Original subtitles

HAMISH: Previously, on Lego Masters...

(LAUGHTER AND APPLAUSE)

..we assembled the final five...

(ROAR)

(FLEUR LAUGHS)

..for the ultimate battle for immunity.

(ROAR)

(LAUGHS)

HAMISH: Then...

(LASER SOUND)

..Scott and Owen took us to a whole new realm...

BRICKMAN: Today, you showed me something

that's been locked away inside you. It's amazing.

You really demonstrated so many different skills

and if you can do that every week, we're all winners.

..claiming immunity...

Scott and Owen.

(APPLAUSE AND CHEERING)

..with Doctor Strange's Sanctum Sanctorum.

We got to finals!

(APPLAUSE)

Yeah, we got to finals, man.

HAMISH: Tonight, in the elimination...

(CONTESTANTS REACT) Oh!

..your challenge is to introduce colour to your world...

This is the best day of my life.

HAMISH: It's the final build before finals week...

FLEUR: This is going to be our moment, Sarah.

Finals week, baby.

..and in the most artistic build yet.

GABBY: We want it to be magic rainbow paint,

so everything it drops on becomes coloured.

HAMISH: Everyone will be pushed to their limits.

GABBY: Oh!

GUS: We're the only team that still hasn't actually got an idea.

We really don't want to go home at this stage.

(APPLAUSE AND CHEERING)

Oh, man.

(GASPS)

(LAUGHTER)

(APPLAUSE)

Thanks very much.

Oh, my god! Brickman in costume.

This is the best day of my life.

Welcome to Lego Masters episode one and to the '50s.

(LAUGHTER)

Today, you'll be playing with some nifty Danish wooden blocks.

They're called Lego. Wow!

No, we're still in 2021.

Everything's OK.

Fleur, I mean, you just yelled,

"This is the best thing that's ever happened to me."

I mean, that is huge. (LAUGHTER)

I just - I wanted to see Brickman dressed up forever...

Oh, OK. (LAUGHTER)

..and it's like walking onto like a 1930s film set or something.

You know, I'm so excited.

(LAUGHTER)

There is excitement in the room.

There might be a lot of colour on our side of things.

We've gone greyscale

but there is excitement

because today is one of the builds it all comes down to.

Today is an elimination build. We will lose someone

but the teams that make it through today will go into finals week,

next week and then they are within a sniff of the finale

and possibly walking away with the grand prize

of being Lego Masters Australia and 100 grand.

Scotty and Owen, you're already there.

You're already in finals week. Whoo! Congrats.

(APPLAUSE)

You won the Marvel Avengers challenge.

It was an incredible build.

Fellas, good luck. We'll see you at the end.

Thank you very much. Thank you.

Bye, guys. See you, guys.

(APPLAUSE)

See you round. Good luck.

Well, I suppose there are some thoughts

flying around your heads as to what today's build is.

CONTESTANTS: Yes, yes.

OK.

Why don't you come this way?

(WONDROUS MUSIC)

(GASPS)

I can already feel Fleur going.

FLEUR: It's Pleasantville!

(LAUGHTER) Wow!

Can I interest you in a house and land package at all?

Take a little look at your suburban dream.

SARAH: Hang on, they're all the same.

HAMISH: The four houses on this street, like Brickman and I,

they're monochrome.

They're greyscale, they've lost their colour.

Your challenge today is to introduce colour to your world

through a story.

Something is happening in your build that is creating the colour.

So, we're going to end up with four builds

that have a lot of greyscale on them

but a very clear reason why part of the build

has started to become colourful.

Wow.

It's a very artistic build today.

So, over Lego Masters, we have of course really teased out

a technical, storytelling and aesthetic component

of your Lego skills.

Today, it's time to park your technical skills

and to really focus on storytelling,

the 'why' there colour in this world,

and of course once you've realised that, your aesthetics.

It's about bringing beautiful colour for a reason into these builds.

They're all the same, so it makes comparing them even easier.

To bring colour to your monochrome house and land packages,

you have got 12 hours.

FLEUR: Oh, wow.

I guess it's not so black and white.

(LAUGHTER)

In all seriousness, this is to get to finals week.

Good luck. Time starts now. Go for it.

Good general free-for-all.

Everyone happy with their selection? (LAUGHTER)

I mean, there's no mechanism to redo it

but I'm glad everyone seems to be happy with their house.

This might be one for the iPad 'cause we can take a photo

of the existing... Yeah, true.

It's all about the story, right?

It's all about the story and the colour.

Let's just throw lots of random ideas out there.

Yeah? Like aliens attacking?

(LAUGHS) Like...

Unicorns attacking?

Unicorn aliens attacking?

What if the paint truck has like it's hit it

and then gone and landed in the side of the house,

so it's literally spilling out of the house?

I like it.

We need something that's going to make our build stand out

and looks really different.

Just the other day, my son actually asked me,

"Mum, where do we keep the rainbow paint?"

RYAN: And that is just inspired.

So, I'm just trying to think of things

that would be the funniest thing for a rainbow truck to hit.

Like, what if they hit ducks?

A row of ducks? A row of ducks!

Of course. (LAUGHS)

So, we've decided that we're going to have a rainbow paint truck

that avoids a row of ducks that are crossing the road,

so it's just smashed into this house,

sort of launched itself into the house

so therefore...

Sprayed the house... Massive spray paint.

..and the neighbourhood with colour.

We want it to be magic rainbow paint

so everything it drops on becomes coloured,

not just splashed with paint.

The challenge is going to be making it big, making the idea big,

so getting height and getting sort of presence.

To be able to say that you've been in finals week of Lego Masters.

That's pretty crazy, isn't it? (LAUGHS)

Is going to be cool if we can get it to work.

If we can look through the eyes of a four-year-old,

maybe that's our win here.

Alrighty, Brickman, 12 hours,

everyone's starting with the same, identical house,

which I kind of love. But would you say

this is our most aesthetically challenging build of all?

It certainly relies on aesthetics the most.

It needs that great idea at the core, doesn't it,

for the winning build.

