Original subtitles

HAMISH: Previously...

OK, alright. Do it.

..Owen and Scott, out of nowhere, just smashed their build in half...

Oh! Oh, damn!

..in a cut-in-half challenge...

Oh, god.

..that created a whole lot of panic...

Once we tilted it...

Like that. ..it all made sense.

..and creativity.

I just want to call it 'Cha-ching'!

This fun has come through the build!

This is the best Lego model

that we have seen on Lego Masters this year.

HAMISH: Yet in the end,

Owen and Scott managed to pull out an amazing gramophone build...

..sending Anthony and Jess home.

(GASPS OF AMAZEMENT)

HAMISH: Tonight...

Everything's cool.

You've got to make a build that's perfectly weighted

to be hovering from these balloons.

..we make Lego builds fly.

They're the only team going for something that moves.

I love it!

(BUZZERS) HAMISH: Then in the elimination...

(APPLAUSE AND CHEERING)

..we're going big...

This elimination build is called, "Go big or go home."

(LAUGHTER)

Here we go.

..and we've got the country's best height consultant on hand

to give some truly invaluable advice.

I've got a design degree on the wall.

Design is not finished

till there's nothing left to take away.

Sorry about that, guys. I'll leave you with that.

(APPLAUSE AND CHEERING)

(LAUGHTER) Hey, guys!

Everything's cool. (LAUGHTER)

Ignore this momentarily.

Oh, my god!

Welcome to another ep of Lego Masters.

How's everyone feeling?

(APPLAUSE) Yeah, good.

Another huge episode ahead of us.

Sarah and Fleur, how are you guys feeling?

You've got the platinum brick, I see.

Yeah, we're planning on holding onto it for a little bit longer.

I mean, last episode,

you believed you were going to be in the bottom two...

Yep. ..and you were,

and you decided not to play the platinum brick. Huge move.

Yes.

And now, there's only five teams left.

Scott and Owen, last build, there was some tense times.

How are we feeling?

Really hoping we won't hear that elimination word today.

Cool. (LAUGHS)

What did you learn last episode?

Um... Don't smash a build halfway through.

I think planning. Planning is good.

Alright. There are two builds today.

Ooh!

The first build, the winner will get a huge advantage

going into the second build.

The second build is an elimination.

I know it's not the word that you wanted to hear, Owen.

You sunk about three feet.

BRICKMAN: Down to four.

HAMISH: Down to a puny four foot.

Would you like to know what the first build is?

CONTESTANTS: Yes! Yes, please.

Alright. Well, it does have something to do

with these extremely powerful helium weather balloons...

(LAUGHTER) ..that I have strapped

to my professional-grade stunt vest.

(LAUGHTER)

The first build today is called, "Will it fly?"

Alright? You will be building something to be suspended

by one of these balloons.

That's so cool. I want to give you an example.

I want to show you how powerful these helium balloons are.

Brickman, are you ready? Yep.

Are you guys ready to see something truly spectacular?

Yeah.

Pull it down. Pull it down a bit. I've got you, I've got you.

OK.

(LAUGHTER)

Here we go. You ready? Yeah, yeah.

You ready? Yep.

(GASPS)

(LAUGHTER)

Oh, amazing!

Obviously, I'm 90 kg.

I am far too heavy for these balloons to lift.

So, behind me, you will see five giant helium weather balloons.

Each team gets one balloon.

You've got to make a build that's perfectly weighted

to be hovering, suspended from the weather balloon.

So, it's got to be off the ground but below a height limit

and it's got to maintain that altitude for ten seconds.

We're going to do a ten second countdown.

The builds that hover will be judged on aesthetics.

OK, that is how you'll win the advantage.

It's going to be a fun one. Brickman, what are you looking for?

The interesting part about today's build

is you need to put some thought into every single Lego brick

that gets placed on your Lego model.

It's going to push your technical ability.

A loose brick falling off

will spell the end of you in this build.

Alrighty, there is a lot to think about.

I cannot wait to see what we get flying in the air.

To make your flying Lego build, you have five hours.

Your time starts now. Good luck. Go for it, go for it.

Gabby and - oh, yeah. It's...

Sorry, guys.

All curses over to your bench, please.

Gee, you really hope it's the last episode for the curse,

don't you?

Every episode. Yeah.

It's got to happen soon.

I mean, all of Australia is behind you.

"Let's get rid of the brick of doom!"

(THUNDER AND SCREAM)

Good luck. Thank you.

Scotty, nice of you to join us.

Boing, boing.

Hey, guys. Hi, Hamish.

What's your vibe?

Uplifting.

Yeah, you've got to try and stay grounded though in this game.

You've got to keep your feet on the ground.

What are you thinking of doing?

We're thinking maybe a big character

like an astronaut drifting through space or a child.

A space astronaut or a child?

Two - definitely two ends of the spectrum.

One is like, "That's your job." The other one is terrifying.

(LAUGHTER) Yeah.

I hope we're still at the early stages of the brainstorm.

Good luck, guys. (LAUGHS)

I think astronaut.

Yeah, then what? So, we just do...

So, we're going to have this astronaut

and he's fallen out of the airlock of his spaceship

and he's drifting upside down through space

and there's this rope tantalisingly close

and he's reaching and trying to grab the rope

to pull himself back into the spaceship.

Kind of like us and winning this challenge.

Tantalisingly close, hopefully.

Hand, space-legs.

I'll Technic frame this.

If our astronaut is too light,

we can just throw bricks inside his torso

until it's perfectly buoyant.

That's the plan.

Let's get some Technic bits and start blocking something out.

GABBY: Five, four... Thanks, man.

Three, two, one.

Coming in!

Sorry. Sorry, sorry, sorry, sorry, sorry.

Just need a handful of these.

I was thinking... We're definitely not doing...

An animal. Yeah. An animal.

I was thinking a pegasus. Like, a big flying horse.

Oh.

Far out. I like that.

GUS: A pegasus is a mythical creature.

Essentially, a horse with wings.

Then we can play with the wings for weight.

Yeah.

We can add and subtract plates from the wings

to allow it to float rather than to sink or to fly away.

Alright. So, do you want to go pegasus then?

So, I'm building the head and Dave is building the body frame.

We haven't built pink yet.

Beautiful pegasus hair.

Four wins for us now which is pretty significant to us.

This is where it gets interesting.

But we don't want to become complacent,

we don't want to rest on anything.

We've just got to make sure that we do the best we do

and what do we need to have while we build, Gus?

Fun. Yeah, see?

Fun.

Alright. Here we go, Brickman.

This is a fun one. Will it fly?

It's a little bit like the hanging brick challenge we had last year.

Except much harder because you've got to get it perfectly weighted.

Or as we can see, these balloons can be pinned to the ground.

BRICKMAN: Correct. That's right.

Each individual Lego brick needs to have a reason

why it's there because adding weight and in some cases, that's bad.

I hear you say all the time, like, "How well do you know the bricks?"

Now comes, "How well do you know the weight of Lego?"

I don't think anyone would've been expecting that,

coming into this season. BRICKMAN: Definitely not.

But today, that is what will be the difference

between us seeing five amazing flying models

or for the first time ever on Lego Masters,

going, "Well, you're all disqualified"

"and no one gets the advantage."

So, it's kind of like...

Yeah. I'm with you, I'm with you.

Give me some more of that. Just more, deeper, deeper, deeper.

Deeper. All good.

Fellas.

Hamish. How's it going? Look at this.

Is this self-portrait?

Yeah, that's me.

Yep. That's Lego Harry.

Harry's been little bit unlucky in love,

so our idea today is going to represent Harry's love life.

We're going to have a girl hanging off the front of the balloon,

trying to float away from Harry

as Harry is holding on for dear life down the bottom.

Thanks.

(LAUGHS) Is it too hard?

Is that too real? Is that too harsh?

I absolutely adore the idea

of my love life being in a Lego build.

It's all anyone could ever dream of, I'm pretty sure.

He looks terrified, doesn't he?

(LAUGHTER)

Somewhere. Oh, no.

No.

Hashtag too far.

I am incredibly excited to make Lego fly today.

It's very cool and it instantly makes me think of a flying machine.

Ryan and Gabby, hello.

Hi. Hi, Brickman.

Tell me your idea.

So, it's going to be the marvellous man

with his marvellous flying contraption.

Ah! Awesome.

Think Da-Vinci-esque

but probably a little bit more corny.

Early days of flight.

GABBY: Our pilot has to be the cliched early man of flight.

I want a big bushy moustache and flying goggles.

RYAN: I really want to have flapping wings and I want his legs to pump.

Are we going power functions?

Not at all. Yeah, we are.

I'm worried about the whole weight idea with the power functions.

I'd probably, if I were you, test a lot and see how you go.

The battery pack is a pretty heavy item.

Yeah, they're pretty...

But I really want to make this fly and look visually impressive.

It's time to take a risk and I guess worst-case scenario,

it just looks like a flying machine that doesn't fly.

Totally. Good stuff, guys.

(LAUGHS) Thank you.

