HAMISH BLAKE: The scene is set, as the Aussies take on the world.

Let battle commence in three, two, one.

(CHEERING)

WOMAN: We want to do Australia proud.

They've done it! Unbelievable sporting moment!

Stay on the high!

(PEOPLE EXCLAIM) Unbelievable!

BRICKMAN: That's what the show is about.

It's awesome. Well done.

Powered by the humble two-by-four brick,

it's the show that's spread to 20 countries around the world,

including the USA.

WOMAN: We're gonna be Lego Masters!

Germany... MAN: Oh, cool!

China... (MEN EXCLAIM)

..the Czech Republic... (CLAPS)

..Sweden... (WOMAN SQUEALS)

..South Korea... (PEOPLE EXCLAIM)

..France... (SPEAKS FRENCH)

..New Zealand...

and others.

Now, in a world-exclusive world-first,

the global phenomenon is now a global competition Down Under.

Welcome to a global showdown!

Representing Australia are four new Aussie teams,

each here for the trophy,

ready to take on four globe-spanning teams of opponents.

WOMEN: Yee-hah!

Gear up for an incredible cultural exchange...

(PLAYS 'LA MARSEILLAISE')

(LAUGHS)

That was France to the max.

..featuring superheroes...

(PEOPLE EXCLAIM) G'day.

I'm Bat-Ham. Are you OK, Hamish?

..robots...

MAN: Fight! (BELL DINGS)

(CHEERING)

Yeah. Pretty sick, hey?

..amazing fakes...

No way. Oh! Far out. Nothing looks like Lego.

..and the fastest Lego builds you've ever seen.

Come on, Australia!

(CRASH!) PEOPLE: Oh!

We might have lost the Olympics for Channel Nine.

But at least the builds are amazing.

BRICKMAN: The most incredible models.

There's no rulebook.

It feels like we're in the world.

You found a way to bring them to life.

Nice. Nice.

Officially, welcome to Australia.

It's an honour.

I think it will be clear that we will win. (LAUGHS)

Whoo-hoo! Go, go, go, go, go!

This is Lego Masters...

WOMAN: Watch out, international people.

We're taking the cup home.

..Australia Versus The World.

Whoo!

Now let's run through fire!

(TENSE MUSIC)

(DRAMATIC MUSIC)

(BUZZER BLARES)

('ADVANCE AUSTRALIA FAIR' PLAYS) (WOMAN LAUGHS)

Hi, gang.

WOMAN: Oh!

MAN: Oh! WOMAN: Oh, my god!

This is insane.

WOMAN: No way! WOMAN: Oh, my god! (EXCLAIMS)

We've been waiting a whole year. (LAUGHS)

WOMAN: Oh!

Oh, my god. We're on Lego Masters.

Oh, my god. You're real. (LAUGHTER)

Were you surprised to see me in here? Still got the gig.

Still got the gig, baby! (LAUGHTER)

Welcome to Lego Masters

and, of course, returning to lead you all

into hopefully hoisting the trophy

is Brickman.

Welcome, Brickman. Thank you very much.

(APPLAUSE) Great to be here.

Alright, so you probably noticed that there's only four teams in here.

Usually, there's eight.

What does that mean?

This season, you guys have been hand-picked to represent Australia,

taking on four teams... Oh!

..from the rest of the world.

What?

(LAUGHS)

You are our hope, the best we've got, taking on these teams.

(LAUGHTER) Oh, my god.

Whew.

Go, Aussies!

Now, it would be very easy on a show like this

to just make the international teams, like, dress up

in, like, a silly outfit that's a bit stereotypical of their country.

We're not doing that. We're above that.

Mmm.

We've got Jordy to do that instead.

(LAUGHTER)

Please welcome the first team from America!

('STAR-SPANGLED BANNER' PLAYS)

WOMAN: Oh, yeah!

Go, Jordy!

CONTESTANT: Whoo-hoo!

(LAUGHTER)

Hi, y'all. I'm Michelle. And I'm Krystle Starr.

BOTH: And we're from Texas.

Yee-hah!

I was in season two of Lego Masters.

I really like to build one-to-one scale.

And I was on season one.

I was thinking about doing, like, what we drew.

Like, showcase dragons.

I like building things that are, like, so colourful and crazy.

This is our fabulous fairy wonderland.

I also brought home the trophy for the holiday special

and I think that we've got a really good shot

at bringing home the Australian trophy.

U-S-A!

(LAUGHS)

Oooh, USA. (LAUGHS)

Oh, goodness.

Would you please welcome Team Denmark!

(STATELY MUSIC PLAYS) (APPLAUSE)

(DRAMATIC MUSIC) (LAUGHTER)

I'm Peter and this is Ida.

And we're from Denmark.

IDA: The home of the brick, the motherland of Lego.

(CACKLES EVILLY)

(BOTH CACKLE EVILLY)

We are the quirky ones.

We come up with silly ideas, fun stories.

(BRICKS CRASH)

I think our secret weapon will be humour.

(WOMAN LAUGHS) (APPLAUSE)

It feels so good to be part of the Australian Lego Masters.

Yeah.

Everything we have watched on TV has been mind-blowing.

The pressure's on.

WOMAN: No pressure. No pressure.

Wow.

OK. Mesdames and messieurs, would you please welcome Team France!

('LES MARSEILLAISE' PLAYS)

(CHEERING AND APPLAUSE)

(LAUGHTER)

I'm Camille. And I'm Caroline.

We are brother and sister from France.

(SPEAKS FRENCH)

CAROLINE: Our biggest advantage being brother and sister,

we understand each other.

We are exactly on the same page.

We've done the French TV show. It was good.

But not good enough for us.

And we are here to show the rest of the world

French people are better.

(EXHALES) Alright.

That leaves us with only one more international team.

Please welcome Team Germany!

(GERMAN NATIONAL ANTHEM PLAYS) (APPLAUSE)

(LAUGHTER)

I'm Annalena. I'm Felix.

And we are best friends from Germany. (LAUGHS)

We met each other in track and field

and we are trainers together, so we are very, very competitive.

I think we are a very good team.

(SPEAKS GERMAN)

We know what the other can do. We know what we can do by ourself.

Oh, wow.

Then I think that's why we won Lego Masters Germany 2020.

(HOST SPEAKS GERMAN)

(GASPS) (APPLAUSE)

The bar was here.

And when they came out, it went up somewhere around here.

WOMAN: Oh, my goodness.

HAMISH: Alright.

So, now that we've got everyone here,

for the first time, we can officially say

welcome to Lego Masters Australia Versus The World.

(CHEERING AND APPLAUSE)

Now that it's a truly international competition,

it reminds me a lot of another truly international competition.

