Will: Last week on "lego masters"...
Who wants to make something hot?
It was our most fashionable episode yet
As teams built designer handbags.
Do not disappoint me today, builders.
Nope. There it goes.
It was almost too hot for tv.
- Ooh! - Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa!
Can we do this? This is a family show.
In the end, christopher and robert's bag
Landed them on the cover of "bric chic"...
You really gave us an it-worthy bag that made a statement.
...While allyson and melanie had to pack their bags and head home.
Allyson: This has been such a special experience.
Tonight we're slamming the pedal to the medal for a smashing good time.
- Smash! - ( all cheering )
We've teamed up with "lego 2k drive."
You'll take all the pieces from your smash
To create remote control vehicles that you will race
On our custom made course.
Our builders need to be more creative than ever
Because for the first time in "lego masters" history,
The brick pit is off-limits.
Emilee: I wish we could use the brick pit.
This is so freaking frustrating.
And I have a once in a lifetime surprise for the winning team.
I have an announcement! There's a twist.
- ( beeps ) - go!
- Christopher, stop! - ( laughing )
- Christopher! - "lego masters" starts now.
All right, here we go.
Rolling, rolling. Five, four, three, two...
- Oh. - Oh.
- Okay. - Hello.
- Race cars? - The banana car.
- Oh, my gosh. - What is this?
Walking into the build room, I see the vehicles lined up. I'm like, "hold on!
This might be something right up my alley."
I'm a drivers ed instructor,
So I just love anything to do with driving cars.
Pick that up.
No, drop that for me. Let me get that.
- Oh! Hello, gamers. - Gamers?
I mean, builders.
Willy the game goat out.
Whoo! Ahh.
Taking care of a little bit of business.
Hello, brickmasters.
- Hey! Hey there, willy. - Hey there.
It's crazy how much kids love
Watching people play video games,
Especially when they could be doing something
Way more valuable with their time
Like watching people build with lego bricks.
- Hey! - Yeah.
You know what?
Let's combine these two worlds
For the ultimate season four challenge.
Oh, my god.
( engine revving )
( tires squealing )
- Oh! - Ooh.
Will: We've teamed up with 2k games,
Publishers of some of the most played
And most epic video games of all time,
Because together with lego,
They have created the massive, open world lego adventure
"lego 2k drive."
Oh, my goodness. We're doing 2k drive.
I've beaten literally every lego game that they've ever put out.
So this is very, very cool for me.
The game "lego 2k drive" is full of brick-built vehicles
Smashing and crashing into one another,
Then reforming to create all-new rides.
Behind me you'll see some beautiful sports cars
And turbo-charged watercraft inspired by the game.
Each team will get to pick one race car
And one water vehicle.
We'll smash them together...
- Oh. - ...To create brand new
Off-road remote control vehicles...
- Oh, my gosh. - ...That you will then race.
- Oh, my god! - Yeah!
- Yeah, let's do it. - That sounds very cool.
That sounds hard.
Now, here is what's gonna make this more difficult
Than your usual challenge.
The brick pit...
...Is off-limits.
- What? - You can only build
- With the bricks collected from your epic smash. - Oh, my god.
Will: So pick your vehicles wisely.
Not being able to use the brick pit today
Is definitely adding another level of challenge to this.
- For sure. - Whatever we get is all we get,
So we need to be smart about our choices.
The brick pit may be closed,
But your imaginations need to be wide open
Because all of those elements that you do have matter.
They need to become something different.
Definitely not those vehicles that we gave you.
- Something new. - Yeah.
And whatever that new vehicle is,
It needs to be strong
Because you're gonna be racing around
Quite the bumpy, rugged terrain.
It's gonna be off-road.
They're gonna be shaken and rattled.
- Oh! - Oh, my gosh.
But we want more than just that rc base that we're giving you
To make it across the finish line.
It needs to be your model.
But this is not just about strength
Because the best looking off-road vehicle
Will win an advantage--
The chance to start in pole position for the race.
Ooh.
Before the show, we randomly selected the order.
Neena and sam, you're up first.
Which race car and which boat would you like?
They said that we're only gonna be able to use the pieces
From these vehicles for this challenge.
So I'm looking around to try to see
What has the best colors and the most pieces
Just in terms of size.
We're gonna go for the doughnut car
And the crocodile boat.
It's time to smash them together.
Remember, we're doing that so that you can get your pieces to build with.
Yeah, let's go. Let's smash some cars.
All: Smash, smash, smash, smash, smash.
Smash, smash!
- Oh! - Will: Nice!