If we get this, it's a two-for-one.

We get rid of the brick of doom

and we get an advantage in elimination.

Oh, wow. Just by chance, look at how balanced it is so far.

So far.

Alright, Gus. Come on, bud.

Come on, Gus.

Gus will be so intimidated by our technical skills

after this build.

He won't even be able to contain himself.

No, he's going to be like, "Are you freaking right?"

He's going to take off his "I am Gus" top

and put an "I am Fleur and Sarah" top on in homage of our greatness.

We're going to do a basket on a picnic blanket.

It's going to have food in it

and little creatures climbing up the basket.

Sarah loves building insects, I love building food.

Let's marriage that up together and make it float.

Are you doing a weave?

Yeah, trying to do a weave.

It's the first time we've ever had basket weaving

in the difficult to weave material of...

Of Lego. ..plastic bricks.

Yes.

This is definitely a first for Lego Masters.

Today, we have to build something that will float in the air

for ten seconds.

OK, do you want to go and test this now?

If more than one team

manage to build something that floats for the ten seconds,

then it would be judged on aesthetics.

'Cause it's pretty light.

Yeah. Well, it needs to be

'cause it's got heaps of stuff to go in it.

So, we're pretty happy that what we're building

at the moment feels pretty light, so we're just going to test it.

BRICKMAN: Ooh.

OK.

So, you're already too heavy without any fruit at all.

It plummets to the Earth.

Ballooning tragedy.

That's going to be a terrible picnic basket if it's empty.

Yeah.

We wanted to build a picnic basket full of yummy food

and a little creepy crawlies but now it's too heavy.

Alright, back to the drawing board a little bit.

I'll take some stuff off it.

We're going to have two reduce the size.

Picnic basket for ten becomes a picnic basket for two.

Although, good news.

Don't you have to build less panels now

because you're kind of almost done.

Less weaving panels?

Well, pretty much. That's the positive in this.

Always look for the pos, guys. It's always there.

(LAUGHTER)

Alright, guys. You're halfway!

Two and a half hours down. Two and a half to go.

Whether you are making baskets or making flying machines

or a magical gorgeous pony,

you are halfway through and they are looking great.

Halfway?

Halfway, halfway!

No! We're excited about this.

I've got a sinking feeling about this.

No, it's pulling up. Just going straight up?

Alright. Big wings.

Cool.

I'm not running.

(LAUGHS) Holding it like baby.

This baby's worth $100,000.

SCOTT: How did that go?

How do I make that work?

OWEN: I'm working on our astronaut.

We've got a torso, some arms, a couple of legs.

Oh, crap.

No hands, no feet, no head.

Scotty, have you got a minute?

Grab your thing. I just want to check weight.

SCOTT: Yep, coming.

OWEN: The most important thing is to make this float.

So, we have to be testing.

It has to be perfect.

If it doesn't look perfect, so be it.

It has to be the right weight.

Dude, we're not good.

That's hovering there.

It's hovering though. The whole thing's too big.

We're halfway, man.

It's pretty game changing.

It means we have to restart.

We can't make the arms shorter or take a little bit out of one leg

or have him as an amputee or anything.

We trash this and we scale the whole thing down.

We start again pretty much.

Far out!

HAMISH: Coming up...

(LAUGHS) This is going to be so close!

HAMISH: What goes up keeps coming down.

You're too heavy.

Oh, my god.

What are you doing to me, picnic basket?

HAMISH: Then... (BUZZERS)

..he's back.

No, they wouldn't, would they?

FLEUR: Oh, my god! I know that jacket!

Oh, my god!

SCOTT: Today's challenge is 'Can it fly?'

You've got to try and make your Lego creation float perfectly

for ten seconds.

That's hovering there.

If it touches the ground, you're disqualified.

If it goes too high, disqualified.

So, you try and balance that weight perfectly.

OWEN: Dude, we're not good. The whole thing is too big.

We trash this and we scale the whole thing down.

We start again pretty much.

Far out!

Are you doing a start-again again?

Yeah, it's way too heavy. Oh, buddy.

We've just tested our man

and he is too heavy already and we're halfway through,

so we're ripping to shreds and scaling it all right down.

I'm not sure if we've got enough time to finish everything

but we're about to find out.

Don't stress.

Two and a half hours is plenty of time.

We've done this much in two and half hours...

And then we undid it all and now, we have to do it all again.

But now, it's going to be smaller, so it might be a bit faster.

Boys, boys, boys.

Yes, yes, yes.

It's almost like you knew something would happen.

I sensed it like an increase

from frantic to like ferocious over here.

Excellent. It's a classic unbuild.

Fans of you guys would be aware

that last episode featured a classic unbuild as well.

Is this a hallmark?

I hope not. I really hope not.

It is exciting to watch Scotty and Owen.

It's like Brickman says.

Once you're sort of happy with your build, smash it.

Smash it up, start again.

Actually, he doesn't say that.

Our build is solid, man.

Holy cow! No wonder it was so freaking heavy.

I told you. You made a brick!

Yeah.

What were you thinking? He's in space, man.

No!

Alrighty, guys, you have got one hour.

(SIREN)

One hour until your contraptions, your machines, your builds,

your people, your animals, mythical or otherwise take flight.

And your picnic baskets. And your picnic baskets.

Yes!

Good luck.

Coming in!

Hey, Ryan. What do you reckon?

(LAUGHS)

Is that alright? I mean, it looks a bit odd.

Is that too odd? I love it!

It's fantastic!

I'm absolutely wrapped with where this build's going.

Gabby's had a fair bit of success with that marvellous man.

It's the classic mad scientist. OK, the flying man. Alright. Yeah.

And I've managed to get two motions

out of the one motor and battery pack

which means that we are not using as much weight.

Cool.

Brilliant.

Do you want to do a weight test with this and the head?

Sure.

We just need to test that it's floating

under this balloon.

Otherwise, we're not even in the running.

Hey, guys. What's going on? It's going steadily down.

He's quite sinky, isn't he?

Our build is slightly too heavy.

He's coming into land.

I think it would make ten seconds but it's a bit of a risk

'cause it's actually drifting downwards.

Taking weight from thigh... It's such a stupid amount of...

But aesthetically, they kind of look like jodhpurs.

That was a good look, wasn't it? I know, it was.

We could maybe just put the tile up there.

What if that's cost to you?

What if Brickman loved the leg thickness?

I could make the scarf shorter?

What if he loved the scarf length?

He probably did.

We don't know what he loves! That's the trade-off.

That's the game! Such a shame he's right there.

If only we could ask.

Five, six...

It's actually not too far away now. That's so close.

Your wings, my Lady.

Testing in this challenge is probably more important

than it's been in any challenge. It's falling.

Is it still falling? Yeah.

You sure? Look at that.

See, just a bit.

(WHISTLES)

A two-by-four. Yeah.

The question is, which two-by-four?

A two-by-four where?

Sometimes - 'cause we've got a scales in our bathroom,

sometimes it can be a poo.

You know, it's deceptively heavy.

You don't think about that. It's deceptively heavy, yeah.

Has she done a wee today?

It's too heavy. Too heavy.

Yep. OK, I'll to take the wicker.

Hold on. Let go for a second.

Yeah, it's too heavy. Too heavy. OK.

BRICKMAN: Too light? Too heavy.

Too heavy? Just too heavy.

So, we're going to take the wicker off which is a shame aesthetically.

You're going to take all the wicker off?

Take it off, take it off. Wicker, wicker. Take it off.

I'll take this side off, you take that side off.

Maybe one wicker, no wicker, two wicker, no wicker.

Now, it's too light.

Oh, my god. Wicker, wicker, wick.

It's insane!

This is just a mind game, isn't it?

Shall we give him huge eyeballs?

That's ridiculous.

Guys, you have got ten minutes.

Dude, I don't think we've got time for this.

You want, in ten minutes time,

to be right on one of your good tests,

so you get ten seconds of solid hover.

Too heavy? Yep.

Literally, the smallest Lego brick will be the difference

between hovering, not hovering or taking off.

I'll just run and get two tiles. Go get two tiles.

With an hour to go, I thought everyone was pretty close.

Now, we've got ten minutes to go,

I feel like a bunch of teams are further away

from getting the right floatiness than they were at the hour mark.

That is the challenge of this build.

Here you go.

Eyes.

No. They're smaller than a block.

No destroying this. Just pull one...

No, detail, detail. I'm not letting you remove the eyes.

We've got ten minutes.

Here you go. Try that.

It's going to be so close!

We need like two more tiles. It's grams.

Mere grams.

Needs a bigger head.

No dice. Alright, let's go.

He's very boxy.

Yeah, there's something about losing half the time

doesn't lend itself to building round heads.

I'm just hoping that it finally floats

and that we can pull this off.

Yeah, he's coming up. OK.

So, I reckon we just slowly add plates till he comes down.

HAMISH: Everybody is now in the testing arena,

using the remaining minutes to find the perfect amount of bricks

to match the buoyancy of your balloons.

