Will: Last week...
We are challenging you to build your very own treehouses.
Your treehouse will have to sit up there
without any connection points.
Influencers Nick and Stacey delivered a tree-mendous build.
Jamie: This really has a wow that brings us in.
In the end, it was friends Christine and Michelle
who had to make like a tree and leave.
- It's been an honor. - And now, the builders
finally answer the age old question--
who let the dogs out?
( cheering )
Oh, my God! Puppies! I'm so excited!
Will: Your job is to build
a perfect recreation of your dog.
You'll parade your build next to its furry twin at our dog show.
This is definitely the weirdest thing we've ever done.
Who will be crowned Best In Lego Show?
One minute until they're disqualified.
And who will find the challenge too "ruff"?
"Lego Masters" starts now.
Man on PA: Here we go.
Five, four, three, two, one.
- Hey, guys! - Hi!
- Hello! - Why does this look like a dog show?
- Oh! Do you think-- - Do you think there's gonna be dogs?
- Oh, my God! A dog show! - Will: Stay.
- Oh, puppies! - Stay.
Good builders.
Welcome to the Brickminster Dog Show.
( cheering )
Now, the folks at the network
felt that I couldn't host this episode alone,
so please meet my new co-host for the week, Remington.
- Oh, my God. - Come here, Remy. Hi.
( cheering )
Or go see the builders. Whatever.
Oh, kisses! Oh! Oh, he's such a good boy.
- I miss my dog. - Stay. Good boy.
He's such a good dog, and he's so much easier to train
than Brickmasters Amy and Jamie.
So today, Remington and I, we want you to build a show dog
that stands head and tails above the rest.
But it kind of feels like something's missing.
Like, maybe-- oh, I know!
- Release the hounds! - Yes!
( "Ride Of The Valkyries" playing )
- ( barking ) - ( cheering )
- ( overlapping chatter ) - ( music continues )
( shrieking )
( continues )
Oh, my God! Puppies! I'm so excited.
So, Emily's excited.
- You like dogs, huh? - I love dogs.
Emily, you're crying.
I'm so happy.
Okay, well, here is what's gonna happen.
Each team will adopt a third member
- to join their family. - Whoa!
Your job to build a perfect recreation of your dog...
- Oh, God. - ...capturing its look, style, and essence.
Sculpting realistic organic forms is one of the toughest things
that you can do with Lego bricks.
And we will be judging you on how realistically
you represent your gorgeous doggy models.
Each of our dogs have distinctive features--
their face, the shape of their ears,
and the texture of their fur.
So, think about what's most important for your dog
and be creative with the bricks to capture those unique details.
At the end of the challenge, you'll parade your build
next to its furry twin at our dog show.
Jamie: But we're not looking for just static sculptures here.
So really be clever and think about how you want to pose your dog.
Think about the balance of your dog.
And think about all those vulnerable parts that could break off,
because your dog is gonna be moving down a runway.
This is insane.
Ethan, have you ever participated in a dog show before?
- Uh, no. - No? Yeah, neither have I.
The team with the best build will win the challenge
and earn the title Best In Lego Show.
Wow.
So right now you should decide which dog
you and your teammate would like to adopt and build.
Now you'll notice that each one is wearing a colored collar.
When I say go, you're gonna have to run over to that table
and grab the corresponding leash
to walk them back to your build station.
The curtain goes up on the Brickminster Dog Show in 11 hours.
There's gonna be a little fight
over this dog situation, isn't there?
We need to be careful. Liam, maybe you don't want to join the stampede.
- It's okay if we get what's left. - Yeah.
I'll step to the sideline. Y'all go.
- Yeah, fair enough. - There was one dog
we instantly knew we had to have.
Dalmatians are a symbol of the fire service,
and we need to get this dog.
- Are you ready? - Okay.
The Dalmatian is wearing a gray collar,
so I'm setting my sights right on that gray leash
to make sure that we get the Dalmatian.
Get your brick on!
- ( overlapping shouting ) - Ethan, go! Ethan, go!
- Come on! Yeah! - Oh!
I ended up getting the dog that we wanted,
and I made sure we got it.
( distorted shouting )
- Hey, buddy! - Oh, there he is.
Hey! Come here, Mikey. Come here, Mikey.
- Where did he go? - I don't know.
- Hi, Blaze. There you go. - Good boy. Good puppy.
