Original subtitles

HAMISH BLAKE: Previously... USA!

..the world's premier Lego masters from...

Paris. From Paris.

..took centre stage...

We come from Denmark.

We are the winners of Lego Masters Germany.

..taking on our Aussie Lego elite.

We want to show these international teams

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

HAMISH: They sure didn't come to play.

That was serious.

With incredible creations.

But this is outstanding.

The Germans were unstoppable...

This is fantastic, well done.

..and continued their winning streak.

Winning like three times in a row, it's so crazy.

Aussies Sam and Emilio fought hard...

It was an adventure, you know? Yeah.

..but sadly, were the first to be eliminated.

Tonight.

Bonjour.

Merci.

..an ode to Paris and the Olympic Games.

I think we can do it.

With a challenge to replicate.

We haven't done France a lot of favours in this episode, have we?

No, we haven't done France a lot of favours.

I'm just going to go for it.

I want to be the first Australian team to get that brick.

# Do it for Australia

# Do it for Australia. #

We are trying to do it for Australia.

OK, thanks guys.

And a surprise guest judge who will bring

a certain je ne sais quoi.

Bonjour.

And creations...

One of the most audacious things I've ever seen.

..that will blow your mind.

No way.

Ah, far out. Nothing looks like Lego.

(FRENCH ACCORDION MUSIC)

(DING)

Ah...ah...

(CHEERING)

Bonjour.

Oh, my god.

CONTESTANT: A boulangerie.

HAMISH: Bonjour.

You like it?

Yes.

Merci.

Ah, and also merci.

Ah, bonjour everyone.

Today, as you can see, we are in a boulangerie,

which, of course, is a bakery.

Brickman and I, we have opened this boulangerie

for one very specific reason.

If you look around in here,

you'll see there's many objects.

Today's build will require you to come into our boulangerie.

Take one item, perfectly replicate it.

So at the end of the build, you switch it out

and it replaces the actual item that is in our boulangerie.

Oh, you've got to be kidding me.

At the end of today's build,

we will have a very special guest come in.

They have to determine what is real, what is a Lego build?

Brickman will also be scoring the builds out of 20.

My 20 points will be judged on exactly

how it replicates the object.

I will look at the items side by side

directly next to each other.

But I'm going to be looking at which object you choose.

For example, like hiding something that's

way back in the back corner.

You're going to get much less of a difficulty score,

whereas if you choose something that's bold and outlandish,

you would get a very high difficulty score for that.

If you can fool our special guest,

you'll get an additional three points.

Those three points could come in handy at the end.

They could be all the difference... Definitely.

..so you really do want to make sure

that your build can fool the eye.

So a possible 23 point build.

I know you're keen to know the time, Felix.

How long do you think would be fair?

Mm, something between 8 and 10 hours.

(THEY CHORTLE)

Not bad.

We have nine hours for today. (LAUGHTER)

Nine hours for this quite fun,

ridiculous build here in this French bakery.

The only slightly serious side to it is

it's an elimination. Oh.

Oh.

Back to back eliminations is rough.

It's not what we were hoping for.

Felix and Angelina,

you've got the big brick.

You're the only team that is safe from elimination today.

You also have an advantage.

30 seconds ahead of anyone else to come in and pick your item.

After that, everyone gets to come in and have at it.

Oh.

In the boulangerie are a lot of lovely objects.

Like for me, I love the paintings,

but also there are a lot of big objects like a chair or a table.

To find the right way between too big and too small, I think,

it's really hard in this boulangerie.

Your 30 seconds starts now.

Go for it. BRICKMAN: Good luck, jump in.

That's it.

Alright, five seconds, you've got your thing.

Guess what? Cafe doors are open, go! Go, go, go, go, go, go.

Are we going? Are we going?

Do you want it? Do you want it?

Do you want it? Do you want it?

So there was a couple items we were looking at.

I think this one.

Unfortunately, the American team managed to grab before us

the radio at the back,

and then Shane and Dianne were eyeing off the chessboard.

I thought this was good. Chess board's great.

Let's take it.

HAMISH: Dianne's looking at the chessboard.

Grab it. Yoink.

No!

I don't even know what yoink means.

But they've taken the chessboard.

I love you both, but it's gone.

Oh, Ben and Eric with the chessboard steal.

Checkmate, Shane and Dianne.

It is a lot of brown, but we can do this.

Over here. So what do we do?

When doing a replication

you are limited in what the Lego bricks can do.

How would you do the texture?

It all comes down to the shape

and the shine of the bricks.

Table. Let's go.

Let's try that.

Let's do it?

(LAUGHTER) Oh, Caroline have gone bold.

The cake.

Oh, it's a cross-stitch picture.

Knowing that this is an elimination

is going to change our approach a bit.

Because we like to take risks.

This part is also really hard.

We also have to play a little safe.

Just a little bit.

It's really hard to pick an object.

Your eyes seem to be hungry,

but your hands have nothing in them.

What about our priceless works of art?

We have a lot of beautiful art here.

I actually really like that one.

We'll take it. Sold!

(DING)

We'll have to get started. Au revoir.

Au revoir, monsieur.

I hope they have that part. I hope so too.

Let's go see.

It's just how exactly we're going to mount it.

We're gonna need so much brown.

Do you need these?

And they do.

(THEY CHEER)

Felix, here, look at this.

I lived in a German bakery.

Like it's really similar to a boulangerie.

When I come home, I always have cakes and bread.

So yeah, I love this theme.

The challenge today is to replicate the item

from the French boulangerie.

Which is two suitcases,

and inside one suitcase is knitting stuff.

What's the easy bit? What's the hard bit?

Um, like this case is really hard to do.

Like, not like a straight shape. The curves too, isn't it?

Like even the top here is curved. It's not like straight.

Yeah that's true.

The suitcases, I think, are really hard,

because I have to look at every detail on the suitcase.

But the hardest part, we have to build,

like all stuff inside of the suitcase,

like four balls of wool.

This one, it's going to be pretty difficult

because I don't have these colours.

But having the big brick feels amazing.