How are you too heavy?

Oh, my god!

What are you doing to me, picnic basket?

Three, four... Oh, he's a bit light now.

..five, six.

It's literally the weight of that carabiner.

OK. So, we need like a little bit but not too much.

We have to take and remove and replace one-by-one studs

on the side of the build.

It's not even an elimination and it's pretty tense.

That doesn't bode well for later, does it?

We are at one minute.

One minute to go.

In one minute's time it'll be hands off.

I will count to ten and in those ten seconds,

your model cannot fly away and it cannot touch the ground.

It needs to hover for ten seconds.

(LAUGHS)

If it does, if you're one of the few,

hopefully all that do,

Brickman will be judging the builds on aesthetics.

Alright.

My hands are all good, the pose is right.

We are getting ready to launch whether you're ready or not.

Five, four, three, two, one.

Let go!

Ten, nine, eight, seven,

six, five, four, three,

two - Scott and Owen - one!

I think everyone else made it!

I'm so sorry, Scott and Owen!

I'm so sorry!

I'm so sorry!

I'm so sorry, guys.

Our astronaut crashed back to Earth.

Ah...

Five hours undone in ten seconds.

That's so annoying.

For him to just abandon the team and smash into the ground.

He deserves to be stranded in space.

Guys, five hours, five incredible builds.

You guys should be stoked. Well done.

(APPLAUSE) Unreal.

(APPLAUSE)

We had four take flight.

We sadly had one crashed to the earth.

Ironically, the thing that's most famous

for gaining the highest altitude,

spaceman, was beaten by picking basket.

(LAUGHTER) Yes!

But that's Lego and you can't apply too much logic.

We have been absolutely disgraced by our fellow astronaut.

Scotty and Owen, let's start with you guys.

(APPLAUSE)

Maybe he was an Earthstronaut. Yeah.

No 'astro' for this fellow.

Let's take a knee.

Let's remember a terrific astronaut.

(WONDROUS MUSIC)

HAMISH: It was flying, it was flying.

The world watched in excitement

but the astronaut did touch the Earth with two seconds to go...

..thus disqualifying you.

(LAUGHS)

Brickman, what's your post-mortem?

You guys know you're disqualified, right?

So, you can't win the advantage. OK. Damn.

First off, yes, there's the whole too much weight, not enough weight.

You had a little bit of trouble during the build.

There was a lot of this rebuild action.

I'm getting the feeling this is modus operandi,

normal standard for you guys

to rebuild Lego models halfway through a challenge.

Yep, apparently so.

What's the thoughts on rebuilding?

I mean, the next build's an elimination.

I think this one was a clear-cut, it had to be rebuilt,

it was too heavy, it was too large.

The last was more of a frantic rebuild.

Well, we look forward to seeing what happens in the elimination.

Alright. We can't feel our knees anymore. Let's get up.

(APPLAUSE)

Sarah and Fleur, let's have a look.

(APPLAUSE)

We've just built a picnic basket that is floating away,

filled with treats and goodies and little creepy crawlies.

BRICKMAN: You basically started twice the size...

Correct. Yeah.

..and then you pretty much chopped it down the middle

thanks to the weight.

But that's the nature of the challenge

and I've got to say, who doesn't love a flying picnic?

(LAUGHS) Hey?

Who doesn't love a flying picnic?

It was funny, it was unique and you know what?

I'm super proud of both of you... Oh, thank you.

..for really trying something different.

Yep. Well done today.

Good on you, guys.

(APPLAUSE)

Michael and Harrison.

So, the build today is Harry's love life.

Where she's taking off and he's just holding on for dear life.

Got you. It happened to me. I get it.

That happened to me in high school.

Is the balloon's name Lawrence?

BRICKMAN: I really like the idea

that you're actually using the balloon in the Lego model.

It's fantastic.

Likewise the colours that you've chosen.

They're really bright, poppy. You can clearly see what's going on.

Well done, guys. Awesome, guys. Well done.

Cheers.

(APPLAUSE)

Alright. David and Gus.

(APPLAUSE)

Ah, old Pinky the flying donkey.

One of the worst flying donkeys we've ever seen

but one of the most beautiful pegasuses.

(WINGS FLAPPING)

(HORSE NEIGHS)

The pegasus is a mythical creature

that's just essentially a horse with wings.

(HORSE NEIGHS)

I think you've captured the pose that is a pegasus

and you kind of gave it that majestic look.

Yes, like a landing whoosh.

It just feels like it really gets some air under it

for that like last downdraught it needs

before coming in for the land.

(LAUGHTER)

Anyway, keep judging.

Colours are fantastic.

Using those pinks, purples,

to really make it pop against the white.

Well done, guys. Beautiful build.

(APPLAUSE)

OK, Gabby and Ryan.

(APPLAUSE)

GABBY: We are desperate to get rid of the brick of doom.

We got so close last challenge.

Maybe we can pull it off today.

It was a zany idea right from the beginning

but we thought this will look cool, this will look cool.

(MACHINE POPS AND SPUTTERS)

(MANIACAL LAUGH)

RYAN: Our marvellous man in his flying machine.

Quite the success.

GABBY: It's flying with a battery pack, it's moving.

The motion looks great.

(MANIACAL LAUGH)

It's crazy.

It's amazing it's running off one motor,

which of course I know how to do and I can tell you is not easy.

That's some advanced stuff.

Brickman, what are your thoughts?

I love a contraption.

I don't think there's anyone alive who plays with Lego

who doesn't love a good crazy bonkers type contraption

and he definitely fits that.

There's actually deceptively a lot more happening

from a technical perspective than what you'd think about.

For example, not only using these chain drives,

there's rubber bands,

which are driving the wheels and his legs.

I don't think we've really seen rubber bands used that way

on Lego Masters before.

I'm doing it out the back a little bit

but no one on the show's done it.

True. Yeah, yeah.

BRICKMAN: The look on his face,

the use of minifigure legs for his little handlebar moustache,

I think is great and of those magnifying glasses,

they actually work and not only goggles but a scarf.

Absolutely had to have a flying scarf.

This is a great model and absolutely fits

with what we were thinking when we laid down this challenge.

Well done. Awesome, guys.

Thank you.

(APPLAUSE)

I'm actually proud of what we built.

I just don't know if it stands up against everybody else's.

That's really good, guys. Well done.

I guess we're about to find out.

Guys, five hours, five incredible builds.

Brickman, what are your thoughts? Who are the top two teams?

The winner, of course, taking an advantage into the elimination.

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

..David and Gus.

(APPLAUSE)

No strangers, David and Gus, to stepping forward.

And the second team that I would like to call forward today...

..Ryan and Gabby.

(APPLAUSE)

Not only a shot at the advantage today

but potentially getting rid of your old pal.

It could be the moment but we've been here before.

Hopes have been up... It feels familiar.

..and then hopes have sunk like an astronaut before.

So, who knows?

(LAUGHTER)

BRICKMAN: Aesthetically, two very different builds.

We had a classical sculpture in terms of the pose that it was in.

Almost your trademark build, I feel, David and Gus.

Yet Ryan and Gabby, you went for something with a period feel,

something that kind of made us feel like we were in a point of time.

Both very different but equally, a big tick.

Then it comes down to storytelling.

Absolutely no doubt that our pegasus told a story.

The pose that you had her in was very majestic.

Likewise, our crazy inventor, good luck to him if he survives.

I'm not 100% sure he'd make it

but his motion, the scarf, the goggles,

really did tell a story

and that's why today,

not only did we find a winner but we lose the brick of doom.

(APPLAUSE) Gabby and Ryan, you've done it!

(APPLAUSE)

You've broken the curse!

Oh, my gosh!

(APPLAUSE)

I've been waiting six episodes to do this.

The sacred bag.

Once that brick goes in here,

the curse will be sealed up

and it will no longer affect you guys.

You have laboured under that thing for too long.

For the last time, would you put the brick of doom...

(THUNDER AND SCREAM)

Whoo! ..in the bag.

(APPLAUSE)

The curse is broken!

The curse is broken!

Too many episodes to get here!

I think even more relieved about losing the brick of doom

that I am about the advantage.

If I could put the brick of doom on the balloon

and just let it release, I'd be very happy.

Gabby and Ryan, how does that feel?

You've got your first win on the board.

Weight lifted off our shoulders.

Truly deserved, truly deserved.

I'm sure I speak on behalf of everyone when I say,

hats off and flying hats on

but general hats off to that build.

It was awesome.

So, you have won an advantage

heading into the next build which is an elimination.

Before I tell you what your advantage is,

would you guys like to know what the next build is?

Yes!

Yeah, yeah. OK.

There's a clue coming through the door.

(BUZZER)

Oh, what?

Who's that? I don't know who it is.

No, they wouldn't, would they?

Oh, my god! I know that jacket!

Oh, my god!

They would.

Would you guys like to know what the next build is?

Yes!

Yeah, yeah, OK.

There's a clue coming through the door.

(BUZZER)

Oh, it's a person.

Who is it?