(RESOUNDING MUSIC)

(WOMAN LAUGHS)

(CHEERING AND APPLAUSE)

Ever since the very first ancient Olympics in Greece

thousands of years ago

and the first ancient Lego Masters in Denmark thousands of years ago...

(LAUGHTER)

..these two events have embodied the spirit of teamwork, drive,

discipline, athleticism, sacrifice,

all in the ultimate pursuit of glory.

Yes, the Olympics and Lego Masters

have a very, very long history together

and you cannot deny that they've always been intertwined.

You all have incredible skill, incredible passion,

incredible talents

and it's our job to draw that out of you.

It's hard, it's tough and it will be difficult, but I cannot wait.

It's gonna be absolutely awesome. Good luck.

(APPLAUSE)

Now, at the end, there is a prize.

You will be crowned the winner

of Lego Masters Australia Versus The World.

WOMAN: Wow.

You'll also win $100,000 Australian.

(LAUGHTER) Australian.

Don't get excited, Americans.

(LAUGHTER)

You'll also get to meet the special brick

that you'll be playing for in this episode...

CONTESTANTS: Oooh! ..very soon.

But for now, come with us.

(CHEERING AND APPLAUSE)

(UPLIFTING MUSIC)

WOMAN: No way.

Wow.

(WOMAN LAUGHS)

(PEOPLE EXCLAIM)

WOMAN: Oh, my god!

WOMAN: Oh, wow! That is so cool!

Because we're all getting to know each other,

the very first build is called Break The Ice.

Oh! WOMAN: Wow!

(APPLAUSE)

All the nations coming through the ice.

There are also eight mysterious floating islands.

(LAUGHTER)

That is where you guys will be creating your masterpieces today.

WOMAN: Oooh.

Your challenge is to build something that would look cool

as it is coming through the ice.

At the end, we're gonna remake the ice

and your builds will smash up from underneath them.

It must be strong enough, your build,

to withstand the impact as it comes through the ice.

Think of the story that it tells.

The reveal is the moment.

To complete your Break the Ice builds, you've got...14 hours.

MAN: Oooh. WOMAN: Oh, my goodness.

Wow. Wow.

Time starts now. Good luck. Go for it, guys.

(APPLAUSE) (UPLIFTING MUSIC)

CONTESTANTS: Oooh.

WOMAN: Oh, my god. It's big.

Stepping into the brick pit, like, I was honestly so overwhelmed.

I've never seen so many bricks in my life.

MAN: Wow. Look at all the mini-figs.

MAN: Great googly moogly.

Bricks. Bricks everywhere.

(MAN LAUGHS) WOMAN: Wow.

MAN: Oh, mate.

I've never seen this before.

I think it's a bit bigger than the one in Denmark.

It's huge!

(BOTH SPEAK DANISH)

I'll take that, you take that. OK.

And then we'll go shopping. Shopping!

Gotta make it colourful.

When the internationals walked through that door,

it blew our minds.

Some of them are specimens coming in, with their muscles hanging out.

FELIX: Oh, I love it.

I love it too.

Amazing!

They are pumped and they're ready to try and take our crown

but they're not taking our crown.

Everyone thinks Australia in general

is not up there with the rest of the world.

Well, we are.

I'm Dianne. And I'm Shane.

And we're a mother-and-son team from WA.

Why is his hair so grey?

Oh, man. (LAUGHS)

My love for Lego started when Shane was very little.

SHANE: We moved around a lot as a family.

One of the big things that we always brought along with us was Lego.

I don't think there's any other team

that has a combined almost 80 years of experience...

(LAUGHS) ..building Lego.

So, it's kind of important, I guess, in the first episode,

to show that we're not gonna be able to be just walked over.

No.

We're gonna go a little bit crazy.

So we're gonna build a flower that blooms as it comes out of the ice.

And then, for a little bit of fun,

we're gonna put a little spinning bee on top.

This one's an engineering challenge

because it needs to be strong enough to break through the ice.

Like, for me, it's gonna be pretty technical.

I've got two mechanisms that are gonna work in the build.

But as the flower comes up and pierces through,

the petals will open and then there will be a little moving surprise.

And it's us blooming.

(BOTH LAUGH) Yeah, it's...

See?

It's us blooming and showing the world that we're gonna bloom

all the way to the end and take that cup home.

Is lava red or orange?

It comes out, like, red

and it goes orange and then black when it comes down.

Oh... OK.

Have you never seen lava? No.

I don't go travelling the world like you.

It's called documentaries. (LAUGHS)

To be the all-female team for Australia

is quite a lot of pressure.

Like, I've been able to represent Australia before

but not at this scale.

I'm Haley and a current reigning beauty queen here in Australia.

Miss Australia International.

Being a beauty queen has allowed me to connect my passion for Lego.

Definitely take my inspiration from being outside and being in nature

and being able to build that into Lego

is something that is truly amazing.

Hey. Morning.

My name is Charlie.

I'm a master model builder

at Legoland Discovery Centre in Melbourne.

(TRAM BELL DINGS)

And I'm the first female master model builder

in the Southern Hemisphere.

As a master model builder,

our job is to build upon

and maintain all sorts of different builds.

I love my job so much.

Like, any and every piece that you could ever need,

I can make anything I want.

Nothing is impossible.

This is by far the hardest first challenge in a Lego Masters series.

Definitely. By far.

We have to not only make something that looks good

but it's structurally sound.

So, our idea is to do a big volcano

with a monster coming out of it, like a Marvel monster.

We're kind of pulling a bit of inspiration from a bit of 'Moana'.

So there's gonna be... Like, a hand, like...

Oh, a hand. She's got the hand motion.

(LAUGHS) Good hand.

Do you reckon you could do that? Yeah.

That's... Oh, I don't know.

That's only, like, a B+.

You're used to pageants, aren't you, and judging harshly.

(LAUGHS) Yeah. Add everything to it.

Oh, my god. Yeah, that's a good hand.

That's a good hand. Thank you.

Thank you. That was crazy.

That was very mental. Thanks, ladies.

(LAUGHS) Goodbye.

(LAUGHS) OK. (LAUGHS)

We're not just representing Australia,

we're representing the girls for Australia.

We want to show the internationals that we've got it

and that we're good and we're definitely ready to take that on.

Absolutely.

(UPLIFTING MUSIC)

Brickman, here we go, Australia versus the world.

Oooh.

Some are calling it the ultimate battle for supremacy.

Who's saying that? The Channel Nine ads.

Oh... But it's true.

The Aussies, yes, home-ground advantage

but also haven't been on a Lego Masters before.

# I know what I'm doing I don't know what I'm doing... #

Certainly the home-field advantage

is they've gotten to know my judging style,

the things that I'm looking for... Yeah.