CHORAL SINGING: # Oh. #

I think it's pretty awesome that we won like three times now.

When you want to win the brick again,

you have to go like with a risk.

I'm pretty confident that you can make it, Felix.

I feel like we were meant to get this one.

I love this one. Building legs.

They may be attached to a table, but they're still luscious.

Repetition. Repetition. Repetition. Repetition.

Stay vigilant, Eric.

It's the repetition that'll get you.

That's not a nut...

That's a not a nut. ..this is a nut.

Felix and Angelina have the big brick yet again.

Yeah.

Three times now.

It's time to take it off them.

I want to be the first Australian team to get that brick.

That's why we've picked the most difficult item.

Talk to me about this decision. I want to know.

Look, we went wood grain is very hard to do.

Yeah.

A wood grain pattern isn't just mashing colours

that are similar in this colour palette,

it's actually following a particular pattern

and curves and loops in the right place.

Not like army camouflage that's just random.

You're going to lay the most Lego bricks by far.

Yeah.

Because it's all small bricks. It's all plates.

Yeah. None of it is in bricks at all.

I'm going to give you a huge degree of difficulty,

as I say, I think it's the most difficult one here.

But boy, you're going to have to work hard.

It's kind of dawning on me that

this probably wasn't the best choice.

So close in our hands. I know.

We need to build the wheelbarrow as accurate as possible,

and hopefully trick a special guest into

not noticing that it's made out of Lego.

I'm just going to go for it, Shane. Go for it.

It's a bit scary on an elimination, isn't it?

Yep. Yep.

Look, it's not about giving you a heart attack.

Well, it kind of feels you are.

(LAUGHTER)

Caroline and Camille. Hello.

Why did you choose the cake on the stand?

It was all about the cool flag.

We just wanted to take the flag... Yeah.

..but we had to take the cake and the cake stand because,

actually, we wanted to eat the tropezienne.

I see, it is a beautiful cake.

Camille seems confident, so I think we can do it.

In terms of shape, colour, style,

texture, everything.

It is by far one of the hardest ones to do.

You do know it's an elimination, right?

Even more reason to choose?

The fact is that we are already gone on this thing

and I don't want to give up.

We are quite proud in France.

And we are...

how do you say?

There are a lot of rounded parts.

There are a lot of curves,

so it's definitely one of the most difficult.

Wouldn't be a challenge if we're not doing it difficult, eh?

Yeah. Yeah.

That's it. It wouldn't be a challenge.

(BELL DINGS)

(FRENCH ACCORDION MUSIC PLAYS)

HAMISH: Uh, on the brick.

Monsieur, Blake.

Can I say,

this is so far my favourite setup we've ever done?

We've got pastries. We got coffee.

Strap yourselves in, I'll be here for five hours.

We obviously did do the detective agency last season.

Are the items that have been picked harder?

As a collective, I'm definitely going to say harder.

This particular setup,

perhaps more than last year, we're noticing lighting.

Lighting will play a role.

Well, particularly because Lego bricks is so reflective.

It's going to shine... Definitely.

..if it's brightly lit. OK.

It's a difficult one.

So you like the size? Perfect, two just like that?

Yep, I'm on that.

What's your next figure to challenge yourself with?

Castle? Castle?

Castle.

What did you guys get, Ida?

We got this lovely, lovely cross stitch.

I love it.

We picked the cross stitch embroidery picture

that is in the back in the corner.

It didn't catch our eye immediately. Exactly.

Which might be a good thing when the secret guest comes in.

You know why this is out of our comfort zone.

This time we don't want to attract attention.

And that's usually something we want to do.

When looking at Idas building, it's just going, well.

I like it, I like this. That was nice.

But then looking down at my golden bricks,

they need something to make the frame out of.

Have you seen gold? Over here.

Gold?

No.

When you say gold, what do you mean?

Anything gold. Anything gold.

Oh. Because there's not a lot.

And I kind of feel like there's not as much gold bricks

in the brick pit as I would like.

Oh!

It's a tough one, because I can't seem to figure out

how to build the whole frame.

I think we might be going home today.

I'm fearing the next eight hours

because this is just going to be hell.

Attention, everybody.

I'm going to stop the clock.

Bricks down. Bricks down.

Bricks down, please.

Edith Piaf once famously sang...

'Non, je ne regrette rien.'

I have no regrets.

Whilst that was true for EP, my very good friend,

it might not be true for everyone in here.

So we're going to do something we've never done before.

# #

We are going to offer you a chance...

to swap your item. (GASPS)

If you have some regrette rien...

you may swap.

Do you want to be Edith Piaf and have no regrets?

Or choose another path?

Attention, everybody.

I'm going to stop the clock.

Bricks down.

We're going to do something we've never done before.

We are going to offer you a chance

to swap your item.

(GASPS)

I reckon we're going fine.

Can we get -

can we get one other thing for extra credit?

No, one object only.

No, no? OK.

Just thought I'd ask.

Do you want to go and have a quick look?

HAMISH: You got 60 seconds to make that choice.

If you want to swap, go now.

No, just kidding. HAMISH: Oh, boy.

Just kidding.

It was a fake out.

OK, we have the opportunity to pivot.

This frame is killing me.

You're limited in what gold pieces Lego makes.

I feel that the only way we can do something finished

is by switching.

OK. We'll switch.

HAMISH: 30 seconds.

Wow. Denmark have swapped?

Thank you, Ida. Thank you.

I'm the best partner, I know. Yeah.

Don't want to do that one. HAMISH: 15 seconds.

That one's gonna be easier to do with the frame.

This has just been a life saver, this twist.

The wheelbarrow, it's hard.

It's going to be a nightmare to do.

It's time to change it.

Quick. Quick. Quick. Go the big one.

Big one? Oh, my god.

Are they pointing at the giant painting?

Regrets. Regrets.

If we're going out, we're going out. HAMISH: 10 seconds.

Shano with the swamp.

Dianne has her head in her hands.

No. I'm shocked.

I'm shocked.

This is ridiculous. What's is going on?

Crazy times.

HAMISH: Time is up. BRICKMAN: Alright.