- Good dog. - Sit! Hi.
- It's okay, little boo. - Who's a good girl?
- You love the belly rubs. - This is the best season of "Lego Masters."
This is the best episode ever.
Happy.
So legs up or legs down?
Just for stability, I think the crawling motion,
'cause he has been crawling a lot.
We'll put him in a crawling position
and say that he's covering from smoke.
We got Blaze, a two-year-old Dalmatian.
Blaze's legs are so lean,
and based off of his body size,
those legs will not hold up in a standing pose.
So we have decided that we're gonna put him in a crawling position.
So we really want to build Blaze low and strong.
- How are you, Will? - I'm pretty good. How are you doing?
I'm a little disappointed I don't get to play with the dog a little more.
You know who's disappointed, Stephen?
- Who? - The people who built that table.
- Yeah, yeah. - They're disappointed.
They do call me Crash for a reason.
So have you been known to actually create holes in walls and/or doors?
- Yes. - It may or may not be my calling card.
- Is that his-- - It's very true.
- Is it really? - If you need a big hole, I'm gonna make it.
Boy, that could be our next challenge.
We're in.
One hand in the front, one hand on the back.
- It's not that simple. - Sit.
Stay. Oh, jeez.
So, if she holds still for three seconds--
- We got... - Maggie the Puli.
And she has long white fur, which we are going to replicate
using flex tubing, because we can bend it like her corded fur.
- Her fur is insane. - This is going to be so hard.
What's your idea on this? What do you think?
I think my biggest thing is legs that move as you pull.
- So as-- - You want them to actually move?
- Mm-hmm. - Like, look at that giant dog.
It's enormous. No wonder some people ran for the dogs that are so tiny.
Liam: It wasn't my choice. It was the last one.
- Emily: I know. - ( whines )
Liam: We're making Tank the English bulldog
on a one to one scale, fully brick-built.
Emily: The plan is to have his legs on wheels
and to be able to roll him down the dog walk.
We've had the Golden Brick now two weeks
and our goal is to not have to play it this early in the competition.
We wanna hold onto it for as long as possible.
Hey. Oh, sweetheart.
No, not on me. Not on me. Okay.
- Ethan and Dom. - What's up, Will?
- Hi, guys. - Hi.
Who's your friend? Is this Steel?
- This is Steel. - Hi, Steel.
We got the Steel the Dachshund. He's cute.
We plan on building this dog with a Technic frame in mind,
and then we'll be using SNOT bricks on the side to get that fur effect.
The Studs Not On Top technique,
also known as the SNOT technique,
allows you to have the bricks at an angle.
You can texture and volume to your builds.
I'm pretty confident in this challenge.
- I'm pretty confident overall. - Will: Yeah.
You guys are very confident overall, which is good.
Which is good.
We were top two last challenge,
and that puts some pressure on us to show that, you know,
that wasn't just a one-time fluke.
We're the real deal. We're some big competitors in this competition.
- ♪ Yo, my name's Ethan - ♪ And I'm Dom
- ♪ And we build Lego - ♪ All night long
Yeah!
Okay, four studs like this good enough?
- ( barks ) - This puppy is chonky.
Xavier: So we got Murph the French Bulldog.
He has a lot of fun features on his face,
that smushed nose and the big smile.
His body's pretty much like a potato, so--
- We have to contour the potato. - Yeah.
- So this can curve into here. - Mm-hmm.
And then we can curve out a little bit.
- Hello, Jon and Xavier. - Hi.
Tell us a little bit about how you're gonna capture Murphy,
because he's such an adorable dog.
So, he has a very distinct face,
he makes a lot of fun sounds, but as French bulldog,
the best thing they're known for are the ears.
So we definitely wanna make sure we capture that as well.
But you haven't started on the face,
and you're telling us how important the face is.
Just make sure you don't leave it too late
- because we want that big wow. - Definitely.
And so much of the wow in Murphy is in that face.
Jamie: Yeah.
- ( barks ) - What's that, Remington?
Remington, that is a great idea.
Why should I have all the fun? Yes.
Stop the clock! Stop the clock!
- What? - It is time for the most dramatic...
- What? - No!
- Are you serious? - twist...
- No! - We're switching dogs?
- ...ever. - ( whining )
( barking )
It is time for the most dramatic...