It definitely does

and then it's being quite, almost strategic

in how you use colour.

Not so much having the biggest of the grandest

but more how you are using the colour

as opposed to having a lot of colour.

Oh, man.

This challenge is definitely in our wheelhouse,

we're really excited about it.

I don't want to think of the house as a house to begin with.

It needs to be something off-kilter.

What if we made this a planter box with plants growing out of it

and a watering can?

Yeah, I like it.

So, we're going to turn our house into a greyscale planter box

with a water ring can pouring water or colour into it.

So, we have a huge contrast

with much more greyscale than colour.

It's such an amazing idea.

Where it's pouring colour,

we're going to have beautiful flowers all coloured

and the rest are going to be all in greyscale.

This is the opportunity to get through to finals week.

The final four, the final, final four.

So, we're just going to back ourselves today and take the risk.

Hi, guys. Hi. How are you?

Hamish. You're looking fine.

Thank you so much.

Do you feel like you've got over seeing Brickman in his outfit

or do we need to talk any more about that?

She's compartmentalising in it.

I'm married, so we don't need to talk about it.

Gotcha. But I mean, there's no harm in enjoying...

He looks so dapper.

You both do really do look fantastic.

Sure. Thank you. And it's kind of like...

But I mean, I feel like you're just adding that in now

'cause all the initial hype was about Brickman and you just...

I've told her to pull down the poster

off the back of the bedroom door of Brickman

but she doesn't do it.

You're going to make me blush. (LAUGHS)

We do talk a lot about aesthetics today.

I mean, usually it's just the aesthetics of Lego

but if you are a huge fan of the aesthetics of Brickman today

then... In the black and white.

You just looked at me and went,

"I don't care what your technical ability or storytelling is, mate."

"I'm all about aesthetics."

Good luck, guys. Alright, thank you.

Thank you.

Oh, my god. If I was in black and white,

you wouldn't see how red I am at the moment.

Keeping it up there?

Nice. Yeah.

Is that big enough? I think so.

Hello, chaps. Hi.

How are we going?

Good. How are you going? We're going.

We've got an unfinished, I hope, big figure here.

Yeah, so essentially what we're going to try and do

is have our representation of Mother Nature

rolling through our dark scene.

For today's build, our idea is to have Mother Nature

bringing new life and colour into the black and white world,

creating the nice bright, happy, you know, exciting world

she's passed through.

Do you have in your head yet a vision of what she looks like?

A little bit.

What a celebrity does she look like?

Um...

I want to say Paul Rudd but...

(LAUGHS) Jeez, alright. So...

He's a handsome man.

Yeah, so she's sort of got like that delicate facial structure

of a Paul Rudd. Yeah.

But also she is Mother Nature as well.

A bit of Beyonce maybe.

Wow, OK. Yeah, a bit of Queen B.

Two interesting people to put together.

Good luck. (LAUGHS)

No, I can't wait to see him as Mother Nature.

Thanks very much.

I knew you'd say Paul Rudd.

He's just a beautiful man.

We love this idea. Yeah, we both love being outdoors,

love going for a hike and doing some camping.

I'm confident enough to do the frame.

A lot of what we want

is going to come from the facial expression

which I think's the hardest part.

We want it to look serene and graceful.

Like the eyes have to be soft and it's kind of like a warm smile.

We don't want Mother Nature

to just be like this kind of blocky person.

We want that with the delicate facial feature.

Just like a... "Hmm, that's nice."

Just giving a bit of a boop here. A flower here.

She has to be flowing, we have to have nature combined with her,

so it's going to be a really technical character,

so hopefully, there will be no doubt

that it's Mother Nature walking through.

Alright, guys, you are one hour down.

One hour in.

Jeepers. Or as we say in the old days,

60 time shillings have been spent to Old Father Time.

(LAUGHTER)

Oh, man.

There's never a dull moment

in the Lego Masters universe, is there?

GUS: We're the only team that still hasn't actually got an idea.

Today's build is the ticket to finals week,

so we have to get this right.

We can have like a big (INDISTINCT) in here.

Or a plane arriving.

I was thinking a giant hand and a paintbrush,

so it's like this is a playhouse that they're actually painting.

We're thinking we're going to go with a giant hand

just painting the house, literally adding colour to the house.

We also want to add three paint tins of primary colours

because you can make any colour you want

from the three primary colours.

We always talk about having a simple idea and execute it properly

and this is a good way to do it.

The story of our build is going to be quite simple

but we think it plays to our strengths.

It's a large sculptural piece that we think we can pull off

and it's going to be big, bright and eye-catching.

Gus and David, hello. Brickman, how's it going?

I feel like I'm interrupting a moment.

You're always welcome at our table, Brickman.

Thank you very much. Appreciate it.

So, what's your idea?

We're thinking of having a large-scale hand,

probably a little bit bigger than a regular human hand,

painting the roof.

So, this is like a model?

Yeah, it's like it's a little model, someone's model

that they've built.

There's a whole bunch of paint jars around,

you know, some of it has spilled, there's, you know, stuff everywhere.

I love the idea of the big hand and the painting.

It just seems a bit obvious from you guys.

That's a very obvious 'colour your world', isn't it?

Yeah. It is. It is.

It's very, "This is our first thought."

It's literal, it's, you know, verbatim almost.

Yep. Yep.

I'm sorry to put the pressure on you this way.

But I actually have higher expectations from you guys.

What's your idea?

So, we're thinking of having a large-scale hand

painting the roof.

So, this is like a model?

Today's build, we have two inject colour into black and white houses.

I love the idea of the big hand and the painting.

It just seems a bit obvious from you guys.

That's a very obvious 'colour your world', isn't it?

Yeah. It is. It is.

It's a verbatim almost. Yep.

I'm sorry to put the pressure on you this way.

But I actually have higher expectations from you guys.

I just feel like

maybe there's something a bit more creative you can do

with your level of skill that you've brought so far.

Open your mind to being a little bit grander.

OK. Yeah.

Good luck. Thank you.

Thank you, Brickman. Thanks.

Right.

Food for thought, isn't it? Yeah, it is.