Camille and Caroline have not swapped.

Peter and Ida have swapped from the artwork

to the cupcakes and stamps.

Shane and Dianne have swapped from the mini wheelbarrow

to an even bigger painting than Peter and Ida had.

Dianne: Ah! Dianne, how are you feeling?

In one word? No!

No.

We were not going to get that wheelbarrow done.

It's all woodgrain, which is a nightmare.

Like we're going to have to lay down more bricks

than any other team.

Go, Di!

OK, where are the one by ones flat?

Oh, take my tray.

But we picked a painting that is quite intricate.

It's not as easy as you'd think.

Shane Peter Horvath, what have you done?

How are you going to do the picture, like a mosaic?

Yeah, like a mosaic.

That's going to actually be the easiest part to be fair,

it's the frame is going to be the challenge.

As an Australian, I'm sitting here going,

I don't want him to go home.

And if you snag a win here, what a day for Australia.

Fingers crossed.

The gold pieces,

they don't have as many elements as any other colour.

It's really challenging our technical ability,

how good you are at using

the elements that are provided.

But we can do it.

We've got a lot of work ahead of us.

We're taking a risk,

but if we punch it out and we get this out today,

the risk will be well worth it, yeah.

That's a big painting.

Shane and Dianne may have done themselves a bit dirty

with the last minute change. Yeah.

And they were pointing at the really big paintings as well.

That scared me. That was - it was outrageous.

We got this. Do our best.

No regrets.

We don't want to swap our item with another item.

I'm quite confident that we'll be able to, uh,

have a replication that matches the chess board.

We're definitely playing for Brickman's 20 points.

Three points for not being seen is good, but, you know,

20 points is a lot more than three points.

OK. Who's next?

I think the knight might be your next target.

The knight? Yeah.

The hard part will be

building the chess pieces small enough

that they match the original chess pieces,

while still being able to maintain the shape.

Can you see the vision? I can see the thoughts?

Can you see the vision?

I think I'm happy with that.

So we chose a vintage radio.

This is the type of thing that I like to do.

Brickman is looking for a replica,

so what I love to build at home is like one to one stuff.

I've built like, a chandelier,

and I recently started building vintage toys,

so this is kind of in my wheelhouse.

This is like the first thing we saw in there that was just like -

It's eye catching.

It's the most colourful object in there.

So I think that's kind of fun.

(FRENCH ACCORDION MUSIC)

Strategy at the moment is to get the base and the legs up.

so then we can really focus on the detailing

that's around the said table.

Table team. Oh, my god.

Hello. Are you OK?

Yeah. What happened?

Didn't expect a French person to turn up.

Scared me. Guys, it's me.

Ah, it's just Hamish. It's just television.

Special effects.

Where does your - where does this go?

Right in the corner. Under the flowers.

And then that vase thing goes on top.

OK. That's handy. Not much light.

So it makes it look like it's.... Is that what you thought about.

Yeah, that's definitely what I thought about.

We picked the table because of the location.

Because it's in a dark spot.

There's a vase of flowers on top.

No, but that's a good that's a good thing

because you're trying to camouflage it in there.

The last thing you want to do is be under a spotlight.

I reckon it's going to camouflage it.

Yeah, that will never see it coming.

If we can just get the table to stand and hold the vase.

Hopefully having that on there might fool the surprise guest.

There's no more switcherooing Nope.

Everyone's committed.

So much of this, I feel,

will come down to the fine details, won't it?

But you can't put fine details on something that's not there.

Correct. That's what this next chunk is.

Definitely.

Our Danish team, Peter and Ida,

they gave up the small artwork.

It's a great example that it comes down to

how you feel in the build.

And Peter was just like, "I'm not feeling it."

It was the colour, wasn't it?

As many million bricks as we have in the brick pit,

we don't have infinite of everything.

There's a very limited amount of gold Lego elements.

So he was really struggling with the frame and so he made a call.

Now the reason that they went those was purely colour based,

because those little sweets are very complementary

to the Lego palette.

That's why they went down that path.

Don't you think I should keep it in this height,

and then the bottom can come white? Yep.

HAMISH: Shane and Dianne - we're giving back our wheelbarrow,

we're taking an oil painting.

It's right next to another one that has the same frame.

Correct.

So the eye is immediately got a comparison.

Not only is there the intricacy of the frame that goes around,

there's a light on it.

They need to go at like world record pace, don't they?

Oh. It's got Cathy Freeman vibes.

Now, I don't know if it's because this is an Olympic year.

The odds are against them. Most definitely.

It will offer that whole comeback vibe.

I wonder how much McAvaney'd cost, just for 30 seconds?

Just at the end.

Now the French team, the cake.

Thought about maybe giving it back?

But is it wildly difficult?

I could handle half of the problem.

By making the diameter of the cake,

you could handle making a circle at that correct size,

but the dome on top?

That's hard.

I wish they had a double do over.

I'm quite happy for our stand. I'm happy if you're happy.

So deep. (LAUGHTER)

We get the option to swap, but France, we are brave.

We are not surrendering so easily.

Doing something very rounded is very difficult,

but we are so happy to do the French flag.

It's very challenging for us as French guys

because it's a French challenge.

We have to make the French proud today.

Team tart, the cake is tricky. Yeah.

Unrelated to the cake,

did I hear that you play the nose flute?

Or that you have a nose flute?

What is this?

Ah, you don't know?

I have never seen a nose flute?

I just thought it would be a flute that you stick up your nose.

Blow with your nose,

and you open your mouth to do a resonance?

I don't know how to say. What? Really?

OK, can you do the French national anthem?

Because we can't afford Queen?

No, and also, the French national anthem is our favourite song.

(PLAYS ANTHEM)

OK, that was very patriotic.

Suck on that, Les Mis.

That was France to the max.

Trying to get that thing on here.

You push and I push. Sure.

There we go.

(SINGS AND PLAYS POORLY) # Halfway you are halfway. #

Or as we say in France...?

Mi-temps? Guys, # Mi-temps. #

(CONTINUES SINGING IN POOR FRENCH)

You are butchering it, mate.