- No! - ( whines )
- ...twist ever. - We're switching dogs?
This is not the challenge where I want to have a curveball thrown at us.
- No. - I am imposing
"Lego Masters'" first-ever
five-minute mandatory...
...cuddle break!
- Yes! - Whoo!
- Yay! - Cuddle break!
That was Remington's idea. That's a good idea.
You're such a good girl. Best challenge twist ever!
You're the best, you're the best.
- Emily: Tappy the puppy. - Dave: Oh, Tappy.
- You're scaring him. - Okay, I'm sorry.
Oh, yeah. Yeah, kiss Daddy.
- Look, Dave's rolling over! - Lie down. Lie down.
Emily taught Dave a great trick.
Thank you.
All right, guys, sad to say, but cuddle time is over.
Both: Aww!
Will: Let's start the clock back up now.
So, Brickmasters, we need to recap the challenge
for all the folks who were distracted
by the A-plus cute dog content that we're providing this week.
So can you help them out?
This week we're asking our teams to build realistic dogs
based on real life models.
What do you think? Does that look like you?
Jamie: But they also have to be strong
because they need to lead that brick-built dog
down the runway for the final judging.
We really hope to see a lot of these dogs very close to a one to one scale.
Wanna make it to next week, man. I wanna make it to next week.
- Hello, Nick and Stacey. - Hello, hello.
- Hello, Nick and Stacey. - Hello! How are you?
Was this a dog that you were looking forward to building?
Nick: Today we're building a Corgi named Pippin.
Yeah, corgis are kind of a running joke in my community. I once built a little fox.
Someone thought it was a corgi
and it just really heavily snowballed.
I have built zombie uni-corgis,
I've build a Bob Ross corgi,
a robo-corgi, a three-headed corgi.
I've done every possible weird and crazy variation of corgi that you can imagine.
I've slowly been working on the face,
so you can see I'm getting the snout there, the eyes together.
The corgi is gonna be hyper-detailed, especially in the face.
Really craft those eyes, the mouth, have it open, have some teeth.
- Yeah, we do have some motors here... - Okay.
...just in case we can think of a fun way
- to get a little butt wiggle in there. - Interesting.
I think that could be really cool. Keep at it.
- Yeah, good luck. - Thank you.
Cheers.
- The legs don't feel sturdy. - I might have to redo those legs, which really sucks,
Now I'm sort of stressed.
I'm already feeling really good about this.
Hi, Mikey. Look at this guy. Good boy.
- What a good boy, huh? - Yeah, he is a good boy.
Animals are, like, really in my wheelhouse,
and they're something that especially passionate about doing in Lego.
So we know that measuring the dog
and using that to determine the right proportions and scale
is a critical component in replicating our Boston Terrier Mikey.
Now, Mikey, here's something you don't know.
These guys haven't won a challenge yet.
They've come close, but they haven't won, and they need this.
- Thanks for reminding us, Will. - And they want this.
Mikey, how are you gonna help? How can you help?
- Just by-- - ( whines )
- Aw, yeah. - Just by being cute.
- That's right. - What a good boy.
Good girl!
We're building a Papillon out of Lego
that looks just like Tap.
We have an advantage over everyone else
because I am the most comfortable
building with one hand and a dog.
- Hopefully that's true. - So I'm gonna build my best this challenge.
Dave: So, the Brickmasters wanted to make sure
that we're capturing the essence of Tap.
The ears are big, the little cuteness of the face,
and we need to make sure she can walk down the dog walk
- when we present to the judges. - Let them see your good side.
Dave: That's every side of a dog.
So, Remington, we call this the Brick Pit.
Stop playing. This is work. I'm gonna get fired again.
And they're gonna do that whole thing
where I gotta drive back here
and beg for my job back.
God.
Ours is complex.
Emily: I know. Tank is such a tank.
- ( whines ) - That's looking great, man.
- Hey! - Amy: Justin and Austin.
Hello! And you've got a new addition to the team.
So we are doing a Cavalier King Charles Spaniel named Collins.
- I have King Charles at my home. - Amy: Oh, lovely.
Justin: And our dogs have always been wonderful with the family.
They're very loveable dogs.
You talk about something cute and loveable,
but I am seeing something very mechanical here.
We're really trying to work on getting some leg movements that look like a dog walking.