( murmuring )
- ( applause ) - go and start grabbing some of those bricks.
Now, you don't have to use all of these bricks in your build,
But this is all you have to work with.
Emilee and kelly, you're up.
- I think the banana... - And then how about the gray pontoon?
- Yeah. They have a lot of big parts on it. - Yeah.
Okay, we'll go for the banana car
And the pontoon boat.
Smash.
Oh!
- Yay! - That was a good one. I like that one.
- Will: Wow. - This is the most fun way
- We've ever started a challenge. - It's so fun.
And all the pieces going everywhere.
It was amazing.
Paul and nealita, you're next.
Honestly, the first one I'm just eyeing
Is literally one of the sports cars.
Either the white one or the red one, but I want it.
He's like, "do you want the buggy?"
I'm like, "no, I want the sports car!
You figure out the boat, but I want the sports car."
We're gonna do the white sports car.
Paul: And the brown boat.
Smash!
- ( all cheering ) - let's go!
- Smash! - Nealita: Let's go!
- The boat's still intact. - Dang.
- Okay, boat. - ( muttering )
Christopher and robert, you're up.
Black, blue, red is a good color scheme.
Which race car and which boat would you like?
We want the blue hot rod and the black grave boat.
This on I'm gonna do no look-see.
Oh!
All right, so now that every team has got their car and boat...
Oh, wait! Luis and alex.
Luis: Since we were last, we got the submarine sandwich and the red race car.
They're very large. We figure that's gonna have a lot of parts in them.
We like the color scheme, and we think that
We're gonna be able to make a good build out of these two.
You guys are about to lose your lunch with this sub.
I love smashing builds.
Nothing gives me more pleasure
Than watching those bricks just shatter.
Mmm, mmm, mmm. So satisfying.
- Oh! - ( laughter )
So I have to do everything around here?
( laughter )
( cheers and applause )
Just like we planned.
- Ooh, they are ready for action. - Jamie: Yeah.
Will: I know. They're, like, going to work.
The race begins in eight hours.
Eight hours. Okay.
You're gonna wanna build strong and build fast
Because the winner of that race
Will automatically ride into the top two.
- Okay. - Ooh.
All right.
What's my line?
Get your brick on!
- This way. - You got it.
- Okay. Yeah. - We need to plan first
Okay.
That was a lot of pieces in there.
Ooh!
These are really cool.
- Did you have any ideas? - I have none right now.
- Do you have any ideas? - Shark?
Let's open it up first.
We wanna make a really rigorous plan for this challenge,
And a big part of that plan is sorting.
We have such a limited piece selection,
And every single piece counts. Nothing can go to waste.
Blue upper part, black lower jaw?
We are making the fintastic flamin' shark-a-tron,
Armed with missiles, flames shooting out of the sides.
This is a shark themed off-road vehicle
That's ready to devour the competition.
The challenge here is taking full advantage of all the pieces.
What about something cuban? We could do croquetas?
- My kids love croquetas. - Oh, there you go. Perfect.
- What's up, guys? - Hey, will. How are you?
Do you have any gaming experience?
- We both play with our kids a lot. - You do?
Yeah, my kids are just getting old enough into gaming.
It's actually a lot of fun,
And we usually play together as a family.
Back home my kids love eating croquetas/croquets.
A croqueta is a cuban treat. It's deep fried.
It's usually made with some ground up ham.
And so we're gonna make a croqueta vehicle.
It's basically a food truck in the shape of a croqueta
Meant to deliver some croquetas to our children.
And then you're going to have to race it.
- And we gotta race it. - On our custom course.
Yes. Alex is driving our vehicle,
So I'm expecting some amazing driving.
Will: There we go.
Robert: I had to take a six-hour driving school,
- And during the school, I crashed the car. - No!
Bruh. Remind me never to get in the car with you.
Are you guys fighting again?
- Are we back in villain mode? - Yes.
Don't mind me.
Just got some trust issues.
I mean, everybody knows why I'm doing this, right?
- Christopher. - Christopher, yes.
This is off-limits.
Strong.
- Hi. - Will! Hi.
Look who's here. It's some super spry young guy.
What's your build gonna look like?
It's gonna look like a bee!
Kelly: It's gonna be yellow and gray stripes.
Gonna have wings, a stinger, and a little face to make it cute.
- Do you play video games? - I like video games.
- You do? - Yeah, nba 2k.
I like video games, and actually racing games are my favorite.
I like to play, um, mind games.
- Ooh. - Or do I?
Now he's gonna walk away. This is his cue.
