Will: Last week,
Cuddly kittens swarmed the studio
As the teams built interactive pet palaces.
Kittens. Kittens everywhere.
School teachers luis and alex
Went paws-itively huge with sid's shed,
But it was neena and sam
Who clawed their way back to the top,
- Winning the golden brick. - Thank you.
Jordan and chris' creation never came together,
Causing a near cat-astrophe.
This is the one model I don't feel comfortable with from a safety perspective.
In the end, it was party grandmas
Karen and amie that failed to impress.
And now it's time for the most explosive episode of the season.
Oh!
Will: You're gonna build the volcano.
We're gonna set them off for the most epic eruptions you've ever seen.
- Rise! - It's a race to complete
The ring of fire with epic volcanic islands
Before mount bricksuvius erupts.
- Ooh, uh-oh. - Let's blow this thing.
Can neena and sam hang onto the golden brick,
Or will a surprise villain emerge
And have the last laugh?
- ( laughing maniacally ) - not bad.
Get ready for the most epic eruptions ever.
Let's blow it!
"lego masters" starts now.
( rumbling )
( thunder )
Man: All right, here we go.
Five, four, three, two...
- Ooh! - Oh, my god!
- It's a volcano. - Volcano!
- ( thunder )
- Aah! - Whoa!
( overlapping chatter )
Oh, wow.
Giant volcano!
( gasps )
Kaboom. Kaboom.
- ( cheering ) - okay!
- Whoo! - All right, all right.
Hey! Oh.
- Oh. - Oh, wow.
Hello, builders.
- Hello! - Hi, will.
You look kind of nervous. What's up?
Oh, that?
No, that's just-- that's mount bricksuvius.
- Oh! - Bricksuvius.
Don't worry. It's a totally dormant volcano
That only erupts once every 150 years
Or during the first four seasons of a hit show on fox.
- ( thunder ) - ooh!
Oh!
Behind me, surrounding mount bricksuvius
In our ring of fire,
We've scoured the globe to gather ten build bases
From five different environments--
Tropical jungles, deserts,
Arctic ice, oceans and seas,
And above the clouds.
So in this challenge, you're gonna grab an environment
And build the world, they myth, the legend, and the volcano.
Nice.
Then once your build is complete,
We're gonna load your molten mountains up
And set them off for the most epic eruptions you've ever seen.
- Yeah! - Whoo!
We're not science teachers, but we know how to make great volcanoes.
It's definitely gonna be a blast.
Just like you planned it. You did it. Nailed it.
Brickmasters, what are you looking for this week?
This challenge is really a chance for you to showcase
Your storytelling through the bricks.
We want you to create epic legends
And really lean into the theme of your chosen environments.
Our teams have five different themed environments for their builds,
But with ten teams, that means that each environment has two teams building for it.
So I'm hoping our teams can differentiate their build
And rise up from the competition.
Neena and sam,
In the last episode you earned the golden brick.
- Can we see it? - It's right here.
Will: Oh, look at that. It looks so happy.
That brick provides protection from elimination once it's been activated.
Sam: Having the golden brick really means that
The target is definitely on our backs this round.
But we're ready to crush three in a row?
- Three in a row? - I think we can.
All right, on my call, you're gonna run in there
And grab a base that will determine
What kind of world you're building.
You have 20 hours to create an incredible island world
Before they erupt.
- Oh, my... - What?
- Wow! - 20 hours.
So...
- Ooh. - He's angry.
Uh, you know what? On second thought,
I don't think that that thing is gonna make it 20 hours.
So let's just be safe. Let's be safe and say 12 hours.
- Ah! - Yes! Okay.
Now, quick, before we make it angry,
Get your brick on!
( overlapping chatter )
Arctic, kelly. Go, kelly! Go, kelly!
- I'm almost done. - Okay, we'll do desert.
- Move, move, move. - Oh.
( panting )
- Beep, beep, beep, beep! - Wheel it out.
We're wheeling them. We're wheeling them.
- Wow. Nice. - Perfect.
All right, let's do some planning.
You wanna do an egyptian themed one?
- Really lean into the desert. - So, what's above clouds?
How about a galaxy? Uh, space?
Space, planets. Planet.
Ben: So we'll have the volcano in the back.
- Okay. - So our pipe will go back there,
And that's going to determine the height of the volcano.
Paul: A waterwheel could be right here, for example.