The features we wanna focus on are fluffy ears,
that cute face, and of course, the floppy hairy feet.
- Would you give a preview? - Sure.
We got legs moving in different directions...
- Amy: Wow. - And then it'll move up the front, too.
I really like the ambition, but it actually has to make it down the runway.
- Sure, sure. - Sure.
The judges, they can see that we're doing something quite ambitious with these legs.
Risky move, I think, on our part,
but we wanna stand out from the rest of the competition.
It's really important for us to get this right.
Yeah, they're right. We have a lot of work to do.
All right, you're halfway through your build!
- Aah! - 5 1/2 hours left!
Oh, my goodness.
- Liam: Crazy. - Yeah, it is.
Hurry, hurry, hurry.
And, uh, think I'm done with the front legs.
- Awesome. - Let's do a test.
So we're halfway through the challenge,
and we're ready to start testing our build.
As we're testing it, everything is working perfectly fine.
- Okay, the feet are a little-- - Oh, no!
( barking )
Dom: As we're testing our build...
Oh, no!
...the head falls off, and that's no good.
Ethan: You know how I said build the neck sturdy?
Hopefully we can rebuild it a little bit more sturdier
so we don't run into that problem
once we walk down the doggie walk.
- Let's just take it back. - All right.
( dogs barking )
They do have the face on over there.
I'm just super impressed.
So there's an old saying in Hollywood,
never work with dogs, children, or Will Arnett.
- Today our teams are stuck with two of the three. - Mm-hmm. Yeah.
Who right now do you think is standing out as really excelling?
- Brendan and Greg. - That is bloody perfect.
They came in and they said, "We love building dogs.
We have sculpting in our heart," and they have speed.
So if they can pull all those together,
that could be a real contender.
Stephen and Stephen, obviously the Dalmatian is
such an integral part of their identity as firefighters.
And I think they're actually taking a chance here
because they're positioning it in a pose that is laying down a bit.
It's a real challenge, because there's a risk
that you break the form of your dog.
- Yes. - Is there anybody at this point
that you're a little concerned about?
Emily and Liam, because they've gone with
a very blocky brick-built body.
So I do hope they have enough time to really get the details.
- Ooh. - Sorry.
And also, they have the largest dog in the room,
- which is tricky. - Yeah.
And I think Jon and Xavier
also have some really strong parts of a model,
but they're really rough right now
in how they're coming together.
We need the proportions to be right.
We need that whole character to look as really adorable
as that French bulldog.
( muttering )
Austin: Flare in?
Why does it flare in? Because of the weight?
- 'Cause it's too heavy. - I guess so.
Damn it. What a shame.
It is getting down to the wire,
and we found out the legs are too heavy
to function with the dimensions that I've built initially.
Justin: So we gotta go into a different direction.
We have to just go with legs that are sturdy but don't move.
As much as these legs would set us apart,
we're gonna have a finished product if we try to do...
I'm really bummed that those legs, they're not gonna work.
We're gonna have to scrap that.
Before I yell, I just want to make it very clear
this is directed at the builders.
Okay? I would never yell at dogs like this ever.
- One hour left! - Aah!
You've got one hour left!
That's why the light's red--
or if you're dog, still black and white.
That is not enough time.
Austin: Must go faster.
It just needs a bit of shaping. Aah!
We gotta speed things up.
- Emily and Liam. - Hello.
- Hey, Will. How are you? - I'm great.
Your dog doesn't seem to have really legs at this point sort of.
- Yeah. Yeah. - This is like a stick drawing right now.
Did you forget that dogs had legs?
Not forgetting, it's just Tank is a huge 80-pound build,
- so we are racing the clock. - ( whines )
All we have is super skeletal legs.
Emily: The minutes are flying.
It's just too much work in too little time.
Now here's the one thing. Obviously, I want to point out--
- Golden Brick. - Emily: Yes.
I mean, look, that's always
your get out of jail free card, right?
- I know. - I have no idea if we'll be able to finish.
We're starting to get nervous that we might have to use the Golden Brick on this one.
- Think about it. - Yep. We are thinking about it.
- Okay. Good luck. - Are there any other teams
that don't have a finished dog?
- Not that I am aware of. - Oh, shoot.
( whines )
I'm freaking out because this head is taking some time to work,
and we still have to attach it to the body.
And also I'm nervous about the walking down the dog walk,
because if it's not secure in all points,
then it's gonna tip over.
