ll stee "goasrs kicked it into high gear
with a team challenge.
You’ll be pairing up with another team
to build your very own NASCAR race car.
- Aah! - Oh, no! Brendan!
Canadians Dave and Emily
and firefighters Stephen and Stephen
earned pole position
after dazzling the Brickmasters
with their race car’s good looks.
But it wasn’t enough.
It was brothers Brendan and Greg
and influencers Nick and Stacey
who accelerated their way into first place.
And in a shocking U-turn,
all four teams went through to the semifinal.
So, tonight, the four remaining teams
are one challenge away from the finale,
and it’s the toughest challenge yet.
- All: Whoa! - Will: That’s right. Made it myself.
You’ll be building incredible fountains of your own
for an unbelievable water show.
Whose dreams of becoming a Lego Master
will be washed down the drain?
- ( gasps ) - The neck just buckled at the base.
And who will remain afloat...
- We’re doing good. - We got this. We got this.
...finding themselves one step closer
to $100,000 and the title of Lego Masters?
The semifinals start now.
Man on PA: Cueing LED.
Go. Five, four, three, two, one. Go, LED.
( gasping, laughing )
- Okay. - What we got going on here?
- ( overlapping chatter ) - What do you think that’s about?
- Look at this. - We are in the semifinals!
We have one more challenge to get to the finale.
We need to take everything that we’ve learned
and apply it to this build.
Greg: This is the last elimination.
It would be really awesome to be able to get to the finale.
My wife and I, we have a 15-month-old son at home.
She’s also expecting our second child.
I really want to win this for our families.
- Well, hello there, builders. - All: Hi, Will!
So, even though Season 3 of "Lego Masters" is almost over,
I figured it’s never too late to class up the joint.
- No. - And I think that you would all agree
that nothing screams class like a big, beautiful,
- classy fountain. - Whoa!
- Will: That’s right. - Okay.
Look at this.
No, no, no, no, no. No, no, no. That’s not right.
- Hang on. - ( all sighing )
Ah, there we go. Much better.
- Beautiful. - Yes.
This week, you’ll be building incredible fountains of your own
that come alive with movement
for an unbelievable water show.
- Oof. - Will: That’s right.
Just like electric turbines and the bidet in my hotel room,
you need to harness the power of water.
Dave: Who’s ever built a Lego water fountain?
The most combining Lego and water that I’ve ever done
is, like, making boats that either float or sink.
And because Lego doesn’t stick together as well when it’s wet,
this is an extra layer cake of stress today.
Brickmasters, how are they gonna pull this off
and punch their ticket to the finale?
Throughout the entire competition,
we’ve asked you to use power functions
to bring movement into your models.
But today, water is your movement,
which brings a whole new world of possibilities
to bring your models to life.
Think about water as a way to move objects.
Think about water as a way to create action.
And we want to see you be creative with your overall concepts.
So think about how you can use your water meaningfully to really tell a story.
Will: As you can see, we have provided splash pads
and a pump for you to include in your build.
We’re giving you 10 hours to make your biggest splash yet.
Okay.
Three of you are gonna move on to our big finale,
where one of you will win $100,000
and the title of Lego Master.
- So close. - Wow.
For one team, this will be your last build of the season.
Dave, you’re shaking your head a lot. How are you feeling?
- ( imitates explosion ) - This is crazy!
- Absolutely insane. - ( sniffles )
Emily? Are you okay?
No? What’s going on?
( sniffling )
I’m good.
What part gave you that reaction, do you think?
When you said, "This is the last build for one of us."
- Yeah. - It’s a lot.
- The eight of us up here, we’re family now. - Yeah.
And we’re gonna say good-bye to two members of our family.
And that’s terrifying.
We’re rooting for all of you guys to do really well,
but unfortunately at the end of this challenge,
somebody is gonna have to go home.
( Amy groans )
So give it everything you’ve got.
- Are you ready? - Yes.
- Both: Ready. - It goes without saying,
I guess, then, uh...
- Come on. - Get your brick on!
- Whoo! - Let’s go, let’s go, let’s go.
- Let’s get some ideas flowing here. - All right.
- Drawing time, drawing time. - Okay, what kind of movement
do you think we should incorporate?
Let’s just make a list of all the different ideas
when we think of water.
Do you want only one spout of water?
If you think about it, when you put something in water
and it’s going upstream, it will kick back and forth.
- It doesn’t just-- - Yeah.
- Because if this has a counter lever-- - It depends on how light
- that object is. - Of course.
The idea of making things out of Lego
that are propelled by water is a really exciting idea.
I am very sculpture oriented.
Brendan’s very technical in nature.
So we have to bring our A-game.
I think this is a heck of a lot to have to engineer.
It is a heck of a lot to have to engineer.