If you wanna do it, fine.
You literally are not gonna be able to control that lava like that.
So we chose arctic ice as our environment,
And for our legend, we're thinking of building a dragon on an arctic island.
A group of travelers decide to visit the island.
We're planning on having lava turning the water wheel.
We also want to have someone zip line from the volcano.
I feel like that's too complicated and it's going to be confusing.
But it'll be so cool to see this though.
Yeah, it would. But, no.
- Go, go, go! - Yeah!
- Hurry up. - Aah! Too short.
Oh, my freaking hell. Kelly, this is so much.
We got it. Yeah, this is gonna take a while.
I've built a lego volcano with my kids before,
But it was just bricks stacked in a square.
But never anything at this mass.
Where are they? Just look--
They're both wearing pink?
I haven't-- oh, there they are.
- Oh, my gosh. Hi. - Hi, will.
Will: You guys got above the clouds.
Yeah, I got above the clouds, yes.
- Stoked about it. - Yes.
Who else is having above the clouds?
- Melanie and allyson. - Oh, yes, allyson and melanie.
- Mm-hmm. - Have you happened to check theirs out yet?
- I have not seen theirs. - No.
We're hoping it's not the same as ours.
So we're building rainmaker island,
Which is an island surrounding the top part of a volcano
Up in the sky where the rainmakers live,
And they use the power of the lava from the volcano to make it rain.
Make it rain!
How high are you going above the clouds?
- Are we gonna see the clouds? - Yeah, these are clouds right here.
- Oh, these are clouds? - Don't look at them right now, okay?
- They're not done. - It's a work in progress.
- One out of ten. - Well, kelly built that one.
Wow! Wow.
- I know. - Did you feel yourself get thrown under the bus?
I've got a long way to go. I know it.
- Is she tough on you? - No!
She's a little bit hard on me, yeah.
She is, right? I knew it.
I just do what emilee says.
Kelly, blink twice if you need help.
- We're making waves. - Man, you got it.
You and the overalls.
The legend of our volcanic island
Is a major city finally had the last great flood
And is submerged undersea.
And so the people, they adapt by becoming fish people.
Hey, you know the thing about the fish people?
They're so good, they're gonna tip the scales in our favor.
Oh, hey, there, em.
Palm trees. You can do trees, right?
- 'cause we need to have the jungle theme, right? - Yeah.
We ended up getting the tropical jungle environment.
So our legend is that there's a group of villagers
On this island to praise the legendary fire god
Who will protect them from any invaders.
So there's going to be these statues of fearsome warriors,
And as the lava flows in our moat,
They're gonna turn and face the lava with swords outstretched.
I think our idea is pretty killer, dude.
Okay, we wanna go about, what, like here?
- For what, the first level? - Mm-hmm.
Aubree and ryan, who happen to have the same environment as us,
Also happen to be conveniently placed directly next to us.
What I'm trying to say is how do you wanna design this?
- If you're telling me... - Which allows it to be
A really easy way to gather intel.
He likes to peek behind our shoulders, so...
( clearing throat )
Hey, buddy. Just looking around.
I mean, to just check up on how they're doing.
I see also you have a jungle. I'm just kind of getting a feel
For what's going on here, you know?
Because I just-- I like having you both here.
Oh, thank you. We like having you guys here, too.
If the judges directly compare us, it's just, like-- I don't know.
- It's not good for either of us. - Well, worse for one.
Aubree: The legend of our volcanic island
Is that there's an ancient temple deep within the jungle that has hidden gold.
So our plan for our build is to use a lot
Of vibrant greens and different plant colors,
And also cool water features crashing up on our beach.
We wanna make sure that our island really screams "an island."
- Okay, well, good luck. - You know what? We'll see when we're done.
Yeah, we'll see when we're done.
I think we're different enough that it should be okay,
But I'm keeping my on them just in case.
Good luck to you, too.
So we are really exploding out of the gate this season
- With some red hot challenges, huh? - Yeah. Mm-hmm.
What are we subjecting our core builders to this time besides my jokes?
Amy: Well, for this challenge, we're asking our teams
To build volcanic islands.
They've picked from five different themed environments,
And we want them to tell great stories and have a lava eruption.
Will: That's sounds very difficult.
Also in play in this challenge is the golden brick...
- Yeah. - Yes.
...Currently being held by neena and sam.
