Will: Last week our builders went volcanic.
( cheering )
You're gonna build the volcano.
We're gonna set them off for the most epic eruptions you've ever seen.
Let's blow this thing.
Grandpa and grandson poppy and ben
Erupted for their first win of the season.
This is the model we've been hoping to see from you.
Sam and neena never got into the flow,
Landing in the bottom two,
And in a "lego masters" first,
Relinquishing the golden brick.
This has never happened before.
Ultimately, it was jordan and chris' volcano
That lacked fire.
Tonight hearing is believing
As we give our teams an earful of a challenge.
You'll see nine sound effect buttons.
It's up to you to decide what your sound looks like.
- ( squeaking, boinging ) - you know what?
This is gonna be a lot of fun.
Pump up the volume.
"lego masters" starts now.
( music playing on stereo )
- ( door opening ) - ( footsteps scuffing )
( honks )
( hissing )
( clipping loudly )
- ( snoring ) - ( echoing noises )
( muted chatter )
- ( gum stretching ) - ( alarm blares )
- Will to set! - Hey.
- ( popping ) - ah.
- Hey, guys. - Hey.
- Hey, will. - ( popping continues )
- Oh! - Oh, my gosh!
Oh, whoa!
- Christopher: I know nothing about music. - Oh, my goodness!
- ( popping continues ) - amy: This is too much fun.
Okay, hey, guys, look-- all right, people,
This is getting ridiculous.
Can we just hold the noise?
( silence )
Now it's too quiet.
All right, how 'bout this?
Let's not hold the noise.
- Oh, my gosh. - Let's build the noise.
- Yeah! - Ooh.
Yeah, it's season four. We don't wanna be four-mulaic,
So we're going to unlock your imagination in a brand new way.
- Oh, my gosh. - What?
Behind me, you'll see a table with nine sound effect buttons,
Each one featuring a unique sound effect.
You're gonna use that sound to inspire your build.
It's up to you to decide what your sound looks like.
- Ooh. - I like that.
You know, kind of like this.
( xylophone plays )
- Okay. - All right, emily,
What do you see when you hear that?
- A roadrunner! - A roadrunner!
- Meep, meep! - Wrong.
It's obviously a mouse in a tuxedo running across a grand piano.
- Obviously. Obviously. - Obviously.
You know what? This is gonna be a lot of fun.
This is gonna be really interesting. Okay, brickmasters.
It's definitely our most creative challenge yet
Because we're asking you to take sound, something abstract,
And turn into brick form.
So have fun with it and don't be too literal.
We are looking for big builds and even bigger imagination.
We're asking you to use power functions
With at least one movement.
So your model can be really anything,
But it needs to be one unified idea
That helps show us what created that sound.
- Oh, that sounds exciting. - Yes.
Oh, my.
This is probably my favorite challenge
Just because we can really show our creativity
And really bring in more imagination into our builds.
So I feel like we're really gonna nail this one.
All right, on my call, run in there and grab a button.
We are giving you ten hours to build da noise and build da funk.
- Ay! - Are you ready?
- Yeah. - Yes.
Get your brick on.
- ( all cheering ) - sorry, poppy.
Do not pop jamie. Do not pop jamie.
( overlapping chatter )
- Zap, zap, zap. Zap. - Okay.
( chatter continues )
- All right. - Wow.
Snarl, snarl, snarl.
- Should I hit the button? - ( echoing roar )
That does not sound like a hot rod.
That sounds like something coming out of a cave or something.
Something coming out of a cave.
( squeaking )
It gotta be a mouse. It's no way--
It has to be a mouse.
You wanna press it?
- ( powering up ) - ( laughs )
- Alien spaceship. - Like a spaceship taking off.
- It's like a spinning sound. - Yeah, it's like a spinning sound.
I'm gonna get some paper.
( electricity sparking )
- Both: Okay. - Yeah, okay. Here's the idea.
- Okay. - So...
( squeaking, boinging )
Sam: I'm very excited to have grabbed "boing."
We can be pretty ambitious with this one.
( imitating squeaking, boinging )
- Cuckoo. - I'm making sure that part of
This clock face is broken.
We're building a tall, massive grandfather clock.
Our build has two power functions,
The cuckoo bird that is running around in a circle
And the swinging pendulum.
We're gonna make a swinging pendulum? Okay.
Last challenge for us was a gamble in the way that we played the golden brick,
- Or rather didn't play the golden brick. - Thank you.