Butchering it.

We haven't done France a lot of favours in this episode.

No, we haven't done France a lot of favours.

We might have lost the Olympics for Channel Nine.

Don't say that.

Still, until we get the phone call...

(CONTINUES SINGING) Halfway.

Oh, my goodness.

Faster. Faster.

That probably took me like...

Yeah.

11? 11.

What's going on here?

Right now, I don't think we are on time.

Like there's so much to do.

I'm not finished the first suitcase at all.

There's so much left.

Almost, yeah.

Not 100% happy, but it's OK.

But second suitcase is not finished at all.

The wool is not finished at all.

I don't like it at all.

I think it's ugly, but it's not getting any better.

I know I can do round things,

but it has to look like wool.

Like the wool is very organic.

I'm trying a lot of stuff,

because you just need an idea,

and right now I don't have an exact idea.

We have to build, like, four balls of wool.

It's pretty hard right now. I'm very frustrated.

I figured out the colours because there's a brown one,

but I can't do it in brown, because the suitcase is brown,

and I have, like, a purple one,

I can't do it in purple because we don't have pieces for that.

Well, Lego won't even make half of those pieces.

I was just like at a point where I'm just like.

Like this, they were just too... No cheating. Put it back.

You don't need to make balls.

You just need to make four lumps.

Why not have a flat board and then just do lumps on the top?

I'm not going to pull those out and look at them.

So I'm a little - at a point right now, I'm just...

yeah.

In this challenge, you have to compromise.

And I think this is why this challenge

is the hardest for Annalena right now.

It's not possible to be perfect.

To be unperfect, like,

making not the best you could do in your eyes -

that's the challenge for Annalena right now.

HAMISH: Coming up. There we go.

..stunning Lego creations that have to be seen to be believed.

We got this, we got this.

I think we have come around it nicely.

It might be able to fool someone's eye.

It's a lot of pressure.

I don't know how to do the thing. We want to do Australia proud.

Yeah.

But which one will fool our special surprise guest?

No way.

Ah, far out, nothing looks like Lego.

(ACCORDION MUSIC)

I'm trying to get that thing.

Come, come.

(SMASH)

Are you OK?

Sorry. Well done.

Caroline, well done.

I'm starting to feel this build.

I was starting to feel it, I love it.

That's nice.

Really love that the cake stands.

That both of them do like this.

Today we're going to do a replication challenge

where we have to take an item from the boulangerie

and make a replica.

Roughly the same size.

Roughly the same colour.

We have changed our previous item to cupcakes on a cake stand.

Peter is taking a swing at the cake stand

and I'm trying to figure out the cupcakes.

These cakes are going to be hard to build

because it's a square,

a sphere on top of it with icing.

You know how hard it was to do the string?

I could only imagine.

You know, what's the worst part?

Paper.

Do you know how thin paper is?

Do you think they will actually recall that they were wrapped?

Wrapper? No. No wrapper.

No, it wasn't wrapped.

This wrapper.

That's really tricky that wrapping. Yeah.

So now I'm working on, you know,

trying out different techniques

and then I'll settle for the one I like the most.

Do you care about the person spotting your object?

I just want to show you something.

That's pretty obvious.

She's way easier to replicate than that.

Yeah.

But apparently we like to do it the hard way, you know?

I love your spirit.

The chances are really big that the special guest

is going to spot our build, because it's right in the middle.

He's still nodding.

So we need to replicate it as good as we can.

I feel that we're going for Brickman's man's points in this one.

Yes.

OK, let's work on the next part of the frame.

Yep.

Well, what's happening at this point in the build -

we're um, constructing the frame.

It's pretty hard replicating things.

Like, there's only so many Lego elements.

There's only so many Lego colours.

I mean, we picked a painting that is quite intricate.

I think one of the other teams was concerned about the amount of gold

on the frame and the lack of gold bricks,

but it's really about how good you are at

using the elements that are provided,

and then find the way to use the bricks.

Right, that's a corner for you to replicate.

OK.

We also need to consider the mosaic.

There's a lot of trial and error

into what looks good and what doesn't.

I essentially make a template so I can

just work on one little bit at a time.

It's a lot easier to work on smaller squares.

The biggest issue that we're going to have

from the guest judge seeing it is that it looks blocky,

and we've got to try and trick the eye as much as we can.

One hour in. Yeah.

You give back a tiny wheelbarrow... Yeah.

..that no one was enjoying.

To then go and pick an oil painting after Denmark themselves...

Yeah.

..the home of Lego refused the oil painting.

This had either insanity... Yeah.

..or glory written all over it.

Would it make it even sweeter knowing that Denmark

didn't have the guts to do a painting?

It would definitely make my day.

The international teams have all built on TV before,

but I think we're nipping them.

It would be a big move.

It's been Germany, Denmark so far

and for Australia to be... give us the painting.

Give us that bloody painting. Give us that bloody painting.

Give us one three times bigger than you.

It costs $50,000 if I sing 'Thunderstruck' by AC/DC.

Yeah. It's just so expensive.

But we can think it. We can think it.

Everyone thinking the start. Yeah.

Keep building. Hopefully that's pumped you up.

That has definitely pumped us up. Definitely has.

HAMISH: Brick man,

just to reiterate, here's how it's gonna work.

We put them all in here.

Our special guests either detects them or doesn't.

They will then win three points if they're undetected,

after that, then it's down to you judging each build out of 20.

Definitely.

Of which the degree of difficulty given the object they've chosen,

and its location comes into play.

We're coming up pretty soon to one hour to go.

I'm going to allow you to say two teams here.

Oh. Who needs to turn things up?

I think Haley and Charlie.

Hold still, hold steady.

Have they left themselves enough time to do the top?

That's the challenge for them.

And I think our French team.

This maybe too rounded. Um...

I have no question that they will turn something in.

They do have a part of a dome there now.

The problem is it's covered in studs.

And I just think in that spot, stud is so hard.

Studs are the thing that gives away that it's Lego.

That's true when you look at the successful builds

in these kinds of challenges,

the studs are covered up, that really is the beginning.