- This is a volcano. - Having that golden brick,
Really, in a challenge like this,
Major advantage, yeah, jamie?
Jamie: Definitely. They've got that safety--
Sorry, did I just int-erupt you?
Oh!
We might win this one, ben.
Don't say that. Don't say that yet.
Okay. I won't say it.
I'm david, aka poppy.
And I'm ben.
I'm a student at the university of virginia
Studying architecture.
I bought ben his first lego set
When he was four years old.
That's sort of what inspired me to go into architecture.
Poppy's the gearhead. He knows everything about mechanisms.
And I know a lot about aesthetics
And how to make something look nice.
- Hello, poppy and ben. - Hey, jamie and amy.
- Hey there. - Hi.
Tell us a little bit about what environment you got.
So we're building this very opulent, rich society
That lives in the desert under the shadow of this volcano.
And they've been getting all of their riches
By mining inside of the volcano.
But on this occasion, they've dug a little too deep
And they've awoken this ancient scorpion god.
And when that lava comes down,
It'll cover our scorpion creature
And flush out all of our tyrannical monarchs.
If you have a fluid, and you narrow the channel a little bit,
- It speeds up the volume. - Okay.
So it's called bernoulli's principle.
Let's see if we can get our lava to flow a little faster.
And tell them where you learned that.
So I've been messing around with antique cars for a long time.
The same principle with a carburetor.
It's a storytelling challenge,
But that wonderful fluid dynamics thing
You were talking about can be magical if you pull it off.
Yeah.
You gonna want some coffee?
Alex: It's gonna taste even better.
We're absolutely proud cubans.
We're both first generation.
Luis: So our cafecito's our secret weapon.
A cafecito is cuban style coffee.
It's an espresso with probably way too much sugar in it.
It's basically a nitro boost. It's our fuel.
It's gonna help us destroy the competition.
So the environment we got is oceans and seas.
The legend of our island is an ancient civilization
Built a temple to their sea god.
They filled it with offerings and treasure.
Some divers have discovered it,
They're trying to break into the temple.
When the lava flows to the face, the eyes will open.
Sam: Luis, two cream, please!
- Bless your soul. - Luis: Yeah. Enjoy it.
- Cheers. - Cheers.
- That is really wonderful. - Oh, oh!
I realize I'm gonna need to reinforce the wall
Because we don't want lava seeping through.
- Gentlemen. What's happening? - Hey.
- Your theme is tropical jungle. - Jungle.
- Yes. - Who else out here is doing the tropical jungle?
Actually, they are right next to us.
- Ryan and aubree are also doing the tropical jungle. - Oh.
- Right next to each-- - yeah.
- Right next to each other. - They didn't see our notes or anything.
- Christopher: No, no. - Did you look at their notes?
- Hey, let me explain. - Let's take a look.
He likes to peek behind our shoulders, so...
( clearing throat )
Hey, buddy. Just looking around.
- It turns out you did. - Mm. Oh, boy.
You know, evil will is dead, so maybe you could step in.
Right. I have been described as a villain in my normal life many times.
- Have you? - Right.
I'm all for equal opportunity for villains.
We like having representation
When it comes to villains appearing onscreen,
So we are more than happy to take that role.
So as the villain, do you have an evil laugh?
- Oh, yeah. - Really?
- Let's hear it. - Let's hear it, chris.
( laughing maniacally )
( thunder )
( laughing maniacally )
- Not bad. - Thank you.
- Can I try? - Thank you.
( forced maniacal laugh )
- ( coughs ) - yeah.
Jordan: Gotta get this flywheel set up.
- Hello. - Jordan and chris, hello.
Hello, brickmasters. How are you doing?
Firstly, tell us what environment you got.
So we thought we got the dessert environment for a second.
- We were really excited... - Delicious.
So we have the desert environment.
We're kind of leaning into an egyptian type of a theme.
The archeologists have disturbed an ancient power,
And the obelisk will be erupting the lava out the top of it.
- Okay. - And how are you working that into a volcano?
Because we are asking each of you to have a volcano.
Um, yeah, so it's not gonna be a traditional cone shape.
It's gonna come out of the top of the obelisk.
If we can get the fluid all kind of concentrated through here,
The idea is to drive this big waterwheel.
Then we'll have a giant snake rise up out of the sand.
We were in the bottom two last time,
So we're gonna be swinging for the fences to get back up in the top.