This has never happened before.
It sucks that we got into the bottom two,
But nowhere to go but up hopefully.
I kind of think no greens.
- ( airy crescendo, tinkling ) - ooh.
Our sound is twinkle. We both feel pretty quickly
That it's the sound of something being revealed or being opened.
- ( imitating choir ) - opening up, yeah.
- Oh, the front of the box falls open? - Falls open.
We have decided to do a treasure chest.
Tim: The movement will be the front panel of the chest
Slowly opening.
The treasure inside is slowly revealed.
The treasure is gonna be the golden brick.
We have the same idea.
- More brown! - More brown!
We have a beautiful tree here, classroom over there,
And then-- I like that. Okay, good.
- What's up, guys? - Hey, will. How are you?
I'm really good. How are you?
- We're doing great, thank you. - Yeah?
What do we got going on here today?
You wanna check out our sound?
Are you ready for me to hit it?
( monkeys screeching and howling )
Tell me what this sound is.
So as teachers, we're used to dealing with monkeys in the classroom.
Nice. I like it. Yeah, keep going.
- We're gonna have some-- - it's an homage to our class monkeys.
Some students monkeying around.
Luis: For this build we're making a classroom full of monkeys
And they're throwing paper airplanes.
Alex: Our power function is a monkey student hanging
From the tree limb that's gonna be overhanging the classroom.
- They ever thrown a paper airplane in your class? - Not-- yeah.
No one would dare to do that in my class.
Did you guys go to the same school that you now teach at?
- Yeah, that's right. - We did. Both of us.
- Will: Right. - We're both alumni there.
That's good though. That's like when the fbi
Hires a hacker to prevent hackers, right?
Exactly, we know all the tricks.
I gotta be honest,
I was guilty of a lot of monkey business.
Not a surprise. Not a surprise.
- It's not surprising, right? - No, not at all.
Guess what? Paid off.
- It did. - Seems like it.
Big time.
It wasn't me!
I brought this in just for you specifically
Because people are really talking about you after you won last week.
- Ah. - What can I say?
So now you got this and you can hear what they're saying.
- Oh, oh, oh. - Put these on.
Yeah, yeah.
And then what you do is, there's a trigger there.
- You point. - Everybody loves poppy.
- Luis, I heard that. - Busted.
By the way, it's got record on there, too.
You can record conversations. That's really good.
- Maybe blackmail. - Hang on a second, man.
Poppy, what are you doing?
You were supposed to be the sweet grandpa.
We've already got one villain on this show.
We don't need another one, I mean...
All right, now I wanna hear your sound.
- You ready? - Sure.
( echoing roar )
My mom.
No, I'm just thinking, for some reason I just thought I need to call my mom.
Huh. What did this make you guys think of?
Ben: The sound effect we got is "roar."
Although if I had to rewrite the name on our box,
It would be closer to... ( warbling roar )
It's a good imitation, ben.
Our sound sounds very organic, sounds very large,
So we're approaching it from kind of a monster angle.
We're going to have a battle between two monsters.
The movement we're planning is to have a squadron of jets
Flying high above the chaos.
Poppy: But then we're gonna have a godzilla-like monster
Come out of the water and save the day.
We're going to build this chemical plant.
That's pretty good.
Hope it's enough to keep up our record.
- All right, good luck. - Okay. Thanks, will.
- All right. - So how does it work with plates?
If you have two plates to one...
Well, well.
Found this crate backstage,
And there are all sorts of fun sounds in here.
Oh, yeah. Oh, look at this.
- Hey. - That's cool, right?
That's awesome.
Oh, look at this. This is a--
- ( tweets ) - oh.
Love that.
Oh!
Wonder what this sounds like.
Huh.
- Oh, my gosh. - Oh, oh, oh, oh.
- Whoa. - ( choir vocalizing, stops )
- Ooh! - Is that what I think it is?
( choir vocalizing, stops )
You oughta make a beat out of it.
- ( choir vocalizing, stops ) - ( dance music playing )
- ( starting and stopping ) - ( music continues )
( bass thumping )
( choir vocalizing )
I can't believe it's ba--
Stop the clock! Stop the clock!
- The golden brick is back! - ( all cheering )
- Whoo! - Neena and sam, I know you want a second crack at this.
No matter what, we want that golden brick back.
So this challenge just got turned up to 11.
- Oy. - Give it everything you got.
We're super excited the golden brick is back in play.
