Original subtitles

HAMISH: Previously... USA!

..the world's most skilled builders...

MAN: We are a brother and sister...

From Paris. ..from Paris.

..made their grand entrance...

WOMAN: We come from Denmark.

The motherland! The motherland of LEGO.

We are the winners of LEGO Masters Germany.

..ready to face off with Australia's elite LEGO Masters.

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

It was pedal to the metal in a double-brick go-kart challenge...

(CHEERING)

(LAUGHTER)

..but Germany and Denmark zoomed into action.

What an unpredictable race!

..leaving the competition in the dust.

Ohh! OK! Oh!

Tonight...

We're gonna give these internationals

a run for their money today.

..our multinational battle continues.

The dojo fighting showdown!

What, specifically, are you making?

Just enjoy the show, man. All will be revealed at the end.

WOMAN: Does two teams having immunity worry me?

Yes, 'cause it's not two Australian teams.

It's fairy-tales with a twist...

Brickman is looking for the perfect marriage

of fairy-tale and our genre.

..but it's not all rainbows and lollipops...

Oh, my god! No! Don't spread a minefield!

..as one team will be eliminated.

(SPEAKS FRENCH)

Who will crumble under the pressure?

I swear to god that wasn't me.

If you're an international, pack your passports,

because the Aussies are ready to win back the gold.

(IMPACT BOOMS)

(BRICKS CLATTER)

(MOMENTOUS MUSIC BUILDS)

Bring in those beautiful big bricks.

(MOMENTOUS MUSIC CONTINUES)

You have been practising how to carry those.

(CHEERING AND APPLAUSE)

Here we go!

(MOMENTOUS MUSIC CONTINUES)

OK, well done, guys.

I mean, do some stretches.

Obviously some pretty tight forearms after carrying the Big Brick.

(MOMENTOUS MUSIC SWELLS)

Before we get into today's build,

Felix and Annalena, you are two-time winners now.

Two episodes, two Big Bricks.

Annalena, do you feel like you're top of the world?

(BOTH LAUGH)

Mmm, I am feeling great.

It's a big honour, I would say.

And if you look at LEGO Masters Weekly, LEGO Masters Daily,

like, all the newspapers and magazines,

they're saying you guys are favourites.

Do you feel that's true? I don't know.

I think the pressure's pretty high right now, so we will see.

Hands up if you think that Felix and Annalena

are, in fact, the favourites.

(MOMENTOUS MUSIC CONTINUES)

Wow. There you go. (LAUGHTER)

Ida, no hand up? Nope.

(LAUGHTER)

LEGO Masters isn't a marathon or a sprint.

It's more like running from a bear. Yep.

Just don't be behind when there's an elimination.

As they say on the Serengeti, just don't be the slowest antelope.

(LAUGHTER)

Alright, OK, so, this build is called Twisted Tales.

In one of the bingo wheels, we've got fairy-tales.

MAN: Ohh!

'Alice In Wonderland', 'Wizard Of Oz',

'Peter Pan', 'Cinderella',

'Goldilocks', 'Beauty And The Beast',

'Little Red Riding Hood', and 'Rapunzel'.

(CONTESTANTS EXCLAIM) Oh, 'Rapunzel'!

I want 'Rapunzel'.

In barrel number two, we have genres.

(CONTESTANTS EXCLAIM)

They are Action, Sci-Fi...

(GASPS)

..Western, Crime, Horror,

Martial Arts, Historical Epic,

and Sword and Sorcery.

Ohh, yes! (LAUGHS)

So, here's how it's gonna work.

I will randomly select one story from the story wheel

and one genre from the genre wheel.

Your build has to combine the story and the genre,

giving us a brand-new take on a well-known story.

I like that.

You know, think 'Wizard Of Oz' as a kung-fu story.

(LAUGHTER)

However, before we get to that, two people here have the Big Brick.

Felix and Annalena, Peter and Ida, you guys have an advantage.

You get to pick your story and your genre first.

Oh! WOMAN: That's crazy.

OK, Felix and Annalena, what are your picks?

(LAUGHS)

Like, the genre is clear. It's horror.

Horror? ANNALENA: Yeah.

Yeah, we take this.

And we have to think about...

(IMPACT BOOMS)

OK, it's... OK.

It's gonna be 'Little Red Riding Hood'.

'Little Red Riding Hood' and horror.

Peter and Ida?

Yeah, I think we're going with

'Beauty And The Beast' and Science-Fiction.

Alright, love it, love it! (CONTESTANTS EXCLAIM)

OK, Charlie and Haley, here we go. Oh!

Are you ready for your classic tale?

What would you like?

'Rapunzel' or 'Cinderella'.

'Rapunzel', 'Cinderella'?

Can you, like... just kind of, like...

It is...pair of socks, 'Goldilocks'!

(LAUGHTER)

Alright, in the genre of...

(MOMENTOUS MUSIC SWELLS)

..martial arts. Yes!

(LAUGHTER)

OK, hard to tell if that was a desired result.

(LAUGHS) Bloody hell!

Ben and Eric. Oooh!

It's...'Rapunzel'.

(LAUGHTER)

(WHIMSICAL MUSIC)

Sword and Sorcery 'Rapunzel'.

(LAUGHTER) That is your genre.

Shane and Dianne.

'Wizard Of Oz', Action.

SHANE: Yeah, stoked with that. (LAUGHTER)

OK.

Sam and Emilio.

'Peter Pan' in the genre of Historical Epic.

OK! (CONTESTANTS EXCLAIM)

OK. (LAUGHTER)

Camille, Caroline, would you like to step forward?

'Alice In Wonderland' in the genre of Crime.

(CONTESTANTS EXCLAIM) Perfect!

Perfect?

Alright, which leaves...?

'Cinderella' western!

Alright! You already know! (LAUGHTER)

(CHEERING AND APPLAUSE)

Alright, so, Brickman,

how will people get their hands on the Big Brick?

Well, it's a storytelling challenge.

It's all about how well you can explain, through the LEGO Bricks,

both what the fairy-tale is, and the genre.