..the things that I like to teach... Yeah.

..the things that we like to see influenced in our Lego builds.

They understand those very well.

The overseas teams, of course, are used to a different judging style,

looking for different things - very different.

Nothing makes you appreciate your own brick pit

as going into another one.

I mean, it does feel like a little mini Olympics already.

(DRAMATIC MUSIC)

I'm incredibly impressed by how much athleticism the Germans have.

That's probably why they came in in activewear.

Yeah.

FELIX: So, that's every plant we have in the brick pit.

ANNELENA: (LAUGHS) Oh, my god.

Oh, my god, Felix.

What are you doing?

This is the fastest I can do.

Yeah, we won Lego Masters Germany

but I think Lego Masters Australia is totally different.

It's more challenging.

It's the best version of Lego Masters in the world.

Time is running, so we need to go fast.

Every time, every second, every minute.

To be the first ever winners that wins, like, a second time,

it would be crazy.

We make the decision to make a dragon and a castle,

a big dragon who's breathing fire to break through the ice.

In the first viewing, you only see the castle.

Like, you think, like, "Mmm, only a castle."

And then, when it comes up, you see the dragon and everything around it

and then the whole story makes sense.

I would say our story's really clear,

like, the dragon, the castle and fire and break the ice or...

Yeah. (LAUGHS) Beautiful.

Just so you know, in case you're thinking, "Oh, if we speak German,

"like, no one will understand us," I did German in Year Nine.

Yeah? Yeah. Almost...

You can speak a little bit? Yeah. Eine bitte.

Ein biss... Yes.

Sorry, that means 'one, please', doesn't it?

Yes. 'Eine bitte' is 'one, please'.

(LAUGHS) Yes.

Yes. Ein bisschen.

'A little bit', yes. Uh...

Let me go and get my textbooks

and if you guys want to have a chat for five minutes,

if you're missing home...

(LAUGHS) ..you know who to talk to you.

OK. We ask you. OK. Nice.

Tschuss. Tschuss.

Informal goodbye.

(RESOUNDING MUSIC)

Oh...

This will be great, yeah? Yeah.

(LAUGHS) It's going to look great. (LAUGHS)

(CAROLINE LAUGHS)

CAMILLE: We were in Lego Masters season in France.

And that was... Great.

..great.

But that was not the best achievement we could do,

so we have to be just better.

(LAUGHS) Faster.

And stronger. Stronger.

Daft Punk. Yeah.

French group.

Hello, Caroline and Camille. Hello.

Welcome to Lego Masters. Thanks.

What are you making that is gonna be breaking through the ice?

Today, we decided to build a big pencil.

It's just sharp so it can break the ice.

OK. Where did the idea for a pencil come from?

We thought about the...

Just...

..the tip of the pencil, yeah.

Yeah. The subject.

Yeah, sure. We like the idea, so...

Yeah. Yeah.

There are two parts to this challenge.

First off is obviously being able to break the ice,

which the pencil will definitely do.

The second part is, what is the story?

How do we get a pencil to fit into the world of the ice?

Good question.

(CAROLINE AND CAMILLE LAUGH)

(LAUGHS)

It's very important to take Brickman's advice...

Because he's judging. ..because he's judging.

(LAUGHS) That's it.

So...

Alright, everyone, if I could have your attention for a second.

We're gonna stop the clock.

So you can pop your bricks down.

At the start of the episode,

we made a lot of comparisons to this being like the Olympics.

For something of this level,

usually, don't they have an address by the head of state?

(GASPING)

For something of this level,

usually, don't they have an address by the head of state?

Well, in Australia, it's none other than the prime minister.

(GASPING)

Would you please welcome Michael Wipfli?

('ADVANCE AUSTRALIA FAIR' PLAYS) (APPLAUSE)

Look, we would've loved to get Albo.

He's busy. That's understandable.

But I want to make something clear. I did not lie.

The head of state is the prime minister. Full stop.

"Please welcome Michael Wipfli." That's just a new sentence.

That's a new thought. It's not a lie.

Wonderful to be here. It's an honour.

A little bit of change out of my daily normal routine

to be at what we could probably consider to be the Lego Olympics.

So, what we say in Australia is give it a fair-dinkum crack.

(LAUGHS) Am I right, Aussies?

Fantastic. Yeah. Thank you so much.

No worries.

I was so surprised that we met the prime minister.

Nice to meet you. A long way from America.

Yeah. But well worth the flight.

Thank you.

I was, like, "OK. I cannot sit down.

"I have to stand up and shake his hand,"

because when am I ever going to meet the Prime Minister of Australia?

Ah, Denmark.

Yes. Hello. This is where Lego is from.

I was so confused when Hamish introduced the prime minister.

Prime minister. Yeah.

(SPEAKS GERMAN)

(LAUGHS)

Shoot. That's great.

What he said, he loves us, so... (LAUGHS)

Sausages... (LAUGHS)

Wonderful. Wonderful. Bratwurst.

(LAUGHTER)

I look over and I see Hamish, like, giggling.

I was, like, "Krystle, do you think this is real?"

And I said no.

Croissants.

(LAUGHS)

That's not the prime minister. That's 'Wippa'.

We were fooling the internationals.

(LAUGHTER) Thanks.

I'm sure everyone would like to join me in thanking Mr Michael Wipfli.

Thank you. And god bless Australia.

Thank you, Mr Non-Prime Minister.

What a treat.

I think he pulled it off. I don't think anyone suspected.

Oh, OK, guys. Time back on.

(IDA LAUGHS) Two hours down. 12 to go.

Good luck. Back to building. Here we go. We're back on.

KRYSTLE: Whoo!

DIANNE: Wait, did he just say two hours?

Two hours down. Are you kidding?

(LAUGHS) Surely not.

We do muck around a little bit, but never with time calls.

That is two hours down.

You do muck around with time calls. I do muck around with time...

(LAUGHS) Yeah, I really do.

(DYNAMIC MUSIC PLAYS)

I am empty of these bricks.

Nearly.

CAMILLE: Great.

Hey, look at us.

Hey. Hey.

BOTH: Look at us.

We could've been at work right now.

I'm Eric.

I work at the Lego store as an assistant manager.

I'm Ben.

Dust, you fool.

I also work at the Lego store.

I mean, it's full-on.

Are you willing to go on the wizard's quest?

(LAUGHS)

The 'Beric' bromance probably started

when we had to build a couple of kits for the store.

Scalpel.

Ben's brought a lot of creativity to my life.

Shhhh! Oh, yeah.

A lot more freedom and a lot more chaos.

Oh, my god.

(CLATTERING)

We can fix that.

Hello, Eric. Oh, hello, Ben.

So, the challenge for this episode, not only are we worrying about,

you know, the technical, the colour, the story...