We'll take a little bit better care of it than sam and neena did.
Beep, beep! Everybody, watch out.
And then-- sort of like--
This should be pretty solid at this point.
Yeah, okay. Just go-- go big.
So, brickmasters,
For the first time, we're asking our builders
To use their sense of hearing to inspire their builds.
We want our teams to take the sounds they've got
And interpret them into creative and fantastic builds.
We also want them to add movement into it using power functions.
- Oh! - We also want our teams to give us big builds
And be really, really creative with their ideas, not too literal.
I do have to say, this is the first time
That we've reintroduced the golden brick so soon
After it's come out of the last challenge.
It's very exciting, and you can feel the energy in the room,
How many people want it.
So they've got a lot of work to do,
- But it's really fun work. - Yes.
It's gonna be interesting to hear what they come up with.
Ah, yes.
Okay, here we go.
- ( squeaking ) - gosh!
Every time. Why am I like this?
Emilee: When we get "ba-donk,"
We think it's going to be more of a cartoonish sound, like "ba-donk."
But I then I instantly go to "badonkadonk."
But I can't build a butt on tv.
( distorted warbling )
But, like, in reality, it sounds like
A transformer, machinery.
And so we're making robots.
Emilee: So we are making a fully built robot
That has been lonely for far too long
And he is building himself a companion robot, a friend.
The heart rotates to represent life and love.
Emilee: I'm gonna work on the mechanism now.
- Kelly: Yes. - And then you do the head, and I'll follow your head.
- Okay. - Well, my head will be bigger.
My guy's just gonna be bigger. I want him to be big.
Yeah, yeah. I think that's great.
- And this is a simple way to go big. - Yeah.
- We can win this if we figure it out. - I hope so.
So we end up getting "snarl."
( snarling, growling )
The obvious choice would be an animal.
Like, rawr, rawr. But we can't go obvious.
Melanie: So for this challenge we are making a monster meal,
And there are gonna be two monsters eating at a picnic.
The older brother monster falls asleep
And little sister is gonna be tickling his nose
And getting him all frustrated.
It's like a puzzle. You just gotta find everything.
Mm-hmm.
So the sound effect that we have is "squeak."
( squeaking )
It definitely wasn't the squeak we were expecting.
It is more like a baby stepping on a squishy toy.
So for our build, what we're actually doing
Is making a crib with the baby stepping on an actual mouse
And the mouse is trying to take the baby's cheese.
So I have two kids.
This idea is somewhat actually inspired from son crue.
We actually plan to spell his letters out on the model.
Hey, nephew.
- This look okay to you? It looks fine. - Yeah.
I won't make the things to put on yet
Because I assume you're gonna wanna make
The cow's uniform and everything.
This is probably the most ambitious build we've done for the competition so far.
I think if we can pull it off, our entire plan,
We might have a chance to win the golden brick.
Oh, my. What's going on over here?
( electricity sparking )
( thunder )
Welcome to "alien conquest 2: Electric boogaloo."
Thank you. Would you like to invest?
What did you hear when you heard your sound?
Well, we heard this-- an alien ship sucking up cows.
An alien ship sucking up cows.
Absolutely.
So this build, an alien spaceship flies down,
Shoots a laser into the ground, and begins sucking farmers up.
But of course, while some farmers run way, some are fighting back.
All right, guys, well, it looks like you're well on your way.
I'm just gonna leave this right here.
Whatever you do, do not hit that button.
Why don't you press it?
You hit that so quickly.
You weren't supposed to--
God, I'd be a terrible villain.
That was supposed to be so much better than that.
That works. I like it a lot.
Alex: Not only is this build paying tribute to our school,
The golden brick is back on the line.
- We felt like we were... - Robbed.
...Robbed last time the golden brick was on the line.
So we're really hoping that this might be enough to put us over the top.
- You having fun yet, partner? - Yep.
Okay. That actually works.
- Is it working out like you thought? - Um...
- I love the colors. - Hi, tim.
- It looks good. - Our sound is "brrr-brr-brr."
( powering up )
The first initial start of our sound
Is kind of like it's gearing up.
Ryan: So, for this challenge,
We are building an alien spaceship
That has crash landed on a foreign planet,
And now they found this green planet fuel to juice up their ship
So they can get off of this place.
But it's turned into a complete mess,
And they are not able to get off the planet.
Is it gonna be this wide?
- What do you mean? - The ship.