SCOTT: He's fresh.

Oh, my god! I know that jacket!

No way!

No way!

(APPLAUSE AND CHEERING)

(APPLAUSE AND CHEERING)

(PUMPING MUSIC)

Kale! Kale!

(LAUGHS) And he's so cute and snack size.

It's amazing.

Kale struts right on through.

Shooting finger guns at everyone, winking.

The strut was unbelievable.

It was everything I thought it would be and more.

It's Kale!

(APPLAUSE)

It really is.

Still got the jacket.

Yeah. Yeah, it's been gathering dust for six months now.

She's back.

Yeah.

OK. Roll the sleeves up.

We're going to be building something huge, aren't we?

Well, this elimination build is called, "Go big or go home."

(LAUGHTER)

And I think you guys know why Kale is standing here.

For those who didn't see Kale on season one,

famous for going very, very big.

Not always finishing but coining the term, 'Kale Scale'.

Not necessary but let's do a highlights package. OK.

(EPIC MUSIC)

As an artist, sometimes you do get those lightbulb moments

where you just know that you're onto a genius idea.

Simple solution.

We're going huge.

How big's huge?

Let's go mad crazy.

Let's go bold, let's go as big as we can

and just see where it lands.

I could have done it.

Maybe I have gone too big. Who knows?

But I'm not going to regret that for an instant.

Dinosaurs are meant to be big

and where is the fun if we can't go big?

Up.

Up, lift.

I've never done anything by halves and I'm not starting now.

Except for half a DeLorean.

Kale made a name for himself going big.

Kale scale.

Sometimes it worked, sometimes it didn't.

Let's be honest. Sometimes he went big, sometimes he went home.

However, today, Kale scale is a real thing

but it's Kale scale with a twist.

You have to build something that is as tall as Kale.

(LAUGHTER) Oh, my god!

That is the Kale scale we will be operating on today.

Brickman.

As per normal, we're going to go through our three criteria.

There's storytelling, aesthetics and technical ability.

However, today, for the first time in Lego Masters history,

we're going to tell you what you're not allowed to build.

You are not allowed to build a building or a tower.

Far out.

Anything else is fair game as long as it's taller than Kale.

The tip of his hair.

Oh, right. OK.

It's a one-to-one Kale scale.

Gabby and Ryan, you guys have won the advantage.

You get a 30 minute head start.

Which when you think about it is quite amazing

because it's actually all the five minutes

that you've been penalised...

(LAUGHTER)

..from having the curse,

rolled back into one and paid with zero interest

straight back to you guys.

You guys start 30 minutes ahead of the rest.

The other teams, you will have eight hours.

That's a lot of bricks in eight hours.

Good luck, guys. This will be a fast and frantic one.

Let's go big.

Good luck. Your time starts now. Go for it.

Frantic in the sense that you run to your bench

and sit quietly for half an hour.

This is a foreign feeling. We're not cursed anymore.

We finally got rid of that brick. Not cursed. We've never...

Our old friend's back. Yes.

But it's a good friend now. Good. A good friend.

This is not curse time, this is advantage time.

Good luck. Thank you.

OK. No buildings. No...

Yeah. So, no buildings.

What are you thinking then?

How many textas do you think you can get in your nose?

We're really good at sitting still for 30 minutes at a time.

We absolutely strive at sitting still.

No. No!

(LAUGHS)

Maybe we'll just meditate.

Shall we do each other's hair?

We could do each other's hair just while we're waiting.

(LAUGHS)

Get it off. Ew, ew, ew!

What the...

Shall we get some bricks and mark out some size.

Yep. Let's do it. Alright.

We're going to need all the buckets.

I think we only need buckets at this point.

What's your idea?

Can't tell you.

I'll tell you in 12 minutes and 26 seconds.

Oh, man!

Three tubs? Four tubs?

They're taking all the bricks of every colour. It doesn't matter.

OK.

So, today, it's go big or go home, literally.

We have to build something that's at least as tall as Kale,

structurally sound and we can build it in just eight and a half hours.

So, we're building a water fountain.

Know what colour we're building in? I don't.

So, a number of tiers, water flowing,

perhaps a cherub on top,

and if we get time, we're hoping to fill it with rubber ducks.

SARAH: Going good there, Ryan.

Keep up the good work, Ryan.

Looks amazing Ryan.

Fantastic, Ryan.

It's not quite tall enough yet but it looks amazing.

It's not getting there at the moment but it will.

(LAUGHS)

It's not tall enough. Is it finished? Have you finished?

So, how tall are you?

I reckon he's like there.

Don't draw on your face. You did.

SARAH: And we're off and racing.

Ryan is doing the Lego really quick

and Gabby's building round blue things.

As you can see, Gabby's in the lead.

Ryan's behind her.

Gabby's bringing blue because Brickman likes colours,

so we've got to bring colour into the build.

(LAUGHS)

Hashtag worst advantage ever.

Yes! (LAUGHS)

How long have we got?

SCOTT: Where's the iPad?

HAMISH: The advantage is running to an end here.

You guys, you've got four seconds.

Guys, in one second you can go.

Go now! You've got eight hours! Good luck!

It's planning time. Alright, give me ideas.

Shoot, shoot, shoot, shoot.

So, we've been working on some more thorough planning methods

so that we don't end up with a repeat of Scotty smash.

That is not a thing.

Scotty smash is a thing. Scotty smash is not a thing.

We don't want it to be a thing,

so we're going to put lots of time into planning this time.

We're going to be cool, calm and collected.

OK. So, what have you got?

So, we are not smashing our build halfway through to restart.

That's the plan.

I reckon one of those dinosaurs that does this.

You want to build a dinosaur in this time?

We want to hit Kale scale. That's Kale scale.

A big ass dinosaur.

Yeah? You with me?

We lock in dinosaur.

It's nailing Kale scale.

It's big, it's bold, it's colourful.

Like, who doesn't love a dinosaur, right?

How are we building the base?

Block out in the middle and then brown round the outside.

So, you're on the base. I'll start putting legs together.

Hi, guys. Hello.

Nice to meet you. How are you doing?

Hi. Hamish here from Lego Masters.

Hello.

Can you confirm with your consultant what you've decided to go with?

OK.

We've gone with a water fountain with the ducks.

Rubber ducks. So, rubber ducks.

Thoughts on that? Yeah. Yeah, look.

I'd suggest to you there are multiple pillars

to make any great build.

Stacking bricks would work

if you weren't accounting for the spaces between the bricks.

Kale has a lot of knowledge about building.

I've got a design degree on the wall.

Design is not finished

till there's nothing left to take away.

You know, those little pearls of wisdom that fall from the sky.

Got a real pearl bucket up there, don't you?

Yeah, there is. It's huge.

But I think he might also think he's Brickman.

OK, quick knowledge bomb I'm going to drop on you guys.

In one word, what do you want the emotional response to be?

Funny.

I love it. I'm on-board.

Do I think Kale has got very comfortable in the studio?

Ah...

Good knowledge bomb drop.

Having said that, Brickman is the judge.

(LAUGHTER) Yeah, yeah, yeah.

You don't have to impress me. I'm already impressed.

He really is the ruler today.

White space is important.

You know, negative, empty space.

What are you putting the focus on?

What are you taking it away from?

We were sort of thinking more like lower case 'R'.

Hmm.

Sorry about that, guys.

I'll leave you with that.

Go big or go home.

I mean, if the first build today was all about weight,

this is undoubtedly about the volume.

It is.

This is to the height of a Kale which is pretty high.

It'd certainly be the tallest things we've had built on the show so far.

But it's got to look good and it can't be a building.

Where's the hardness in that?

Well, the challenge is the storytelling component of it.

Just because they've got the height requirement

doesn't mean they've got our three criteria.

So, now it's about who is using Lego in the cleverest way.

That's right.

Good luck to all the teams.

That's really tall for the base.

It's got to be, man.

Sarah and Fleur. Hey!

I know eight is a challenge today. Hi.

Hi! How are you doing?

Height specialist, Kale.

We know. We know all about your height.

Is that my official term now? Height specialist.

Height consultant, Kale.

Advice from the man that likes to go big.

Well, I mean, I should start by asking, what are you doing?

Go. You can explain.

We're building a big signpost

like a street sign, "Children crossing",

but mini-figs have taken over.

They've stolen that sign and they've replaced it

with a 'mini-figs crossing' sign.

I like, I like, and I can see the structure you've got.

Yeah. You've got a lot of those to build.

How many high of these are Kale?

I would say that... I reckon, like...

One, two, three, four. Like, 15, maybe.

Four's a quarter Kale. We're gonna do 15.

I'm guessing 15. We reckon 15.

We've all guessed the same number. Yeah.

It's got to be really high, but we don't have a lot of time,

so we are going to build

Technic frame boxes for the pole,

and then we can adjust the height by taking one off

and putting one back on if we need to.

I'm hoping you'll take off your shoes to make it fair

and possibly your socks. There has been a bit of a whisper

about debooting, possibly. I think you should deboot.