Oh, I knew that was com-- oh, gosh.
You know, you sort of blew up my spot when you were like,
"he likes to say the thing, and then he just leaves."
It's your tell, will. You gotta try some new things.
Like, does this seem fun to you?
Like, "I'm amazing. Okay."
But, like, watch this. Hey!
- Whoo! - Sorry, I don't believe in leaving--
"good luck! You're awesome!"
All right, so, kelly, hurry up with the building!
- What are you doing? - I know!
Sorry, now that she's hosting, I'm taking over her job.
- Oh, my god. - You're doing it very well.
- Shut up, kelly! God, who asked you? - I would never.
- Emilee, will you do my next check in? - I mean, I can try.
You've got the job. Why don't you just throw to commercial?
Let's go to commercial.
So, brickmasters, how is this 2k drive challenge gonna actually work?
Our teams had to pick one race car and one boat
And they have to mash them up
To create a completely brand new off-road vehicle.
Will: So it's just like in the game
Where cars and boats are constantly being transformed?
- Exactly. - Jamie: They also have to build strong
Because we want them to race around an off-road course that's bumpy and wild
And make sure that at least most of their car makes it over the finish line.
But we're not making it easy for them in this challenge
Because they can only use the bricks from the two original vehicles.
The brick pit is totally off-limits.
I'm literally picking every piece off the floor because every piece counts.
Amy: If you really focus on aesthetics,
You have the chance to get pole position,
Which means you starting out in front in the race.
- That is a big advantage. - Yeah.
- That's cute. - Yeah.
Sam: Not having access to the brick pit is a challenge.
- Hey, will. - Hi, neena. Hi, sam.
- How are you doing? - You know what?
I just remembered something. Hey, emilee?
- Uh-oh. - Oh, gosh.
I just forgot that, emilee, you wanted to do check-ins for me.
- I did not want to. You asked me to. - Okay, go ahead.
So tell me what you guys are doing today.
We're smashing up a...
Oh, my gosh. Wow.
- Check out... - Do I interrupt a lot?
No, I'm just listening. You know, I'm just listening.
I'm just here to listen. Tell me what you're doing.
We're smashing up a doughnut and a crocodile.
Wow, that sounds really lame. Good luck to you guys.
( laughing )
Oh! That was awesome. Spot on.
Emilee, I have to admit that you did a pretty good job.
- And I hate to admit it. Guys, how's it going? - Both: Good.
We're building a big ol' pickup truck.
It's not just your typical gas guzzler pickup truck.
It's a green machine with solar panels and flowers growing out of all sides.
Well, good luck. I'll check in with you in a little bit.
Okay.
Do we have big yellow plates or are they all gray?
We don't have really big yellow plates.
Every big plate is going to be gray.
Hello, christopher and robert.
- How are you doing? - Amy: Yeah!
We're excited. We are creating a shark mobile.
Great, I love that. I think it's definitely ambitious.
Christopher: Yeah, I think the hardest part for us
Will be attaching the jaw of the shark at a robust angle.
It's really important that you get that face and tail of the shark.
- Yeah. - Because those are really the aspects
That make us recognize that it's a shark.
Maybe this is foreshadowing, but if both were to fall off,
Then it wouldn't be much of a shark anymore.
That's why it's so important to us
To try and see what we can do to make this strong.
- Just kind of grab us... - Three little...
So maybe it's mostly a gray bee and there's yellow stripes.
This is so freaking frustrating.
I wish we could use the brick pit today.
- Jamie: Hello, emilee and kelly. - Hi.
Yes.
How are we doing with this challenge?
We're off to a little bit of a slow start I feel like.
We picked the gray pontoon boat, which looked the biggest,
So we thought we'd have a lot of pieces to choose from.
But it turns out it's a lot of gray plates.
Like, a lot of gray plates.
So our initial plan was to make it look kind of rounded
- All around like the body of a bumblebee. - Yeah.
But I don't know that we have the pieces to make that happen,
So we're trying to figure out how to make this work.
If we can't round it out, then what do we do?
- I don't know. - It's hard.
- This is hard for us. - Yes, it is. Yes.
This is not a bumblebee or a car.
- It's bumblebee meets car. - Okay.
Don't get tied down too much to thinking,
"it's a bumblebee. Everything has to be curved.
- All the edges have to look like this." - or look like a bee. Okay.
It doesn't need to be a bumblebee on wheels.
- Okay. - We need to shift our thinking then.
- Okay. - Thank you so much.
That helps a lot. Thank you.
Good luck. Keep having fun.
We'll see you later. Thank you.