This is the last chance to get into finals week.

We have to be more imaginative.

So... OK.

What else can we do?

Another thing that I was thinking,

like a big colourful meteorite hitting the ground

and it causes an explosion of colour.

Or a creature adding colour.

I don't want to say dragon because it's too obvious

but it could be like a kind of beautiful, colourful...

Unicorn? Unicorns are pretty rainbowy and bright.

Like flying through and leaving a trail of colour behind.

In my head, the creature that I most associate with colour

is a unicorn.

So, we're going to go down the road of building unicorns

running through our build, bringing colour to our world.

There was a cartoon of a little...

'My Little Unicorn' is it called?

'My Little Pony'?

Is it 'My Little Pony'? Yeah.

I'm really liking this idea, man.

Yeah.

Is that the face?

(LAUGHS)

It's getting there.

We've had a lot of success with creatures,

so we really like this idea.

There's a lot of colour to be added. The story's really clear,

so we both ready want to build something incredible.

Yep.

Hopefully, this will be enough.

Because we with the don't want to go home at this stage.

Yeah.

Or ever. Yeah. Or any stage.

(UPBEAT '80S STYLE MUSIC)

GABBY: I just... I thought that was my stool.

(LAUGHS) RYAN: Sorry!

It's alright. You can have it now. Lucky you're on my team.

(LAUGHS)

SARAH: We may need to take up gardening after this.

I am so not a gardener.

I love flowers but more like having them bought for me.

So, right now, I'm working on Mother Nature.

I've just really got to work on her eyes,

work on her mouth, work on that expression that we want from her,

so it looks like she's got a bit of grace to her.

It looks a bit like a moustache.

The lips? Yeah.

I'm going to keep working on it.

Good to be back.

It's just a bit freer. Yeah, more colour.

I mean, it was great. I think it was a good effect.

Worthwhile.

My pants were a bit scratchy. Were they?

It's nice to be back in jeans.

Alright, guys, eight hours!

You have got eight hours to go.

You are four hours down, one third of the way through,

two thirds to go.

You guys all know about numbers.

They are looking good.

Keep it up.

This is for a spot in finals week.

Having been there before myself,

it is a week you want to be involved in.

FLEUR: Hell, yes.

Don't forget the 100,000.

And 100,000. Yes.

Ultimately.

Oh, no. Ah, we've already done that.

We've already done it. You've already done that?

Yeah, yeah. We've already done it. We already did it.

We did it, we finished. We changed.

No, it's good. OK. You go back to the brick pit. Yeah.

People have got it.

(LAUGHTER)

It's sort of already played out. OK, eight hours to go! Good stuff!

Every time!

Alrighty, Brickman.

This is all about colouring a world.

The world is provided greyscale, black and white,

beautiful '50s home

and the now it's about bringing colour to it.

As we have seen, there is so much interpretation

about how the colour comes in

and about what happens when it gets there.

The why. It's about the why

and we've got four incredibly different whys

straight from various parts of imagination. It's fantastic.

Fleur, that looks really amazing.

So, you're happy? It really does.

Yeah, it looks great. Oh, cool. OK.

HAMISH: Sarah and Fleur, the watering can

spreading colour and light through the world of the flowerpots.

I love the idea probably the most out of the four ideas.

Turning it into a planter box, I think's fantastic.

The trickiest part is of course

how are they introducing the colour out of that?

How does it flow throughout the rest of the model?

That's the difficulty.

GABBY: These tree bits are so fiddly.

HAMISH: Gabby and Ryan,

what's your favourite thing about the build?

I love the fun elements to it. There's lots of little jokes.

It really captures the Lego elements

about not taking themselves too seriously.

Nice.

What's possibly their missed opportunity?

They've been incredibly literal

and they're trying to simulate movement,

so I just think it needs something else

to show that captured-a-point-in-time moment.

HAMISH: David and Gus.

Our unicorn stampede?

Flip. Flippity flip.

It's taking shape, it's looking phenomenal.

The big thing that I can't picture yet

but that's OK 'cause I'm not building it

is this sort of - the frontier of where they're running

and the effect they're going for there.

I'd like to see the objects that the unicorns have gone past,

whether it's a car or a tree or whatever,

have been coloured because that's not an easy thing to do.

These big dark patches. I'm like, "What the hell is that?"

It's like, it's just your head creating a shadow.

HAMISH: Harrison and Michael. Where do you sit on Mother Nature?

Well, first off, I picture her being very graceful.

Yeah, right. Very -

She has a real presence about her,

and so, it's all about the pose, the look on her face...

Facial expression. ..and even things like, you know,

is her hair flowing?

But I mean, we're working with Lego bricks.

It's all about right angles and joints and square lines

and that's tricky.

HAMISH: And also, when you're doing nature,

you've already bought into a lot of green.

Green and brown.

Now, it's not the least poppiest colour but is it the most poppiest?

It's not and that's very difficult to make a statement with,

it's very difficult to go, "Pow!"

FLEUR: Do you need to be in here?

Yeah, 'cause I need to grab the foliage.

OK. If that's OK?

Yeah, let's share the foliage.

No. (LAUGHS)

You're so rude.

(LAUGHS) Where's your manners?

Respect your elders.

For the scene today, we really want to have Mother Nature

as our big centrepiece

and we wanted to make it look like she's flowing gracefully

through the scene.

Blending nature and colour together behind her.

So, Mike has been working on Mother Nature's face,

I'm finishing up the body,

and then the scenery behind her has to be coloured in

and bringing life, so I'm putting down green, earthy colour.

Michael and Harrison, hello.

Brickman. How are we doing?

We're going OK, I think.

Touch wood. Touch wood. Yeah.

Well, there we go. Very cool, very cool.

Currently, you're working on our Mother Nature?

Yes. How's she going?

Apart from being cross-eyed.

She's growing - I guess she's cross eyed a bit. Yeah.

(LAUGHS) Can I have a look?

I'm not happy with the mouth as well.

There's just something about it.

Yeah.

Faces are hard. They are super hard.

Given she's the centrepiece of your whole build,

I think you probably need to invest some time in that space.