The aesthetics. ..all Brickman's favourite things.

We need to build something that can pierce through the ice.

It's something that Eric and I would probably put together

if we had the bricks available to ourselves at home...

Yeah. ..so this is a very Beric build.

ERIC: We are building a sea serpent emerging from water and ice

to attack a Viking settlement.

I'm feeling really good now about this.

This just feels so strong and sturdy.

That is so good.

It's one thing to just be doing Lego Masters

but to do it representing Australia, it's pretty huge.

Versing the world, but the world's already done Lego Masters.

Seeing what's going on over there,

with the rockets and everything coming together,

you can tell they've done it before, so...

Oh, yeah. Yeah.

I'm just upset I forgot my green and gold face paint.

(BOTH LAUGH)

Aussie, Aussie, Aussie. WOMAN: Oi, oi, oi. (LAUGHS)

PETER: What are you building?

We're thinking a Viking.

Just come ask if you will need any advice.

Oh, there we go.

I never thought I would represent Denmark in any competition,

anywhere.

But now I'm on the other side of the world.

We feel the pressure from being from Denmark,

home of the brick, you know.

That's a lot to have on your shoulders.

Yeah.

So we can't just come here and have a nice time,

being touristy and stuff.

We have to work.

IDA: So, today we're building a penguin

that has a dream that it's going to reach the stars

if it straps itself onto a rocket.

To make sure this rocket breaks the ice,

we've built a Technic frame inside

and we'll make the weight go up and support the rocket.

It should take the pressure from the top, I think.

This is... (EXHALES) (LAUGHS)

This is the fun. This is the fun. (LAUGHS)

I really hope the ice isn't too strong

'cause otherwise we'll be the first Lego Masters in history

to destroy every team... Every team. Yeah.

..every team's build.

(LAUGHS) KRYSTLE: The Dane...

They're from the land of the Lego,

so they better be one of the best teams here.

(BOTH LAUGH)

Being chosen to represent America...

It's an honour.

..it's a huge honour.

And we are going to try to live up to that.

We are going to live up to that. (LAUGHS)

Michelle is killing it with the TV. It's looking amazing.

And I'm making little dainty flowers.

We met because of TV. Yeah, we were both in the TV.

Yes. (LAUGHS)

So we're putting ourselves back in there.

We're going to build a vintage TV with two fairies inside

and the fairies represent us.

At most Olympics, Team USA wins.

Is there any pressure coming into Lego Masters,

going "This is an Olympic year."

Yes. Yes.

"We'd love to see Team USA, like, atop the Lego medal tally."

Yeah. We do want the gold. (EXHALES)

I brought home the trophy for the holiday special and...

(LAUGHS) ..I don't need two trophies.

But I do need two titles.

Titles. Yes. (LAUGHS)

Obviously, when we win, you can keep the trophy.

(BOTH LAUGH)

(BRIGHT MUSIC PLAYS)

What are you doing?

I have a lot more stuff stuck in there.

Like, smash the whole build, can you?

Please, just leave me alone. That's all good.

To be competing in Lego Masters, oh, it is a dream come true.

I've been waiting for this for so long

and now I've got Emelio with me, which is just incredible.

Yahhh! (LAUGHS)

We are partners in Lego and partners in life.

Sam and I have been dating for two years.

And I've introduced him to the weird and wonderful world that is Lego.

I'm a brick artist.

I create digital artwork out of Lego bricks.

As you can see, I am hearing-impaired

but this really has no impact at all on how I put Lego together.

I mean, I don't need to hear bricks. I just need to see them.

The style I'm gonna be bringing is hyper colour -

very pop, very bright and really fun to look at.

EMILIO: Today, we're building a sea monster,

which is coming out of the water, breaking the ice.

He has just started to capture this poor little kayaker

who's on a fishing trip

and they've just been scooped up by him as he comes out of the ice.

I'm trying to make this incredibly sturdy

so it's got enough force to punch through that sheet.

Because it's sort of like about, you know, having an icebreaking...

Yeah. Yeah.

..top. Yeah.

And then there are other things that don't have to be as strong.

MEN: Yes.

I guess it's like real life, you know.

We have this facade that breaks the ice,

but deep down, we can also have some fragile bits.

Yes. Yes.

(PLAYFUL MUSIC)

Australia versus the world. Uh-huh.

So, let's get Brickman's thoughts.

Shane and Dianne. A mother-and-son team.

Now, I don't know anything about the gears and the moving

but I've seen enough to know a good one and that looks like a good one.

He's testing very frequently and seems to have figured it out.

Look at it.

It's perfect.

Team Germany.

Oh, what we are seeing here

is the byproduct of a team that has done Lego Masters before.

It's character, it's colour, it's scale.

It's the three big ones straight off the bat.

Yeah, that's good.

That's high enough.

Team France - Caroline, Camille, the pencil.

I just want to go faster.

(CAROLINE SIGHS)

This is probably the most abstract out of all of our ideas.

But as we always say, we don't get to explain your build.

You don't get that plaque. That's right.

It just has to be obvious.

I agree with Brickman. The story wasn't so logical.

But we just love our idea,

so we improved our story.

We decided to turn our pencil into a deep-sea diving pencil

who is searching for her treasure, a sharpener and her rubber.

It really speaks to the universal story of every pencil...

BOTH: Yeah. ..who is looking for...

Yeah. ..their sharpener.

Yeah. That's a beautiful story.

Yeah. Quick question.

What is the French host called? Eric Antoine.

He's a... A magician.

He's a magician? Yes.

Really? Yes.

And host? BOTH: Yeah.

Does he, like, do magic tricks on the show and stuff?

Yeah. Yeah.

Like a ball of bowling... A bowling ball...

He made the ball of bowling disappear.

That's what he did? Yeah.

And he can say the time too.

Not at the same time as the magic trick, though.

(LAUGHS)

Does he do the trick where he doesn't even look at the clock

and he can say the time?

Even though I can be talking, right, at the same time, I always know...

I always know what time it is, so... Yeah. What time is it?

In five seconds, it will be...

Don't look. It's my job.

(BOTH LAUGH) Nine hours to go, everybody!

See? And I can just sense it.

OK. So, that's five down.

So I can also do how many it's down and how many to go.

Nice.

Like that! Whoa.

Alright, alright, we get it.

The French host, oooh, he's the best.

He does magic tricks.

OK. Great. That's OK.

There's plenty of room for all of us.

It's not a competition.

(BLOWS) Yes, it is. Go, Australia.

(DRAMATIC MUSIC)

Oh, Jesus, man.

It's actually looking so cool from a distance, this lava.

Oh, really? Like, the build. Yeah.