No studs. Definitely. Yeah.

Can they be less rounded?

Madames and monsieurs... un hour.

One hour to go.

There's no way to build in one hour.

(ALARM)

Alright, all about replication.

It's about taking your object and making sure

it's absolutely perfect.

Take no notice of my poorly dressed mime friend here.

One hour.

One hour.

One hour.

Just kidding.

How much? One hour.

This one.

We're building a vintage radio.

Right now I'm just trying to...

figure out how to attach it all together.

Attach it together, and then work out the fine details.

I think the dial on the front would be

probably the hardest part.

Yeah, the dial is so hard.

One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten, 11, 12.

We finished off all the chess pieces,

so now we need to get the details on the top done.

In the last hour it's just getting this floral pattern and the string.

It's all about getting this pattern in.

This string is so freaking annoying to work with.

Annalena is focusing on the second suitcase,

and I want to figure out how I can make

the detailing on the first yellow suitcase.

I think it's straight.

It's not rounded.

I'm working on the base of the stem.

We are worried about the cake,

because for the moment it looked like a burger.

Right now we are asking ourselves

if it was the good choice.

Yes, we feel the pressure on our shoulders because of...

the French side of this challenge.

It is very difficult to replicate

because there are a lot of curves, and it's also shiny.

As today is an elimination, yes, it's stressful.

Sweating up a storm.

It's OK, babe, we got this.

Don't stress.

The time is creeping up very quickly,

but the legs have finally been finished.

Now we need to somehow put this thing on.

Oh.

Now we need the top of this table to hold it together,

because it has flowers on top of it.

Alright, so should we do the almighty flowers?

Hang on. Oh, it looks really good.

Let go. Dude, dude.

Hey, Brickman. Hey, Brickman.

We got a table.

Well, the problem is, it doesn't look like that.

What?

Of course it doesn't look like that.

Hold up the real table next to it.

Let's just be positive. Dude. Brickman.

Doesn't look anything like it.

The legs aren't the same height,

the top's not the same.

The challenge isn't make a table.

The challenge is replicate. Oh.

Run!

I don't know how to do the top.

Today, Brickman is looking for the best replication

of whatever item you choose.

Can we do slopes?

But we still don't have a table.

Brickman's advice was to get the height

because it wasn't at height,

and definitely put these extra parts in it,

because otherwise it doesn't match

what we're supposed to be building.

We just need to smash something out

that sort of resembles it.

I'd make the whole thing solid.

And then we'll plate the top and tile the top.

Not only are we representing Australia,

we're representing women of Australia.

It's a lot of pressure.

We want to do Australia proud.

Yeah.

Alright.

# Do it for Australia (LAUGHTER)

# Do it for Australia. #

We are trying to do for Australia.

How about you annoy Germany?

OK.

# Don't think about Australia

# Don't think about Australia

# Australia is coming for you

# Hey-hey hey-hey

# Here comes Australia

# Oh, try not to think of failure

# As Australia's goal for you. Woo-hoo!

# Woo-hoo! #

That's the third verse of our national anthem.

There's so much to do.

Like, the second suitcase is not finished.

And we have to do a lot of work right now.

The wool is not finished at all.

Brickman says to just make the half of it

because you just can't see what's under it.

So that's what I'm building right now.

I'm putting so much pressure on myself,

because I always want to do the best possible for me and for Felix.

I only want to finish the build so I'm not thinking about

how it's looking good or it's like a good replicate.

It's only about finishing right now.

Ten minutes to go, everyone.

Ten minutes to go.

And Brickman,

am I right in saying this is the most tense

last ten minutes I reckon we've had so far.

Most definitely.

As we all know, unfortunately,

today one team will be leaving us.

We got this, we got this.

# #

Peter, could you be a darling

and come and check out our cupcakes?

You have built the cake stand.

I have built a lot of cupcake stuff.

It looks convincing. And delicious.

I think the hardest part so far has been building folded paper.

I find some pieces that we can actually use on the sides -

grill tiles - that will give us this papery feel.

Definitely the hardest part of this build.

Yeah. Um...

I think we have come around it nicely.

I wouldn't eat them if I saw them.

Yeah. But close.

But, you know, from a distance.

But standing ten metres away... Yeah.

It might be able to fool someone.

I feel that it's looking OK. Good.

It looks identical.

I know, but that dial is driving me nuts.

So we have the whole radio done,

with this dial is still problematic.

We're actually both working on the dial because

we're trying to figure out which one we like.

So we're making a bunch of different kinds.

The dial is clear and so we're trying to use clear parts,

but that doesn't look right.

It's also silver in some lights and gold and other lights.

Today is an elimination.

So we just want to make sure it's like perfect.

Dial is like the worst.

Do you think the cake look like the cake?

No.

The top of the cake is not good at all.

Yes, only problem is the top of the...

We are trying to figure out how we can fix the cake.

We have to hide all the visible studs.

Do you think something like that is good?

At this point, we will need the three points from the guest.

I'm a bit worried for it being spotted.

I think we're more playing for the 20 than the three,

but hopefully the judge is looking far,

and not close up when trying to spot the item.

One minute, last minute.

I'm proud of what we've done.

I'm really proud.

We could have done with the hour that I guess

we wasted at the beginning.

Like if we had that extra hour, you know,

we could have worked a little bit more on the mosaic,

but I'm happy with what we did.

Close to the wire, this one.

Oh, my god. Sorry.

Oh, no. What was that?

That is the side.

HAMISH: Ten, nine, eight,

seven, six, five,

four, three, two, one.

That is it. Whoo-hoo.

That is it, we're hearing a whoo-hoo from Dianne!

We got hugs in Denmark.

We got hugs all over.

That is a huge effort, everyone.

They look unreal and that is the most intense

it's been in here so far on Lego Masters.

Well done, everyone.

We started with just seven everyday boulangerie items.

We now have seven incredibly realistic Lego builds as well.

They look awesome.

You definitely deserve a round of applause.

Well done. (APPLAUSE)

Here's how it's going to run.

We're going to put your Lego built items

back into the boulangerie.