These fairy-tales each have

a series of things that they're known for.

They have a certain style about them.

It's your job today to take me into the place

where your story is happening.

I need to be able to see it straight away, crystal clear,

through your build, the two mixed components.

As you know, the Big Brick is always up for grabs every build,

and carries with it an incredible advantage.

The biggest advantage it has

is it will keep you safe from an elimination.

So, what I can tell you guys is - it is an elimination.

(CONTESTANTS EXCLAIM)

Felix and Annalena, Peter and Ida, you guys are safe.

You're still building, you still wanna win the brick,

because the next build could be an elimination too.

(DRAMATIC MUSIC BUILDS)

Everybody else, there's six teams now that will be up for an elimination.

(DRAMATIC MUSIC CONTINUES)

I know you guys wanna know how long you've got.

It's ten hours.

(MOMENTOUS MUSIC SWELLS)

Time starts now. Good luck.

Good luck, everybody! Good luck!

FELIX: OK.

So, I thought about, like, in the woods.

Give us a pen, lad. Alright. What are you thinking?

Beauty!

'Beauty And The Beast'.

B-E-A-U... OK?

..T-E.

(LAUGHS) Maybe.

(DRAMATIC MUSIC BUILDS)

DIANNE: I'm getting that gold brick today.

The internationals are not getting the brick today, OK?

Just be warned!

International teams, you're not getting the brick today!

We're getting the brick!

OK? OK.

(LAUGHTER)

Nope, I wanna take the brick home today.

You put 'em in their place, Dianne! (LAUGHTER)

To build 'Goldilocks' and Martial Arts, I'm happy.

Yeah, you're happy. I am stoked!

(HUMS)

I've done martial arts since I could walk as a baby.

(MOMENTOUS MUSIC BUILDS)

So, my talent in the beauty pageant game

is either I'm breaking boards on stage

or I'm teaching one-on-one self-defence classes.

So, this is my dream!

So, down... And then you go, "Ahh!"

(GONG SOUNDS)

The story is Goldilocks is running out of this dojo,

where the Three Bears live,

and they're coming after her,

and she's basically gonna be fleeing in the Mama Bear's gi.

So, I'm just working on getting the dojo up and ready.

I'm building a bear that's doing a, "Ahh!"

100% terrified right now. Yeah.

It's the first elimination.

We don't want to be the first team home.

We want to show these international teams

Australia is here, and we're here to fight -

the dojo fighting showdown.

(UPBEAT MUSIC)

Brickman, we say this about every build,

and it's true about every build,

but in particular today,

how critical is the idea -

the choice of things to put together?

This challenge is really quite specific.

We're making one scene of the fairy-tale,

and then the genre or the setting in which they will play in.

It just needs to be easily identifiable,

and you can tell within microseconds exactly what it is.

But how do you effectively communicate that in a few pieces?

You do one thing to tell the fairy-tale

and one thing to tell the genre.

So, what's your story?

MAN: What's our story? 'Rapunzel'. We're doing 'Rapunzel'.

Ahh!

Dianne, Dianne, let down your hair!

Looking around the room and seeing what everyone else has got,

I'm quite happy with getting Rapunzel and Swords and Sorcery.

The story tells itself.

So, we are building a giant tower with Rapunzel at the top,

letting down her hair,

which will then flow down, controlled by the sorceress,

attacking the prince, who has come to save Rapunzel.

ERIC: But the prince is fighting Rapunzel's possessed hair

that's been enchanted by the sorceress.

So, Eric and I have decided

to go down the path of building characters,

just because we know, in terms of scale and poseability,

characters are gonna get more across than...

And story too. ..minifigs can.

Character time. Character time, OK.

(UPLIFTING ELECTRONIC MUSIC)

(LAUGHS) And again - pockets full of LEGO.

Choosing 'Red Riding Hood', for us, was pretty easy,

because it was already a horror story.

(WOLF HOWLS)

Red Riding Hood, she wanted to go to her grandmother,

because her grandmother is sick,

but in the forest, there is a wolf.

FELIX: He wants to eat the Red Riding Hood.

I think he's leaning, like, a little bit left.

So, he's looking left behind the tree.

So, I am building the wolf right now.

I think it looks very scary.

I am doing the rest of the building,

like the forest scene.

Love it. (SPEAKS GERMAN)

(SPEAKS GERMAN)

And the Red Riding Hood - I never build characters.

Normally, in our season, in Germany,

Annalena do the main build, like, the impressive thing.

Cool!

And I do, like, the details.

Makes me really nervous,

because it's really hard to make Annalena happy.

So, I hope I can make Annalena happy with my character,

but it's not that easy. (LAUGHS)

(WHIMSICAL INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC)

(CAMILLE SPEAKS FRENCH)

(CAROLINE SPEAKS FRENCH)

I like the story of 'Alice In Wonderland'.

And we love the Crime...

No, I...I don't love the Crime.

OK. (LAUGHS)

We love it.

So, talk me through, then. How are we laying it out?

So, we want to make the Mad Hatter tea party.

So, everybody in the tea party is poisoned.

So, are they there? Are they slumped over the table, or what?

Some, yeah.

Not dying, but sick, definitely.

How do we know that he's poisoned someone?

Because there will be clue, and evidence.

OK. We have...

'Cause this is the hard part.

Yeah, yeah. Yes.

Because those clues have to be made of LEGO bricks.

We have to be able to tell.

We are struggling with how to build the Crime.

Poisoning with something is not easy to recognise.

Yes, OK. One simple crime scene.

A crime scene with the characters from 'Alice In Wonderland'.

OK.

(MOMENTOUS MUSIC BUILDS)

Two hours down! Eight hours to go.

Is this where you wanted to be at the two-hour mark?

"Sure is, Hame." Oh, that's great news.

(LAUGHTER)

I hope that is your story thus far.

(MOMENTOUS MUSIC BUILDS)

We got a Yellow Brick Road!

I'm very excited,

because we get to build some of my all-time favourite stories.