CHARLIE: So, today's challenge,

we are building a big volcano with a monster coming out of it.

Yeah.

I would press.

OK.

We're making sure that it's still stable enough to take that impact...

Through the ice.

Try and make this as solid as possible.

But, man, oh, man, are the internationals scary!

I feel threatened.

It is worrying me that they have experience on Lego Masters before

'cause, like, they know how this works and it's an advantage.

Oh, my god. Their fairytale thing's so cute.

Something nice and pretty.

Look at Germany.

FELIX: I like that everyone likes my castle.

We're definitely probably at the bottom, but it's OK.

Huh? It's OK.

Everybody, I've got some great news.

IDA: Yay!

You are halfway. WOMEN: Oh!

Halfway in our very first Australia Versus The World showdown.

CONTESTANT: Oooh! That means you've gotta hump!

Let's move!

Hump.

Do you say "You've gotta hump"? Yeah.

Gotta hump! Yeah.

Get over the hump! There we go. More context.

(LAUGHTER)

I don't know what you're thinking. No.

SAM: Halfway through

and we're sort of getting this thing into shape finally.

We want the sea serpent to be more high,

so hopefully it'll just punch through

and not get covered by sheets of ice that obscures the whole creation.

EMILIO: So, Sam's gonna keep working on that

while I continue to work on the world around it.

MICHELLE: So, there is me.

KRYSTLE: So cute.

Our TV's coming along well.

We want to make it really strong so it can crash through.

I think it's really cute. I do not like the winter.

Michelle doesn't like the winter. Yeah.

We're not winter babies

and so we want to break through the ice and get straight into spring.

Yeah.

PETER: We've got a rocket with a penguin on top of it.

What are you working on there? Some sort of power function?

Well, I'm not promising anything. No, no.

Just saying.

But I'm trying to make power function

for the steam that will make it pulsate...

Oh, look like it's bubbling? Yeah. Yeah.

Like the steam's... Wow.

HAMISH: Alright, everybody.

I'm gonna stop the clock, if I could get your attention.

You guys have been building for some time now.

But I feel like this whole time

you're wondering, what are you playing for?

What's the special brick? Am I right?

IDA: Yeah, you're right.

You want to know what you're playing for.

FELIX: Yeah, of course.

Would you like to meet this season's incredibly powerful brick?

CONTESTANTS: Yes! SHANE: Let's do it.

Ladies and gentlemen, feast your eyes

on, dare I say, the most powerful brick

we've ever seen on Lego Masters.

(ALARM BLARES)

(RESOUNDING MUSIC) (CONTESTANTS EXCLAIM)

WOMAN: Wow!

If you have this brick in your possession,

you will be safe from elimination.

You will have incredible advantages.

You are playing for it in this build right now

and you will have...the Big Brick.

(EXCLAIMS) (APPLAUSE)

(LAUGHS)

I want it.

Alright. Time is back on.

Good luck, guys. BRICKMAN: Good luck, everyone.

Whoo-hoo! Go, go, go, go, go.

(DRAMATIC MUSIC)

Eric, what do you think? Dude, that's good.

When our sea serpent breaks through the ice,

we just want to capture the moment

of this village under attack, in absolute peril.

Everything is coming along nicely. We're getting the serpent down.

It feels strong, it feels good.

And we want that sea serpent to look as...

Menacing as possible. ..menacing...

So we're installing lights.

(EXCLAIMS)

Oh, yeah, that's... DIANNE: Oh, that's wicked.

That is... Like, that's lit up. Yeah.

BEN: When we look across the room

and there's these amazing builds from the international contestants,

it's quite intimidating.

ERIC: We want the Big Brick big-time.

We need to do our best to match the international competition.

Just want it to be the best in the room.

After seeing the Texas-size brick, like, that's all we want,

so I just want it to be, like, so strong and so perfect, which...

(LAUGHS) It's perfect.

This is basically the Olympics for Lego Masters

and I want this trophy more than anyone else here.

I'm, like, literally so excited about this.

This is amazing.

Take a second and look around.

Obviously that's insane and theirs is insane

but I think we're in the top three, for sure.

Team USA is coming home with the trophy, for sure.

Coming up, with the Big Brick now in play...

We've gotta show the internationals... Yeah.

..that we can punch at the same weight that they can.

We want that brick. We want it.

..which teams are going for gold

and which teams face hurdles before the finish line?

I can see right off the bat here two or three that are in trouble.

(BRICKS CRASH) Oh, no...

If your build is not cracking through the ice...

(CLAPS) you'll lose.

(RESOUNDING MUSIC)

Brick pit run.

ERIC: Speed. MICHELLE: Wow. OK.

Let's get going.

DIANNE: I think it's looking alright.

SHANE: Yeah, it's looking perfect.

Oh, my god. Oh, jeez.

That... It was a good catch.

I think something needs to be fixed.

'Cause, remember, there is a massive slab of ice...

I know. ..that it needs to get through.

Alright, Brickman, we are bringing it home for this first build.

We've never, ever started a Lego Masters

with the possibility that your build could smash.

No.

If it doesn't have ice-breaking capabilities,

we will just flatten someone's build.

Yes.

I can see, right off the bat here, two or three that are in trouble.

Let's go around. I want to know ice-break...

Oooh. ..probability.

OK.

I want you to give me a score out of 100 that all of it's coming through.

Let's start with Team Denmark.

How likely is it that it's getting through?

100%. Yeah, it looks solid.

And they've filled it full of Technic on the inside,

so it's super strong.

Super strong. Team USA?

No problems at all. It's a giant square box that's solid as.

The antenna's definitely going.

That is not an armour-piercing antenna.

(LAUGHS) Ben and Eric?

100%.

ERIC: I'm feeling really good now about this.

This just feels so strong and sturdy.

Shane and Dianne? Our now quite enormous flower.

I think it's gonna make it through.

Certainly the flower.

So I'm gonna say 80 on that.

SHANE: Oh, no, that will work.

DIANNE: The bee is very cute.

Felix and Annalena. Our dragon.

As the dragon's come around, they've pegged it back into the castle

to give it more strength in various places.

100%.

Team France. We've got a deep-sea diving pencil.

What's your thoughts?

Well, I'm really glad they pivoted.

The pencil's 100. Mm-hm.

The rest, maybe 50.

CAMILLE: I think it's strong enough.

Sam and Emelio.

That monster, I've personally seen its head fall off.

They can't even get it to work BEFORE the ice,

let alone during and after the ice.

1%.

That's being generous.

Oh...

EMILIO: Alright. It's not 100% secure yet.

SAM: No, but we're getting there.

Charlie and Haley.

That's solid. That's getting through the ice.

100%, that volcano.

100% getting through the ice.

However, that's not the story.

It's about the monster.