They're right. We need to get the structure down,
Not worry about boxiness.
Because if we have something, we can edit something.
It actually is like a weight is kind of lifted off of us
Because it's not actually a bee.
It's a car first that looks like a bee.
I think when we get the bees on top,
- Like, these little wings-- - it's cute.
Oh, my gosh!
Stop the clock! Stop, stop, stop!
I have an announcement!
There's a twist.
Great.
Usually when you hear will say, "stop the clock!
There's a twist!" it's a bad thing.
- I'm like, "no. Just no." - hard pass.
No twist.
Thanks to 2k games,
The winning car today will do more
Than just drive their teams into the semifinals.
- Oh. - Oh, my god!
Like, what is it? Let us know now.
Thanks to 2k games,
The winning car today will do more
Than just drive their teams into the semifinals.
It'll keep on driving forever...
In the game!
...As a playable vehicle in "lego 2k drive."
- All right! - Will: Yeah!
- Whoo! - Nealita: Love that.
- That's so cool! - Will: That's right.
The car that wins this "lego masters" challenge
Will be digitized and included in the actual video game.
- Yeah! - That's awesome.
We need to win.
That is probably the most exciting prize
I have ever heard of on any season of "lego masters,"
And we are certainly into overdrive now.
You kind of called it as I was saying it.
- I'm sorry. - She still wants my job.
The clock starts back up now. Good luck.
Wait, who wins the pole position?
- The prettiest car. - Oh, okay.
So how difficult is this as a challenge?
With the brick pit closed--
Jamie: Well, at this stage of the competition,
They know the brick pit pretty well,
So they know what pieces they have.
Now they have to understand a whole new set of pieces
And they may not have all of the pieces that they're looking for.
- I am physically out of blue. - So how are the teams doing?
Jamie: Looking over christopher and robert, that mouth on the front,
They're really talking about it as a stable mouth.
And I think finding the pieces to actually attach
Everything together can be a little bit tricky.
That's so cute.
Amy: Emilee and kelly, they're feeling a little bit stuck
On how they could build a literally bumblebee.
So I really want them to take what's great about a bumblebee
And interpret that into their vehicle in a more abstract way.
Maybe we don't have to make the back look like the back of a bee.
Maybe we make it look more like the back of a car.
Luis and alex are making a croqueta,
And it's something that they actually love eating with their families,
So they're bring us a nice story.
My biggest cautions to them is right now it looks like the submarine.
And also, everyone else's vehicle
Is kind of integrated down into their base.
There's is almost raised above it on top.
But that height needs to be stabilized
Because otherwise it can be really hard to control.
We need to figure out how to get this up here structurally sound.
Should we do green accent marks?
We should put some plants if we can back here.
- 'cause it looks pretty brown. - Yeah.
Like a design with the little green...
Nealita: After that twist, we definitely thought
We had to approach our build just a little bit differently.
We have to make it more cartoonish
Compared to making it more of a realistic type of vehicle
Because it might be in the game.
Okay, some ideas-- swamp.
Nealita: I actually like this a lot.
Paul: We are building an off-road vehicle
That's primarily brown and white
That will have lively elements
To kind of go with our swamp vibe that we're going for.
- Hello. - Paul and nealita.
- Hi. - Well done in being in the top two
- In the last challenge. - Thank you.
You two are definitely coming together
- Really well as a team. - We are.
Yeah, the pressure is on.
But it's just to say I'd like to push you even further.
How would you describe these elements along the side?
Paul: So we imagined these as lifesavers.
I think because they were on your boat as those bumpers,
Now it starts to feel like it's the same thing.
- Right. - I think it's also great
That you have some of these lime pieces,
And you should be really wise and playful with them
To draw our attention to the areas that you want us to.
- Okay, okay. - All right.
We can't wait to see how it turns out.
- Thank you. - Yeah. Good luck.
Thank you. So let's take these off.
They didn't like these at all.
Those lifesavers, they have to go.
And now we have to focus the lime green
'cause that's really what's gonna draw everybody's attention.
Gotta rethink this now.
Neena: We need to start building a little bit faster here.
We need some one by gray plates, and we're totally out,
'cause we have to cover this.
- Hey. - Luis and alex, hello.
- Both: How are you, guys? - Talk to me a little bit about
How you're going to bring in the color and some of these details.
My kids actually love eating our croquetas with ketchup,
So we're hoping to give it a ketchup racing stripe,
- Um, down the middle. - Okay.
That is not common, by the way.
A lot of cubans would have a heart attack
When they see ketchup on a croqueta, but, hey.