Today's challenge - we got 'Alice In Wonderland'

and we got Action.

So, we're pretty stoked about that.

We got...we got 'Wizard Of Oz'. Oh, 'Wizard Of Oz'.

We got 'Wizard Of Oz'. (LAUGHS) Oh!

(MOMENTOUS MUSIC BUILDS)

We're gonna take the classic scene

of Dorothy melting the Wicked Witch,

and we're gonna have Dorothy jumping through the air,

shooting water pistols.

The Witch is gonna be melting. "Arggh!"

We're very confident about the combination that we've got here.

Yeah. We're actually really excited.

Does two teams having immunity worry me?

Yes, 'cause that's two international teams, not two Australian teams.

But you know what, I don't want to be eliminated today.

I'm taking that brick home today. Yeah.

(EXHALES) Alright, gang.

Um, Shane, I see you've got a few stamps.

Let this spur you on,

because I know you're going for the Big Brick today.

(LAUGHTER)

I've got the rings. I'm aiming for it, yeah.

Do you have any LEGO ink? I don't actually have any LEGO ink.

No LEGO ink? No, no.

How do you spell 'Dianne', Hamish?

D-I-A-N-N-E?

Well, you would think that's how it was spelled, right?

Is that how it's spelled? Uh...

(LAUGHS) Oh!

That's Di-ane!

(LAUGHTER)

I had an argument with the tattooist at the time.

He's a mate of mine. (LAUGHS)

And he said, "Shane, I'm pretty sure

"your mother's name is spelled with two N's."

(LAUGHS)

I guess a good lesson to be, like, really double-check the details,

I mean, and what better place to use that than on LEGO Masters?

Hone in on those details. Yeah, that's the plan.

That's... (LAUGHS) You said it, Di-ane.

Alright, good luck.

(JAUNTY INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC)

(LAUGHS) Di-ane!

# Little ditty 'bout Shane and Dianne

# Two LEGO builders doing the best they can

# Dianne wants to win the whole game

# Shane, he struggles to spell his mum's name, oh... #

What's that? Oh, gotta go to an ad.

OK. Sorry about...OK.

Well, you get the gist. They're going great.

(IMPACT BOOMS)

(MOMENTOUS MUSIC BUILDS)

You've got Western and... 'Cinderella'.

'Cinderella'? Oh, that's sick!

That's an actual... like, challenging one, right?

A little bit? I think we got it. We're from Texas.

MICHELLE: So, we got 'Cinderella'... And Western.

And I could not be happier.

We're from Texas, so it makes sense. (LAUGHS)

We want to build the iconic scene

of Cinderella coming down the staircase at midnight,

leaving her shoe behind.

Yeah, and instead of a slipper, she's missing a boot.

Yep.

'Cause...why not? 'Cause that's so Western.

Yeah! We left our boots at home.

The pieces are gonna be stackable.

Like, we're gonna build different turrets

and we're gonna be able to just, like, build a castle

without building an entire castle.

We've got a little bit of 'Cinderella' here with our staircase

and we are working on our... Western castle.

I felt like we had to have this background, with the Western.

This is an elimination challenge. Yeah.

It's the first one of the season.

I'm super nervous.

But also the Big Brick is back up for grabs,

and we really want it.

We do. We want it.

We want it for USA.

We are in it for the long-haul.

We can't go home on a Western. That would just be shameful.

So shameful.

(DRAMATIC INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC)

Could you just make four of those?

Absolutely, boss. That would be super. Thank you!

So, uh...

Oh, Brickman! Sorry, you surprised us.

We were so busy building, and we're very into our build.

What are you making?

Uh...we're going as fast as we can.

What, specifically, are you making?

This...is one of the Action elements.

What, specifically?

Oh, gee! Specific, specifically, specifically, specifically.

Just enjoy the show, man. Enjoy the build!

And all will be revealed at the end.

Well, we chose 'Beauty And The Beast' and Science-Fiction.

We're building the Beast proposing to the Beauty,

and she will be rejecting him,

because he's a robot, so they can't be together.

She is still like, "Oh, but I can't marry you.

"I don't really know you and this is kind of awkward, you know?

"We've only been knowing each other for a couple of months."

And he's like, "Oh, please take my hand in marriage.

"I have brought you all of these flowers and I really like you."

We are in possession of the Big Brick.

So, we can take a risk.

For now, we're just making the figures

and making sure that they look good.

Ida? Huh?

Oh, but...oh, Peter

Yeah, we definitely have to pose our figures

so that they will tell the story to make it come to life.

(SPEAKS DANISH)

Mm-hm. Hey! Total bad-ass!

(UPBEAT MUSIC)

I reckon we have five hours remaining.

Yeah. That's plenty.

Mmm...

You just keep doing that. I know.

I've got this.

The bingo balls have given us

'Peter Pan' and Historical Epic blended together.

Is that how the Colosseum is?

I don't know! I haven't been there. (LAUGHS)

(LAUGHS) Don't ask me!

When we think of Historical Epic,

we definitely think of old Rome, Ancient Rome,

that sort of epic theatre, that epic stage.

So, what we decided is the epic battle scene

between Hook and Peter Pan in a Colosseum.

I am Italian.

So, I need to make my heritage pro... (LAUGHS)

Emilio's been working on getting our Colosseum ready.

I am getting the bodies ready, of our two characters,

and we also have matching heads.

So, we've got Pan and we've got Hook.

Hook.

I definitely want to get the characters done

as soon as possible,

'cause the Colosseum is big,

and we really have to build the scale of the thing.

(DRIVING MUSIC)

(LAUGHS) He looks so good, Sam!

We're gonna give these internationals

a run for their money today.

(MOMENTOUS MUSIC BUILDS)

(IMPACT BOOMS)

(SPEAKS FRENCH)

Alright, Brickman, I think people are realising someone's going home,

and there is a definitely air that this is for real.

The penny's dropped, hasn't it? The penny's dropped.

So, right now I wanna know the teams that are in trouble

and give me the teams that look like they are well clear.