It's about this lava creature that's coming out of it.

As I haven't seen it yet,

I can't say whether it's gonna survive or not.

Just don't know.

We can kind of like build the lava here.

Teams, congratulations! You have made it to your first red zone!

(CONTESTANTS CHEER) (ALARM BLARES)

CAMILLE: Rouge zone. Rouge zone. Yes.

Either way, whether you've been here before or not,

you know what it means.

You have one hour.

One hour to make these builds incredible

before they bust through the ice.

Brickman, words of advice?

BRICKMAN: Definitely, it's all about breaking through the ice.

Is your model strong enough and well-built enough

to make it through the ice?

CHARLIE: Oh, my days.

HALEY: An hour to go.

The volcano monster's currently not existing.

We have a hand and that is it.

If you look at every single one of the builds around the room,

they've all got their characters done and dusted.

Yep.

So yours is the only one without anything to be bursting through.

Just a mountain coming through is not gonna cut the mustard.

We have so much to do... Yeah.

..in such little time.

We're not just representing the girls.

We're representing Australia.

Like, that's added pressure.

I'll be back.

(CAROLINE LAUGHS)

FELIX: Annalena? Hmm?

The castle is finished.

Nice.

I think our castle will smash through the ice

because I make it really, really, really massive.

It looks like there are a lot of details

but inside, there are only bricks,

so the only things that fall down are the trees.

Yes. Like, but this is normal...

When ice is falling down, the trees will also fall down.

This is like a natural thing.

ANNALENA: I think we have a very high chance of winning the Big Brick

because the story is clear, the colours are perfect.

Everything's strong enough to break the ice.

Oh, that's so solid. It's nice.

Yeah, we want to win this amazing Big Brick.

Like, this is, I think, the most important thing.

But if your work is not cracking through the ice...

(CLAPS) you'll lose.

HAMISH: Everyone, you've got 30 minutes.

CONTESTANTS: Oh! BRICKMAN: Half an hour.

WOMAN: Oh...

Half a bloody hour, as we say in Australia.

(IDA LAUGHS)

So that is not a lot of time,

but it is enough time, hopefully,

to make sure your builds are solid enough to make it through the ice.

No, no, no, not enough time!

PETER: Testing, testing, testing.

Yeah, it moves.

We've put some movement in here... IDA: Yeah.

..and it's really sturdy,

so unless the penguin loses its head when it goes out through the ice,

I think it should work.

We're making sure our build is strong enough

to crack through that ice and then open and bloom.

(CLATTERING) (GASPS)

Could you fix it up, please?

I'm just trying to find everything I can to shore this thing up

and make something that can go through that ice.

I just need you focused on getting...

I am. ..this all secure.

I've got the... I'll build the aesthetic stuff.

At this point, we should actually be finessing,

making sure the world is beautiful

and doing all the nice little final touches,

but structurally, this is most likely not gonna make it through.

It's not a good feeling.

Just let me know if you need me to hold this.

Yeah. Yeah?

Oh, it's like... What?

Oh, no! (CLATTERING)

Just let me know if you need me to hold this.

Yeah. Yeah?

Oh, no! (CLATTERING)

DIANNE: Are you OK?

(TENSE MUSIC)

(SIGHS)

This head is becoming a complete nightmare.

We're fine.

I'm just trying to find everything I can to shore this thing up

and make something that can go through that ice.

Alright. Can we have a head check?

Right. Head check.

Just start pushing down, see what we've got.

Yeah. Gentle.

Gentle. Gentle.

This is gonna go through ice. It ain't gotta be gentle.

Yeah, but we need to be gentle now

'cause we need to get something through the ice first.

DIANNE: OK. Covered all of those, Shane.

SHANE: Beautiful, Mum.

We're super stoked. Yeah, you know...

Our foliage is up. We've nailed the bee.

Pushing up.

Let it go.

Why is it not staying?

There's too much weight.

Far out, Shane.

The petals are not working.

There's too much weight on the petals.

I need them to be stronger.

Alright.

Do I have enough time to pull this apart and rebuild it?

Are you fricken kidding me?

I'm not.

I'm really not.

We need Brickman to be wowed

and we've got to show the internationals... Yep.

..that we can punch at the same weight that they can.

Everybody, you've got ten minutes to go!

Oh, you son... Oh, my god.

I feel like we're time-travelling.

We are time-travelling.

Just forwards at one second per second.

(BRICKMAN LAUGHS)

SAM: Move.

Yeah, beautiful.

BEN: Dude, this tail came up in such a quick minute.

Quick tail.

IDA: I'm feeling super excited... PETER: Yeah.

..about the build.

I don't know what the term is in English

but in Danish, we say that we're going to polish it.

Yes. Wax on, wax off.

The Big Brick's powers are amazing,

saving you from elimination

and giving you extra powers, extra advantages.

Extra advantages. That's very nice.

So we want that brick. We want it.

I just want to put him on. Is it pretty stable?

It's very stable.

The lava monster, it's not my best work.

I'm not proud of it.

(SIGHS) That is a weird-looking monster.

It's just a lump with some eyes.

If we had more time,

I would've loved to add so much more detail to it

but we do not have a lot of time to go.

DIANNE: How much time have we got left?

A minute 22, Dianne. Argh!

Why is Dianne screaming? How many minutes?

Oooh.

You have one minute to go.

(BOTH SPEAK GERMAN)

Oh, la-la-la.

Love you, but, like...

30 seconds.

..not with 30 seconds are you touching that head.

First build is over in ten, nine, eight,

seven, six... SHANE: Bee's on. OK.

..five, four, three, two, one.

That is it, everybody.

BRICKMAN: Awesome. Well done. Yes!

That is it!

You have completed your first build

on Lego Masters Australia Versus The World!

Huge effort! Well done!

SHANE: It was definitely... DIANNE: To the wire.

..to the wire. Like...

Doing everything we could just to make sure that that flower closed.

Yeah. So I'm very proud.

But the challenge today is break through the ice.

Good job. Oh...

You don't know whether it's gonna break through...

No.

..whether you're gonna end up with, you know...

A mushed mess of bricks. Oh...

(DRAMATIC MUSIC)

Australia, the world, let's break the ice.

(DRAMATIC MUSIC)

Good luck.

(DRAMATIC MUSIC)

(CRACK!)

Oh, my god!

(CRACKING)

(EXCLAIMS)

(DRAMATIC MUSIC)

Stay, stay, stay.

MAN: Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.

Get the penguin!

(DRAMATIC MUSIC)

Oh!

(DRAMATIC MUSIC)

He's breaking. Yeah.

(ROARING)

Yay!

BRICKMAN: Almost!

All of them! Yes! (CHEERING AND APPLAUSE)

FELIX: And the bee is turning!