In miami, we eat a lot of croquetas.
Usually topped by lemon, not by ketchup.
The ketchup is a crime that his family commits.
How do you feel about driving this?
Because I just remind you, the course is very wild.
You know, I don't want it to feel unbalanced for him when he's driving.
Be mindful, because if you do have a lot of weight too high up,
It's gonna wanna throw you beyond where you can control.
- Right. - But as long as, you know,
We don't hit anything, I think it'll be sturdy enough.
Okay. We'll look forward to seeing it.
- Thank you very much. - Thank you.
- Let's test. - The most important part of the challenge
Is building a really strong car
That can really survive off-road conditions.
Christopher: Let's test a bump. Test a bump.
Robert: The core of our shark and the fins are extremely strong.
The front of the car gives me some hesitation.
Christopher: I'm gonna be your bump here.
Go on just-- just the-- just this part, okay?
Robert: Just give me a straight path.
( gasps )
- Whoa! - Robert: Did it break?
Robert: Just give me a straight path.
( gasps )
- Whoa! - Oh, jeez.
- Oh, my gosh. - That is terrifying.
The most important parts of a shark
Are the front jaw and the back fin.
So the jaw's popping off,
We don't have access to the brick pit,
And frankly, we don't have a lot of pieces left.
So this is gonna be a big challenge to secure it.
If the race starts and our jaw immediately falls off,
We could be going home.
Very high stress for me.
I love driving video games,
But I'd say that my second favorite genre
Would be games where, like, a big, angry gorilla
Tosses barrels from his platform.
- Kind of like this. - Oh, my goodness.
- Oh, my gosh. - Aah!
- Oh, my gosh! - Now that I have your attention,
- One hour left! - Oh, my god!
Come on, we gotta build. What you doing?
Let's go, let's go, let's go.
- Can we use those pieces? - Wow.
Okay, I'm gonna work on affixing the solar panels next.
What else is in a swamp besides lily pads?
Can you do a looming frog or something?
Paul: I can try.
Nealita: I mean, these could be the feet.
I feel like that frog really helped bring it together.
Well, thanks the idea.
Will: Builders, you have ten minutes!
Kelly: If we're gonna test drive it,
We should do it before we totally run out of time.
We have ten minutes to do another test.
Emilee: I'm just going very slow.
Kelly: Look how cute it is.
- It's so cute! - That goes to the right.
That goes to the left. We're totally gonna win.
Don't come near me, christopher. Christopher, don't even come--
- ( laughing ) - christopher! Christopher! Do not come near me.
We always get joy out of tormenting emilee and kelly.
Especially emilee. And she seems particularly afraid of our car.
- That's close enough. - So by all means, we will double down.
- Christopher! - ( laughing )
One minute left. You have one minute left!
- Please don't crash it. - Will: Time is almost up. Finish those vehicles.
- Aah! - And then it is race time!
- Hurry, hurry, hurry, hurry. - See, I like these there.
They give it an extra swamp vibe.
Sam: You can fit so many eco-friendly power sources inside this bad boy.
Do you like those tiles or hate them?
- Tell me right now. - That's fine.
No, no, no. That's not it. Stop, stop, stop, stop, stop.
Five, four, three, two, one.
Time's up! Bricks down.
- ( all cheering ) - wow.
- Will: All right, congratulations. - We did it.
Kelly: It might not be exactly like a bee,
But I really am happy with the design.
We really hope the brickmasters love the look of our bee
- Just as much as we do. - ...Icle.
- Bee-hicle. - All right, the brickmasters
Are gonna take a look at all of your creations
Because anything can happen once you hit the course.
I'm so scared.
Neena and sam, you're up.
We've got the flower power on our side,
And I'm feeling really good about this.
Neena and sam, tell us about your mashup build.
Sam: We had the doughnut car and the crocodile boat.
So we've built the green machine,
A pickup truck that has been overgrown,
Powered by the solar panels in the truck flowerbed.
Wow. What a transformation
From those two very whimsical vehicles that you started with.
I also love the way you used the tooth from the crocodile as the door handles,
Which I think really speaks to the creativity you had in the parts.
Where I could've pushed you a little more is the solar panels on the back.
If they were giant flowers or something fun,
It would've helped to lean in to the video game aspect of this build.
Don't overlook those opportunities to add that whimsy.
But honestly, with the parts given, you've done a great job.
- Thank you. - Thank you very much.
I'll see you at the race.
Christopher and robert, you're up.
Look how he does that.
This is the fintastic flamin' shark-a-tron!