Nick: What about, like, a sandcastle?
I used to build sandcastles with my dad, actually,
- all the time as a kid. - Cool.
I do like the idea of a flamingo.
We could actually make it look good
- using the two colors of pink. - Yeah. Okay, let’s do that.
Flowers on either side of him?
Emily: Our fountain is gonna be a flamingo
standing in some flowers.
The water is gonna coming out of the flamingo’s mouth,
falling down, and propelling some bees.
The bees are after the flowers. The flamingo’s just trying to have a drink of water.
Exactly, and they’re annoying him.
- I’m the bees, you’re the flamingo. - Yeah.
We can do, like, Easter eggs. We could do a bunny.
- Let’s do it springtime. Yes. - Springtime. Done.
- Frogs and flowers in a rainstorm? - Yeah. That’ll work.
The frog is a symbol that we’ve used
a couple times in this competition,
both in our pirate ship challenge
and in the bull rider.
So we’re going back to the frog idea.
We are gonna have a rainbow over top
and a brightly covered marsh that he’s living in
and hopping through on our sideways paddle wheel.
Now we just gotta make sure this concept works.
As firefighters, we’re used to using pumps
to direct water where we need it.
But it’s been a long time since I’ve used Lego with water.
It hasn’t been since I was a kid when I used Lego as bath toys.
- Guys. - How are you, Will?
How are you guys feeling about this challenge?
I think it’s actually right in our wheelhouse.
It’s literally part of your DNA.
- I would say so, yes. - It’s definitely part of our job.
Teach me something about water that I don’t know.
Okay, if you want to get someone really wet,
add a drop of soap to the water to break up the surface tension,
and then they’ll get soaked.
- The concept’s called wet water. - No way.
I am going to dominate water fights with my kids.
- Absolutely. - Are you feeling the pressure
about getting this ticket to the finale?
Yes, absolutely, we’re feeling the pressure.
To get to the finale would be an absolute dream.
Lego is more than just a passing interest for me.
It’s a passion. It’s been with me for almost my entire life.
This is where I do my creating.
Particular fondness for pirate ships and classic space.
This is real now. We need to persevere through this one.
- How’s that look? - Yeah, just as long as it moves freely.
So, if we do a horse-- a rearing horse, like...
( neighs ) Like that.
That’s one of those that’s gonna take a lot
of thought and testing and calibration.
Okay, do we need to step back on this whole idea, then?
- I’m gonna go get some of the Technic that I need. - For sure, yeah.
All right, quick, tell me everything about Nick.
Okay, you want all the inside scoop?
Yeah, yeah. I want the inside scoop on Nick.
- He’s just the worst! - He’s the worst?
- Yeah. - He is this season’s villain.
- Okay. - And we’re gonna make sure that he never--
- Hey, Nick! - Hi!
- Hi. - How’s it going?
- How are you? - Am I interrupting something?
- No, no, no, no, no. - You sure?
- Yeah, totally sure. - Anyway, tell me about your build.
We are building a sandcastle, and we’re gonna have all these
cute little crab creatures that have taken over.
Nick: These crabs have taken over the sandcastle,
but the big scary ocean is sending waves towards their castle.
So they’re gonna be waiving a flag in surrender to the ocean
in hopes that the waves won’t crash their whole castle down.
We’re gonna have a moat around the bottom of our castle,
and there’s also water rushing over the top,
and it’s a big wave threatening to take the sandcastle down.
Did you build a lot of sandcastles growing up?
I built so many sandcastles growing up with my dad.
He would, like, sketch out our sandcastles that we were gonna build.
- No way. - We would build pretty epic sandcastles.
We’re in the final four. Who do you think’s your biggest competition here today?
I don’t know. That’s tough. I think maybe the Stephens?
- Nick: Yep, the Stephens. - Will: The Stephens?
Want to try and psych ’em out?
- Here’s what you’re gonna do. - Okay.
You go, "Hey, Stephen." Ask one of them to come over.
And then get them to kind of talk about their build.
And when they mention what they’re doing, you just go...
( snorts ) "Are you serious? Are you actually doing that?"
And then they go, "Yeah," and you go like, "Okay. No, it sounds good."
- And then kind of look at each other a little bit. - Oh, that’s so mean!
- I don’t think I could do that. - Try. You’re gonna try.
Hey, Stephen and Stephen, can you guys come over here for a sec real quick?
- Both of them? - Oh, no. I’m gonna be so bad at this.
We got Stephen and Stephen, AKA Crash, over here.
- What can we do for ya? - What are you guys doing over there?
- A frog with lilypads. - A frog?
- Okay. - That’s the last time I help you guys.
- ( sighs ) - By the way...