You definitely have some very exciting ideas,
- And we love the idea of the surprise snake... - Yeah, that's great.
...Popping out as well, so just make sure you really deliver.
- ( rumbling ) - ooh.
- Whoa. - Oh, no.
- Okay. - That sound means there are six hours left.
- ( overlapping chatter ) - oh, my gosh.
- That's right. - What? What?
Or that mount bricksuvius is angry.
I don't exactly speak volcano.
I just know that you gotta keep building!
- ( screaming ) - whoo!
Oh, my god, ben, what'd you get me into here?
( imitating choir singing )
This makes a real impression on people that come by
- To see you, doesn't it? - Oh, it absolutely does.
How does it feel to have the golden brick?
Ah, well, it's a sigh of relief.
But tell us what you got for an environment.
So we've got arctic ice as our environment.
We thought we would relocate penguins to the arctic to mine,
But they ran into a volcanic mountain instead.
They're gonna be kind of mining to get the lava out
In order to have a nice warm beach vacation.
So we're hoping that when the volcano begins to erupt,
The lava will fall down a series of troughs,
And a little mine cart that can run down
Will tell the penguins that the magma is on its way.
I do think that could be quite fun to see.
I hope so.
Well, if we don't, we have insurance.
So, that's-- we're trying to dream big
And really impress you guys with that.
Oh, yeah, we'll we're excited to see it come together.
- Good luck. - Yeah.
What's up, jordan and chris? How are you guys doing?
Not too bad. How you doing, will?
- I'm doing good. I'm doing good. - Yeah?
So you guys have the desert just like poppy and ben, but it's very different.
Chris: Very different, very different.
Poppy and ben, what they've come up with is incredible.
Jordan: But I think the mechanism we came up with
That will raise the spirit guardian cobra
Makes me feel like we might have an edge
And we're gonna stand out as different.
Once the lava comes flowing out from this obelisk,
It will pour down here into a trough,
And that's gonna activate the rise of its avatar.
Wow! You guys, this is really cool.
Now because you do have desert,
You guys do any fighting with poppy and ben over the--
Oh, oh, a little bit. Poppy almost fought us.
Jordan: Poppy's ready to swing at any time.
Poppy was ready to scrap.
- Will: Look out. - Yeah.
I keep saying he's a wily veteran.
- He knows what he's doing. - I've seen him shadowboxing.
Chris: Yeah, ben looks small, but he'll throw the fisticuffs.
- Know your enemies. - Both: Know your enemies.
What do you think of this?
And then I'll put a tape behind it?
I love the eyes. Are those eyes?
It's supposed to be speakers.
- Oh! - It's an alien planet.
So we have above the clouds.
Melanie: We have an alien planet
Which is in the shape of a volcano.
Allyson: On top of the rockano is a ka-boom box.
Melanie: The ka-boom box goes boom!
And then the lava flows down our clouds
Into a pool of lava,
Which is kind of like their hot tub.
Now this is the biggest thing we've built.
This is the biggest thing we've built.
♪ building in the brick pit all day long ♪
♪ rocking and a moc'ing and a-singing our song ♪
- ♪ all the other... - I am allyson.
Melanie: And I am melanie.
So how did we meet? We met--
We met in the alto section of college choir.
Music is like medicine for your soul,
But lego can also be medicine for your soul.
♪ we are the musicians
♪ and we're gonna rock and roll tonight ♪
So this week we have an active volcano on set,
And if there's anything I've learned from the movies,
It's that if you wanna stop a volcano from erupting
You gotta sacrifice some things.
- Oh, boy. - Oh, my gosh.
Like for instance, this is something
That's been not making me look great--
Amy's heels.
- Amy? No, not amy's heels! - It makes her taller than me,
And my ego is way, way too fragile.
- Do it. - Melanie: No!
Don't do it!
Oh, ho, ho, ho!
- It's working. - Oh.
That was my favorite pair.
- Oh, yeah. Hey, uh, tim? - Yeah, will?
- You got any extra overalls? - Yeah, here you go.
Okay. No, no, no, no! Actually, you know what?
- No, no, no. We're good. - Oh, my god.
No, we're good. We're good.
Let's see. What have else we got here?
I found something here. Look at this.
- It's a ukulele. - Melanie: No!
- ( all screaming ) - oh, my gosh!
- Oh, my-- - maybe I should sacrifice this.