Atomic batteries to power, turbines to speed,
Missile teeth at the ready,
Introducing the off-road vehicle
With over 10,000 shark power.
It's the car that was built from a blue hotrod
And a jet black grave boat.
Will: How do you think it's gonna do in the race?
That jaw's attached about as strongly as we could,
But that actually is an extra added feature. It's not a bug.
If the top jaw pops off of our vehicle,
Then that becomes an obstacle on the road,
For the shark jaw will take on a life of its own
And start to try to gnaw at other people's vehicles.
- Wow. - Amy: You have really created
Something totally fantastical.
You've also been really clever
In the way that you've used the black
Because it almost becomes a little invisible against the blue,
And it actually helps you to hide some of the areas
Where maybe you didn't have the bricks that you wanted.
Oh, yeah, I didn't realize that whole back thing is black
And then just has the blue on top.
- It's smart. - Every one of those pieces was special to you,
And yet you didn't to choose to just build a squarish shape.
You still chose to create a nice angular body,
Angular fins, angular front.
Every one of your shapes is complicated,
It's complex, and it's dynamic,
And I think that's great.
- All right, thank you. - Good job, boys.
- Good job. - Emilee and kelly, you're up.
- Okay. - Yeah!
Kelly: We had the banana car and we had the pontoon boat.
And this is stinger, the off-road bee-hicle.
Delightful, even with the wink.
Emilee: So our vehicle is super cute,
But then also super fierce with her stinger back there.
So be aware. Don't get near me, christopher.
- ( laughing ) - will: Wow.
- How is your driving? - My real life driving is good.
I'm kind of like a grandma driver.
But that's okay. They can go around me,
And I am just gonna take it slow and steady.
I have to say, when we checked in with you
And you showed us that pile of plates,
You were really searching for, "how are we gonna do this?"
It's not completely round,
But you're embracing the angularity of it.
And your accentuating that on the front,
And I think it's really great to see.
Amy: Perhaps we could've had more bumblebee stripes
To showcase how good you are with the bricks.
( buzzing )
- Paul and nealita, you're up. - All right. Thank you.
So we started off with a white sport car and a brown boat,
And we've mashed them up to create a swamp road vehicle.
So we have a frog on top
That's actually eating a fly off a lily pad
And other swamp details in the lime green spread throughout.
- Will: Nealita, you're gonna be driving. - Yes.
I wanna warn all my drivers ed students right now,
Don't do what I'm gonna do over there, okay?
- Okay. Wow. - That's all I gotta say.
Brickmasters, what do you think of their vehicle?
I especially like the detailing you have on the side with the little green 1x1s
Where you've actually used the tube side rather than the stud side.
That shows that you've been looking at things
That we would normally put one way and thinking,
"how can I actually build them into a different way?"
And I'm happy you didn't use those bumpers on the side
That referenced back to your boat.
What I would've loved to see
Is if you focused more of the green color around the frog
- To make us see it really clearly right away. - Thank you.
Nealita: Based on what the brickmasters say,
I feel like we have a shot at getting pole position.
Fingers crossed. We'll see what happens.
Luis and alex, you're up.
Luis: We're feeling good about our build.
All the other teams are definitely gonna have to "ketchup" to this vehicle.
We need a little more emphasis on the "ketchup"
- For the pun to read. - All the other teams
Are definitely gonna have to "ketchup"...
I forgot the rest of the line. I was so focused on--
That was better. We selected the red race car
And the submarine sandwich.
Alex: And we turned it into the croqueta mover.
Alex: Both our kids are big fans of croquetas,
So we wanted to make a funny and silly vehicle
That would fit with the video game.
We also have a ketchup racing stripe.
I like to eat my croquetas with ketchup.
I've learned it's a controversial choice.
I would say looking at it, it's heavy in a high place.
Quite frankly, I do think it will give you some challenges in the turns,
But that's where your expert driving will really come into play.
He's not allowed to tip it over.
Where I am struggling is that red stripe is giving me the sandwich vibes.
I am still seeing quite a lot of the submarine in this build as well.
- We'll see you at the race. - Both: Thank you.
- Good job. - Okay, it's almost race time.
But before we go, brickmasters,
Which team has earned pole position
With the best-looking mashup vehicle?
There was one team that really captured our imagination
With their creative concept, their sleek design,
And their great detailing.
So the winner of best aesthetics
And pole position is...
The winner of best aesthetics and pole position is...
Christopher and robert. Well done.
- Good job. - Christopher: I'm feeling pretty good
That we're in pole position.