There's not a lot of heel on it. Do we need to reach hair height

as well? You know,

I might have to put the hair down as well.

So deboot and a flat head. But apart from that...

These are technicalities, aren't they?

..we'll need a fully standard tall Kale.

OK, let's go. Thank you.

Thanks, Kale. Cool.

You can go quicker, I reckon.

I'm pretty motoring. Pushing you for speed, Harry.

(DRAMATIC MUSIC)

Gus, Dave. Hello.

How are you? How's it going, Hamish?

How you doing? I know things are at high pace

at the moment. Tell me what you're doing here.

We're doing a big cobra snake coming out of a basket.

Oh! I like that. That's awesome.

We've decided to build a snake...

..coming out of a basket.

What you see in cartoons and old movies.

(HISSES)

I'm gonna start at the top of the head,

Dave's gonna start at the basket,

and we're gonna meet in the middle somewhere.

You've geared right for the movement?

You're gonna have to gear down.

I've geared down, yeah. Yeah, we're very, very geared down.

That's the boy. Come on.

We didn't use any mechanism in the Pegasus build,

and we now feel that we really need to show our technical ability

by putting something into the snake's head.

Maybe an opening and closing jaw and some glowing red eyes.

How much weight you moving? How much weight are you moving?

At the moment, just the bottom jaw, so it should be OK. Should be.

OK. Just bottom jaw.

Will be a little, yeah. He's happy with that.

Easy-peasy. OK.

Good luck. Keep going. Thanks very much, guys.

Thanks, Kale. Thank you.

We need to just keep bringing everything we've got,

because we really want that fifth win.

(SIGHS) Come on, snake head.

Build yourself.

You are one hour down.

You have got a lot to build.

In seven hours' time, will you be taller than Kale?

Will you be going big, or will you be going home?

I hope it's the former. RYAN: Please go big.

5 foot, 6. We've done about half a foot.

(TENSE MUSIC)

(TEAM WHISPER)

Hey, Brickman. How you going? Hey, Brickman.

Man, you're flying.

We've hit Kale-scale big time, I think.

We're going for brief. Tell me about your idea.

We want a big... ..bronco-saurus.

Bronco-saurus? We think that's the one.

With the big neck.

I think the guys eat the leaves up top.

Brachiosaurus? BOTH: Brachiosaurus.

There you go. So I was close.

So, you're doing the feet?

So, these are the legs at the moment.

It's Kale-scale to the point where we may Kale not finish.

Hang on. Can I just remind you... Yes.

..what did Kale go home on?

Not finishing.

Not finishing what? I don't remember.

Are you serious?

He failed by trying to make a giant dinosaur.

You're kidding. Are you kidding? Are you kidding me?

That is bad juju.

That is not a good omen.

Kale went home on a dinosaur,

and we're building a dinosaur in the Kale challenge.

It's just bad juju, man.

All right, that's so dumb.

Why did we do this? (CHUCKLES)

Should've gone for, like... Was it the same dinosaur, Brickman?

It wasn't the same dinosaur. He was going for a T-rex.

OK, good. So, maybe that's it.

Maybe it's the type of dinosaur, then.

Look, if you wanna live in that famous Egyptian place, 'denial',

by all means, go down that path.

He had longer.

We better build a lot faster. 14 hours,

and all he managed to do was half a head.

We haven't started the head yet. Can I tell you,

you have got no chance of making this dinosaur

in eight hours above Kale-scale.

(DRAMATIC MUSIC)

You have no chance.

Now, you can take that two ways.

Prove me wrong or...

..you go home.

I do not want to go home.

I really want to do a dinosaur,

but he's right. Yeah?

Are we up for another Owen and Scotty smash?

Is that what's happening? I could do that.

Scrap it, start again, fresh idea.

Why do we do this to ourselves?

I'm gonna send it.

(DRAMATIC MUSIC)

Scotty smash? Scotty smash.

Scotty smash. Do it.

(DRAMATIC MUSIC)

(MEN EXCLAIM)

Oh, man.

Why do we keep doing this?

Oh...

I'm astounded. Astounded.

This is unreal.

(DRAMATIC MUSIC)

Oh, why do we keep doing this?!

(BRICKS RATTLE)

(BRICKS RATTLE)

Here we go. Stay positive, Owen.

We're going to build a giant rocket. Yes. It's going to work.

I feel like I'm making myself less positive as I talk to myself.

RYAN: It's going to be awesome.

Thanks, Ryan. I agree. We're gonna smash this.

No. No, smash is not your word.

No, we're not gonna smash this. That's our trigger word.

I do not know why we keep doing this.

We say, going into every challenge,

the last three,

"We're not here to smash Lego. We're here to build Lego.

And yet here we are. We've smashed our build again.

It's not good, man. It could be worse.

How can it be worse?

New plan - we're sending a rocket into space.

We're packin' exhaust fumes. We're packin' fins.

We're packin' boosters. We are gonna send this thing to the stratosphere.

I'm back to that terrible feeling that I get every so often,

every build... (CHUCKLES)

..when we smash our build and I feel physically ill.

We need to get height quickly.

We need to do it very quickly.

This elimination might be different

than the last one, 'cause we might be going home this time.

And how many of the...? Have we got enough of those grey plates?

Well, I'll have to get more, probably.

(INHALES) Feel like I'm working in a factory.

(INHALES) It's freakin' crazy.

Faster. I'm trying.

(DRAMATIC MUSIC)

Thank you for noticing. Yes, I do have a lot to do on this show.

The time, the clock.

Kale, come with me. I'm bringing Kale round

if you need a quick measure.

And now today on top of my usual huge workload,

I've got to take the ruler round.

Comparison height - I think that one full Kale equals Gus to the eyes.

Yeah, it's exciting to see third Kales, half Kales, 75% Kales.

How many bowls will you get up the side of Kale?

Shin bowl. Yep.

And then column to the hips. Hip bowl.

The hip bowl.

And the hip bowl's connected to the...

Hip bowl's...

(LAUGHS) Shoulder bowl. ..shoulder bowl.

Who's gonna go the full one K?

Anyone else need Kale?

Um, not yet. (LAUGHS)

I wish. OK.

(LAUGHS) Come on.

Oh, wow. Off you go.

Just for one second, I think.

Oh, here. Here?

We've got a Kale request over here. Oh, yes.

Michael, Harrison. Hello, hello.

You've got... Kale, how you doing?

The man himself. You've got a valuable asset here.

He's gone very big before. Yeah.

Can you help the boys?

What's your thoughts?

First, tell me what you're doing.

So, we're doing 'fisherman on a wharf'.

So, we're gonna have the wharf, fisherman character,

fishing line above him, and he's gonna be trying to go for a fish,

but he's hooked himself and he's gonna be in a bit of a shock.

Nice, nice.

Could I pop this by your side? Oh, yeah.

Put that on top, we can, like, get a general...

You're a gentleman for asking. Just to see where... Thank you.

OK. So we know general...

OK, so, we've got that. I'm pretty confident with it.

That's not a top bit. OK, cool.

So at the moment, that rock's not even a quarter Kale.

Not even a quarter Kale.

The panic button has well and truly been pressed.

Yeah. We really need to crank it up and make it faster.

We'll let you guys get back to it.

Go. Thank you.

How much higher do you want it? Pretty high, man.

That is a high bricks-per-minute. Ridiculous.

(DRAMATIC MUSIC)

Why are we doing an astronaut and a rocket, man?

I don't know. Space is not our place.

Do you want me to start on the statue?

Do you need it to be white,

or can we get another colour in somehow?

It just means we... Oh, hi.

Guys, I've brought a size reference. Yeah. Size reference.

Oh, it's bigger. Yes! Well, no, that doesn't work.

You can't cut the ruler in half. It's alright.

No, no. But...

..that's only five of our structures.

Well, half of our structures,

so we will get to you on just our structure.

No, my money's on you guys being first. You are doing so well.

(GIGGLES) That's good.

You are our favourite Kale ever. We've got a lot of work still left.

Sorry, Hamish. You're our favourite Hamish. Favourite Kale.

Oh, hello, hello.

Hey, Jordy. Hi.

What are you doing here? How are ya?

Oh, no, it's a little season one reunion.

It's a big season one party.

Sorry, Jordy works here.

OK, go there. Stay there.

Don't fall. Yes. Ooh, oh!

(LAUGHS) I'mma hit you, boy.

(LAUGHS) (EXHALES)

What's worse than a tense situation?

A tense situation with Scotty in your area.

(LAUGHS)

Kale, height thoughts?

Get to the height and then worry about the aesthetics.

Yeah. Fair enough. Fair enough.

Because, you know, you don't get the height, you're going home.

Kale, as someone that's at the end of their build

had a giant, unfinished thing,

how does it feel at the end?

(CHUCKLES)

What about the DeLorean when you were like...?

I loved DeLorean. That was so much fun.

Gotcha. But it was unfinished.

Yeah.

(BOTH CHUCKLE) Alrighty, guys.

You are four hours down, four to go. This is halfway.