Our bee's been good!

BRICKMAN: Very cool. Very, very cool.

DIANNE: It's awesome. SHANE: Loved it.

We have got all the builds through the ice.

I can officially say, you have broken the ice.

Your builds are intact. Congratulations. Well done.

(CHEERING AND APPLAUSE)

Whoo!

Why don't we start with Peter and Ida?

(APPLAUSE)

It seemed like you were having a lot of fun building this. Is that...

IDA: Very much. PETER: Yeah.

Is that a fair thing to say?

We had to build with each other again

because it has been so long since we built together.

PETER: The challenges makes us more creative

when we have some kind of boundaries to work within.

That's what the show's about.

Creativity, some sort of idea to start you off

and then make something crazy.

And that's also what we like to bring with Lego,

inspiring other people and showing people that you could be creative.

You don't have to have, like, 3 million bricks.

I think that's really beautiful, Peter.

I think that is a great reason why you guys really belong here.

MAN: Minus 15.

IDA: Our build is a penguin...

Minus ten.

..that has a dream that it's going to reach the stars

if it straps itself onto a rocket.

MAN: Two, one.

(DYNAMIC MUSIC)

And, of course, it takes off from under the ocean.

PETER: We put some movement in for the steam...

coming out of the rocket.

Oh, unreal.

I love the story and I feel like it's come from the heart a bit.

We needed to see something bright and poppy and colourful

and you went with it.

From a technical perspective, I mean, look at the rocket.

It's rock-solid. It's not going anywhere.

The loss is big, but that will happen at supersonic speed.

Yeah.

I also liked how you had time at the end

to throw in the power functions for the moving clouds of smoke.

I think that was really quite smart and clever as well.

I think, for a first build on Lego Masters Australia, well done.

It's awesome. Thank you.

(CHEERING AND APPLAUSE)

Representing Denmark in Lego Masters Australia...

IDA: Is quite the pressure because we come from the home of the brick.

But I'm really, really proud of our build.

We hope our country is very proud of us too.

Shane and Dianne, let's take a look at yours.

To be representing Australia in Lego Masters is a true honour.

(APPLAUSE)

SHANE: It's very important straight from the beginning

to show the world that we're here to win,

that straight from the beginning we're gonna be up there.

Taking the cup home.

Shane and Dianne, our mother-and-son team.

It's very important, first challenge, to be on top of the game.

SHANE: Show that we can do some amazing stuff

to hold off against the internationals.

Yep. We don't want them taking that crown.

We built a flower that blooms as it comes out of the ice.

(WONDROUS MUSIC)

And then, for a little bit of fun, put a little spinning bee on top.

(BUZZING)

BRICKMAN: So, the choice of red at the top I think is fantastic.

We definitely needed to see something pop its way through.

Yeah.

Really glad you went for a mechanism.

That's obviously something that you're fantastic at.

Yeah. You're well-drilled.

You've gotta play to your strengths. Yeah.

And that's a fantastic way of showing that off.

I want to talk about the boats.

What spoke to you when you picked that element up?

It's one solid piece. Yeah.

It's relatively light.

And you kind of needed armour-piercing shape...

Yeah. Yeah. That's where it came from.

I can't un-see the boat. Yep.

What you needed to do is camouflage them a little bit

and find a way to maybe turn them into those petals a little bit more.

Certainly food for thought from an aesthetics perspective.

Sure.

And then, storytelling.

The whole symbolism of nature coming out of the ice,

that is great and I really like that.

I would've liked to have seen some more work around the flower.

But for a first build, you guys should be absolutely rapt.

(LAUGHS) We are. Well done.

Thank you.

(APPLAUSE)

DIANNE: I'm so proud with this build today.

We've done a bloom in this competition

and we're gonna show them that we're gonna bloom.

SHANE: Yeah.

And, you know, watch out, international people.

(LAUGHS)

Sam and Emilio.

SAM: We built our sea monster...

(ROARING)

EMILIO: With some tentacles around it.

And he had started to capture this poor little kayak on a fishing trip.

(SCREAMING)

For my money, the least likely head you would ever see on,

but yet there it is.

We got a head. Balancing some ice too.

Yes. What a show-off!

Yes. (LAUGHS)

For you, Brickman, what was the effect like for this?

Well, it's obviously the colour.

And immediately, when I was watching them all come out,

this orange...and it really pops.

Good job, guys. Well done.

Ben and Eric.

(APPLAUSE)

ERIC: We've built a sea serpent...

(GROWLING)

..emerging from water and ice to attack a Viking settlement.

(SCREAMING)

(GROWLING)

I think the story's great. It's a sea creature.

Immediately, we think, "Oh, it's coming out of the ice and the water"

so it belongs.

Technical is fantastic,

the way that you've managed to put the serpent together.

I would like you to also think about, for future builds,

the layout and the composition of your build.

For example, say, you've got the village

and the trees here at the front.

All of that stuff you've done around the wave and the tail,

we can't see it

'cause you built the village and everything in front of it,

so just think about your staging and composition for a little bit.

Krystle and Michelle.

(CHEERING AND APPLAUSE) Come on in.

How does it feel seeing it now? Feels great.

She's gorgeous. It feels amazing.

We built this vintage TV with two fairies inside.

The TV is surrounded by a lush garden

and flowers coming up through the snow.

From technical, I'm really glad you went for a mechanism,

with the spinning fairy that you have in the television,

so I'm gonna give you a good tick on technical.

And in Australia, the fairies spin the opposite way,

which must be a bit weird for you guys.

(LAUGHTER) How interesting!

The story is really an interesting one.

I can't get the why it's coming up out of the ice and the water.

If this was just a build on its own,

I can picture it clearer and more obvious.

You've explained it to me, so I understand.

But we need to be able to clearly have the Lego bricks

tell us exactly what's going on.

But it's beautiful, it's colourful, it's poppy, it more than survived.

It looks fantastic. Well done. Thank you.

Awesome, guys. Thank you, guys. Thank you.

Thank you. Camille and Caroline.

Come on up.

(CHEERING AND APPLAUSE)

CAMILLE: Even if we are proud of what we've done...

Our scuba-diving pencil. He has made it to the surface.

..we are feeling the weight of all our country

on our back.

When you first explained to me that you were making a pencil,

I was, like, "OK..."

Camille and Caroline, come on up. (APPLAUSE)

CAMILLE: We are feeling very anxious.

It's a great responsibility to represent our small country.

Our scuba-diving pencil. He has made it to the surface.

We made Cecile, the deep-sea diving pencil...

and she's scuba-diving under the sea

and looking for her treasure,

her rubber and a sharpener

in a treasure chest.

When you first explained to me that you were making a pencil...