Yes. Good luck.

Thanks very much.

How's that coming along?

I've just got to work on the face, I guess.

FLEUR: Ryan, yours is looking amazing.

Oh, thank you.

Oh, you mean the build?

Yeah. Well, you too. Love you too.

RYAN: Today, I'm just having a ball with this. Like, it's ridiculous.

This massive accident caused by a row of ducks...

(DUCKS QUACK) ..crossing the road.

Hey, Gabby and Ryan. Hi, Hamish.

Hi, Hamish.

Alright, we've got our paint truck.

Oh, my god. Is that...

The rest of the paint truck.

That is a heck of an accident.

Is that all from swerving from ducks?

Yeah.

You know, that's a twitchy driver.

(LAUGHTER)

He's managed to put the cabin of his truck

through the second story as he swerved for a duck.

What are you doing, Gab?

This is going to be a massive explosion of paint.

Like a geyser.

A geyser of paint. Is that a geyser or a geyser?

I think it's a geyser. A geyser. Geyser.

Geyser? Like an oil well.

Yeah, exactly like an oil well. Yeah, or like a geisha. A geyser.

A geyser. A geyser, a geyser.

Like when you're digging for rainbows in the desert,

you hit a rainbow well and all the rainbow colours come up.

(LAUGHTER) Right. I'm out. Well done.

GABBY: I think we've met the brief.

We've definitely added a splash of colour to this world.

So, that element of the story is down

but if we win today, we're in finals week

and there's an opportunity in this build to go bigger.

We want to show the movement of paint,

so we've decided to add a kind of paint geyser,

so the magic rainbow paint,

it's splurting as high as we can possibly go.

We might want it to have hit a low flying sort of biplane.

Go big or go home.

(LAUGHTER)

You want a tilt. Yeah, of course I do.

I knew you wanted to that. You know.

Of course I know.

Alrighty, guys. You are six down, six to go.

This is the halfway mark.

Coming in!

So many flowers.

Yes, there are so many more still to go.

Really happy about this challenge.

It's an artistic challenge which is right up our alley

and I'm just working on the greyscale side

of the flowerbed, so it's been nice and creative

and I'm really enjoying it.

Happy day. (LAUGHS)

(LAUGHS)

It's an interesting challenge to do flora and fauna in greyscale.

In Lego elements, there are not greyscale leaves,

they are not greyscale flowers.

There's nothing.

So, the challenge here

is to take pieces that are not designed for flowers

and turn them into flowers, which is NPU, nice part usage.

Yeah.

I'm going to try and use these.

And it's something I love

and this is my chance to be able to NPU all over the place!

I love that flower.

It's amazing. Yeah, they're mini fig skirts.

They're brilliant.

Go, Team Mum! (LAUGHS)

Go, Team Mothership.

Sarah and Fleur, hello.

Hi, Brickman. How are you?

I'm... It's not about me, it's about you. How are you going?

Good. Good, we think.

These flowers look amazing. Thank you.

Lots of NPU happening there.

We had to because there's not a lot of grey foliage.

We've got upside-down mini figure skirts...

Yep, yep. ..we've got knights' armour...

Yep. ..teeth...

Yep. ..a mini figure's whisk.

We've got car bonnets, steering wheels.

Yep, yep.

I reckon you've probably gone in there and said,

"Give me every grey piece there is."

I pretty much did.

But it does leave us with a bit of a problem.

You've got a lot of baseplate but there's nothing happening here.

There is no colour.

Haven't even started on the colour flowers.

'Cause for the effect, we need much more grey than there is colour.

But the entire point of this build, what we are judged on,

is why is there colour in the world?

Without it, we're going home.

I think there's a lot of work to do. Yeah.

At this stage of the competition with things being so tight,

I'm a little bit worried. Time's just going to tick away.

It does leave us with a bit of a problem.

You've got a lot of baseplate but there's nothing happening here.

There is no colour. Yep.

But hopefully, you can surpass that and get motoring. Good luck.

Cool. OK.

Thank you, Brickman.

OK.

Let's actually write down that plan

because I can get like totally geeked out on what I'm doing

and spend too much time on it.

So, we are seven hours in.

There's a lot of grey.

There's probably almost no colour.

(LAUGHS)

So, we need to really get started on the colour.

I'll just go as fast as I can

getting these brightly coloured flowers.

Sounds good.

But we also need a watering can because without that watering can,

there is no reason that the colour is in the world.

Alright, so I'll get onto this and hopefully make one.

Yep.

In my entire existence on the planet...

OK.

..I've never actually built a suspended watering can

that looks like it's floating in the air.

No pressure, Sarah, but it has to be fantastic.

Ah!

So, I'm grateful that Sarah has volunteered to take that one on

'cause I am slightly anxious.

Let's be honest.

Look at me.

I'm going to sketch you.

With a gentle kind of a...

Just hold that.

Beautiful.

(LAUGHS)

Make me look like Paul Rudd, please.

Alrighty, guys. You have got three hours to go.

Far out. One quarter of the time left.

No pressure. Can we do it?

Yes, we can. You can.

You really can.

There we go. That's not too bad actually.

Oh, yeah.

Oh, yes! Yes.

Ryan and Gab, how's it going?

Very well, actually.

Yeah, looking great.

Oh, thank you.

The ducks are obviously still the culprits...

That's right. ..that's caused the swerve.

They've actually caused another accident, hopefully.

Hopefully? What are you...

(LAUGHS) What a sicko.

She's pretty sadistic. (LAUGHS)

So, we've also got a log truck which has come to a sudden halt

and the logs have slid forwards

and then our rainbow truck's gone up the logs into the house.

Far out.

Because it was important to get the aerodynamics right.

(LAUGHS)

Um... And everything else good?

Yeah.

Everything's good? I think so.

Things have been going pretty well.

This is a nice episode.

The trouble with that is we're a little low on drama.

Generally?

Like brick pit nice and tidy?

Actually, it's unusually tidy

without Owen and Scott in the room. (LAUGHS)

(LAUGHS) It's unusually tidy? OK.