OK, I think our German team, at the moment,

just seem to flow beautifully.

Mm-hm!

(SPEAKING GERMAN)

Really haven't had a problem right from the word go.

I mean, 'Red Riding Hood' is not far off a horror story.

They played the Big Brick well.

The big advantage. Oh, chose well, chose well.

Played into it. They're fine. They're comfortable.

Anyone else completely fine?

I feel like our American friends...

'Cinderella' as a Western.

MICHELLE: Does that look Westerny?

Hell, yeah, dude! Hell, yeah! OK.

Cinderella's running out,

and instead of losing her shoe, she's lost her boot.

Cowboy boot. Easily identifiable.

And you can tell within microseconds exactly what it is.

I made tumbleweeds.

Oh, that's beautiful!

But who is in trouble?

Our French team, Camille and Caroline.

(SIGHS)

'Alice In Wonderland', and their genre is Crime.

(SPEAKS FRENCH)

(SPEAKS FRENCH)

Crime is a tricky one, isn't it?

Definitely! It's one of the harder ones.

The crime scene is a table with some people that have been poisoned.

The difficulty is in how do you transpose that idea

into physical LEGO bricks?

And so that's the problem.

At the minute, that's not clear. Right.

(EXHALES)

Now, in the same boat is Sam and Emilio.

They got a tough one.

They've got 'Peter Pan' as an historical epic.

EMILIO: Let's go. Let's power through now.

We're making some good ground...

Yeah, but don't let that get us caught out.

They're going for the Colosseum as their Historical Epic genre,

but at the minute, it just looks like the back of a building.

(IMPACT CHIMES)

It's very difficult to get that whole grandeur of what's going on.

ERIC: Man, I'm feeling that time pressure now,

you know what I mean, like...

Yeah, that's all good. That's all good.

Ben and Eric.

'Rapunzel' in the world of Swords and Sorcery.

They're figured out the story,

in that they're gonna have a knight and a wizard and Rapunzel.

Fantastic! But it's about execution now.

Eric's come up with a really cool technique

to get this rounded castle wall,

but it's super labour-intensive.

Does that look even on your end, real quick, this tower?

BEN: Yeah.

But he only got it about three inches high.

(IMPACT BOOMS#

Alright, everybody! (CONTESTANTS EXCLAIM)

As the clock ticks down, we are exactly...halfway!

Five hours down. Five to go!

ERIC: We are not halfway through.

I know it doesn't look like I've done much, but it's getting there.

It's just taking so much damn time.

The three things we need to nail is, one - a tower.

Two - hair coming down from a Rapunzel.

And the Swords and Sorcery element,

which is a sorceress attacking the prince,

who has come to save Rapunzel.

(DRAMATIC MUSIC BUILDS)

Oh, so good!

Right now we only have the sorcerer and the prince.

How long is gonna take you to get that, like, super high?

Well, I feel like it should go real big.

Ben and Eric, hello!

Brickman, how are we? How are we, Brickman?

I'm great, but I'm worried. OK.

The technique that you've chosen for the castle, as awesome as it is,

if you keep going at the same rate and the same pace,

you end up with nothing.

Yep, yep.

(DRAMATIC MUSIC BUILDS)

He has a point.

(DRAMATIC MUSIC CONTINUES)

Yeah, we need to pivot right now and come up with something else.

Um... I think I'll just plate up.

Yep.

I'll just get plate and edges and go up, up, up, up, up.

I think, at this point, elimination is in the back of the mind.

So, we're just putting plates straight up.

You know, we're just trying to do as much as possible

and ensure that we get this tower done,

and we can get the most important part of our story in there,

which is the hair.

I'm starting to get stressed.

Oh, no!

Without the tower, we can't have the hair.

It's fine! (LAUGHS)

See? It's fine. Trust me.

(IMPACT BOOMS)

OK, so, it's not fine. It is not fine.

(IMPACT BOOMS)

(DRAMATIC MUSIC BUILDS)

OK, while this is down,

you need to build a structure through there, OK?

(MOMENTOUS MUSIC BUILDS)

DIANNE: How are you going? How's your dragon?

Is it a dragon? What is it?

ANNALENA: No, it's not a dragon, it's...

No. What is it? It's a wolf.

It's a woof... Wolf!

Woof. Wolf!

Woof. (LAUGHS) Woof, woof.

Our strategy right now is that Annalena is building the wolf.

It looks amazing.

Cool!

At this moment, for me, there are a lot of trees.

But it's really good, because in a forest,

there are not only two trees - there are more than two.

So, there it is.

But for me, building the Red Riding Hood makes me really nervous,

because it's, like, the main character of the fairy-tale.

I think I can do it...

Yeah, I never build characters before.

So, I'm really taking some time

to focus on detailing the expression in her face.

With the head,

it's not easy to do, like, these small, like, faces.

Brickman is looking for, like, the perfect mix

between the fairy-tale and the genre.

So, we want to be really clear that it's Red Riding Hood.

Then there's, like, the big wolf is behind her

and want to, like...yeah, eat her.

So, yeah, I give my best.

(GASPS) Oh!

(SPEAKS GERMAN)

(LAUGHS) What was that?!

It was like this, and I catch it at the bottom.

(MOMENTOUS MUSIC BUILDS)

CAMILLE: So, Caroline is working on the Mad Hatter

and I'm currently working on the table.

CAROLINE: We have 'Alice In Wonderland'.

But we were still figuring out the crime scene.

Instead of poison... Yeah?

..what else could we have?

Um...

(SIGHS)

Our other idea is to do a crime scene

around a cutted card.

So, we decided to do a crime scene

with the Mad Hatter cutting the cards.

So, the cards are his victims, are they?

Exactly.

I feel like you've got a good story.

I feel like the story's clear now.

The hard part is you've got a lot to do.

Yeah. Like, a lot.

Thanks a lot. Good luck.

Thanks a lot.

Brickman loves our...new idea,

but we're just worried about the fact

that we won't have the time to do it.

You're building with good purpose.

Like, I feel like you guys are...

Your favourite. Your favourite?