Our special guest will come in and they'll have a minute

to scan and identify seven objects.

Hopefully, they don't identify yours

as something that is built of Lego bricks.

But before that happens, Brickman,

you're going to take a closer look.

Shane and Dianne, why don't we start with you guys?

Come on up.

At this stage,

I'm actually feeling a little bit emotional

because it looks so good.

In eight hours it's pretty amazing.

There's so much on the line.

We want Aussies to pick up a win so bad.

Coming up...

One of the hardest things, I think,

to try and replicate.

I feel like this is your best one so far.

HAMISH: But which one will fool our special guest?

And it is time to go to Paris.

Um...

Oh, it can't be.

I think it's the - no way!

Shane and Dianne. Let's see.

Representing Australia,

the tale of the tiny wheelbarrow.

Not interested after one hour,

you swapped items.

So then, with eight hours left,

you went back in and performed

one of the most audacious things I've ever seen,

which is snatching a much bigger painting

than the one that Team Denmark was putting back at the same time,

to go, we're going to do the painting.

Now that it's done and you're looking at it,

what are our thoughts?

Proud as punch.

Absolutely proud as punch.

Our painting's magnificent.

The frame turned out way better

than I was expecting it to turn out.

I'm so proud, so proud.

Brickman, what are your favourite bits?

If you look very closely around the frame,

we've got a lot of nice part usage in this, haven't we?

The effect is called greebling,

invented by the folks who did Star Wars,

where basically you just get all sorts of crazy shapes and parts,

and put them into make some sort of a pattern.

And the corners and the middle of the paintings are exactly that.

They're basically all just gold greebles.

Just looking at some of the pieces here on the side,

we have Jafar from Aladdin's staff, but in the middle we have

King Neptune from The Little Mermaid's trident.

So a beautiful nod, I think, to two wonderful films.

Yeah. I'm in art critic mode.

Well, it's the beret, isn't it? The beret brings out on me.

And I'm sure there's many other film references in there as well.

Brickman, let's talk about the oil painting part.

Eight hours meant this is your only choice.

This is the only way you could have possibly gone

in making a mosaic.

In terms of a difficulty,

I think this is the second most difficult here

behind Camille and Caroline's cake.

Good job. Incredible stuff.

Good luck up there. Well done, guys.

Team Denmark, Peter and Ida.

Let's take a look at these delicious treats.

We scratch the painting after an hour

in the swap amnesty that happened.

Now standing here, was it a good decision?

Yes.

We actually replicated cupcakes, and a cake stand,

and a piece of paper,

and it actually looks really delicious.

We really have to feel the builds when you're building,

because otherwise it will be a long nine hours.

90% of our builds is having fun.

Those stripes or chocolate swirls are the key to fooling

our mystery guest for the three points,

because they just don't look like Lego bricks.

The second thing is the paper on the outside.

That's one of the hardest things,

I think, to try and replicate.

So I think you did well there.

We've really tried to make it offset

and just not being like straight up and down.

This is right up at the top in terms of difficulty,

not only from a technical perspective,

but the location of which you've chosen is frightfully obvious.

HAMISH: Let's just hope hiding in plain sight

is a successful policy for you guys.

Good luck. Good luck.

Thank you.

(APPLAUSE)

Another one of our Aussie teams, Ben and Eric.

The chessboard is the first thing someone will look at.

But you still did go for it. Yes.

Do you think you're in with a fighting chance of fooling the eye?

I hope they just look long and not short.

There is literally Lego bricks going

in every imaginable direction.

The NPE of the Lego elements in terms of the pieces.

So that's the knight or the horse?

Yeah, I prefer horse as well.

I mean, if we were to look at some of the elements here,

this particular rounded piece here,

Star Wars droid head.

I feel like we're just starting to see

your Lego builds come out a little bit.

I feel like this is your best one so far.

Well done, guys, great job. Awesome, guys.

Alright, team USA, Krystle and Michelle.

Radio world.

Where does this rank for you as a as a replication.

I love it.

The challenge is the dial.

The dial is the hardest part of this whole build by like a mile.

The dial didn't exactly turn out exactly how I wanted

just because of the colour.

It's hard. Really tough to replicate.

Like super tough.

How many versions did you do? Six.

There you go. Yeah.

There you go.

It isn't a relatively prominent position.

Do you think you're going to get spotted?

I would like to say no. I love the confidence.

Good luck, ladies. Well done.

Thank you, guys.

(APPLAUSE)

Team France, Camille and Caroline.

I know it's going to be difficult for us.

OK.

Because, uh, it's easy to recognise that it's Lego.

We are worried.

Let's see, Camille and Caroline, Team France.

I know it's going to be difficult for us because

it's easy to recognise that it's Lego.

What drew you to the object in the first place?

Why did you pick it?

It's a flag. The flag?

Yeah, definitely.

(FRENCH ANTHEM)

We've created a magic moment with a wonderful patisserie

with a little flag on it.

This stand is difficult because it's very, very rounded.

Mm-hm. There are a lot of curves.

The whole thing is hard to replicate.

We are quite proud of our build.

This was a tough one.

The hard part, of course, is the dome of the cake itself.

It's got a crisscross pattern in it.

It's in a colour that, you know,

not a lot of Lego parts come in those slopes and shapes.

It's so hard.

In terms of the stand, the shape of the stand,

first doing this, then doing that.

How is that as a solution?

I think the technique that you went with

absolutely works for what it is.

It's such a hard shape to do.

Is it close to the real object?

That's the difficult part.

But I'm struggling to find a way that

I would have approached that.

You have the hardest object here, OK,

of that, there's no doubt.

Even with that,

I think you're going to need the three points.

The three points is going to guarantee your safety.

The cake, not good at all, but flag quite good.

We just wanted to put the original cake on our stand

because we really liked our stand. Yes.

OK, our German's, Felix and Annalena.

(APPLAUSE)

You did something,

I don't think Brickman or I were expecting anyone to do,

which is to take two things.

We wanted to take a risk this time

so we could only take the brown suitcase with the

inside everything, the wool and everything.