Oh, that is not that much wider than the actual base of my ufo.
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.
Last week we had the same exact environment as christopher and robert.
- He likes to peek behind our shoulders. - ( clears throat )
Hey, buddy. Just looking around.
Here we are, round two, and they are building
A space theme like we're gonna go with.
We don't have change ours just 'cause they're doing it.
- They're our new rivals. - Yeah.
Yes.
Little worried about weight.
Well, I'd probably put it on,
And then let's try and test it as we go.
I think I'm gonna have to do a smaller spaceship, babe.
- Too heavy? - Yeah, it's gonna be too heavy.
The movement is just not working.
It's getting the best of me.
All this freaking time it took though...
I'm really struggling because I am not able to figure this out.
( groans )
Just wasted a bunch of time.
So for this week, we are experiencing sound in so many wonderful ways,
And we are asking our builders to translate that sound into a lego model.
- They need to add some movement to it-- - gosh, I'm so sorry.
- Both: Oh. - ( music on headphones )
Did you say something?
All this noise has been driving me crazy,
So I just had these. Sorry about that. What's up?
- Yeah. - We were just talking about
How awesome the builds are in this challenge.
I mean, they're taking something really abstract like sound,
And then they're making fantastical builds from them.
Who are the teams you think are really doing well
In this particular challenge?
Luis and alex are taking what they know of the classroom,
But they're twisting it with all these monkeys causing mayhem.
But the fantastic part is that tree exploding out,
The way all the monkeys are going crazy.
It's an opportunity for them to have that real wow moment
That celebrates their sound.
Paul and nealita, some of their building techniques and styling
Is actually looking really nice.
Yeah, it's quite brave going with a human form,
Making a baby.
It's hard to make humans.
I think if they're clever, they're gonna abstract the baby.
They're gonna make the baby more of a character,
And really play it up as something adorable and cute.
Aubree and ryan gave us a great build in the last challenge.
So I'm hoping that they're gonna push themselves even more here.
They've gone right in with the color,
They're upping their scale,
But they need to focus on the spaceship, the aliens, the storytelling.
- The golden brick in play. - Yes.
- Yeah. - I mean, this is huge.
Sam and neena, they ran the risk of being eliminated.
- That was a big gamble. - Big.
But now you can see they're back.
And they're building big.
They're definitely one of the more ambitious teams
In this challenge.
Is that tall enough for the pendulum?
- That's good. - It's good.
They really want that golden brick back.
- They could get it back. - They could.
Which would be unprecedented in "lego masters" history.
I know, I know.
It's gonna come down to the wire,
And it's gonna be really interesting to see how it all plays out.
Um...
Until then, I'm just gonna pop these guys back in.
- ( dance music playing ) - ahh.
Aww, man. This is so much better.
( sighs )
- Is that a knife? - Hey. ( laughs )
Never, never. We're frenemies, remember?
- Sure, sure. - Perfect.
- Oh! - ( muttering )
- Aubree and ryan, hello. - Hi, guys.
How are you doing? Already see a lot of a build going up.
Okay, so we did just have to pivot the spaceship a bit
Because it was going to be a little too heavy
For the motors to lift up that much weight.
So we're pivoting, we're gonna make it smaller, lighter,
That way the power functions have the strength to move it up and down.
I'm really glad that you started testing that early
Because it is something you can be surprised by
- At just the wrong moments. - Yeah.
It's such an important part of this challenge,
So keep an eye that you've got the motion
And that you're differentiating your spaceship
From others in the room.
We have noticed that there's another spaceship in the room.
Holy mother of god. That is big.
It is big. Good job, good job.
- Hopefully the scenes will be completely different. - Yeah.
That spaceship is the hero.
This hero right in the center needs to be the star,
And we saw how polished a model you can make in the last build.
So really make sure that we see that again.
Ryan: Christopher and robert are doing a ufo levitating a cow up.
At the end of the day, it's a traditional story.
I think it may be a little obvious for a ufo,
So hopefully our story will be a little bit more creative and out of the box.
- Thank you, guys, so much. - Good luck.
Thank you, guys.
Okay, this kicking my butt,
And I don't want to waste more time on it.
- How heavy is that? - Eh...
Not as much the weight as the balance.
- Yeah. - Trying to grab it from here, have it all come up.
- Oh. - And just...
I'm pretty unhappy and frustrated.
I'm starting to realize the door is gonna be pretty heavy,
And I'm having trouble making it work.