You feel like we are your favourite.

Is that what you wanted to say?

That IS what I wanted to say. (LAUGHTER)

Oh, thank you so much. Ahh, thank you.

Well, I can't just say that to everyone.

I hope so. No way.

Good luck, favourites.

Thanks. Thanks.

(JAUNTY INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC)

This is looking good. Thanks, man.

And I'm glad it's looking good, because -

I probably shouldn't say this, but you're my favourites.

(LAUGHS) Thanks, man.

(JAUNTY INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC)

How's my favourites going?

That's looking good. Physics of hair is...

You'll get it. It looks like hair.

(JAUNTY INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC)

Hey, guys. Guess what. What?

It's an hour to go.

No! Yes! One hour!

(SIREN WHOOPS)

One whole hour.

Arggh!

But another way of looking at it is, "Oh, no. One hour."

(MOMENTOUS MUSIC BUILDS)

She has become an absolute Beauty, this one!

It's an absolute Beauty, this one we've found here!

In this last hour, I'm just doing these boots,

then we have to put up the Beast,

make sure that he can actually stand.

Finish the pose, and then we can do some nitty-gritty polishing stuff.

(SPEAKING DANISH)

"Arggh!" Love it!

We're stoked... Yeah.

..to have gotten the 'Wizard Of Oz' and Action.

At the moment, we've got the Witch...

Arggh!

She's creepy as hell.

..and Dorothy. "Arggh!"

"Die, Witch, die!"

We want Dorothy jumping through the air,

shooting water pistols.

Yep. Melting the Wicked Witch.

I'd love to see the posing. Sure!

Are we able to... Yeah.

The most important aspect of the build

is that sense of implied movement.

So, we've gotta nail poses, we've gotta nail expressions.

Mm-hm.

I mean, there'll be more fine tuning.

No, no, that's fine.

I'm just curious to see sort of the placement.

I also wanted to make sure that you could see very clear layers

between the foreground, the midground, and the background.

Like, we're building it as if it's an old-school movie set.

The way you've staged it is awesome, because you really do have

foreground, middle ground, and background.

Yep. So, I think that's fantastic.

The only other thing - it needs a little something behind.

Something that gives a sense of depth a little bit more too.

Yep. Yep.

Brickman wants it to show more depth.

He wants us to add a little bit more.

He wants us to push that depth even further.

So, we need something in the background.

(DRAMATIC MUSIC BUILDS)

I think that's it.

(DRAMATIC MUSIC BUILDS)

Alright, cool. Cool, cool, cool.

There is half an hour to go! 30 minutes to go!

Whoo!

This is an elimination!

Half an hour to make sure your fairy-tale is crystal clear

and your genre fits exactly what you were given.

CHARLIE: Game on, people! Game on!

MAN: Oh, game on!

(MOMENTOUS MUSIC BUILDS)

How's the roof starting to look?

HALEY: That looks good.

I've never built a dojo before.

You've never built ninja bears before.

I think, as a team, we've done alright!

We've definitely nailed the genre for Martial Arts,

but it's just more...

..yeah, making sure that we can really see the three bears.

and make out that it is Goldilocks with a bowl of porridge.

(DRAMATIC MUSIC BUILDS)

(SIGHS)

I'm feeling a little bit nervous.

The Colosseum is pretty much done.

I've still got Hook to finish. EMILIO: Yeah.

I am spending a bit of time on the characters

because I know the characters are something

that will get us across the line,

but I'm really, really happy with how I made Hook look,

how I made Pan look.

I feel like we've ticked the fairy-tale component.

Yep.

I feel like we still need more of the epicness.

Yep, OK.

It just looks like a building. How else do we get it grand?

We are hinging on the Colosseum being epic by nature.

Without that, there's no historical epic.

We need to see the other 50% of your equation.

Sure.

Awesome. Thank you, Brickman. Thank you.

I'm trying to stay very calm, but...

Today is an elimination. ..it's an elimination day.

The first elimination on this series.

So, I'm, like, "What can we do?"

Alright... Behind.

..move this up here.

(GASPS) (BRICKS SMASH)

WOMAN: No!

(IMPACT BOOMS)

(DRAMATIC MUSIC BUILDS)

Does that kind of look like po... (BRICKS SMASH)

..porridge?

Wait, what happened to your foot?

Oh, there it is.

The challenge today is classic fairy-tale mixed with any genre.

(DRAMATIC MUSIC CONTINUES)

We're gonna be doing Cinderella meets Western.

This is Cinderella.

She's got one boot on,

and one boot on the staircase there,

and she is gonna be in, like, a running position.

OK, Miss Cinderella.

And we have the beautiful backdrop.

This is so Western.

So, it's very Hollywood.

It's got the faux background with the buildings stacked in front.

It's literally how I pictured in my mind.

So, for me, I'm, like, super excited.

Guys, ten minutes to go! Red zone!

No! Don't spread a minefield!

(DRAMATIC MUSIC BUILDS)

Ten minutes!

I was a little bit scared about

creating horror in 'Red Riding Hood',

especially because I never did a character before.

(SPEAKS GERMAN)

(WONDROUS MUSIC)

But I'm really happy how it turns out.

I love the face expression, with the scared eyes.

I love the hair buns. I love it!

ANNALENA: Oh, that's so good!

Yeah, I'm proud of you. (LAUGHS)

I'm back! Felix.

Well, I don't know why you're running. I mean, are you finished?

Uh, no.

It looks pretty done. No, it's not done.

I think we are really good on time, and we...

(LAUGHS)

Whoa! Ahh!

I swear to god that wasn't me, but...kinda helped.

Oh, no!

Wow!

(DRAMATIC MUSIC BUILDS)

ERIC: OK. Hair's connected. BEN: How does that look?

So, Rapunzel's there. Rapunzel's there.

The hair's there. The hair's there.

And then the prince and a sorceress, we've done.

(DRAMATIC MUSIC BUILDS)

So, Rapunzel... Yep?

..in the tower. Yeah?