But we were like, OK, nine hours,

OK, we can do it.

We can do another suitcase.

And I think it was worth it.

Brickman, are you glad that they did that?

Heck, yes. Brickman's glad.

Phew.

We built two suitcases and the wool is looking good.

I'm very happy that I like,

compromise and finish the wool ball.

The suitcases, I think, are really hard,

because there are a lot of details.

We took a risk and it worked out pretty good.

We saw a different side to you two,

that we hadn't seen before on the show.

Stressed. Yeah.

Where you did struggle was in the balls of wool.

Yeah.

Very difficult.

You had to make some compromises because the Lego elements

just don't exist in that colour.

But who would have thought that knitting would be so accurate?

I think what impresses me the most about this build is,

it's the little things.

The rivets on the yellow suitcase.

Degree of difficulty? Yes.

I'm going to put this one at the third most difficult.

The third most difficult. Indeed.

The wool, those balls of wool

and the knitting pattern in there

certainly makes it one of the more difficult objects.

Alright, so again, not playing it super safe.

Good job.

(APPLAUSE)

It's very hard to say if it's getting spotted

by your special guests,

because it depends on the light where you are.

So we will see how it turns out at the end.

Our last Aussie team Charlie and Haley.

Whoo, whoo, whoo, whoo, whoo. (APPLAUSE)

Your build reminds us of one from last year.

The hat stand didn't quite get finished in the end.

Just ran out of time. Just ran out of time.

And you guys were looking like that.

For a moment there it was a bit touch and go.

I love that it's in one piece. That's a good start.

We can proudly say we made a table.

The table does stand on its own.

You guys spent a lot of time finessing -

getting it right.

There is a Lego colour which is better suited,

which is the dark brown.

However, it comes in very few Lego elements.

So I think you absolutely had to go with this colour.

And if we were to just focus from here down,

I think you've absolutely nailed it.

You can see some great part usage.

Let's talk about here up.

This is difficult because I don't really look the same.

On the real object four legs,

they basically go outside and you've kind of gone inside.

It is a replication challenge.

How much do you think you need the three points?

A lot. Yeah, I think we need it.

Quite a bit. Definitely need the three points.

We're disappointed in what we delivered today.

Hoping we can get bonus points,

because that's the only thing that's going to save us today.

# #

The moment has come.

All that remains is for the much anticipated special guest

to come through the door.

This year because it's French themed.

We thought we'd get none other...

than Sophie le Monk.

(LAUGHTER)

(ALARM)

(BICYCLE BELL) Ooh la la.

Bonjour.

# #

Watch out, I'm gonna go round.

Soph. Oh, no.

Oh, just just just dismount.

I mean, are you gonna try and turn?

Oh, mate, mate.

OK. I'm coming, I'm coming.

I'm so sorry. No, that's alright.

I haven't ridden in a while. No, in your own time.

OK, and... Soph le Monk.

(APPLAUSE)

I'll take the bike. OK.

Oh, my god.

Easy.

There we go.

Welcome back, Soph.

Hello.

Massive welcome again.

Thank you for having me. Well, we love you.

Have you been to France?

No, but I do love their towers. Gorgeous.

Yeah. I like French fries.

I like croissants.

Yeah, all the French stuff.

Camille and Caroline, like... that's us.

Yes, true.

Well, so get ready to go to France,

because behind you is a hyper realistic boulangerie,

which, of course, is bakery. OK.

In there are seven things that will seem real -

same as last year, but our Lego builds.

OK.

What do you remember from last year's guessing.

Not being very good and reading comments online that people

couldn't believe that I couldn't pick some of them,

but also there was like a massive hat stand

that you wouldn't think there's even enough Lego to make that.

So I think, don't underestimate it could be anything.

Yeah, right.

So if you catch your brain going, I couldn't be that...

Couldn't be that - it could be. Go back to that.

So here's a here's how it's going to work.

You get to just name seven items.

And once you lock in an item... Yep.

Then it's done, then it's locked in. Alright. Got it.

Can't take it back. I hope I don't let you guys down.

You don't want me to pick it, do you?

It's a strange one. No, just pick, like,

seven different chairs would be nice.

These guys would love you to not turn around.

Oh, OK.

But it is time to go to Paris.

You have 60 seconds,

we need seven items.

OK. Go.

Uh, the, uh...

Uh, far out.

Nothing looks like Lego.

# #

You have 60 seconds,

I'm starting the clock. Here we go.

We need seven items and it is time to go to Paris.

Go!

Ah, the checkers board.

Chess board is locked in. Chess board.

Uh uh, that red stereo thing. Red stereo locked in.

That cake? Which one?

With the flag. Locked in.

Um...

It can't be artwork.

What else is...? Oh, it can be, I think it's the...

No way, it's... the ballerinas. 30 seconds left.

Ballerinas locked in. Far out.

Um, I can't see anything that can be -

I'm just gonna have to -

It's not a chair obviously. It's a, um.

Uh, far out.

Nothing looks like Lego.

Um, it's not the floor. It's not the floor.

It's not the floor.

There's three more in there. Three more in there. OK.

It's a croissant.

Croissant locked in.

The weigher machine. Weighing machine locked in.

Um, it's... 10 seconds.

It's not going to be the cash register.

Uh, the blue pot. The blue pot.

Blue pot, that's seven. OK, OK, OK.

Wait, wait, wait, wait. Three, two, one...

Time's up. That's it.

The seven are locked in. That was so hard.

Why are you laughing?

Some happy, some sad.

Oh, OK.

Alright, Soph, do you want to come and have a look at

what you suspected could be a Lego build?

Is this going to be embarrassing? No, no.

OK. I think you've done pretty well.

Is that Lego? It is Lego.

But that's brilliant.

So unfortunately Team Australia, Ben and Eric.

So sorry.

Only because I didn't think you'd have that at a coffee shop.

No, no it's fine, it's fine.

Oh, yes. You did suspect this was Lego.

Yes. Um...

I thought it might be a nut cake, but it's not nuts, it's Lego.

From Team France, Camille, Caroline. Sorry.

Unfortunately... Don't worry.