Hoping it survives the walk.
Careful.
As we were testing our dog, the head fell apart.
And we don't want this head to fall off during the walk,
so we gotta make sure it's really secure.
I'm gonna redo the front legs.
You do the back of the head.
That's what I'm gonna start with,
the ears and the back of the head.
- All righty. - Okay.
One minute left. One minute.
- One minute. - We have one minute left.
- There's no time. - ( sighs )
Dom: You just gave me a heart attack.
Please move on right now.
Move on, Brendan. Please move on right now.
Will: Get those dogs show ready.
The Brickminster Dog Show is about to begin.
Okay.
Five, four, three, two, one.
Time's up. Bricks down.
( groans )
( dogs barking )
Whoo!
You win some, you lose some. It's okay.
Liam: Unfortunately, Tank might've kicked our butt,
and we knew we couldn't finish it in time.
Yeah, we're definitely disappointed at this moment.
Yay! Good job.
Guys, that was a howling success.
Now it's almost time for the dog show.
But first, Emily and Liam, you're holding onto the Golden Brick.
It provides immunity from elimination for one challenge.
If you choose not to use your Golden Brick now
and you end up in the doghouse, AKA the bottom two,
- I take it away. - Yeah.
So would you like to use the Golden Brick
to protect yourself from elimination today?
( barking )
Emily and Liam, would you like to use the Golden Brick
to protect yourself from elimination today?
Liam: Looking around the room,
everyone else's dogs are actually looking finished,
and I am a little bit worried.
Yes, we're using the Golden Brick.
- Wow! - Wow.
Please turn in the Golden Brick now.
Thank you.
Emily and Liam, you are safe from elimination today.
Now you might see this again later,
but for now the Golden Brick is back with me.
All right, let's get the Brickminster Dog Show underway.
( music playing )
Hello, America, and welcome to the Brickminster Dog Show.
Joining me tonight, my co-host Remington.
Remington, bark hello to the folks at home, would you?
- ( barks ) - There we go.
One by one, teams will walk their Lego pups down the catwalk.
- ( barking ) - Sorry, check that--
down the dog walk alongside their four-legged friends.
Brickmasters Amy and Jamie will study each dog closely
to determine if the builders captured the right doggy look
and the right doggy style.
The top three builds will earn a spot in the winner's circle,
but only one will win Best In Lego Show.
Let's start the show.
( barking )
Remington!
Remington, we're starting--
starting the show.
That went great.
Killing it over here, you guys.
First up, we've got Dave and Emily
with their Papillon Tap.
Dave: We're feeling pretty good about our build.
- I think they look identical. - They're identical twins.
- ( music playing ) - ( cheers and applause )
- All right. - Okay, Dave and Emily,
tell us about your build.
Well, this is Tap,
and this is our replica of Tap-- Dancer.
We had the advantage of a small dog
with the disadvantage of a very hairy dog,
very furry dog.
So strategy-wise, we wanted to build a Technic frame,
round off the sides with a lot of plate
to get the shape of the dog and fur.
For maximum floofiness.
Her maximum floofiness, of course.
This is definitely the weirdest thing we've ever done...
...in a show that's done a lot of weird stuff.
Well, I have to say, you did a great job
with that floofiness, as you call it.
New term that I learned today.
But I like that you actually tried
a very different building technique
where you're using regular plates
to create that explosion of life
and energy that this dog has which is so cute.
Overall, what a cute little dog.
- Jamie: Super cute. - Thank you.
- Dave and Emily, nice job, you two. Great job. - Okay, thank you!
Uh, turn that way. ( squealing )
Next team up is Liz and Erin
with their Puli named Maggie.
- ( music playing ) - ( cheers and applause )
Just a couple of moptops making their way down the dog walk.
Can you see, doggie?
Pull it in front.
Neither of these are real dogs. This is ridiculous.
What's happening?
Liz, Erin, tell us about your dog build.
Our technique was a little bit of everything.
We've got some sculpting in the face.
We've got some Technic framing
for the millions and millions of pieces of fur,
because she is a walking mop.
Okay, Brickmasters, what do you think?
Well, we did ask for texture in this challenge,
and you have certainly given us texture.
You picked a technique, and you ran with it,
and I do think it was the best technique you could use
to really capture that fur.