I guess this doesn't really belong to anybody. I guess I can just--
- No! - Go, mel! Go!
- Go, go! - That's mine! Aah!
- Oh, is this yours? - Yeah! Yeah.
- Oh, sorry about that. - Thank you.
You're welcome.
Let's see what I'll sacrifice next after the break.
Brickmasters, how is this challenge going so far?
I am loving seeing these volcanic islands coming to life.
Poppy and ben have a really nice aesthetic
Where they've got that front that's just like an egyptian temple.
And now we just wanna see finishing details.
It's actually the biggest problem that we've had from them,
But the starting point is looking quite strong.
I also love seeing a different side of poppy,
Where their love for automobiles is influencing their model
With how the lava's gonna increase in speed
And really create a fast eruption.
( muttering ) this is... Right there.
It goes here and then widens out.
Is there anybody who is struggling maybe a little bit?
Neena and sam, they actually have one of the larger volcanoes in the room,
And right now I have to say this volcano is actually looking quite empty.
Amy: It's just a big solid gray mass.
So they really need to spend some time
Bringing the color, the details, and the story into that.
What kind of precarious penguin-age are we gonna be up to here?
Neena: Okay, remember, we've got 2:45 here.
- But also remember-- golden brick. - Hmm?
I don't wanna have to use it, but if we need to, we can.
Amy: Jordan and chris are spending a really long time
On getting this mechanism to work.
It's really ambitious, and they're not putting
Any more bricks on top of it to build a volcano.
We actually need to see a volcano,
So I'm very curious to see how they're gonna actually
Tie that together with that giant obelisk.
Is the lava gonna go down here and push this or something?
Yeah, hopefully it's gonna spin this and crank up...
- I am so excited to see it. - Appreciate it.
Not everybody is doing a big, scary volcanic eruption.
You know, that volcano down there
Is intimidating and scary,
But four seasons in, I gotta say,
Nothing scares our teams more than this.
- One hour left! - Whoa!
Will: You have one hour left!
Okay, go, go, go, go, go. Go!
You know what this made me think?
- Still got it. - Both: Yeah.
- Wow. - Still got it.
It's gonna shoot up here and fall back down,
And hopefully it'll spill out up there.
- Sam: Okay, final test. - Neena: Okay.
Sam: It should be good.
The golden brick is a great piece of insurance.
We will use it if we need to,
But we've tested out the mine cart.
- That's gonna work. - That's definitely gonna work.
And then it'll fly down and spin the wheel.
So we're going in feeling confident, feeling good.
Okay, good, good, good.
Okay, we need to hurry and do these.
Shh, don't say that. But, yeah, it does beat ours.
Will: You got five minutes!
It's getting hung up.
I'm not sure how to, in a hurry--
And then I gotta figure out how I'm gonna do the snake.
You can wheel your volcanoes back to our ring of fire
Before the clock strikes zero.
All right, you ready?
Fine. Fine.
Will: We got some builds on the move.
Oh, that's-- I don't like that.
Jordan: Need a hand on that? I think it should be--
I don't. Everything is stable.
- Jordan: Okay. - Will: Everybody keep breathing.
Breathe. Remember to breathe.
That's more for me.
Out of the way! Out of the way!
Judges: Five, four, three, two, one.
Time's up. Bricks down!
Whoo!
- Let's take a look at the ring of fire. - Ooh.
( wildlife screeching )
( music playing )
( cheers and applause )
Builders, this week you built
- Ten spectacular volcanic islands. - Mm-hmm.
But before we set things off,
Neena and sam, you're holding onto the golden brick,
Which means that you have a very big decision to make.
Would you like to turn in the golden brick to protect yourself from elimination today?
Now before you answer, just a reminder,
If you don't activate the golden brick
And end up in the bottom two, you lose it.
- What do you think, sam? - I don't think we're gonna be turning in
- The golden brick today. - Oh!
- Okay. - And that means no one is safe
From elimination today.
- So I hope you made the right choice. - Me, too.
- Luis and alex, you're up. - All right.
Which environment did you choose?
We chose oceans and seas.
The name of our build is the temple of the sea god.
So, centuries ago, an ancient civilization built an underwater temple
To their sea god inside of a volcano.
Present day, divers found this temple
- And are trying to get in. - Luis: The lava's gonna trigger
The opening of the sculpture of the god,
And his eyes are gonna open, lights glowing behind that.