And now we gotta pivot.
Idea. This is a stage, and the act spins around.
- Tim: Oh, yeah. - That's the reveal of who the act is maybe.
We've got a lot of this built.
If we continue to use this chest framework,
Then we can adapt it to a stage.
- I like that. - Yeah.
- Hi. - Hey.
- Tim and tim, hello. - How are you?
Can I give this buzzer a push and hear what your sound it?
- Go ahead and hit "twinkle" there. - It's a lovely sound.
- ( airy crescendo, tinkling ) - oh!
Tell us how you're interpreting it
And how you're translating it into your build.
We're gonna try to build will.
So we're gonna have a center stage, and he'll have his back to you.
And then when the sound goes, why, he'll pivot around,
- And that'll reveal the brick. - So this is a stage? Or--
- Stage is where we ended up. - You pivoted on your story,
But you're still holding onto some parts.
You have to commit one way or the other to keep it clean.
- Yeah. - Right now I am a little bit torn on seeing this set
Or will's world in what you're doing.
- So you do have a lot of work to bring us in there. - Sure.
We've seen you build fast in the past and get all those things in.
- You're gonna have to build faster than ever now. - Yeah.
Get a plan and get building.
- All right, thank you. - Thank you.
After the brickmasters leave, I think we're a little discouraged.
To say the least.
Tim: At this point, we're pretty close to halfway through the challenge,
And we're feeling a little stuck.
We know we need this stuff.
Let's just go ahead and think about story
And if we want to adjust who the character is,
What's being revealed. Sound good?
- Yep, I mean, that'd be the best use of our time. - Yeah.
( wilhelm scream repeating )
- Oh, gosh. - What? What happened?
Do you-- do you know what that sound means?
- No. - Huh. Me neither.
But that was very--
Oh! That meant that there were five hours left.
- Oh, no. - Oh, my gosh.
Aah!
That sound means that there's five hours left for some reason.
That weird-- anyway, five hours left.
Oh, my god. Okay, come on.
- I'm starting to feel time crunch. - Whew-kay!
Guys, we really gotta talk about this stuff ahead of time.
That scared the hell out of me. That was very weird.
The body's coming along for the mouse, so--
- Ooh, I like that. That's pretty good. - Thanks.
This is gonna be big sam. What were we thinking?
Oh, my gosh.
- Oh, my-- - yay!
We try to come up with something that's totally offbeat,
No connection to anything.
I take a step back, I look around the room,
Just try to take a deep breath or two,
And I had the idea of a magic show.
So, will is now a magician-- the great willroni.
He'll be doing a magic trick
Where he's going to attempt to make a rabbit disappear.
And the motor functions on this
Are the rabbit turning in a circle
And then the assistants also rotating.
Its going to be great. He's gonna be making an attempt at his magic trick.
- As usual, we're gonna end up with an even better build. - Absolutely. Yep.
Tim and tim have been struggling a little bit in this challenge,
Had to pivot over the halfway mark
Because they just couldn't come together on their story.
- It's actually a pivot on a pivot... - Yeah.
...Because they actually-- this is their third idea.
Amy: Now they have a great story, they have a great character,
But they don't have much time to actually build it,
And I'm worried if they're gonna actually get it finished.
Jamie: That is a real risk.
- Magician, two bunnies-- complete. - Nice.
We feel really good with our concept,
But the biggest concern right now is the clock
And whether we can actually get something that even looks finished.
Oh, no.
- You know what's fascinating about sound? - Hmm?
As sound waves enter the ear canal towards the eardrum,
They cause vibrations that make these little bones in the middle ear vibrate,
And then tiny hair cells capture the vibrations
- And transform them into electrical signals. - Huh.
- Kinda like this. - ( alarm blaring )
- One hour left! - Aah!
- Will: You have one hour left! - Oh, my god.
- Oh, my gosh. - Come on, we gotta move. We gotta move.
Oh. Oh, my gosh, we have to hurry.
- Oh, no, no, no, no, no. - Try not to knock anything over.
Pears, pears, pears.
It worked!
I'm basically a scientist now.
- Oh, my gosh. - Just keep doing as much as you can.
- Um... - Oh, my gosh.
There was something else I needed to do.
Robert: Something just fell. I don't know what.
- What, what, what? - I don't know. I just--
I don't know if we got enough. Just risk it?
- Tim: Yeah. - How are the teams looking on time?
- You can feel the tension in the room. - Mm-hmm.