- Will: Great job, you two. - Both: Thank you.
The next team coming down the dog walk
is Ethan and Dom with longhair Dachshund Steel.
Going into judging, we feel pretty good.
Our dog looks great. We have a great head sculpt.
The body looks really nice.
We are hoping for Steel to steal the show.
( whispering ) Oh.
( barking )
( whispering ) Oh.
Will: Okay, this just in,
there has been some major drama backstage
at the Brickminster Dog Show.
- Oh, no. - Oh, my God. This is it.
- How long do they have? - Five minutes.
They have five minutes as per the rules.
What is going on over there? Their build fall apart?
Damn it.
Dom: Backstage, we're about to walk,
and our legs completely buckle and give out.
This is the worst thing that could happen to us
and it happened right before we could walk.
Let's just get it back together. Let's get the wheels back on it.
They've got less than one minute right now...
- Are they gonna make it? - ...until they completely are disqualified.
Oh, they're gonna carry it or...
- Oh, they're carrying it. - They're carrying it.
- Not walking. - Amy: Okay.
( scattered applause )
Whoo!
Ethan and Dom, are you guys okay?
Dom: Basically, as we were putting on the leash,
the legs buckled and we lost quite a bit of the siding.
So wheeling it isn't an option right now.
- I'm sorry. - Dom, just say it's shedding.
Tell us about your build.
Dom: The base inside is a Technic frame,
and then we used a lot of SNOT technique
to get a lot of studs on the side
so we could build that fur upon it.
Ethan: The head,
I tried to put as much detail in as possible.
That's why it has the tongue,
because Steel always has his tongue out.
Brickmasters, what do you think?
I think that you've done some really nice techniques
on capturing the roundedness of the dog.
I just am disappointed that the structural side that holds it together
didn't allow you to have the walk.
Such a shame, because it is such a gorgeous build that you should be proud of
despite the fact that not everything has gone your way in the final walk.
You should be proud of your sculpting skills for sure.
Dom: We really felt we had such a good build,
and for it to fall apart last minute?
Just-- ugh.
We could be in the bottom two, and that's a little scary.
All right, the next team coming down the dog walk
is Brendan and Greg with their Boston Terrier Mikey.
Greg: I think we have a really good dog,
so I really hope that they notice that face
and that they're just totally taken in by it.
Well, I think it's adorable.
Not that we're biased, but...
- ( music playing ) - ( cheers and applause )
Very smooth.
- Brendan and Greg's model stands out. - Oh, man. So good.
- The detail's really good. - Okay, so Brendan and Greg, tell us about your build.
Greg: The first thing we did was getting
a lot of very accurate measurements of Mikey,
and then I assigned basic geometric shapes
to the different sections of his body
to try to make him as lifelike as possible.
I really like how many different building techniques you've put in this model.
You have a balance of studs and some smooth spaces,
because actually Mikey has a fairly smooth coat
and you're capturing that quite nicely.
You've really taken the time on the eyes
to make sure that they have life,
and that pose brings a lot more realism to your build as well.
- Thank you. - Brendan and Greg, really, really great job, you guys.
Greg: The Brickmasters said really positive things about it.
I'm really hoping that this one is gonna be our first win.
Coming up next, Nick and Stacey.
- ( music playing ) - ( cheers and applause )
- Nick, Stacey, and a Corgi that's just Tokyo drifting. - Yeah.
The butt wiggles!
Liz: Oh, my God, the butt wiggles.
Nick and Stacey, tell us about your dog build.
All right, well, this is Pippin the Corgi.
We really wanted to capture a lot of the personality that Pippin has,
so we've got a little bit of drool coming out of the side of the mouth.
- And of course, we have that iconic butt wiggle. - Nick: Yeah.
Nick, you've wanted to build an electronic butt moving Lego Corgi for a long time.
Has this lived up to your expectations?
I would say I'm very, very happy with our butt movement, so...
Is that the first time you've ever said that?
Yes, it is. Yes, it is.
Is this one of the weirder things you've had to do?
Absolutely is, Will, and you just keep making it weirder.
I know. And I'm wearing a tuxedo, and people are filming it,
and we're taking it seriously.
Brickmasters, what do you think?
Amy: Yes.
I think one of the most distinctive features
of a Corgi is that face,
and you've captured that so well.