Now, there is a trick you can pull in TV and it's the storm-out.

But you need a reason to storm out.

On my side of the fence, everything good?

Like, time calls are going well? Yeah, you're doing well. Yeah.

I've enjoyed them. They've been helpful.

They've been helpful?

The time calls have been really super helpful.

Out of ten, what would you give me for my time calls today?

I was going to go 6.5.

That's my score for the time calls? So, not perfect?

Well, I don't want you to peak too soon.

I do not have to take this.

I've had an absolute gutful. I'm walking. I'm walking.

Don't you dare film this a little bit. Stop.

Hard to get good talent, isn't it?

Diva.

The thing about storm-outs

is once you get a taste of that power...

Who would you say has the better beard

out of me and Gus? (LAUGHS)

They can get a bit addictive.

I gotta go with Gus.

You're going with Gus? Yeah, yeah.

I mean...

You really think he's got a better beard than me?

Yes, I do.

I've had a gutful of this. This is ridiculous. I'm out of here.

(DRAMATIC MUSIC BUILDS)

I'll definitely do a drip there. Hi!

Hi, Sarah, Fleur. How you going? Really well, thank you.

I don't have to stand here and listen to this!

(DRAMATIC MUSIC BUILDS)

Oh! Jeepers! Oh! Oooh.

A man has to know when he's had too many storm-outs.

(LAUGHS) Sorry! Just looking for... Whoopsie.

Just trying to get a bit of drama in the episode.

Storming back in. Let's play on.

Anyway, back to building. Yeah, yes.

(LAUGHTER)

(UPLIFTING MUSIC BUILDS)

Where's the spout? It'll be here.

Yep. Yep, good.

This is gonna be our moment, Sarah.

We're gonna smash it out today.

Don't say 'smash'.

No, we're not... I don't like any smash words.

No, we're not smashing it. We're owning it.

Finals Week, baby.

(MOMENTOUS MUSIC BUILDS)

Cool.

Sorry!

Stop stealing our house idea, mate.

Just 'cause we've got the only one left intact.

(LAUGHS) I just can't remember how I put the roof back on.

You can touch it if you like. Yep, cool.

(MOMENTOUS MUSIC SWELLS)

For today's build, our idea is to have Mother Nature

bringing new life and colour into the black and white world,

and Brickman's really put the pressure on us

to get Mother Nature right.

But I feel like I'm getting somewhere with Mother Nature's face.

She's got a better expression.

Oooh, yeah! I like that.

Like, blowing, just like a...

Really soft cheeks coming in, lips pursing out.

But Mother Nature is butt naked at this point in time.

♪ Gotta make a dress otherwise we're going home

♪ Gotta make a dress or else we are going home... ♪

Mother Nature is gonna be wearing a beautiful leafy green dress,

but designing a dress in LEGO is really hard.

I'm thinking something like that, and just drape those down like that.

So, we're trying to get something flowing really well,

and a bit of a light bulb moments goes on.

We can even use these and just clip stuff off those,

'cause these are pretty flexible.

Yeah, I like that.

So, we're gonna do something with the net

to have it drape there like that.

Yeah.

And we can even have a bit more stuff draping off of it.

Yep.

Using the netting, attaching all the tiles on one by one,

will be a bit of a skirt for her.

And it actually bends really nicely.

More leaves.

And then having flowers and stuff growing off her

will really just help sell the Mother Nature character.

I like that... quite a fair bit, actually.

(MOMENTOUS MUSIC BUILDS)

(UPLIFTING ELECTRONIC MUSIC)

GUS: Yeah, we're doing quite well.

I'm just putting the finishing touches on the unicorns now.

Dave's going with the scenic stuff at the minute,

and then we're really gonna start putting things in position.

One unicorn would have been great,

but many unicorns - a marvel of unicorns - is marvellous.

DAVID: While Gus is working on the unicorn,

I'm adding green to the grass,

I'm changing the colours of the house.

I'm making sure that it's really, really colourful

and really, really happy,

whatever is happening behind the unicorn.

(UPLIFTING MUSIC CONTINUES)

Hey, David and Gus, can I borrow you guys for a tick?

Please.

Have you stood back and had a look?

(TENSE INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC)

It's almost like it's too busy. Yeah.

The unicorns themselves,

and I think the posing and the way you've got them all is great,

but there's a lot of other colour

which is distracting and taking away from that.

It's about why the colour.

(DRAMATIC MUSIC SWELLS)

And right now, the colour isn't strategic.

Yeah, yeah. Good luck, guys.

Yeah, thanks. Thanks. Thanks, Brickman.

You need to justify that the colour

has been injected into the world, alright?

What is bringing the colours?

(SIGHS)

So, we need to figure out

how to make the colour a more intentional thing.

(MOMENTOUS MUSIC BUILDS)

FLEUR: Are you happy? Yeah. It looks great.

Watering can's up and it's like a flipping miracle from heaven!

It's, like, oh, my god, it's not falling down, it's not falling.

Could it fall down? No, it's not!

Yes, yes, yes! Lord, yes! Yes! Whoo-hoo!

So happy!

(ELECTRONIC BEEPING)

Alrighty, guys, you have got one hour.

(SIREN WHOOPS) Oooh!

One hour to go.

You always think it's a long way away, and then it's not.

Yep.

One hour until we find out who is going to Finals Week.

They are looking great! Good luck.

And of course, one team has only an hour to go here on LEGO Masters.

Don't let that be you.

(DRAMATIC MUSIC BUILDS)

Thank you. The light is back.

Alrighty, Brickman, funny now that we've got changed.

You know, we were in greyscale before, in black and white.

Interesting how Fleur... did you notice Fleur's reaction,

how she thought we both looked incredible?

Um, I don't mean to burst your bubble at all,

but I think, uh...

No, no, she certainly mentioned you,

but I think the general vibe for her was both equally as...

I don't think so, champ.

(DRAMATIC MUSIC SWELLS)

I don't have to take this.

(DRAMATIC MUSIC CONTINUES)

(SIGHS)

Yes! Got another one.