People are very much valuing every minute that they have of this challenge.
- Why does this always happen? - Do you know what's really surprising me
Is how big some of these models are getting.
I mean, look at neena and sam's. It is absolutely ginormous.
- Yeah. Mm-hmm. - They've got the bright colors.
That is a big and ambitious build.
Yeah, neena and sam clearly want that golden brick.
They even have some gears all along the inside.
They really wanna dazzle us with something super impressive.
And then aubree and ryan got some great color there.
Aubree and ryan have a gorgeous-looking environment,
But that spaceship should be the hero.
Is it polished and detailed enough?
Yeah, especially when there's another spaceship in the room that is huge.
- Yeah. - And they've got a really big sound
For a spaceship.
There is a risk
That the spaceship's a bit undersized
And may disappear on that big beautiful landscape.
- Just go like that? - Yep, yep.
Time's almost up. One minute left!
- ( sighs ) - the clock is ticking.
Hard to forget.
Spending way too much time on that.
- It's not that important. - Go, go, go, go.
Bro, no one's gonna care that that roof isn't done.
- Bro, they will. - Did you turn it on to make sure it worked?
- Yeah, it works. - Hopefully this will help us not be in the bottom two.
- Four lights? Shoot. - ( groans )
This is really intense right here.
Not sure we're gonna make it.
Here we go.
Five, four, three, two, one.
Time's up! Bricks down.
- Okay. - We did it, we did it.
- Whew. - We absolutely nailed it.
Ryan: What on earth are we gonna do?
Christopher and robert's spaceship, it's super impressive
That they made that ufo so big.
Comparing our ship with christopher and robert's?
The ship is quite small, and now it's definitely
Gonna hurt us when it comes to judging.
Well, builders, you took a sound
And you used your imagination to transform it
Into a work a visual art.
I'm excited to see what you came up with
And even more excited to find out
- Who's going to win... - ( gasping )
- Wow. - ...The golden brick.
- Oh. - Wow.
- Poppy and ben, you're up. - All right.
Tell us about your build and sound.
Three, two, one.
( echoing roar )
Extra, extra! Read all about it!
A three-headed hydra takes control
Of a local chemical plant.
The super monster,
A beast more friendly to the plight of humanity,
Has risen from the depths to challenge the hydra.
A squadron of fighter jets scrambles to escape the carnage.
Poppy: It is hoped the super monster will prevail,
Thus saving the whole city.
I forgot I was hosting "lego masters."
I was just into this story.
I mean, he even wore the wardrobe of a newsie.
- Yeah! - That was awesome.
I love that you heard the sound, you heard how powerful it was,
And you give us this epic three-headed monster.
And you've even represented the sound coming out of the hydra's mouth
With these transparent sound waves as well,
Which I think is really clever.
- Good job. - Thanks.
Thank you.
Christopher and robert, you're up.
( cheering )
The pitch starts now. Build and sound, go.
- Our sound was "zap." - let's hit it.
( electricity sparking )
( thunder )
It's aliens versus farmers
In "alien conquest 2: Electric boogaloo."
Robert: What's the best way to combat a ufo tractor beam?
Tractors, of course.
Everyone, convert your tractors
Into the best alien defense system.
Christopher: It is the ultimate battle for humanity,
And only you can save the day.
I mean, wow, I think when you look at your build
And you listen to the sound,
It almost feels like it was made for it.
You've got that tractor beam going up,
And then at the end, you've got the kind of explosive sound
- That sounds like the battle that's happening. - Wow, that's impressive.
Amy: So I think you've really listened closely,
And you've captured that in your build.
Both: Thank you.
Aubree and ryan, you're up.
- All right. - ( cheering )
So we got the sound "brrr-brr-brr."
Ryan: Ready?
( powering up )
Ryan: Welcome to our planet, brick-jupiter,
Where these space aliens were exploring the galaxy when they ran out of fuel
And they crashed here on brick-jupiter.
So what they're needing to do is find some fuel for their ship
So they can get back home.
This turns out to be a very messy situation for them,
And they're unable to actually take off this planet.
Yeah, that's quite an awesome sound to get
Because it really does build this anticipation up,
Which is also what we had watching you build this model.
We were wondering where you were gonna go.
- Ah. - I am struggling with this model though.
I feel you spent so much effort trying to build this up with your landscape
That you've missed the opportunity to focus on your spaceship.