Does it look like that's her hair

or she's pouring paint out of a can?

Yeah, 50-50 to me, mate.

(TENSE INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC)

50-50's not enough to me.

(TENSE INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC)

What can we do? What can we do?

If you can't figure out what's happening

with the hair in our story,

which is meant to be a key element,

and today is an elimination -

we could be in trouble.

I'll bring the strands up.

The biggest motivation is, really, just to survive.

Stupid hair.

(DRAMATIC MUSIC SWELLS)

(MOMENTOUS MUSIC BUILDS)

KRYSTLE: Are you gonna make, like, a taller one?

MICHELLE: No, I was just gonna make that little guy.

CAMILLE: Where did you want to put the Mad Hatter?

CAROLINE: Over here.

Our main elements...

The Mad Hatter.

A crime scene with a cutted card.

(JAUNTY INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC)

We think this idea is quite clear to understand.

We just want to finish the challenge,

and finish it well.

(JAUNTY INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC)

Two minutes! Two minutes to go!

Two minutes? What are you doing?

EMILIO: Just finalising these guys. OK.

Brickman says he wanted it to be a bit more Colosseum-y.

Something a bit more grander,

So, we're putting pirates around the scene

because the 'Peter Pan' story has Hook's pirates.

Don't forget the tassels on this one.

And adding some banners

to try and sort of fill in the scene a bit more.

Look at the detailing on that!

The Colosseum looks great!

Super happy.

And it fits in with the brief of Historical Epics.

I need a... What?

Round plate. I'll go get it.

Run. Run. Don't... That's not running!

That's, like...ambling.

One minute!

(MOMENTOUS MUSIC BUILDS)

SHANE: We're actually in a really good place at the moment.

Just adding, like, some little extra elements.

DIANNE: Are we getting that on? We need the moon.

Brickman wants it to show more depth.

So, let's go with a moon. Yep, with a monkey in it.

We wanna be able to see the wings

so we know that it's the Witch's little mate.

Yep, there.

Let's get the characters on,

because we won't want, like, the characters on the actual...

I know. Let's get those characters on.

I think it looks great, Shane.

Last few bricks.

(DRAMATIC MUSIC BUILDS)

ERIC: Is that better?

BEN: Yeah, we need to attach the hair, though.

Oh, there should be flower pots in the...yep.

They could make the difference between staying here and going home.

CAMILLE: Oh, god. We really have to finish this, Caroline.

Ten! Nine! Eight! Quick, quick, quick, quick!

Seven! Six! Five!

Four! Three! Two! One! Zero!

Yeah! That's it!

That is it!

(MOMENTOUS MUSIC SWELLS)

Alright, guys, ten hours, eight tales, eight genres

beautifully twisted together.

First of all, beautiful work. Well done.

(APPLAUSE)

Good work!

Let's take a closer look at them.

Why don't we start with Team USA, Krystle and Michelle?

(APPLAUSE)

Our 'Cinderella' Western.

(COUNTRY AND WESTERN FILM MUSIC SWELLS)

MICHELLE: So, today we have the iconic scene of Cinderella

coming down the staircase...

(FOOTSTEPS THUD)

..at midnight.

(TRUMPET MUSIC SWELLS, BELL TOLLS)

And she's, like, leaving behind a Western boot.

There's no denying it's Cinderella.

KRYSTLE: And a Western. Yeah.

(MAN WHOOPS)

How are you guys feeling about this?

I love it! I love it.

The boot is a critical bit.

Have they done a good job of featuring the boot?

So, the key for the boot is two things.

First off, it's got a lot of negative space around it,

and the colour around it - it's on white steps.

You can't miss the boot.

The other thing is this sort of, like, layered background.

Is this a good example of it? A great example.

A fantastic way of getting a whole world

without having to build a whole world.

So, I think that's a real positive.

This doesn't feel like a third challenge build to me.

This feels like a seventh. It's polished.

Yay!

(UPLIFTING INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC)

Alright, in the world of story and genre?

Two. Well done.

Thank you. Thank you!

Thank you, thank you! Thank you!

(APPLAUSE) Well done!

I feel super confident. I do too.

Coming from America,

I just feel like we've really done our country proud.

Alright, let's take a look at our French team,

Caroline and Camille.

(APPLAUSE)

At this point, we are very worried.

Definitely it's not our best build.

(SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC)

There is lots of things we would have changed,

but we don't have the time.

(SIREN WAILS)

(SULTRY SAXOPHONE MUSIC PLAYS)

So, we got 'Alice In Wonderland'.

And Crime.

We have the crime scene around a cutted card.

The others are trying to figure out the crime.

The Mad Hatter...

(MANIACAL LAUGHTER)

..just looking with crazy eyes.

(SCISSORS SNIP)

(CAT MEOWS)

(SIREN WAILS, MUSIC SWELLS)

Caroline, how would you describe the first five hours?

Difficult.

(LAUGHTER)

Even the eight, first.

First eight hours...were difficult. (LAUGHTER)

Yeah.

It's a much clearer idea. 100%! The idea's great.

As far as our fairy-tale goes,

'Alice In Wonderland',

I'm gonna give it a big tick,

because we, 100%, know what the fairy-tale is.

But the Crime was the problem idea for the both of you.

(TENSE INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC)

And the downside of your idea coming so late

is it's the polish.

If we think of our Mad Hatter over there,

he's supposed to be trimming the hedge.

I mean, you never even got a chance to finish the hedge,

which would make the story much, much easier to understand.

(TENSE INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC)

Today it's an elimination.

I think it could be us, the first team eliminated.

(TENSE MUSIC CONTINUES)

Ben and Eric, let's have a look.

(APPLAUSE)

BEN: I'm a little worried.

Having to change the technique of the tower.

Spending so much time on the Rapunzel.

It took more time than we originally anticipated.

Our 'Rapunzel' story in the style of Swords and Sorcerers.

(MOMENTOUS MUSIC BUILDS)

Looking at our build, I'm thinking, "Is this enough?"

ERIC: Yep.

It's the biggest question going on in our heads.