(UPBEAT ELECTRONIC MUSIC)

That's four storm-outs, baby! Four storm-outs!

Suck on that, 'MAFS'!

(MOMENTOUS MUSIC BUILDS)

Alright, guys, you got 30 minutes.

30 minutes to go before we will see who takes it out.

A herd of unicorns, an exploding rainbow truck,

a magical watering can, or Mother Nature herself?

Good luck!

OK.

RYAN: About enough there for you, or do you want more?

(LAUGHS) Oh, Ryan, you're a genius.

That looks awesome.

We are literally spelling out "rainbow paint"

on the side of the tanker.

This is not subtle. (LAUGHS)

There's nothing subtle about this build.

No, but this build is all about the aesthetic and the creativity,

and I think we have absolutely delivered on that.

Coming out!

How many would you like? How... where did you find them?

There's a tray of just ducks and bluebirds.

I don't know, do you think the more, the funnier?

Dare I actually dream to get to Finals week?

Well, that looks lovely, then, doesn't it?

(UPBEAT ELECTRONIC MUSIC)

You right? Yep.

Everything looks the way it should look.

We have a huge contrast, with a lot of grey scale,

with coloured flowers in the middle.

If I did this panel that came out from here...

Yep.

..then I can put flowers onto that. Do that.

So that it kind of gives... Beautiful.

We just need to make sure it looks like the colour

is very definitely pouring from the watering can,

because the entire point of this build

is why is there colour in the world?

Love that. Yep, beautiful.

Alright, everyone, ten minutes.

Ten tiny minutes, but ten big minutes as well.

It could all come down to these final ten.

(MOMENTOUS MUSIC BUILDS)

Stand back, stand back. Yep.

Does that look like Mother Nature?

Yeah, that's better.

Mother Nature is finally together,

we means we can finally focus on the rest of the scene,

because our base plate has not a lot on it.

Oh, there's so much space to fill out.

So quickly. Too quickly.

Too quickly. Way too quickly.

But this is so important, given how close the competition is,

because the challenge is to bring in colour through a story.

And so we have to make it really obvious

that Mother Nature is, like...

..just breathing life back through a tree,

and that's bringing colour into the world.

(MOMENTOUS MUSIC CONTINUES)

Is she still good? OK. She's still standing. That's fine.

The problem with colour being introduced through nature

is that you've only got greens and browns to work with for a lot of it.

So, that's gonna be tough to make it pop.

I think, after this, I might take a break from building unicorns.

We're thinking to associate each coloured unicorn

with a streak of individual colour,

so that red horse is making things red,

green, green, blue, blue, blah, blah, blah.

DAVID: We have a red convertible

with a yellow stripe coming from the yellow unicorn.

This guy has just fallen. That's awesome.

And some dude screaming because he's getting coloured as well.

That's what's gonna give us the story.

That's what's gonna give us the, you know, adding of the colour.

We gotta move, man. We gotta move.

BRICKMAN: Where do you sit on the number of ducks?

I say... I almost think you can't have enough ducks.

If you think about how far it's gone

and they're still all crossing the road.

(DRAMATIC MUSIC BUILDS)

I just think many ducks,

that provides a solid barrier of ducks

for an accident to have occurred.

I understand. I appreciate... Well, DO you understand?

Because I mean... well, we've gotta do a minute time call,

but if we're not finished this, I'll take it right back up with you again.

One minute!

Final minute! Final minute to go!

Yeah, because if it's lots and lots of ducks,

they can't have swerved, so that's why they've slammed on the brakes.

That's how the truck's gone up.

But they can't swerve... they would have run over the ducks...

That's why they've swerved the other way.

But they haven't swerved the other way. They've swerved into the ducks.

I actually want one grey flower. I want one grey flower.

I'm gonna steal that one there.

(DRIVING ELECTRONIC BEATS)

Chimney's on.

But they're walking that way...

Yeah, so, they're swerving to the tail - the tail of the ducks.

20 seconds! Oh, Jesus!

Hey, we're at the end of the build. I mean, there's nothing we can do.

FLEUR: Well done, hon. Oooh! Shaky, shaky, shaky.

GUS: No, don't touch it.

Ten seconds! Don't touch it. Let it wobble.

MICHAEL: Don't touch it. Yep.

Seven, six, five, four,

three, two, one!

Yay! (LAUGHS)

That is it! BRICKMAN: Well done, everybody.

That is 12 hours of solid colour work.

Amazing builds. Amazing.

Well done.

We started black and white and we have come a long way.

That looks incredible. Great job, everybody.

Well done, everyone. DAVID: We did our best.

I know. Amazing!

I feel sick.

That looks awesome! Thank you.

(DRAMATIC MUSIC SWELLS)

(UPLIFTING MUSIC BUILDS)

(BIRDSONG)

(UPLIFTING MUSIC CONTINUES)

(MACHINERY WHIRRS)

(UPLIFTING MUSIC CONTINUES)

(PLANE DRONES)

(NEIGHING)

(UPLIFTING MUSIC CONTINUES)

Alrighty, guys, four hours ago,

you were given four identical black and white houses

with the objective to colour them.

One of the things you notice about the Brick Pit

is there is a lot of colourful LEGO in there,

but Brickman's big instruction was,

"What is bringing the colour and how is it doing it?"

I want to see what Brickman's thoughts are.

Sarah and Fleur, let's have a look at you guys.

(APPLAUSE)

I'm so nervous, because we want to be in Finals Week so badly.

Absolutely.

I'd donate a child to be in Finals Week.

When you first had the idea in your head to now,

do you feel like the idea has come out as you hoped?

We love this build. Really happy with it, yep.

It's definitely what we were going for -

sort of a pop of colour amongst the grey.

(MOMENTOUS MUSIC BUILDS)

(BIRDSONG)

Our house is a planter box

with the watering can above it,

pouring the water that's colouring the flowers.

(MOMENTOUS MUSIC CONTINUES)

We have a huge contrast, with much more greyscale than colour.

(MOMENTOUS MUSIC SWELLS)

Now, the whole point of today's build

was, how is colour being introduced into the black and white world,

and then what's happening once it's in there?