I really would've loved to have seen the size
Of that spaceship even more pronounced
And have more of that effort, that sluggishness coming out.
Okay.
We're pretty bummed right now.
Yeah.
- It really has us worried that we might be going home. - Yeah.
- Luis and alex, you're up. - ( cheering )
All right, tell us about your build and sound.
Our sounds reads, "ah-ah."
- It's more like... - ( both imitating monkeys )
- Yeah! - Oh, my god.
( cheering )
Great. Okay.
( monkeys screeching and howling )
Alex: School can be a real jungle.
Luis: Nature takes over this classroom
Causing the students to start monkeying around.
These cheeky monkeys knock over desks,
Throw paper airplanes, and swing from the branches.
Alex: The teacher just wants them to pay attention.
Now they're all getting detention.
- It's bananas. - Wild.
Once again, you're showing us your real potential.
It has size, it has polish and details,
But you're also celebrating your creativity
And really taking your sound and trying to show it in a whole new way.
There's bag and bags of creativity in this build,
And I love seeing that side from you guys.
Allyson and melanie, you're up.
Both: One, two, three.
- ♪ ahh - ( snarling, growling )
Melanie: So our story is about two monsters, and they're at a picnic.
The older brother monster falls asleep,
And little sister is trying to tickle his nose with a feather.
This is the most adorable, horrific scene I've ever seen.
You just went all in on this, and I think that's wonderful.
You really layered that sound with some wonderful imagination.
Paul and nealita, you're up.
So the sound we had "squeak."
- ( squeaking ) - well, we're from wisconsin,
And everyone there loves cheese, including my son crue.
He loves cheese so much that sometimes he eats cheese in his crib.
However his sister, who acts like a mouse,
Wants to steal cheese from him.
He is stomping on her body
To try to get the cheese away from her
And eat cheese in peace.
You have this epic story
Where your baby's the hero protecting his cheese,
And then you have this villainous cheeky character
Trying to steal it.
And the conflict between them
As he squishes the mouse
And make this crazy squeaky sound
I think works really well.
- Great job, you two. - Great job, you guys.
( cheers and applause )
Emilee and kelly, you're up.
So the sound we got was "ba-donk."
Let's hear it.
- Sure. - One, two, three.
( distorted warbling )
Emilee: Our build is called the lonely robot.
This robot has been living a solitary life
And has been alone for far too long.
So they are building themselves a companion robot.
And with a heart full of love,
The very best thing for this robot
Is to be able to share it with someone else.
Amy: I love that you took something that was quite technical
And you found the emotion in it
And you quite literally built the heart into your story.
And I think it really is very, very fitting with the sound.
Where I think I'm struggling is that you have gone big
But it is at the expense of some of the complexity
That we would like to see at this stage.
Great job, you two. You can head back to the group.
- Well done. - Good job. Good job, guys.
Neena and sam?
How tall is this build do you think?
- Melanie-sized. - Yeah.
- Melanie, how tall are you? - She's five.
With my shoes I'm five feet, yeah.
Tell us about your build and sound.
Neena: Our sound was "boing."
( squeaking, boinging )
Sam: We made a giant grandfather clock.
It has a cuckoo bird that has fallen out of the top
That is running around in circles.
There's a team of green gear gremlins that are working hard
To try to put the clock back together again.
Neena: And trying to catch the cuckoo that has fallen out.
When I look at it, I just get mesmerized.
The way the gears move at different rates,
The way that this ticking back and forth is imperfect
Really plays into your sound because it is imperfect.
Yeah, you're clearly a team that likes to gamble, to take chances.
I mean, to even just conceptualize a model of this size
And then actually make it happen?
It is an impressive model
That you should be extremely proud of.
- Thanks. - Sam: After the volcano,
It's definitely a bit of a redemption moment for us.
Everything just-- it worked so well.
I'm really proud of this build.
I really wanna get that golden brick back.
Tim and tim, you guys are up.
- All right. - Whoo!
Tim: I'm feeling pretty concerned.
Seeing the quality of what's going on around us,
I'm hoping this is all cohesive enough.
And that that will keep us in the competition.
Tim and tim, you guys are up.
Tim: So we got "twinkle."
( airy crescendo, tinkling )
The great willroni is a struggling magician
And he is trying desperately to perfect
His disappearing rabbit trick.
Hope is not high,
As only his mother showed up for the show.
A failed magic trick yet again.
I don't wanna correct you, but it's "illusionist."