Let's see how your story unfolds
As your volcano erupts.
All: Blow it up, blow it up.
Blow it up, blow it up!
Blow it up!
- Oh! Oh! - Okay!
Here comes that sweet lava.
Oh, the eyes!
- Nice job, buddy. - We killed it.
Wow! That was super impressive, seeing that lava come down,
Flow out that mouth, and also those eyes opening up
And kind of almost flickering. Oh, that was great.
You've also really embraced your environment,
Creating things like these tall columns of kelp.
It's a nice little detail that makes us feel
The lightness of being underwater.
- Great job, you two. - Both: Thank you.
- Tim and tim, you're up. - Yay, tim!
Tim: Our environment is oceans and seas.
Tim: We're kind of led to the story of a coastal city
That after lots of rainfall and oceans rising
Was sunk to the bottom of the ocean.
All right, let's blow this thing.
- Yeah! - Ooh!
- Good start. - Oh!
( cheering )
- Hey! - Yeah!
- Whoo! - The fish moved! Whew!
I think it was really nice to see your playfulness
Come through in this build.
Also love that you used the lava to trigger
The fish swimming round there
To really bring some energy and life
And make it feel like they are swimming around underwater.
- Thank you. - Thank you.
- Poppy and ben, you're up. - Yeah!
Ben: In the vastness of the desert sands
Thrives the city of the scorpion worshippers.
This opulent city lies in the shadow of a great volcano.
The worshippers credit their good fortune to a mystical scorpion god.
But our scorpion worshippers have delved a little too greedily
And awoke this legendary scorpion god.
Now they must endure its wrath.
( wailing )
So we hope the lava overflows out of that caldera
And runs down the central avenue of our city
Where our tyrannical patrician is having a parade,
And wipes away all of that wealth into the ocean.
I think we've built a beautiful build.
But will the lava have enough force to knock over our monarchs?
Ben: It's ambitious, but hopefully we can wow amy and jamie.
We've got volcanoes, we've got lava.
"lego masters" is back with a bang!
- Oh, come on. - Come on, come on.
- ( muttering ) - go, go, go, go!
- Yeah. - Ooh.
- Come on, come on, come on. - Yeah!
- Go, go, go, go, go! - Ooh, yeah. Nice.
Go! Yeah, yeah, yeah!
- Go on. - Okay, keep going. Get the king.
- Come on, knock the-- - yeah, yeah!
- We killed it! - And we killed the monarch!
This is the model we've been hoping to see from you.
It is big, it is exciting,
A lot of playfulness and imagination.
- Really well done. - Looks like all those years
Of working together and tinkering with the car kind of paid off.
- I think so. - Well done, you two.
- Great job. - Thank you.
- Jordan and chris, you're up. - Let's go!
Jordan: We got the desert environment,
And so we're calling this the ancient awakening.
A team of archeologists started to uncover some of the relics
- That are on the island. - Help me!
But they've angered the long dormant spirit of the pharaohs.
And so the lava will erupt out of the obelisk
And turn a hidden waterwheel that will raise the serpent up
And bring forth the ancient guardian.
Let's blow it!
- Whoo! - Yeah, come on.
Come on, come on, lava.
- Come on, lava. - Here she comes.
Oh, yeah, come on, lava. Turn that wheel.
Not fully moving the wheel,
- But... - Jordan: No.
( groans )
I mean, you guys have to be disappointed, right?
- Yeah, definitely. - Quite, quite.
You really did sell us on this snake popping up,
And it really was gonna give you this wow moment had it worked.
This stand out in the room,
Potentially for not the right reasons.
We're asking for volcanoes, and I'm struggling to find
- Even a hint of that volcano. - Nice try, you two.
- Thank you. - Thank you, thank you.
Jordan: I'm definitely disappointed.
Chris: But our ambitions got the better of us.
So there is absolutely a real chance that we could be going home.
Allyson and melanie, you're up.
- Yeah! - Which environment did you choose?
- Up in the clouds. - Above the clouds.
Melanie: Our volcanic island is actually a planet.
We have blue aliens.
- Every year, they have an annual lava dance... - Righteous!
...Where they do the lava dance
So then the giant ka-boom box can blow up.
And they're partying all night, swimming.
Here we go. Let's blow it!
Yeah! All right!
- Allyson: Wait, is it coming? - Melanie: Oh!