What's your take, Brickman?

First off, you spent almost as much time in the black and white.

Mm-hm. Yes.

That's a very big risk to take,

but you had to to emphasise where the colour came out.

And I not only think it was quite a risk...

..I actually think it really paid off.

(GASPS)

This build draws you in.

It is striking. It is incredibly imaginative.

It is your passion, and you know what,

the brief of bringing colour to this world, you absolutely did.

Thank you.

And once you get in there,

you see all sorts of crazy different LEGO elements.

Yeah. Yep.

Car bonnets, wheels, cogs, gear levers, upside down dresses.

Legs. SNOT bricks, legs.

You name it. It's like they all belong.

It's a very fine balance and it is really hard to get,

and so to see what you guys have done in this build,

well done, ladies.

Well done.

Thank you! Thank you very much!

(UPLIFTING MUSIC SWELLS)

You did really well, yeah. Thank you so much.

I honestly have goose bumps hearing Brickman's feedback.

It's so positive, but makes the nerves ten fold.

Michael and Harrison.

(APPLAUSE)

(TINKLING INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC)

Fellas, we started with our black and white world.

We now have Mother Nature herself -

trespassing, it has to be said, in this front garden,

but bringing the world to life.

(STIRRING INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC)

MICHAEL: We've built Mother Nature

bringing new life into the black and white world.

HARRISON: And everyone having a good time behind her.

(CHILDREN LAUGH)

Mother Nature really took over our build.

We put so much time into her

that we sort of neglected everything else.

We think we're probably in the gun today,

because this build was a lot about the story,

and our story is a bit muddled.

How are you guys feeling?

She had a lot of iterations in terms of how she looked,

and we're happy enough with the final expression we've got,

and we think we've brought colour in an interesting way.

OK. Brickman, what are your thoughts?

So, prior to LEGO Masters,

characters weren't really your thing.

I'm really glad that over time, you've started to introduce them

and build them into your LEGO skill repertoire.

Mother Nature, she is, by far and away,

the most technical of all of those characters you've done.

First off is her skirt.

You've used a technique, which is to take a cargo net,

but because it's made of string,

it allows it to flow and bend.

You've also got things like, on her headband,

little golden rings to hold flowers together on the top.

They're actually from 'Lord Of The Rings - The Fellowship Of The Ring'.

So, you guys have pulled absolutely every trick out of the bag

as far as nice part usage,

and it's fantastic to see.

Unfortunately, at this point in the competition,

when we're down to four brilliant teams,

the focus of my attention sharpens.

BRICKMAN: Unfortunately, at this point in the competition,

when we're down to four brilliant teams,

the focus of my attention sharpens.

I'm not 100% sold on the story of bringing colour to the world.

The challenge is, "Colour your world."

It's not, "Bring life to your world."

We already have life in here.

We have trees already.

So, there are probably different ways to introduce colour,

as opposed to life.

It's a very fine balance.

The unfortunately thing for you is,

because we already have a version of life here,

it's a little bit lost.

But a great build, guys. Well done. Beautiful, guys.

(APPLAUSE)

Could have been worse.

We sort of missed the brief by about this much,

which, in a competition when it's this close,

is enough to send us home.

Gabby and Ryan, let's have a look.

(APPLAUSE)

I really like it! I like it. It's a cool-looking build.

We know that we do the best builds when we're having fun,

and this was fun.

(MOMENTOUS MUSIC BUILDS)

A rainbow paint truck

avoids a row of ducks that are crossing the road...

(TYRES SCREECH, QUACKING)

Launches into the roof.

(CRASH!)

Creating a fountain of paint.

(MOMENTOUS MUSIC CONTINUES)

And everything it drops on becomes coloured, splashed with paint.

(MOMENTOUS MUSIC SWELLS)

Guys, rainbow paint.

Good god, it's a dangerous product, isn't it?

'Cause if that goes into the second storey of your nice home,

it's coming out with lots of pressure through the roof.

How do you guys feel at the end of these 12 hours?

I'm quite amused by it. It's a really funny build.

And I love that it was born from a simple statement from your son,

saying, "Where's the rainbow paint?"

There it is - coming through the roof.

The bits where the colour is in the world,

but also the bits where the colour isn't,

I reckon, has been used to great effect.

Brickman, what are your thoughts?

LEGO is inherently funny. It's self-deprecating.

Minifigures love to have a joke.

They love... silly, crazy things happen in LEGO City all the time,

and that's exactly what is happening here.

This build is funny.

It's colourful.

It's doing what it needs to do,

and when you guys are having fun, that comes out in the LEGO.

Yep.

But there's one thing, I think, that sets it apart

from all of the other builds.

I think you were incredibly smart with how you didn't build LEGO,

and by that, I mean by leaving the sheer volume of monochrome behind.

This build, whilst it's called Colour My World,

is all about contrasting colours and what pops against it.

You've actually enhanced the monochrome build

by adding other parts to it.

The little lawnmower guy, in particular, I thought was fantastic.

The little bushes. You know, you've added cars.

You've added things in the monochrome world,

which have enhanced it further.

It's actually drawn us more into the colour,

and what's happening with the colour.

And lastly, it doesn't make sense,

but the fact that the ducks are coloured...

(LAUGHTER)

..I absolutely love.

Well done, guys. Great work. Thank you.

(LAUGHTER)

(UPLIFTING MUSIC CONTINUES)

Gus and David. (APPLAUSE)

DAVID: I'm looking around the room and I think we might be bottom two.

There's not a lot of contrast in our build.

There's a lot of colour.

So, we haven't given it that chance to pop against the black and white.

Fellas, the first unicorn stampede we've had on LEGO Masters.

How does it feel?

We started with one unicorn, and then to end up with five -

you know, to make it into the stampede is quite satisfying.

It's a unicorn breeders dream.

(MOMENTOUS MUSIC BUILDS)

(NEIGHING)

It's an impressive build to us.

There's five unicorns, with colour streaks and rainbows,

bursting through our scene,

painting the world in colour.