I wish you'd leaned in a little bit more
To have some sort of reveal, so that when it turned around
We saw something else than just the same bunny that you had before.
I think that could've been really fun
And celebrated the sound you have even more.
The other thing is just taking away some of this green. It is a lot of green.
It's a fun story to have the one person watching.
- It's like the most tragic show ever. - Pretty much.
- But it might also be an excuse to say... - Yeah.
"we didn't have enough time to build more audience members."
I give you a lot of credit for what you did accomplish.
- But honestly, you guys, don't pivot and pivot. - Thank you.
Tim: I'm feeling a little concerned here,
And probably could've decorated a little different
To take the treasure chest look away from it,
But kind of ran out of time to.
Today we gave you an earful with our most unique challenge yet,
And you wowed us with your imaginations
By building unbelievably exciting creations.
But only one team can earn the win
And the golden brick.
Brickmasters, please give me the names
Of the two teams who impressed you the most.
The first team is...
Neena and sam.
( cheering )
The second team is...
Luis and alex.
- ( cheering ) - good job, guys.
- We meet again. - Told you.
Neena and sam, you were in top form this week.
( squeaking, boinging )
You really nailed your sound beautifully,
And you delivered a wow
- That really stood out in the room. - Thank you.
Luis and alex, again you gave us a super polished build.
( monkeys screeching and howling )
But what we love the most was that you took a simple sound
And elevated it into something so imaginative
With the monkeys and the classroom.
All right, who won the build-it-by-ear challenge
And the golden brick?
The winner is...
Neena and sam.
( cheering )
- Wow. - Yay!
Will: Congratulations, neena and sam.
You've won yet another challenge,
And for the second time this season,
You've won this.
( choir vocalizing )
The golden brick! Come on and get it.
- ( cheering ) - here you go.
- Neena: Thank you. - Luis: Definitely got robbed the first time.
This time we still think we should've won.
Alex: But the reality is there's only one time
Where we need to really beat neena and sam, and that's in the finals.
- We know we're gonna get them at the end. - Congratulations.
Take care of the golden brick for me, okay?
- ( cheering ) - brickmaster amy,
Please give me the name of the first team in the bottom two.
The first team in the bottom two this week is...
Aubree and ryan.
And the second team in the bottom two this week is...
- Tim and tim. - Oh.
Oh, my...
Jamie: Aubree and ryan, you actually captured the sound
Of your struggling spaceship quite well.
Unfortunately you spent too much time on that landscape,
Not enough time on that ever important spaceship,
And in the end just didn't deliver those polishing touches
That we know you're capable of.
Amy: Tim and tim, again you pivoted in this challenge,
And that really did show in your model.
You struggled to transform your treasure chest into a stage.
And we were looking for a triumphant moment
At the end of the magic trick to really match that sound,
And unfortunately we just didn't get it.
All right, we have to say goodbye to one team.
This was a really, really tough one.
But the team that will be leaving us today is...
- Tim and tim. - ( all groaning )
- Oh! - I'm sorry.
I think what I've loved the most is watching how you've grown in the competition.
You've learned every week.
You've shown some amazing skills that you didn't even know you had,
And I really hope that you are very proud
- Of what you've achieved in this competition... - Yes.
- ...Because you should be. - I-- we are.
I mean, the experience of meeting all of you--
The friends, family, and all the others that have left before us--
Just being here...
I hate to say it, your "lego masters" journey ends here.
- Yes. - Please turn in your minifigs and say goodbye.
But you know what? We're the tim-inators,
- And we'll be back. - ( dramatic music playing )
- Yeah! - Yes! You will!
( sighs )
Overall, this experience has been nothing less than perfect.
- Gonna miss you, man. - I'm gonna miss you all, too.
For me personally, "lego masters" was the answer to a lifelong search
Of "where do I belong in this world?"
Aw, man.
And so that's a gift that-- priceless.
Right there.
You know, that's the power of that little brick
Beyond what you can just build.
It's an amazing thing.
- Bye, tim-inators! - Bye, guys!
Will: Next week...
"lego masters" is going cirque du soleil.
- Oh, wow! - Whoo!
Will: And we are challenging you to build high-flying,
Gravity-defying stunt performances
- Of your very own. - God, no.
Will: We are building two super teams to battle head-to-head.
They're doing the same exact thing that we're doing.
They have the dark blue walls.
Honestly, I'm super nervous right now.
Will: It is showtime.
Actually, will, we have a problem.