..no three points. Oh, and it's your country.

But next door to it.

They're Lego?

God, they look yummy.

Yay! Yay!

Team Denmark! Peter and Ida, well done.

(APPLAUSE)

You also picked a croissant? Yeah.

That is Lego bricks. It is?

It's not. I was gonna say.

That's a real croissant.

Then the painting.

I know, but that is brilliant, right?

What was the giveaway there?

The little diggy, diggy, diggy. Diggedy, diggedy, diggedy.

Yeah, those things. Yeah.

The frame's actually Lego, too. No, it's not. That's crazy.

Shane and Dianne, team Australia,

you don't get the three points,

but for a second, the frame - we had her.

You picked the blue jug. Oh, no.

I just thought because I've seen that blue in Lego.

That's not Lego.

Picked the red radio. That is Lego, right?

That is Lego. It's very good, though.

But then next door to it,

the suitcases and the knitting.

And the whole thing is?

That's all Lego.

That's pretty good. Wow.

Both those suitcases are Lego. Are they?

OK, who did that?

From Germany... Well done.

..that is three points to Felix and Annalena.

Unfortunately, team USA, Krystle and Michelle,

missing out on the three points with the radio.

There's one thing left.

Can you see it?

Am I hot? You're warm.

You're warm. Warmer, warmer.

We could be here for a while.

(LAUGHTER)

And warmer here? You are warm.

You're quite warm there. Really?

Getting quite hot.

Quite boiling. Are you kidding?

Oh, wow. OK, this. Yeah.

The table. Wow, that's sturdy, isn't it?

(LAUGHTER) CONTESTANT: It's not.

Charlie and Haley... It's really not, don't touch it.

You got the three,

you thought was gonna get found straight away.

You got three points. (APPLAUSE)

Well done, everyone.

Felix and Annalena, you have the big brick,

we need to take that back now

before we find out who won the big brick.

Whoa! The one man lift.

I've never seen that done before. Lovely job.

Thank you, Felix.

Let's find out who our top two teams and ultimately,

who has taken out the big brick today.

OK, the first team that I would like to call forward

is no stranger to this brick.

Of course, it's our German team, Felix and Annalena.

(APPLAUSE)

And the second team I would like to call forward is...

our Danish team, Peter and Ida.

For degree of difficulty, Peter and Ida,

I thought choosing something on the display cabinet

was a very bold choice.

Therefore you got 17 points

plus the three, of course, got you 20.

Felix and Annalena, your build, on the other hand,

was a bit easier in terms of how well it was hidden,

but making wool out of Lego bricks very, very tricky.

I gave you 18 points,

plus the three got you 21.

Thanks. Thanks.

HAMISH: Straight at it, straight at it.

It is crazy because I was never expecting this

when we arrived in Australia -

to win, like four times in a row,

a challenge, it's so crazy.

Felix and Annalena, you have the brick again.

Also, Pete, Ida, well done. You guys are safe.

SOPHIE: Well done, guys.

We got two teams safe over this side.

We have five teams remaining, but it's an elimination.

For one team it is the end of their Lego Masters journey.

Brickman, who are in our bottom two today?

Alright, we got two teams safe over this side.

We have five teams remaining. Brickman, in third place?

On 17 points,

Ben and Eric.

Alright, lovely work, boys.

Fun fact if you'd have got the bonus three,

you would have been in second place.

Sorry. It's fine, Sophie.

Don't worry about it, it's fine.

On 16 points is...

Shane and Dianne.

(APPLAUSE)

Three teams remain.

Who's the next team that's safe?

The next team safe, also on 16 points is...

Michelle and Krystle.

(APPLAUSE)

HAMISH: Well done, Team USA.

That was scary.

Five teams safe, two teams remaining,

from Australia, Charlie and Haley,

and Team France, Camille and Caroline.

For one team it is the end of their Lego Masters journey.

So Camille and Caroline by far the hardest object

out of our seven objects.

So your degree of difficulty was sky high.

And as such,

with a great job that you did, I gave you 15 points.

So, Charlie and Haley,

you guys struggled today with the object.

You really hit some challenges in your journey.

For your build...

I gave you...

13.

And with Sophie's three votes means that you're safe today.

Unfortunately, Caroline and Camille,

I'm really sorry.

# #

(GENTLE SOBBING)

# #

It's been great.

Guys, we're so sorry to see you go.

How are you feeling?

Oh, don't be sorry.

It's fair.

We've loved having you guys here.

It feels ultra sad because it's the French episode

that we have to...

That we have to say goodbye to you guys.

What's been your memories from your time?

Everything. Everything.

We got so lucky having you guys on the show.

You're super fun, contestants.

You built incredible stuff

and watching you as brother and sister enjoy your time,

and enjoy your builds, and the creativity you have.

It was awesome, so thank you.

Thanks for giving that to us. Thank you.

And look at the impact you've had.

Like he's getting emotional.

This is so beautiful.

So it shows how lovely you both are.

Guys thank you so much for being part of

Lego Masters Australia vs The World.

You have represented France with huge honour.

Maybe it was too hard for us,

but we are quite proud not to leave an easy object.

BRICKMAN: Thanks, guys, merci.

Au revoir. HAMISH: Au revoir.

It's nice because we've been closer after Lego Masters.

It's the most happiest moment of my life.

Don't worry. Don't worry. (LAUGHS)

Don't worry at all.

You feel like we are your favourite?

That's what you wanted to say.

That is what I wanted to say.

CAMILLE: The thing I am the most proud of is imagination.

We came to Australia to have fun and we had fun.

(PLAYS THE FRENCH ANTHEM)

Tomorrow night... Oh.

You will battle other brick bots to the death.

History will be written in our first

international bot battles.

We are going to crush the others today.

Testing skill. Far out.

Does that look scary? And brute strength?

Punch it. Oh, wow.

Could Germany's domination finally slip?

I think this time the best of us is not enough.

(ROARS)

Australia will put their bots on the line...

Three, two, one, fight!

ALL: Woah!

..as they take on the world.

Whoo!

(SHOUTING)