Now we just have to not mess up
And retain that top spot no matter what.
Will: All right, builders,
The first car to cross the finish line after six laps
Will automatically be entered into the top two.
Your performance on the course will also help the brickmasters
Decide who ends up in the bottom two.
Now off to the races.
♪ five, four, three, two, one ♪
Will: Welcome to bricklandia,
The digital brick filled world of "lego 2k drive"
That we've transformed into our own
Real life off-road track.
So start those engines, because it's go-time.
I feel pretty confident about my driving,
But seeing the track,
It's a lot more adventurous than I expected.
- ♪ five, four, three, two, one ♪ - ( beeps )
There's divots, there's slopes,
There's underpasses that are just tough little nightmares.
Good luck, chris.
The job of a driver is important,
But I think the job of a pit crew member is even more so.
Whenever the car flips over,
It is my job to run over as quick as possible,
Flip that thing back upright so we can be back in the game.
( engines revving )
- On your marks. - Come on.
Paul: Okay, you got this. You got it.
- Will: Get set. - ( clears throat )
- Oh, my gosh. I am so nervous. - You got this.
- ( engines revving ) - ( beeping )
Feel like I'm gonna pass out though and die.
- ( beeps ) - will: Go!
- Oh! - Oh!
That is some impressive driving!
Right out of the gate, there's a big crash between--
It looks like absolutely everyone.
- What the hell you doing? - ( laughing )
Will: Except christopher, who's off to an early lead.
( laughing )
Will: Sam is the first to leave the crash
But is still blocking nealita.
Nealita: Get out my way! Move!
- Go! - Oh, my god! Move!
Move! What are you doing?
Drive!
- Jamie: Oh, my goodness. - Will: Uh-oh.
Jamie: The shark's already going around a full lap.
Lap one!
Now it's time to go aggro mode.
Will: Wow, look at this. And smash.
Christopher!
- The shark is hungry for blood! - Get out of the way!
Will: Look at this. Shark is attacking. Oh, no!
Chill out! Back it up!
Jamie: That shark is going strong.
Will: Christopher is the only driver out there
Taking this aggressive approach,
And he pushes nealita past the start line
For her first lap and his second.
He's really looking to take 'em off the course.
Jamie: That is some aggressive driving.
- Move, christopher! - Will: Oh, no, but nealita's not having it.
Oh, she's lured him in.
Oh!
Move! Get out the way.
Will: It's absolute carnage on the track.
Paul: There you go. Good job. Doing a good job.
Will: Nealita zooms into second place,
Overtaking neena and sam.
( laughing )
Kelly: Good job, good job! Emilee, you're doing it!
Meanwhile in fourth place, emilee is taking it slow and steady.
And in last place, alex is really struggling to maneuver his big croqueta.
Come on, luis!
Our build is definitely too top heavy.
It's been a disaster.
Robert: Let's go, let's go, let's go, let's go!
Will: Looking back at christopher, who's in the lead...
Oh! The shark rolled over and lost his tail!
- No! Robert, robert! - Let's go.
No, the jaw! What are you doing, chris?
Will: Christopher's crash is giving nealita a chance to catch up here.
Despite that crash, they are still in the lead.
- A lot of damage off the shark. - Lap three!
Paul: Keep going! Go, go, go, go!
Get out of my way, for real.
That's three. That's three.
Will: There's lap four for christopher.
Yes, yes!
Paul: Good job. Doing a good job.
- Go faster! - Yo! Oh, my god, move!
Will: Nealita is closing in on christopher.
- We on four. - This is tense.
Good, good. Get out of my way!
Will: Here comes christopher completing his fifth lap.
Paul: Keep going! Go, go, go, go!
Will: With nealita hot on his heels,
Completing her fifth lap.
- Paul: Okay, you got this. - She's now in a position
To catch up and win the race.
- Oh! Shoot. - Oh, no! Nealita is down.
- Robert: Yes! - Emilee: Hey!
Will: Christopher is trying to keep his lead,
But there's another jam-up.
- Bottleneck under the bridge. - Christopher!
( christopher laughs )
Will: Christopher can't stop rear-ending emilee.
So many traffic violations out here.
I have no idea how close christopher is to emilee,
But I assume that he's mugging her or something right now.
Christopher!
That did feel very personal.
Christopher is behind me, and he is just hitting me,
And I'm like, "christopher! Christopher!"
Christopher, stop! Christopher!
"christopher! Christopher!"
Christopher!
- ( laughing ) - christopher!
Christopher! Stop!
Go around me if you wanna go faster than me!