La, la, la, la, la, la, la!

Got to ask yourself - am I at a half a Kale?

Maybe you're at a quarter Kale. Maybe you're a third Kale.

You need to be at a half a Kale or more by now! Good luck.

Remember the happy times?

Is that those times where there's not elimination?

Yeah. Do you want me to leave you

to try and shape those legs? Yeah, go. Go.

We've got to be super careful with putting these on.

Don't wanna undo all the work you've done.

Alright, Brickman, go big or go home - it couldn't be simpler.

Uh-huh. Or could it?

I mean, it's an elimination.

If everybody gets to the level... Big.

..then it becomes a little bit more detailed.

So, Kale, obviously, there's a lot of builds out here.

How are you feeling about all the builds?

This is the stage of the build

where everybody's making those compromises

to make sure they've got at least something finished.

Yeah. And nobody's gonna be able to stick

to their original ideas.

They might be in trouble, and that's...

Sorry, sorry, sorry. You don't need to...

No, this is the... Me and Brickman do these talks.

Are you sure? No, no.

You just go to the Brick Pit. Yep, cool.

And then, Kale, you just take it easy.

What was all that about?

Doesn't matter. OK, so,

let's go around our teams.

Sarah and Fleur, the minifigures crossing sign.

This is my favourite idea. I reckon it's funny.

It is. It's not only funny. It's clever,

because it's such a thin pole, and then something awesome

to be putting on it. It'll be bright and colourful.

This idea is by far and away the pack leader.

SARAH: Should we build it up around the side at the green here

to give it more base? Yeah, that's a really good idea.

Ooh. You good? Yep.

Gus and David, the snake out of a basket.

Great. How?

Correct. The real secret is actually not about big.

It's about finding a way to get higher

without needing to do all of those bulk Lego bricks.

So, under the tall and thin rule, a snake...

..could be the winner. You're absolutely right.

Just going with the flow. Going with the flow.

Gabby and Ryan,

a multi-layered fountain.

Potentially beautiful,

but potentially bland.

I think the foundation's there, but...

..how do you then turn it into something incredible?

How do you get a story into it?

♪ Just keep brickin'. ♪ (GROANS)

All right, Scott and Owen.

(LAUGHS) Had something. Smashed it.

That seems to be their process.

No questioning their endeavour and their speed,

but the time pressure is starting to bite.

That's the third and last smash, OK?

'Cause now we're... ♪ Behind. ♪

♪ ..building on borrowed time. ♪

Michael and Harrison,

it's probably not an idea that they would've thought,

coming to this competition, "Gee, I can't wait to build

"that man fishing off a pier," Sure.

But I kind of like the fishing rod as a way to get height.

I think they're getting all of the height out of this dock.

So they're literally gonna make the dock

about this high, and then this little dude

with a fishing rod on top.

Is it tall enough?

Yeah, surely. Unless he jumps.

That scale's a little bit muddled. Not much storytelling in that.

So their challenge is to make that whole thing interesting,

not just an interesting man

on top of an enormous pier? Correct.

(DRAMATIC MUSIC)

Hi, guys.

Brickman. How we travelling?

Pretty well.

We're actually pretty happy with how the build's come along.

We've got our wharf. We've got our fisherman.

So, is he standing or sitting? He's standing there.

I think you've got the composition a little bit wrong.

If all the action's up here,

all of this is irrelevant. OK.

The story's here, not there. BOTH: Yep. Yep.

If you brought something into play all the way down there,

you're making it relevant. OK.

And that's an important part of the challenge, is height.

If all the action's up here... Yep.

..I'm like, "Well, you didn't really, you know..."

We know exactly what we need to do - tell more story on this pier.

So, if we have him posed a bit further forward...

Yep. So we can even just build

down there and, like, a car tyre or a boot splashing out.

We can half build in a car tyre.

Yeah, so it's sort of exploding out of the water,

so we can just get more movement to it down the bottom.

Hopefully we can inject enough story down the bottom to keep us safe.

That's sunk in. We'll just, yeah, zhoosh it up.

Guys, you have got...

..one hour.

(ALARM BLARES) Wow, all I see is grimaces.

One hour.

Whoo!

"You're the best, Hame!" Oh, that's not necessary, guys.

Keep building.

One hour. Unfortunately,

that also means that one team only has an hour left on 'Lego Masters'.

It is an elimination.

I think we can make it. I hope we can make it,

but it's gonna be to the wire again, you know?

We are where we are, and we're here 'cause we did it ourselves again.

So, yeah, we just... We're in our bed, and we're sleeping in it now.

(DRAMATIC MUSIC)

You're just going four high, Sarah?

Is that what it needs to be? Correct. Correct.

OK, cool. That should be hopefully stronger.

RYAN: What do you think?

Yeah.

Goes in...

(BOTH CHUCKLE)

This could be one of your last chances to measure against

the gold standard himself.

I might be kneeling.

Here we go.

We're here. We may as well. No, no, Kale.

Remember, you're the ruler, so you have to be at the right height,

and then they measure it against you. It doesn't work if the ruler

shrinks to the object. I don't know.

Let's not... That's fine. The challenge is Kale-scale,

so don't keep dipping down. Like, Kale at standing height.

I wanna help them.

Alright, guys, I feel like we're pretty good here.

Yeah, we...

You've hit the scale. Hit the scale.

Even with that quiff. Higher.

Do you want me to do it? Yeah!

Do you want me to do it? Finishing touches.

It's taken me nearly eight hours to make the pole.

We've got the height, but now we have to work out a way

to attach this sign.

What's going on, Sar? Are you OK?

I don't know yet. OK.

I'll hold this pole steady.

I'm just-I'm just generally here to catch humans or Lego.

(DRAMATIC MUSIC)

Are you really the one that should be touching that?

How's that feel?

It's fine at the top here.

Is it all there, Sarah? Yep.

OK.

Is it gonna fall?

No, it's not.

Should I just stand like this for the next 15 minutes? (CHUCKLES)

The crossing's all wrong.

(BOTH GROAN)

The crosswalk is at the wrong angle...

Angle. ..completely.

Yeah, no, the crossing's wrong. That needs to go here.

Can you turn him around so it looks right?

No. No. OK. I'll have to take the sign off.

I hate to be this guy...

I don't wanna take the sign off.

..but you don't have much time. All right. I'm gonna hold this.

Can you fix the sign if I just hold it here?

No. I need to have it off to do it, 'cause I need to...

It's just 'cause it's on the wrong angle,

and I was doing it like this side. All right.

You've got this, guys. You... No!

(TENSE MUSIC)

(BRICKS RATTLE)

(BRICKS RATTLE)

All right. I'm gonna hold this.

Can you fix the sign if I just hold it here?

No. I need to have it off to do it, 'cause I need to...

It's just 'cause it's on the wrong angle,

and I was doing it like this side. All right. Hold...

You've got this, guys. You... Hold the...

No!

You right?

You right?

I'm fine, but our build's not.

That's devastating.

Hearing Sarah and Fleur's build crash - that was just heartbreaking.

That is not a crash that you wanna hear from anyone.

Oh, man. That's heart-sinkin'. (SIGHS)

You've got 15 minutes.

Oh, damn it.

We have got 15 minutes to go.

We're just weighing up, "Do we play the Platinum Brick

"and send someone home who's done an amazing build that is standing?

"Or do we try to fix it?"

You can do it. You can do it. You can do it.

If we were at one minute, no chance. But you're at 15.

We've seen incredible things happen on this show in 15 minutes.

And, god, I believe in you guys. Yeah, I know.

(CHUCKLES) You've got it. You've got it, Fleur.

We've tried so hard. We have such a good idea.

We wanna finish it.

Let's go. You can totally recover.

Even if it goes on this bit here, it will be taller than Kale.

I just need to find all the pieces of the...

..fig. It's 15 minutes.

They can get there. They can get there.

(DRAMATIC MUSIC)

RYAN: I don't know if I've told you lately, but this is insanity.

I know.

We know that we're nearly at Kale-scale.

We've almost got the height.

You OK?

Yeah, no, I just keep on stopping my breathing.

But we're running out of time to add the story element.

(SIGHS)

I think the ducks are off the table.

We've got a fountain. It's not a story in itself.

It's not, no. No, it's not.

You need to add in another dimension to your story

and really bring it to life.

Please push hard. OK.

Alright. We're pushing hard.

(CLICKS TONGUE)

Man, what are we gonna do here?

It needs a different storyline.

You know how you have, in the ends of those movies,

where they say, "Meet me at the..."

The fountain? The fountain.

Yeah? Like, a really obvious love gesture.

We're going to make it into, maybe, a romantic proposal.

Our little cherub becomes Cupid.

It's gonna have a little rose in it, a wedding ring...

Go. Run.

Oh, my god.

It's a very simple, plain story,

but we've run out of time.

Cannot believe the crap that we build in the last minutes.

It's ridiculous!

Alrighty, guys, you have got ten big, full minutes,

where anything can happen. Lots of good things

can happen in the next ten minutes,

which is, really, 600 seconds.