We just really, really hope that we've done enough

to not be eliminated today.

Brickman, where's your head at for this build?

First off, no doubt we have a reason as to why colour is in the world,

which is the main component.

That's the key part to the story.

The unicorns are amazing. They are absolutely amazing.

Thanks.

You did one of the best tricks

that you can possibly do on LEGO Masters -

That's to take something and replicate it.

You'd done all of the hard work in designing one.

All you had to worry about was changing the colours.

Yep.

It's a cheap trick, but it's a brilliant trick!

However, we has, essentially, an eight-hour build already

before you even picked up a LEGO brick.

It was an opportunity to use what you already had

to then really make a statement of that colour.

If it had just been as simple as the five unicorns,

each with their own individual trail,

and the rest was black and white,

I think that would have been much more impactful.

Yep.

Some of these unicorns are lost,

or the trail of what they've done and how they've brought colour

has been lost.

(DRAMATIC MUSIC BUILDS)

They're still beautiful unicorns,

but I don't think this is quite up to your usual high standards today.

(DRAMATIC MUSIC BUILDS)

If I was feeling uncomfortable about the build before,

right now I'm feeling less and less comfortable.

(APPLAUSE)

I don't know if it's gonna be enough to keep us in the competition,

give us a spot for Finals Week.

Alrighty, guys, four black and white houses.

Four very different, very imaginative ways

that colour is coming into those houses,

and four spectacular worlds once colour has arrived,

however, only three teams will be joining Scotty and Owen

in Finals Week.

Sadly, one team will leave us today.

Brickman, your overall thoughts?

So, when we started this challenge, we had monochrome -

a very bland and boring world.

There is absolutely no question

we now have brought colour to all of them in amazing ways.

So, the first team I would like to call forward

to join Scott and Owen is...

(DRAMATIC MUSIC BUILDS)

..Ryan and Gabby!

(CHEERING AND APPLAUSE) FLEUR: Well done!

Oh, my god!

Great job, guys. (APPLAUSE)

We didn't even dare to dream we would make it to Finals Week.

So, it's beyond a dream come true.

For a team that has been eliminated,

to be heading into Finals Week - absolutely unprecedented.

And there's no question in my mind,

looking at what you've built, you've hit your straps,

and it bodes incredibly well for Finals Week.

I can't wait. Well done.

Thank you.

Yay! Go us! It's a good feeling.

How cool is that?

The next team that I would like to invite through to Finals Week is...

(DRAMATIC MUSIC BUILDS)

..Sarah and Fleur.

Ahh! Well done!

Yay!

(APPLAUSE)

For me, imagining my four-year-old son

going, "My mum made it to Finals Week."

Oh, yes!

What mum could ask for more than that?

There's nothing better than having the admiration of your children.

My kids are gonna be so proud of me,

because I think my kids never thought that I'd be capable of this

and it's such a thing to go,

"If you set your mind to something, you can do anything in the world."

And it's exciting.

Look - you're finally crying! (LAUGHS)

(APPLAUSE)

I never cry!

It's just... anyway. Yeah.

Yeah, it's really amazing.

So, that leaves us two teams.

Sadly, one of the teams will be leaving us today.

(TENSE INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC)

The builds are amazing.

The quality of LEGO builds, both of you, are astounding.

They really are.

Gus and David - aesthetically, beautiful colours,

and what better than unicorns to bring those amazing colours?

Michael and Harrison,

probably the most technical build

you've pulled off so far on LEGO Masters.

Absolutely, you get a big tick for your technical build today.

It really has forced me down to the nitty-gritty,

and storytelling, today, is where that nitty-gritty was determined.

Gus and David, your story was crystal clear

as to why colours were in your world...

(DRAMATIC MUSIC BUILDS)

..and that saved you today.

Unfortunately, Michael and Harrison,

your LEGO Masters journey has ended.

(STIRRING INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC)

Well, congratulations to Gus and Dave.

(APPLAUSE)

Harrison and Michael, as Brickman said,

at this stage in the competition, there's obviously no bad builds.

There's just tiny, tiny areas where a nit can be picked.

You guys have built some amazing things. How are you feeling?

Oh, we feel pretty luck to be here, really.

Yeah.

We've learnt a ton along the way, met some amazing people,

and I guess to go out on that - like, how can we be upset on that?

Coming into the competition,

we were both a little unsure of our skills

and where we stand in relation to,

you know, the greatest LEGO builders in Australia.

You've got some crazy LEGO elements doing crazy things.

(BRICKS RATTLE)

He's got moobs. (BOTH LAUGH)

What you did was take a massive gamble, and I love that.

Way cool. Totally way cool.

I think we proved to ourselves

that we actually can build some really cool stuff.

Well done, Michael and Harrison.

(CHEERING AND APPLAUSE)

We have been eliminated.

But I think we go out on a high as well.

Yeah.

It's been awesome having you guys on the show.

We will miss you. We will clap you out.

Thank you, guys. Thanks, guys. Thanks so much.

You guys are the best, OK?

(CHEERING AND APPLAUSE) See you guys later.

SARAH: Well done, guys.

(APPLAUSE)

We were pretty happy with what we did,

and the four teams that went through are very deserving.

Yep.

(CONTESTANTS EXCLAIM)

Next time...

There's a reason Brickman is Brickman.

Uh, yeah.

Good luck! Go, go, go!

(MOMENTOUS MUSIC BUILDS)

It's the penultimate episode!

..it's Finals Week...

(MOMENTOUS MUSIC SWELLS)

Yes!

We have to build something that lives on a tree.

Whoa! (LAUGHS)

..and the challenge to go out on a limb...

SCOTT: So, it's not enough to just build a village of elves.

Owen's decided to make the challenge even harder

by branching out from the existing branch.

This is a terrible idea.

Are you nuts?

Is this the first time you've put the head on?

Yep. Ohh!

..is all that stands between our final four and the finale.

There's a little bit more.

Ohh!

Unless, of course, I drop another surprise.

Oh, no! (LAUGHS)

(CONTESTANTS EXCLAIM AND LAUGH)