"Is it enough?"

(IMPACT BOOMS)

Alright, Team Australia, Ben and Eric, let's take a look at yours.

Getting 'Rapunzel' and Swords and Sorcery,

I think, for us today, was quite difficult to...

To pull off, yeah. To capture.

The story element is there. It's just not polished.

(MOMENTOUS MUSIC SWELLS)

Today's build is a 'Rapunzel' story.

Rapunzel is letting down her hair.

Waiting for the prince to come by

and climb up the hair to be with her.

(SCREAMING)

But the prince is fighting Rapunzel's possessed hair

that's been enchanted by the sorceress.

(LOW CACKLING LAUGHTER)

(MOMENTOUS MUSIC SWELLS)

Did you feel the time pressure in this one?

Yeah, definitely, yeah. Yeah, for sure.

You can see it. You can actually see it.

Like, if you think of the tower,

the technique that you were using is a great technique!

It looks way cool, but it's just so laborious,

and the challenge is that you've gotta make do

with the hours that you've got.

(TENSE INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC)

I think we got the genre OK,

by having the tower

and having the swordsman and the sorcerer out the front,

but the fairy-tale is a tricky one,

and the hair's really hard.

It almost looks watery at the end, and the way it sort of flows,

it kind of loses the effect of what the hair is.

We know we could have put so much more in that build.

To potentially go home this early on, it truly sucks.

Yeah.

(TENSE INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC)

OK, our Germans, Felix and Annalena.

(APPLAUSE)

Combining the genre with our fairy-tale was easy for us.

'Red Riding Hood' is already like some kind of horror story.

(OMINOUS INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC)

FELIX: Red Riding Hood, she is going through the really dark forest.

(LAUGHTER)

But in the forest, there is a wolf.

The wolf want to, like, eat her.

(GROWLING)

(OMINOUS MUSIC CONTINUES)

Red Riding Hood, she's very afraid, and you see it on her face.

So, she's running away.

(SCREAMING)

(OMINOUS MUSIC SWELLS)

Alright, so, if we think about the fairy-tale,

I think choosing, you know, 'Red Riding Hood',

everybody knows it.

It's really obvious.

And in terms of horror, you know, you've crafted a world.

So, I think they're an early easy tick for me on both of those.

Now, Felix, you've never done characters before.

(TINKLING INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC)

But I reckon you probably exceeded your own expectations.

Yeah, yeah, that's really crazy for me too,

because at the ending of our season,

I was, like...like, standing a little bit, I would say,

in the shadow of Annalena, because she is a great builder,

and to see what I can do right now, it's crazy for me.

I mean, from a build perspective, this is fantastic.

Thanks. Well done.

(APPLAUSE) Thank you.

(APPLAUSE)

(LAUGHS) Now I have the feeling

that I can do something I could never imagine,

and I'm really proud of myself.

(UPLIFTING INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC)

Let's do Charlie and Haley!

The story of 'Goldilocks And The Three Bears',

you have created it as a high-intensity,

slightly comedic martial arts setting.

I think getting martial arts - awesome.

I totally get that almost instantly.

The fact that you made a building that sticks out - great.

But it's that whole component of,

"How do we get Goldilocks in there?"

(DRAMATIC MUSIC SWELLS)

You added in, like, she's got the porridge.

You know, she's running away with the porridge.

And is that a chair that's next to her? A bed?

It's supposed to be, like, a spoon. (LAUGHS)

So, that's the challenge, right?

When it's an afterthought at the end,

it's genuinely hard.

Lovely stuff, guys. Great dojo. Thank you.

Thank you. (APPLAUSE)

Team Denmark, Peter and Ida.

(MOMENTOUS MUSIC SWELLS)

'Beauty And The Beast' Sci-Fi.

(MOMENTOUS MUSIC CONTINUES)

As far as our fairy-tale goes...

(MOMENTOUS MUSIC CONTINUES)

..I think it's incredibly obvious that it's 'Beauty And The Beast'.

The pose and the flower.

(GENTLE INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC)

And for our Beauty, she's got very few studs visible on her

and you're making her more graceful.

So, I think that adds a lot to that story.

And no complaints about the Sci-Fi.

You can definitely tell the world that it's in.

Yeah, well done, guys. Great job. Nice, guys.

Thank you! (APPLAUSE)

Shane and Dianne, Team Australia.

(DRAMATIC MUSIC BUILDS)

The diving Van Damme shooting shot, with water pistols.

Brickman, 'Wizard Of Oz' as an action scene.

What are your thoughts?

What I do wanna talk about

is quite an advanced technique, actually -

laying out a scene of foreground, middle ground, background.

First off, we have the cut-down cornfield at the front.

It's a great way of introducing Kansas,

all of that stuff, to start with.

And then we have our green plants that are sort of vertical up

just after the trees.

It's almost like we've added a 0.5 in the depth of field.

This is one of the best examples

of foreground, midground, and background.

That depth that you've got going on is executed, like, brilliantly.

Well done, guys. Good job. Nice, guys.

(APPLAUSE)

Let's take a look at 'Peter Pan'.

Sam and Emillio, another Team Australia.

(CROWD ROARS, MOMENTOUS MUSIC SWELLS)

SAM: So, today's challenge, we got 'Peter Pan' and Historical Epic.

We have Hook and Pan fighting in the Colosseum,

where Pan is just about to defeat Hook.

We've got Hook's pirates sort of supporting him.

We believe we have nailed the brief.

We have our two characters,

and we believe we've believe we've built the Colosseum.

EMILIO: Going into the critiques, feeling great!

It's an amazing build! It looks epic!

We're just, like, really, really happy with what we've created.

So, talking about the characters. Yep.

I think Pan, particularly the way you've posed Pan up,

I think that works awesome.

Mm-hm.

Whereas Hook, that's an interesting one.

Now, I get that he's just in the throes of being defeated,

but his legs are bending in ways

that they can't actually physically bend.

I know.

However, the biggest question for me, in this build,

is in that Historical Epic world.