A few specks of that other brown in there
would just have made it feel a little bit more lifelike,
- but it's a very nice build. - Thank you.
- Nice job, you two. Congrats. - Good job.
Hey, come on, Pippin! Let's go.
All right, the next team coming down the dog walk
is Emily and Liam with their bulldog, Tank.
Here we go. Does this dog have legs?
- That's not good. - Just saw a piece come off.
Liam: Oh, poop.
( all gasping )
Oh, a leg came off.
- Did we lose a whole leg? - Yeah.
Emily: Just pick him up and walk him. It's okay.
- Liam: Oh, crap. - Oh, we lost the back leg, too.
- Okay. - Okay.
Emily: We're doing this.
Thank goodness we used the Golden Brick.
Tank does not hold up on that walk.
Emily and Liam, tell us about your build.
Emily: Well, this is Tank,
and is it fair to say this one tanked?
- Amy: Aww. - ( whines )
Liam: He is a huge dog,
and we decided to go as big as real life with this one.
And we ended up not having quite enough time
to finish out his legs, as you can see.
Brickmasters, what do you think?
I like that you actually are going with a classic brick built approach.
It has a beefiness too it.
Of course, the challenge was time.
- Oh, yeah. - And I'm so happy you played the Golden Brick,
because it's such a gorgeous build, it's a great sculpt,
it would've been such a shame if it failed on the technical side.
So you're safe from elimination today. That's the good news.
- ( Jamie laughs ) - Oh, no.
- One more limb just died. - There goes leg three.
- Will: Grab it, Tank. - Okay, let's go.
A bit of a disaster, but we're still in the competition
and I'm grateful for more time building with you.
Yeah.
Will: Next up is Austin and Justin.
- ( music playing ) - ( cheers and applause )
- Yeah. - Aww.
They look so similar.
All right, tell us about your strategy with your build.
The thing I think about most with Cavalier King Charles
is their floppy feet and really hairy tails,
as well as this cute face.
So we really tried to use multiple techniques
to show furry floppy feet and tails.
We also had a bold attempt at trying to make some motion with the legs
and realized that we weren't going to be able to do that in enough time.
So we had to pivot very late in the challenge.
I'm happy that you actually were able to redirect
early enough to still be able to deliver, I think, a very nice model.
I love that you saw right away the face and the ears
were so important to capturing the likeness of this dog.
You've even got the hooded details over the eyes.
The face for me is a real wow factor,
and just makes me go, "Aww!", and melt inside.
- Nice job, you two. - Thank you.
( muted chatter )
The next team to come down the dog walk
is Jon and Xavier with their French bulldog Murph.
As far as presentation, I think we really captured the essence of Murph.
But I'm really nervous if our dog's gonna be able
to make it down the dog walk.
- Take our time, take our time. - Yeah, yeah.
Take our time, take our time.
- No! - Oh, my God.
The next team to come down the dog walk is Jon and Xavier.
- Take our time, take our time. - Yeah, yeah.
Take our time.
- Oh, no! - ( gasping )
- Oh. - Oh!
Ugh. I should've spent more time reinforcing the head.
- Okay. Okay. - Okay. I'm just gonna carry him.
- ( groans ) - Oh, no.
All right, come on.
Dom: Seeing Jon and Xavier carry their dog,
that's really unfortunate,
but at the same time I'm thinking
if they can't walk their dog and we can't walk our dog,
we have a chance of surviving this.
- Ooh. - Xavier and Jon,
what was the strategy here with your build?
Our strategy was basically make a frame
with a lot of SNOT building outside.
And then Jonathan focused more on the contouring of the body.
We tried to match it one to one scale as much as we can.
I love that you had the mouth open,
because I think it brings so much character.
But I think maybe that's where some of your weaknesses happened
because the neck is a little bit thin and unsupported.
When Murph smiles, the head is actually almost as wide as the body.
Maybe the body either could've been smaller to match it,
or you've could've scaled up the head to get that giant smile that Murph has.
- Thank you. - Will: Well done.
Xavier: We captured the essence of Murph,
and I'm hoping that's gonna be enough for consideration
to keep it out of the bottom two.
- Crossing fingers. - Last but not least,
here comes Stephen and Stephen with Blaze the Dalmatian.
( music playing )
This is a dog that's already in a pose.
- We have not seen that yet. - Yep.
Lie down. Down.
