact that
you've actually broken it up
and polished all of these
little details,
I think it's quite clever.
Yippie-ki-yay, Lego Masters.
- Wow.
- Wow!
Time to go play outside.
The fact that we got to see
that robot explode
at the same time
was very clever.
That it wasn't just knocked off,
it was actually obliterated.
I think that was a smart move.
- Great job, you guys.
- Thank you.
Jessie and Kara, you're up.
Tell us what is going on.
What's the story here?
An astronaut left the
keys out to the space craft,
so an alien had found the key.
It decided to attack.
So within moments
it's going to fully explode.
Please bring your build forward.
This is always the scary part.
- Yeah.
- Yes.
I feel nervous for them.
You got it, you got it.
You can do it.
Okay, okay.
Carrying these bricks
makes me feel anxious
trying to get the build
from point A to point B.
No!
It's gonna explode.
Let's hope nobody notices.
- Okay.
- That was so nerve-wracking.
I just...
hate to disappoint Jessie.
And I am just hoping that its final
flight, it will be something pretty.
- Marvelous.
- You had such a strong start.
You were coming together as a team
compared to the last challenge.
You already had a nice
little minifigure story.
Then it just seems like
it all kind of started
to fall apart.
And now I feel like
the explosion has happened
before the bat
even comes into play.
- Abolished.
- He hit it, right?
That explosion could
have been more spectacular.
- Yes.
- What's left here should be deliberate.
Make sure that if you're going
to have something left on here
that it's further
telling the story
or has a reason for keeping it.
- Thank you.
- Thank you.
At this point, I feel like our
heads are on the chopping block.
Aaron and Christian, you're up.
- All righty.
- You got this.
- You got this. - So you guys have
the Golden Brick in your possession.
- Yes.
- Yes, sir.
But you elected
not to activate it
- in this challenge.
- That's correct.
And that means that
if this doesn't go well
and you end up
in the bottom two,
you could lose it
and be eliminated.
I think we've made
a calculated risk.
We have the big bang.
This is a new
human space station
that is currently under
construction on the crescent.
This little cargo carrying vehicle
has spiraled out of control,
and that's not going to
go very well for anybody.
I'm still trying to understand
why you've chosen to have
so much negative space
when the challenge is all about
making a big explosion.
This lattice structure, we think,
is going to look really impressive
when it all falls apart.
- Here we go.
- The Golden Brick is weighing
heavy in our pockets
at this point.
We've taken a risk.
All we can hope is that
that risk doesn't sink us.
Here we go.
3, 2, 1.
Whoa!
Let's hit that button.
Here we go.
3, 2, 1.
- Whoa!
- Wow! Whoo!
Yeah! That is gorgeous.
- Ooh.
- Whoo!
- That blue and yellow.
- I know.
- Dude!
- The hexagons look great.
- They look fantastic.
- So that one didn't blow up.
Now that-- that container
did not break.
Whoa, man!
So, guys, you seem to love it.
- Yeah.
- I feel like there's a lot of, like,
persuading going on.
Just grabbing
a few of the pieces,
I mean, this is quite a lot
of what I was talking about,
- these large sections that
just stay together. - Right.
So if anything, I think the explosion
was a little bit of letdown.
That empty space didn't
really work in your favor.
So not using the Golden Brick
does leave you
a little bit exposed.
This was not quite
what we had hoped.
- Right. - And I feel a little
bit of a knot in my stomach.
This might mean
we're in the bottom two.
We might lose our Golden Brick.
Now it's finally time
for the moment of truth.
Here they come.
Slow walk. Very dramatic.
Now before you tell us
who's going home,
it's time to pick
your favorite one.
There were some truly
amazing builds today.
But the winners
of this challenge are...
- Tyler and Amy.
- Yes!
Well done.
It feels so good.
We put so much hard work
into our build.
It's fantastic
to see it pay off.
Now it's the time
that's a little less fun.
One team has to go home.
Unfortunately, two teams this
week struggled quite a bit.
The first of those teams
was Sam and Jessica.
The second team...
was Kara and Jessie.
Sam and Jessica,
you did not come together
in order to deliver
a full and polished story
and the details
that we needed to see.
Kara and Jessie, unfortunately
it wasn't the right build
for a challenge that's all about
a spectacular explosion.
- Yes.
- Yeah.
We've got to send one team
crashing back to Earth.
Sadly.
Brick Masters,
who's it going to be?
It's Kara and Jessie.
I'm sorry.
It's okay.
Please,
if you ever come to Denmark,
I would love to get on the
carpet, take off my shoes,
and just have fun with you.
Thank you so much for being
a part of "Lego Masters."
Please turn in your minifigs
and say good-bye.
- Okay.
- Aloha.
This experience has been
absolutely amazing,
a dream come true.
To get to play
with bricks all day
with my dearest friend,
it's been an unimaginable
experience.
- Next week...
- Why does he have a power tool?
...half an object...
Your job is to build
the other half.
...and a whole lot
of creativity.
Be honest.
Who's gonna blow it?
♪ We're building ♪
♪ With bricks now ♪
- Okay.
- I'm terrible.
Step away from your tables.
- Big trouble. - I need to see
a little more heart out of you.
- I want to see some fight.
- Now I'm getting mad.