- It's coming. - Allyson: It's working?
Will: There it is. There it is.
- Oh! Oh! - Yay!
Amy: My favorite part is the way
That you really leaned into the theme.
You have created a whole world here
That feels like it belongs above the cloud.
Both: Thank you.
- Emilee and kelly, you're up. - All right. Good luck.
Emilee: Our environment is above the clouds.
Kelly: On this island, you can see kind of
The rainmaker's operations.
Emilee: And then they're learning to control the volcano
To help make the rain fall.
Yeah!
- Yeah, yeah! - Here comes that sweet lava!
Let's go! Go!
- It's doing it! - Yay!
Yes!
Jamie: This is super playful.
Having these nice rounded edges helps us know it's clouds,
Because you do have one of those environments
That is potentially a bit harder to understand.
- So really strong execution. - Thank you.
- Aubree and ryan, you're up. - Yeah!
Ryan: The legend of our volcanic island
Is that there is a temple that was built around a volcano
And there is rumor that there's gold hidden within the walls.
So there are treasure hunters trying to find it.
Okay, come on.
Yes!
Aubree and ryan, what a gorgeous model.
It is so rich in details.
I love that you have these broken planks in the front here
That shows that there's real peril and danger,
And you've got a fantastic story.
Thank you, guys.
Christopher and robert, you're up.
Christopher and robert,
Tell us the story of your volcanic island.
( vocalizing )
Christopher: In the time before time,
The great fire spirit descended from the heavens
Bringing these peaceful islanders to this paradise.
And when invaders come, lava will spew forth
From the open mouth of their grand statue
And flow inwards, reawakening ancient statues
Who spring to life to defend the island.
For this is the bastion of the jungle.
Whoo!
This has probably been the one challenge
Where I really cannot tell how we're gonna do
Because I think so many of the builds could be in the top two.
Let's blow this jungle up.
( shouting )
Will: Oh, yeah.
Come on, lava, come on.
Christopher: Do you see any even coming out of the...
- Yep. - I don't know.
I don't see anything.
Here it comes...
( evil laughter )
Let's blow this jungle up.
Oh, yeah.
Come on, lava, come on.
Christopher: Do you see any even coming out of the...
I don't know.
I don't see anything.
Jamie: Here it comes. You can see it. Oh!
Christopher: Okay, the statue, it's starting to turn. Yup.
That's what I'm talking about.
Standing at the ready.
- Will: Yeah! - Yes!
Whoo!
This is your best build yet.
This is a beautiful model
That's clear to decode,
Has great details, it has size,
And it really shows a polishing touch.
- Thank you. - Great job, you two.
Neena and sam, you're up.
Which environment did you choose?
We chose the arctic ice environment.
Penguins who are mining this volcano
Just get so cold that they wanna warm somehow.
So they use that lava to create a nice little beach scene.
The lava will come down the side of the mountain
Triggering the mine cart to roll down the track.
The lava should come down the yellow trough
And spin the palm frond wheel
To get all of the beaching penguins
- A nice little cool breeze. - Lava!
Here we go!
Ah!
Let's go, lava!
Come on.
- Oh! - Whoa!
Aw, that's too bad.
When the volcano erupts, our rail car picks up the vibration
And whips off the build,
And that wasn't supposed to happen.
Amy: It's dripping down though.
There's a crack I think in the top of the connection.
Jamie: Can see where it's all flowing out.
Oh, it's coming out the bottom.
Both: Aw.
The lava is finding every little crack
In our trough,
And it's just dripping through that.
I think you'll have to agree that was quite disappointing to see,
Especially a team that's been so strong up until this point
- In the competition. - Yeah.
I would've loved that you'd really amped up the arctic environment.
Lots of snow, using your colors, using sparkles.
This one just lacks character.
If you do end up in the bottom two,
You will lose automatically the golden brick, you know that?
- Yeah. - Yeah.
We had such high aspirations,
And to fail so spectacularly,
It's really disappointing.
We really should've used the golden brick.
- Paul and nealita, you're up. - Get it!
Paul: We chose arctic ice as our environment,
So this is the legend of arctic island.
A long time ago, there was a dragon who lived alone
On arctic island.
One day a group of sailors decided to visit the island,
And the dragon vowed to protect them.
Nealita: And we're hoping that the lava
Will trigger the lava wheel to spin
And also our little sailor up there,
She should be able to, you know, have some fun on the zip line.