There's a lot of time to complete your builds,

no matter where they're at. Good luck.

(HIGH-PITCHED) Oh, boy. (CHUCKLES)

You can say that again. Oh, boy.

They're really cool fish.

I'm gonna put this on.

(DRAMATIC MUSIC)

That's not good.

RYAN: Oh, my gosh. It's stressful.

It's gonna be so hard to get finished.

Lookin' around, there's some amazing builds.

I can see this cobra staring at us,

this ridiculous rocket that came out of nowhere...

Crimson Y at the bottom here? I don't know, man.

GABBY: And ours is beautiful, but I don't know if it's eye-catching.

And our story's subtle. Simple.

Mm. Simple.

But will it be enough?

Do you have a specific time you would like me to tell you...

No. ..so it leaves you enough time

to get the sign on top? (GRUNTS) Yeah...

What do you reckon? Like... Like, one minute to get the sign balanced?

Yep.

OK. You've got plenty of time till then.

You've got 90 seconds till then.

(MOMENTOUS MUSIC)

(WHISTLES)

(PANTS)

Where are the browns?!

We've put our heart and soul into this build, but this

last hour has been an absolute blur.

I still think we should put some white underneath this,

like it's smoke.

We're at height. We now need to finish it, though.

Two minutes.

(EXHALES) Breathing. Breathing.

Don't drop it. Don't drop it. Don't drop it.

(CHUCKLES) Yep.

KALE: Still got it balanced?

We have never seen the snake as one.

Letting him go. Letting him go. Letting him go.

Just don't breathe on it.

Do you want another one?

Another one here, if we can.

Fleur's just fixed the sign. Looks amazing.

OK. We've got enough. You've got enough?

OK. OK.

OK. This is the shot.

You've got one minute, 48. That is so much time. Plenty of time.

Are you alright holding it, Sarah? You go up.

We've gotta get this sign on, and we've got very little time to do it.

You've definitely got enough time for a big breath. Nice, big breath.

(GRUNTS) Here we go.

Here we go.

You've got a lot of time.

You've got a lot of time.

You've gotta get it out and over... I'm just gonna...

..Sarah. BRICKMAN: Don't touch it, Hame.

Can I give you my hand? OK. I won't touch it.

(SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC)

OK, right. Is it holding? It's not down there yet.

No, it's come apart. No, it's not. It's not holding.

It's come apart. (SIGHS)

It's not holding. There's not enough on it.

One minute. You've got one minute to go.

BRICKMAN: One minute. Don't give up. Don't give up. One minute.

(BOTH SIGH) It's alright.

It's alright. It's OK, Fleur.

Gee, you gave it a good crack.

We did give it a good crack. (CHUCKLES)

I'm sorry, Fleur. It's OK, darling. Don't stress.

I'm sorry, mate. It's all good. We nearly got there.

Oh...

That sucks.

We just tried so hard, you know, all day.

BRICKMAN: You have. You can't take that away from you.

You have given it... You can't take that away from you.

You have. Gee, I wish I wasn't the time guy.

30 seconds!

Yeah, here you go, Scotty. Just this.

(MUMBLES)

HAMISH AND BRICKMAN: Eight, seven,

six, five,

four, three,

two, one.

That is it.

BRICKMAN: Hands off the briefs. Hands off.

Congratulations and commiserations. Oh, my gosh.

(GROANS) Never again.

This is ridiculous. Never again are we smashing it all.

Well done, dude.

Unreal, man. That was...

Sorry. ..easily the most intense build

we've had in an already very intense season.

(CHUCKLES) We nearly got it back on.

We nearly did it.

We have never built as fast and as hard as we did today,

and it's all for nothing.

We just tried so hard, Sarah. We nearly had it on.

We nearly had it on. Don't stress.

I'm absolutely devastated.

(BRICKS RATTLE)

(BRICKS RATTLE)

Guys,

you have had eight hours to complete your "go big or go home" builds.

The criteria were simple -

build something incredible that is as tall as our special guest.

Kale-scale.

It looks incredible. I can't wait to get Brickman's thoughts.

Sarah and Fleur, let's do it.

(ALL CLAP)

And it does deserve a round of applause...

BRICKMAN: It does. ..purely for the effort

that went in for seven hours and 59 minutes and 30 seconds.

There was a lot of effort. There was a lot of effort...

Yeah, there was heaps of effort in there.

..before the catastrophic end.

(DOWNCAST MUSIC)

We built a "minifig crossing" sign...

..but now it's just an absolute disaster.

We spent eight hours on this amazing build to go to nothing.

We're absolutely... It's devastating.

..gutted. So devastated.

Now, measurement-wise...

(CHUCKLES) Oh, Hamish.

..I'm just going off my rough eye here - I could be wrong,

but I don't know if it meets the height.

Don't think it does.

Do we want Kale to lie down beside it?

Yeah, I... I would like him to lie down.

You would like him to lie down? It's a close call.

Yeah, definitely bigger. Hey!

Oh, gosh. Definitely fine.

He's down. He's down.

We made it. Thank you. Thank you. We made it.

So, you got it - just in a slightly skew-whiff dimension.

Abstract way. Yeah.

Brickman, I'm sure you've got a lot of thoughts on the build itself -

from 30 seconds before the end. (BOTH CHUCKLE)

Even though we have what we have, and it's happened,

it's almost irrelevant, because your idea and story

was the best one in this room.

Thank you. It definitely was.

Look how funny that is.

It's very cool. It's awesome. Hey? How cool is that?

Apart from my kids,

there's probably about two million people watching this at home

that would like that at their house right now...

Yeah, absolutely. ..to put on their door somewhere.

That sums up just how awesome your Lego was,

unfortunately, before it happened.

And you guys kept going. You kept going harder

than we've ever seen anyone build on this show.

And you went out swinging. Thank you.

And I think you should be super proud of that.

Thank you. So, great job.

Live to see another day. Thanks.

MAN: Good job.

Good job.

We're both feeling guilty at this stage,

because we need to play the Platinum Brick.

(BOTH EXHALE)

It's going to send another team home, and it's hard.

Mm. Scotty and Owen, let's take a look.

(ALL CLAP)

OK. Fellas, first things first -

Kale, would you do the honours?

Here we go. Don't have to, do I?

I mean, that thing is... That... It's a huge tick.

Thanks, Kale. Great job. Well done, boys.

MAN: T minus one minute and counting.

Prepare for ignition.

Minus ten, nine, eight...

OWEN: We've got a rocket ship. It's taking off into space.

SCOTT: It's got smoke plumes. It's got fins.

It's got adventure. It's got everything you need to get to space,

man.

(INSPIRING MUSIC)

Having to start again - we were really kind of hoping

this wasn't gonna happen to us. Yeah.

It's now... I think it's been three builds in a row...

That's enough. ..where you've gone through

that process. We'd like to change it.

(ALL CHUCKLE) Like to... Like to cash it in.

It's shortening my life.

It's the first step - is recognising the problem.

Yes. Second step's smashing it.

No... Yeah, it turns the pressure up,

that's for sure. It turns the pressure up.

One way to do it. (ALL LAUGH)

Brickman, what are your thoughts?

It's way cool.

Who doesn't love a rocket?

You've used bright colours,

and it's a great object to meet the brief of this challenge.

However, you've been delivering

these cool Lego models and great Lego models,

but imagine an extra hour - what that would do.

Because it's a smaller and smaller and smaller field.

You know, it's that tight - another false start,

and it's probably the end.

Nice job, guys.

Michael and Harrison, let's take a look.

(ALL CLAP)

Now, before we begin, Kale, does it match the...?

I mean, the fishing rod -

masterstroke. He's got it? Definitely.

It's a tick from Brickman.

There you go.

(SOARING MUSIC)

(SEAGULLS SQUAWK)

MICHAEL: We think our story is good -

a fisherman on a really large pier...

..casting his line and pulling up nothing but tyres.

If this wasn't a height-restricted build, would the pier be that tall?

BOTH: No.

Appreciate the honesty.

(ALL CHUCKLE)

But, I mean, that was a condition of the build, so it was... I...

I say, a legal trick to... to get the height.

Brickman, what are your thoughts?

So, using "legal tricks" - to coin Hamish's phrase -

in challenges like this are almost a necessity.

They do, however, come at a cost that's usually

aesthetics or technical ability.

In this case, it's aesthetics.

Our eyes are really drawn to these big, brown pillars -

this huge dock - where, to be honest, not a lot's happening.

It just needs a reason to be so tall.

The fisherman's got some great colour in him,

but the character's face - it's not showing

the emotion of what the fisherman's trying to do.

Today, of course, we've had one of our builds not quite make it,

and they're probably gonna play the Platinum Brick,

which means, out of our four teams left,

only two will be in the top two,

and two, of course, will be in the bottom two -

which puts some fair pressure on you guys today.

Brickman's comments - pretty fair. We, sort of, knew we missed the boat

on this pier. Hopefully we don't go home because of it.