- Crawl, crawl, crawl. - Will: Oh, look at that.
- Good job. - Good training, too.
- Lovely, lovely. - Let's go, buddy.
All right, Stephen and Stephen, you wanted this breed.
You threw yourself right at it, crashing into the table.
And we don't wanna embarrass you-- let's take another look.
( distorted shouting )
- It was worth it. It was worth it. - It's so good.
Tell us about your dog.
We decided to play off of the crawling feature,
as it is one of Blaze's tricks.
So there is some advantages
to being able to lower the center of gravity
because Blaze is such a big, tall dog with narrow legs.
You had a challenge, but the fact
that you were able to give it such a compelling position
was really fresh to see.
I can't say enough about the risk that you took
and it offers something that's very different for us to look at.
Overall, I think it's a great job.
Really realistic look.
- Thank you. - Great job. Congratulations.
Jamie: Good job.
Builders, we had a tail-wagging good time, but in the end,
only one team can earn the title Best In Lego Show.
And sadly, one team will be going home.
Brickmasters, now it's time for you to tell us
which dogs earned a place on these podiums.
We had three really stand-out teams this challenge.
And the first team I'd like to call forward is...
Stephen and Stephen.
- All right, Stephens! - Woohoo!
Good!
Careful, Crash.
The second team on the podium is...
- Brendan and Greg. - Yeah!
( muted chatter )
And who is the final team in the top three?
Our final top three team is...
- Austin and Justin. - ( cheering )
Jamie: Stephen and Stephen,
we were really impressed by the pose that you chose
and it really made for a compelling dog walk.
Brendan and Greg, this challenge was all about capturing
a realistic depiction of your doggy model,
and you captured all of those elements perfectly.
Austin and Justin, that face is just so compelling,
and those ears actually feel fluffy and textured.
All right, let's stop chasing our own tails here.
Who won the title Best In Lego Show?
The winner of the Brickminster Dog Show is...
Brendan and Greg.
Nice work, boys.
This is yours. Congratulations, you guys.
- Congrats! - ( cheering )
Brendan: We did it! We won one!
Yeah, this one is ours. I'm ecstatic about it.
- And we feel like we earned it. - Absolutely.
- Congratulations. - Amazing.
Okay, now we do need to send one team home.
Brickmaster Amy, please give us the names of the bottom two teams.
The first team I'll be calling out...
...is Ethan and Dom.
Yep.
And the second team in the bottom two this week is...
Jon and Xavier.
Liam: It's a good decision that we played the Golden Brick
- because we probably would've been in the bottom two... - Yeah.
...and quite possibly eliminated.
Ethan and Dom, you had such an adorable build,
but unfortunately you had a critical weak point in the legs,
and it didn't make it down the dog walk.
Jon and Xavier, for this competition, for you to succeed,
it not only had to look amazing as a character,
but it also had to be able to walk with you.
And the unfortunate thing is we actually didn't
get to see your dog move at all
because you had to stop it so soon
in order to hold on to that head.
We have to say good-bye to one team.
Brickmaster Amy, who's it gonna be?
Unfortunately, the team that will be leaving us this week is...
Jon and Xavier. Sorry, guys.
We've absolutely loved having you in this show.
You've had so many fun and quirky builds,
and you've grown so much in the competition.
We're really gonna miss you, but you should be very proud.
- Thank you. - We did our best.
It sucks that we're going home,
but we met, like, amazing people.
We love everyone here.
Will: Jon and Xavier,
sadly, your Lego journey has come to an end.
Please turn in your minifigs and say good-bye.
- Jon: Bye, everyone. - Oh, my God.
I think just back to myself as a kid
getting that first Lego set for my birthday.
Who would know that that would take me here?
It's almost like a dream come true.
- Thanks for having me! - I am just very happy
that you were able to join me on this journey.
- You've been amazing friend. - Thank you.
And you're amazing too, dude.
- Will: Next week... - Ahoy, builders.
Batten down the hatches and hold onto your hats.
You're building pirate ships!
We will be testing you on your storytelling abilities.
- There's another monkey build. - There is another monkey build.
Erin: What's supposed to look like a peppermint stripe
looks like kind of like a pizza delivery.
- Aw, man. - Will: Look out!
Your pirate armada is under attack! Take cover!
- Whoa! - ( cheering )
Whoa!