Will: Christopher is in the lead,
And trying to pass the other teams for the win.
Get out of my way!
I like to be a force a chaos, like, in life,
And I think I did that in this race.
- It was a net chaotic modifier placed on everybody. - Yeah.
Oh, he's gonna try to take the high road for once.
- Yes! - Will: Christopher has a path to victory here,
Unless nealita can catch-- oh, no!
Oh, pick it up! Come on, pick it up!
Will: She's blocked by a big crash by emilee.
- Yes! - This is the win. This is the win.
That's six. That's six!
Christopher: Yeah, let's go! That's what we're talking about!
- Whoo! - We have an off-road champion.
Congratulations, christopher and robert.
Rounding out our leaderboard,
Paul and driving instructor nealita earn second place.
- Let's go! - Sam and neena finish in third with minimal damage.
Going slow and steady earns emilee and kelly fourth,
And luis and alex's croqueta
Crumbles over the finish line in fifth.
- How does it feel? - We devoured the competition!
It is such a huge relief to be in the top two.
If we were to win the challenge,
That would be such an amazing feeling.
- Good job! - I sure hope our car is 2k drive worthy,
Because that would be a dream come true.
Teams, this week we smashed, we crashed,
We built, we raced,
And then we crashed again!
And now the winner of this challenge
Will see their creation immortalized
In "lego 2k drive" as a playable vehicle.
- So excited. - Yeah!
Very, very cool. All right, so, brickmasters,
Who is in contention to see
Their vehicle come to life in "lego 2k drive"?
Actually, will, there was one clear winner for this challenge,
And I'd like to congratulate christopher and robert.
- Yes, yes! - ( cheers and applause )
- Oh! - Will: Christopher and robert,
You finished first in the off-road race,
And you wowed the brickmasters with their favorite build
Based on aesthetics.
You basically just broke the competition,
Isn't that right, jamie?
Yeah, you had a model that really stood out.
It was imaginative, it was cleverly built,
And you had some really playful features
That'll show up amazingly well in a game.
I'm gonna be honest, this prize was more exciting to me
Than winning the entire thing.
I mean, it's so cool because I've played every lego game.
I'm the biggest lego fan.
And having something that we've made in an official lego game
Is-- my mind is just blown right now.
- Thank you. - Great job, you two.
Thank you so much. Thank you.
- Good job, you two. - Good job, guys.
All right, brickmasters, we need to say goodbye to one team.
Please give me the name of the first team in the bottom two.
The first team I'd like to call forward is...
- Luis and alex. - Aww.
The second team I'd like to call forward is...
- Emilee and kelly. - That's all right.
Wow.
Jamie: Luis and alex,
This was a challenge about transformation,
And unfortunately we saw too much of your original submarine
In your finished model.
Emilee and kelly, it was clear that you struggled
With the limited brick selection.
All right, brickmasters, who is going home?
The team that will be leaving us today is...
Luis and alex. I'm sorry.
Good job, bud. Nice work.
Luis and alex, how great is it
That you guys got to come here and do this together?
It's been amazing.
Alex and I, obviously we're coworkers,
But I almost got a new brother here.
So this is the best thing I could've done,
Best partner I could've had.
And honestly, it's not just alex.
It's 22 other amazing people
That we got to become family with.
You really are such talented builders,
And I'm sure you're gonna be absolute rock stars
When you go back to school.
- Thank you very much. - Thank you.
Luis and alex, unfortunately
Your "lego masters" journey ends here.
Please turn in your minifigs and say goodbye.
Luis: I'd give us an a-plus for what we've done here.
I'm a bit of a tougher grader than luis.
I would say an a-minus,
Just 'cause we didn't get to that finish line.
- Good luck, guys. - Appreciate it.
When I found out I was gonna be on the show,
The first thing my daughter told me was,
"just don't go home on the first challenge."
So she's gonna be really proud and really happy.
We got this.
Alex: I think my son's gonna be ecstatic.
My son's the reason why I'm here.
He's the reason why I know about "lego masters."
So I'm really excited to go back home and build with him.
Class dismissed.
Will: Next week...
Please keep your arms and legs inside the vehicle
Because for our semifinal challenge
You're building rollercoasters.
All right. Got your reaction here.
Emilee: I am nervous about the lift mechanism.
I've never done anything like this, and I am panicking.
I'm about ready to just walk out of here.
Christopher: It's not pushing the car up. It's wobbling.
Nealita: We took a risk by having two epic drops and two loops.
- Well, just push it. - Will: Who won this challenge,
And who is advancing to the finale?