David and Gus.

(ALL CLAP)

Alright. First thing we've got to do is the official height test.

Kale, would you carefully stand next to the build?

Brickman? No problems.

No problemos! OK!

(MYSTICAL MUSIC)

(MUSIC SWELLS)

GUS: We built a snake,

in the basket, standing tall...

(HISSING)

He looks incredible - like a king.

I'm stoked.

Brickman, what are your thoughts? This is awesome.

Thank you.

I get the feeling, looking at it,

that it belongs in a really tacky tourist attraction

somewhere north of Cairo.

Whoa. What a... (CHUCKLES) I mean, that's...

Did you ever believe you could... you could reach those heights?

Never thought we'd reach those heights. Never.

But it's one of those items, in that tourist shop,

that has a $20,000 price tag. Oh, yeah.

It's just not for sale. It's awesome - it really is.

Well done, guys. Great job.

Gabby and Ry, let's take a look at yours.

(ALL CLAP)

(MAGICAL MUSIC)

RYAN: Our water fountain looks a little bit...

..better than we thought.

GABBY: It looks romantic and... Something you'd find in Paris.

It's pretty cool, but standing around

and looking at everybody else's builds,

I start to realise

that ours probably doesn't have enough colour or enough story.

Guys, a huge day for you - uncursed for the first time ever.

What was it like building without the curse?

It actually did feel quite good,

but surprisingly similar when we still, sort of,

came down to the last minute.

Like, "Jeez, I wish I had another five. Oh, wait."

Gabby, did it almost feel like something was missing, maybe?

Yeah, I know. I mean, did you...

did you come to love the curse?

Five minutes was fun.

At the start of each build, it was quite nice.

You didn't get your meditation.

Brickman, what are your thoughts on... on our fountain?

I'm absolutely stoked that you got the height, and there...

Actually, sorry, just on that -

Kale, we forgot to officially measure the height.

Oh, gee. We'd better make sure,

because this is... Borderline, this one. (CHUCKLES)

Ooh, hang on. Hang on. Can you stand up straight, please?

Hang on. Uh...

(WHISPERS) Think it's... Head up straight, please.

That's actually...

It's line-ball.

(TENSE MUSIC)

(BRICKS RATTLE)

(BRICKS RATTLE)

This is...

Borderline, this one. (CHUCKLES)

Ooh, hang on. Um...

Head up straight, please.

It's line-ball.

(TENSE MUSIC)

But it's got it. I mean...

The hair has a life of its own, you know.

Oh, oh, we can do that. Oh, OK.

Do that again. Hey!

(ALL LAUGH) There we go.

Good job. Well done, Kale. Good job.

(LAUGHTER)

Didn't wanna get out on a technicality.

It's actually really close. It's actually...

But, therefore, the best you could do.

Totally. 'Cause if you go too high,

you've wasted time. Totally.

You go the perfect height - it's... everything's there.

Well, every single build here has made compromises.

The chasm of time - it's so tight over the top of you, all the time.

So that comes with lots of trade-offs.

And, unfortunately,

story's one of those things which you had to trade off against.

You did get part of it. It's a very romantic thing -

a nice fountain, and I appreciate it.

But having a rose - it doesn't really tell as much

of a story as what you'd want it to.

I really would have loved to have seen

a whole heap more colour into the build as well,

'cause that's the other thing that's missing - is colours.

And I get the feeling you know

that I think you're in the bottom two today.

Hearing Brickman say ours lacked colour -

it's disappointing, but he's right.

It's a sea of blue, white and a bit of grey.

(DRAMATIC MUSIC)

Well, team, once again,

fantastic builds,

fantastic effort today.

It was all about building big,

and to inspire you to build big,

we had our special guest in the room -

most famous for going as big as possible on 'Lego Masters'

for season one. Kale, thank you for your time, and your height...

Thank you. ..I guess.

You may leave. You've done...

..done a great job.

(ALL CLAP)

(UPLIFTING MUSIC)

But today, as we all know, is an elimination.

We are about to lose one more team from the 'Lego Masters' family.

Before we get to Brickman's thoughts,

if there is anyone in the room that has a Platinum Brick

and they would like to play it to keep themselves safe,

now would be the time to do so. Sarah and Fleur?

Yes, please. Yes, thank you.

You would like to play the Platinum Brick?

Yeah. We definitely wanna play

the Platinum Brick. Yeah, we do.

And we're sorry, guys. We back our build,

but we have no build to back currently,

so, therefore, we're using it today. Yeah.

I think it's a wise move.

(ALARM BLARES)

Security protocols authorised.

(MOMENTOUS MUSIC)

Fleur, you may now reattach the brick.

OK. Having withdrawn

its power of immunity... (EXHALES)

..you can put it back on its science wall.

Thank you, brick. You've served us well. (CHUCKLES)

(HEAVENLY MUSIC)

(WHOOSHING)

(ALL EXCLAIM AND LAUGH)

The power of science.

Great job.

Guys,

you're safe.

(ALARM BLARES)

You have drained the brick of all its power...

Yes.

..but you are now surrounded in a platinum force field

of immunity...

(ALARM BLARES)

..which does shorten the field.

It shrinks us back to only four teams -

one of whom will be eliminated today.

Brickman, what are your thoughts?

There are obvious incredible creations,

incredible colour,

incredible passion, and, David and Gus,

you brought all of those today.

It's a cool Lego build.

That belongs in a storefront somewhere -

even a Lego storefront.

That's how good it is. BOTH: Thank you.

And that's why you're safe today.

(ALL CLAP)

(UPLIFTING MUSIC)

Which leaves us three.

Time, in this amazing thing called 'Lego Masters',

doesn't change. It's a constant.

Scott and Owen, you found a way to dispose of an hour.

Incredible.

Yep.

However, you managed to deliver something that's bright,

colourful, tells a story and ticked the boxes.

That's why you're safe too.

(EXHALES) Oh, man.

(ALL CLAP) Oh, my god.

(SIGHS) Never again.

In life, habits are bad,

and you're forming one.

Please do old Brickman a favour.

(BOTH LAUGH)

Let's not go through that again, OK?

You got it.

Thanks. (EXHALES)

That leaves two.

So, Ryan and Gabby, it's finally great to see a win.

Yes. Your last build -

our incredible flying contraption - was amazing.

That passion and energy is what was needed.

You absolutely got the height, and the cherub's great.

Unfortunately,

it doesn't really tell the story,

and there's just no colour to it.

Harrison and Michael, you got the height.

However, compromises came along the way.

But one thing that you did today that really impressed me

was you managed to get some colour in your build.

Your fisherman - using the yellow and the red

and these sorts of great colours is a great way to help

sell the story and to draw my attention to the Lego model.

(DRAMATIC MUSIC)

And that's why you're safe as well.

(BOTH EXHALE)

Sorry, Ryan and Gabby.

Ryan and Gabby... (BOTH CHUCKLE)

(EXHALES)

..you fought long and hard - under a curse for most of the time -

but produced some amazing Lego. How are you guys feeling?

Oh, look, it's obviously gutting to draw this to a close, but...

..we're in a field of amazing builders, you know?

(CHUCKLES) What can you do?

Gabby, what are you walking away with?

Oh, this has been a crazy, fun ride,

and we've just learnt so much from Brickman and from

everyone here. And I just can't wait to see what you guys build next.

Yeah. (CHUCKLES) Thanks for all the fun

you've brought. Thanks for the builds you've made.

We will clap you out. Thank you, guys.

Thanks for being part of it.

(ALL CLAP) Thank you.

You're all great. (LAUGHS) Good luck.

Being on 'Lego Masters' was definitely a dream of mine.

(LAUGHS)

Hamish!

I've enjoyed it more than I even thought I would.

Yeah. Honestly.

Oh, my gosh.

'The Blizzard of Oz'. (CHUCKLES) Oh, nice.

There's no denying it - this is such an out-of-body experience.

It's a fun story. It's colourful. It's bright.

It's got everything we absolutely need in a Lego model.

And it's hilarious.

I'm gonna dream about the Brick Pit, I think.

(BOTH CHUCKLE)

What a ride. What a ride.

Guys, what a day.

And whilst you have earnt a night off,

I can tell you that tomorrow...

It's not without its twists and turns tomorrow.

In fact, I'm gonna say it's one of the biggest twists and turns

we've had.

But I'll tell you about it then. For now, well done.

(LAUGHS)

Thanks for that. That's great.

We've got a whole night before then.

(TEAMS CHATTER)

(ALL CHEER)

Tomorrow night... Go, go, go.

Welcome.

..I have a special surprise in store for the final four.

Good. (CHUCKLES)

You've got a lot of acronyms in the Lego world.

SNOT, we all know. "Studs not on top."

We have acronyms too in TV, like MST.

(TENSE MUSIC)

"Mid-season twist."

(ALL LAUGH)

Are you gonna tell us what the MST is?

No, Fleur, I will not tell you what it is.

Hmm. Hmm.

Not even a hint.

Just tune in, Fleur.