One of the hardest ones to recreate, I must admit.

The Colosseum - again, I think the idea is perfect,

but how does that translate into LEGO bricks?

That is so tough!

(TENSE INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC)

The thought process we kind of had

was make the hero guys the heroes, and make them bigger,

and hopefully, with the minifigs around,

using them to show it's still a big building.

The problem is that I can see a minifigure from here...

Yep.

..at the same time that I can see the big characters for there,

and my brain, subconsciously, is trying to figure out,

"Are they giants? Are they little people?"

(TENSE INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC)

So, I think the fairy-tale and the characters,

I'm going to give that a tick,

but I think that whole genre component, that's not clear.

(TENSE MUSIC CONTINUES)

After hearing the feedback, it kind of shot us down.

It was a shock.

(TENSE MUSIC CONTINUES)

It's an elimination day - the first elimination on this series,

and, yeah, we are a little bit nervous, aren't we?

(IMPACT BOOMS)

Ten hours and eight incredible builds.

I think, to give an example

of where we're at these days in LEGO Masters Australia,

a few seasons ago,

just doing a fairy-tale, that was one of the builds.

Indeed.

Now the difficulty level has gone up.

Now it was a fairy-tale twisted with a genre,

and you guys... you guys rose to the challenge,

and I think you deserve a massive round of applause.

BRICKMAN: Well done, everybody. (APPLAUSE)

(UPLIFTING INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC)

But it's also our first elimination.

(DRAMATIC MUSIC BUILDS)

Before we get to the bottom two from today,

we do need to know the top two teams,

and ultimately, who has won the Very Big Brick.

(TENSE INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC)

Brickman, top two teams?

So, the first team that I would like to call forward is...

(DRAMATIC MUSIC SWELLS)

..Felix and Annalena.

(APPLAUSE)

The artistry in the way you've formed that scene

really, really impressed me.

Well done, guys.

(UPLIFTING INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC)

Joining them is...

(UPLIFTING INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC)

..Michelle and Krystle.

(GASPS) Oh! Oh!

(APPLAUSE)

You know, you've crafted a world,

you've crafted this fairy-tale in a great LEGO model.

Thank you. Thank you.

Now, even though we got two Big Bricks here,

only one can be handed out today.

Who is it gonna be?

That team is...

(HOPEFUL MUSIC BUILDS)

..Felix and Annalena.

Congratulations.

Done it again. Three in a row!

When we started the journey of LEGO Masters Australia,

I was never expecting to win any challenge.

And now being here and winning, like, three times in a row,

it's so crazy, yeah.

So, we know the teams that are safe,

but the time has come to say goodbye to our first team from this series.

(DRAMATIC MUSIC BUILDS)

Brickman, who are in our bottom two today?

(TENSE INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC)

So, the first team that I will call forward is...

(DRAMATIC MUSIC BUILDS)

..Ben and Eric.

(IMPACT BOOMS)

(DRAMATIC MUSIC CONTINUES)

(SIGHS) And the other team I'd like to call forward is...

(DRAMATIC MUSIC BUILDS)

..Sam and Emilio.

(IMPACT BOOMS)

(TENSE INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC)

So, if we look back at the challenge,

it was to amalgamate two things,

the fairy-tale and the genre, together,

and we need to see straight away what the both of them were.

So, Ben and Eric,

I really liked that you had the ability

to move straight into the build,

and your characters were basically done right from the word go.

Sword and Sorcery worked really, really well, I thought,

but the way you've built your tower really put the pressure on,

and you had to make allowances because of that.

(DRAMATIC MUSIC SWELLS)

So, Sam and Emilio...

(TENSE INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC)

..for the first characters you've ever done, they're awesome.

Unfortunately, the genre card was really tough.

I thought choosing the Colosseum sounded great,

but how do you translate that into brick form?

(TENSE INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC)

So, unfortunately, the team leaving us today is...

(TENSE MUSIC FADES)

I'm sorry, Sam and Emilio.

(IMPACT BOOMS)

(SOMBRE INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC)

Sam and Emilio, I know it's not what you want.

How are you feeling?

Oh... (BOTH LAUGH)

Well, it's been a big adventure.

You know, it's been a great challenge

for the past three challenges,

and I've enjoyed myself.

(UPLIFTING INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC)

Mate, we have absolutely loved having you as part of this,

and thank you.

Everybody, clap 'em out. They're gonna leave out the back.

Thank you, Sam and Emilio.

(APPLAUSE)

Ohh!

Pretty gutted. Yeah, pretty gutted.

Especially on a build that we're so happy with.

So, yeah, it is a bit of a surprise. Yeah.

No-one wants to go home, especially first,

but it's been absolutely amazing.

We loved every single second of it.

BRICKMAN: This orange really pops.

SAM: We came here for an adventure.

We had an adventure. Yeah, it's been so much fun.

It was a short adventure, but it was an adventure, you know?

(APPLAUSE) See ya, guys!

(MOMENTOUS MUSIC SWELLS)

Coming up on LEGO Masters...

(CONTESTANTS EXCLAIM)

..the international battle for brick domination continues...

MICHELLE: It's, like, literal crunch time.

..as our teams smash...

(MOMENTOUS MUSIC SWELLS) (CONTESTANTS EXCLAIM)

..and clash...

ANNALENA: No, don't help! You are so cranky.

But could three-time winners Germany...

ANNALENA: Oh, my god!

(SPEAKS GERMAN)

..be losing their domination in this game?

This is a really hard challenge for us.

With one team already gone...

Arggh!

..can one of the Aussie teams secure a win?

# Here comes Australia Try not to think of failure

# As Australia's coming for you... #

The battle continues Sunday... (FRENCH ACCORDION MUSIC)

I think we can do it.

..with an ode to Paris and the Olympic Games...

I'm just gonna go for it.

Doesn't look anything like it!

(DRAMATIC MUSIC SWELLS)

..with builds that will leave you, and our special guest...

No way!

..in disbelief.

Far out! Nothing looks like LEGO!