Let's blow this sucker.
( roars )
- Whoo! - Oh, my god.
- All right, here we go. - Will: Oh, yeah! Here comes that sweet lava.
- Oh! - Nealita: Let's go!
Will: And the wheel's turning.
- Let's go! - Yeah!
That was really exciting to see.
Well done on controlling that lava flow.
Everything is white.
Wherever that lava goes, we were gonna see it,
And it played right to everything you were saying
As far as having that water wheel spinning.
This arctic environment, I think it works really well.
Thank you. Thank you.
Will: Great job, you two.
Okay, now that the worst is over...
( thunder )
- The brickmasters are gonna... - Oh, my god.
Oh, my gosh!
Will: Actually the worst is not over.
She's about to blow. Run, run, run, run!
Oh, no, no, no, no!
False alarm.
Oh, wow!
Wow.
- Okay, okay, okay. - Gross.
That was so worth the wait.
This week you blew our minds
By building epic volcanoes and the worlds around them.
It was a blast watching them all erupt,
But in the end, two teams shot to the top
Of the brickmasters ranks.
Brickmasters, who are the top two teams?
The first team I'd like to call forward is...
Poppy and ben.
The second team is...
Christopher and robert.
Good job.
Poppy and ben,
This was your best build yet.
Your legendary story was clear,
And you really had an amazing control of that lava flow
To bring your model to life.
Christopher and robert,
This was your best build yet.
You had a great story that we could see in the bricks
Without you having to use any words.
Not bad for a villain.
All right, let's cut right to it. Who won the challenge?
Amy: The winner is...
Poppy and ben.
Good job, guys.
- It's so exciting to win our first challenge. - That's awesome.
I'm so proud of this guy, and I'm really proud of our build.
Brickmaster jamie,
Please give me the names of the bottom two teams.
The first team is...
Jordan and chris.
And the second team is...
Neena and sam.
No, no, no.
Neena and sam, last week you won the coveted
Immunity providing golden brick.
The brickmasters placed you in the bottom two which,
According to the rules, means
You have to turn in the golden brick.
It's right here.
This never happened before.
No.
Thank you.
The golden brick was in our hands for about a moment,
And just slipped away.
That golden brick is gone,
And we're hoping we're not gone, too.
Yeah.
Amy: Neena and sam,
We wanted to see fun playful details,
And we really wanted to see that arctic environment shine,
But we didn't get either.
And there were fundamental flaws in your build
That meant that the lava just didn't achieve
What you were hoping it to.
Yeah, jordan and chris,
We were missing your volcano,
And your lava flow didn't create that magical reveal moment
Which was a real miss.
Brickmaster jamie, sadly we do have to send
One team back to the mainland.
Who's it gonna be?
The team going home today is...
Jordan and chris.
Jordan and chris,
What's going through your minds right now?
Honestly, it's been a joy just to be here.
Chris and I have been best friends long distance,
And we've spent more time together on this show
Than we had in the last 12 years,
So just having this experience with my friend, it's been amazing.
It's honestly been a blessing being here,
Being able to show what we could do,
But made a lot of amazing friends here
That I hope to remain in contact with for long after this.
- Thank you. - Thank you both. Thank you, will.
Unfortunately, your "lego masters" journey ends here.
Please turn in your minifigs and say goodbye.
I am disappointed, but I'm not upset.
Despite this being a competition,
It's going to be very difficult to leave everyone behind.
I've made lifelong friends here.
Jordan: Friendships come first.
That's always been a hallmark of the lego community.
Somehow that love of little plastic bricks
Just comes in clutch.
Love you guys.
Jordan: How often do you get a chance to do something like this
With one of your best buddies?
So I'm just really glad that we could do it together.
Appreciate that, bro.
Will: Next week...
Behind me you'll see nine sound effect buttons.
It's up to you decide what your sound looks like.
( squeaking, boing )
You know what? This is gonna be a lot of fun.
- Yeah, I like it. - This is gonna be really interesting.
They're gonna be doing a sphere, too.
Should we do a sphere or no?
I think we should do whatever the heck we wanna do.
Tim: I'm pretty unhappy and frustrated.
The biggest concern right now is whether
We can actually get something that even looks finished.
( choir vocalizing )
No matter what, we want that golden brick back.
Will: This challenge just got turned up to 11.