I was, like, "OK. Uh, hmm, this is interesting.

"OK, we've got a lot of..." "Let's see where it goes."

"We've gotta see where it goes."

And so, basically, we did and I found myself warming to the story.

I found myself starting to go, "Oh!"

And then, when you gave it a name

and you started explaining the persona, you know,

when you told me, like, "Oh, you know, he's going down there

"to rescue the pencil sharpener," I'm, like, "Oh, awesome.

"I'm really going for this guy."

The fact that you went really bright, crazy colours

worked in your favour.

That's a big tick.

In terms of technical ability,

you obviously made the pencil strong enough

to be able to withstand the impact and that was your first thought.

You listened to the brief.

You said, "Hmm, what is it that this has to do, first and foremost?"

And that is survive getting through the ice. So I was a big fan of that.

I've gotta say, where I was to where I am now, it's awesome.

Well done. Good job. Well done, guys.

(APPLAUSE AND CHEERING)

At the end, we are quite proud of our build

because it's very representing our minds.

Felix and Annelena.

(APPLAUSE AMD CHEERING)

ANNELENA: The bar is very high for us,

so we try to beat our personal best and show Australia what we can do.

Alright. What was the team like being back together?

It's working very well.

When we split parts, everyone knows what he has to do.

Everyone knows what he has to do?

(LAUGHTER) Everyone knows what we have to do.

That's exactly what my wife would say.

(LAUGHTER)

(DRAMATIC MUSIC)

FELIX: Our story is about a big dragon

who's wrapped around a castle and protecting its egg,

hidden in a cave underneath the castle.

(ROARING)

ANNELENA: And the dragon was breathing fire

to break through the ice.

So the ice melts, making a waterfall and a river

and then the dragon just crushes one tower down

and it falls into the river.

Unreal.

Being able to grab our attention

with something really bright, colourful or intriguing,

which is what the red dragon is,

then hold our attention with fine detail...

and the castle and the surrounds and things did exactly that.

This is outstanding. You should be super proud.

Thank you. Thank you.

Beautiful.

(APPLAUSE AND CHEERING)

FELIX: I'm really happy how it turned out for us

and I think I make Annelena happy with the castle.

It's really detailed.

It's not so easy to impress me. Yeah.

It's an honour that she said, like, I'm making a good job...

You did a great job.

..so I'm really happy that I could make Annelena happy.

That's the important thing, I would say.

Haley and Charlie, let's take a look at yours.

Germany's build was... (BLOWS KISS) chef's kiss.

HALEY: They're definitely heavy-hitters.

Our build just isn't technically up there with the other builds.

We know we can do so much more.

Brickman's definitely not gonna be impressed with our build.

We're going to get roasted.

(LAUGHS) Burnt chicken nuggets.

HALEY: Looking at the other builds,

our build just isn't technically up there.

We weren't able to do what we had hoped for it.

I'm scared.

(DRAMATIC MUSIC)

We have a big volcano with a monster coming out of it...

a lava monster...

(ROARING)

The lava monster is burning the ice.

Coming out of his rock volcano.

(DRAMATIC MUSIC)

Obviously, the brief was to make it through the ice, so, awesome.

Managed to do that, thank goodness. Yep.

That's always the nervous, uncontrollable bit.

I also like the technique that you did with the rockwork,

using all the different slopes that Lego have.

I think that was really cool.

However, on the downside to that...

it just took so much time.

Yeah.

It was like you guys were non-stop making basically the volcano

for the best part of ten hours.

Yeah.

And so, you really needed to get some more time into the character,

which is the hero that's coming out of it.

The eyes, I would've loved to have seen the eyes light up

a different colour - something like that.

This is a very straight-up-and-down build.

Definitely disappointed 'cause we know we can do so much more.

Those internationals have definitely brought it.

But we're learning. We'll get there.

Alright, everyone, you have all just completed your very first build

on Lego Masters Australia

and for that, I think you deserve a huge round of applause.

(APPLAUSE)

You made it through.

Now, I know in some versions of the show around the world,

the first episode is an elimination.

Yeah.

(TENSE MUSIC)

Today is not an elimination.

However, in case the next episode is an elimination,

that is why you are playing for television's heaviest prize -

the Big Brick.

If you hold the brick, you are safe from elimination

and you'll win an advantage.

It's certainly worth the physical effort it will take

to carry the brick in and out of the room.

(LAUGHTER)

Only one team can hold the brick

and it probably will require the full team to hold the brick.

(LAUGHS)

Brickman, who are our top two today?

The first team that I would like to call forward today is...

Felix and Annelena!

(CHEERING AND APPLAUSE)

And the second team joining them...

(DRAMATIC MUSIC)

..Peter and Ida!

(CHEERING AND APPLAUSE)

Both teams today got into it right from the moment it started.

(LAUGHS)

You both showed great colour in your Lego builds today.

You thought about the story a lot.

What a way to introduce yourselves to Lego Masters Australia.

Alright, so, there can only be one winner of the Big Brick.

(DRAMATIC MUSIC)

It came down to one thing,

one thing which I've spoken about on the show previously.

That's the ability to grab attention and hold attention.

Well done, Felix and Annelena.

(APPLAUSE)

To win this challenge, I think we kind of expected it at this point.

It all worked out, so it's good.

We have big plans and just nail it.

(APPLAUSE)

Now, you guys, for the very first time in Lego Masters history...

(DRAMATIC CHORAL MUSIC)

OK, let me just stretch up a little bit.

OK. Just mentally... Bend the knees, brace the core.

Here we go. It's really heavy.

Here we go. Brace.

(STRAINS)

(LAUGHTER) It's actually heavy.

Congratulations, guys. You've won the Big Brick!

If you get thrown in an elimination, you're safe.

There you go. OK. There we go.

Hey!

(APPLAUSE)

SHANE: The Germans' build was amazing.

DIANNE: Yeah. The dragon, the flames, like...

Yeah, we'll let them take this one. Yeah.

Just this one.

Coming up this season on Lego Masters...

Oooh!

..the international battle continues...

KRYSTLE: It's like literal crunch time.

..as Aussies take on the world.

There will be clashes...

You are so cranky. ..and smashes...

(SMASH!) CONTESTANTS: Oh!

..and builds that make you question everything.

Make sure your build can fool our special guest.

SOPHIE MONK: Bonjour.

No. Wait.

Far out. Nothing looks like Lego.

And it all kicks off tomorrow night with a team go-kart challenge.

Observe me.

(THUD) Oooh.

This will be one of the coolest things we'll ever do together.

Oh, yeah.

None other than best friend of the show, Sophie Monk!

(LAUGHS) Are feeling pumped?

(CLATTERING)

(LAUGHTER) That was serious.