- Now-- no, I feel so bad! - ...that was actually legit--
- Will: No, no! Oh, she’s-- - No, I was kidding! I was kidding!
It’s a great idea! I’m sorry!
- Will: You’re the worst! - Will put us up to it!
- What did they do to you? - They made me be mean.
- What did Will do to you? - Dave, put your shirt down! You’re not part of the--
- What are you doing? - Oh, my God.
- I’m sorry, Will. I let you down. - ( sighs )
So, Brickmasters, these are the four best remaining teams that we have.
And they are being tasked with completing our toughest, most sophisticated challenge.
- Yes. - What do you think the pitfalls are?
We’re asking for so much in this challenge.
We’re asking for movement, we’re asking you to work with water,
and we’re asking for a great story.
For something like that, you have to have a concept early.
Brendan and Greg, this is do or die time,
and they haven’t landed on a concept yet.
What if you had a frog that was being turned by a waterwheel at the base?
We’re having a hard time coming up with an idea.
It’s pretty concerning, because we’re already behind
and it’s just getting worse at this point.
- Okay, what if we did something-- - Here’s another thought.
We could do something that’s more like a dynamic machine.
We have lots of little moving features.
I don’t think-- that doesn’t seem fountain-y at all, though.
It’s supposed to be a fountain at the end.
We only have to make it through one more challenge
to get to the finale, so the pressure is on.
Maybe we make it, like, a flower bouquet
and the flowers open and close.
Or, like, a dynamic, like, plants on a vine.
( sighs ) I don’t know.
( sighs )
I’ll be back in a sec.

We could do something where if you have a wheel
in the back that was, like, coming around--
or maybe even if you had, like, a belt,
something that could be driven by a belt.
I don’t know if that would work.
What we’re supposed to build
is essentially a story
that is brought to life by water movement.
But we’re having a hard time coming up with an idea.
What if the fountain was a big windmill,
like the ones they have in Holland,
and we make the wheels of the windmill turn?
You can get height, you can get structure, you can get present.
It’ll be a fun story. It’ll be playful.
So we’re building a Holland-style windmill
with tulips that grow out of the ground from the rainfall.
The blades will turn from the movement of the water,
and then fill our bucket mechanism
for that to raise and lower the tulips
and also then spill and reset.
You think we can make this work?
I think it might be rough. Might be down to the wire.
It does not feel great to be slow off the block with our planning,
so we are definitely feeling behind
and feeling a bit rushed at this point.
Brickmasters, talk to me about what we’re doing here in this semifinal.
- Mm! - Yeah, this episode’s all about water,
because we’re asking them to use water to create movement
and really make their models come to life.
Amy: And it’s probably something our teams have never
worked with before in their Lego builds.
This challenge can feel like a lot of pressure,
but you can have so much fun if you really embrace
the playfulness of water.
It doesn’t have to be complicated to be impressive.
This is a very advanced build.
We could not do this earlier on in the season
because we have to kind of reserve it for the most advanced teams.
Jamie: But it’s a great challenge to get into the final with,
because we’re really pulling together the creativity,
the storytelling, and the technical ability.
Amy: They all want to get into that finale.
These teams have got to be nervous right now
knowing that this could be their last build.
Okay, I’m gonna test this before I plate over it--
where the circle’s gonna be.
Yeah, a little water test would probably be a great idea.
- Stephen and Stephen. - Hello, Brickmasters.
Congratulations. You’re in the semifinals.
- Yes. - Thank you.
How are you channeling that energy?
- Well, we’re gonna have a sideways water wheel. - Yes.
And I’ll create a current with the hose coming in through it.
- Wow. - Okay.
Is there a story or a theme that unites all of this?
- We’re gonna go back to the frog. - Oh.
- It’s worked for us in the past. - Yeah.
So, we’re trying to work out a frog
trying to bounce around and get to some shelter.
Just remember, we’re looking for original.
We’re looking for new things every time,
So if you include the frog, which is fine,
- make sure you’re creating a new story. - Absolutely.
- I’m excited to see how it comes together. - Thanks, guys.
I think we need to consider the Brickmasters’ advice.
Okay.
This is the flamingo body so far, okay?
That’s what size the body’s gonna be so far.
- I think it should be a little bigger. - Which direction?
- All of the directions. - Will: Dave and Emily.
- Emily: Hey! - Dave: Will and Will.
- Hi, guys. - Both: Hi.
You were emotional at the beginning of this challenge.
- What was making you so emotional? - Oh, just the last few weeks,
we said good-bye to some really good friends
that we’ve made, and it’s been emotional.
Has it been hard being away from home, David?
- Yeah, it really has. - Yeah.
I really like my kids, so I’ve been missing them.
- Two kids? - Two kids. My boys are two years old.
- You have twins. - Twins.
Woman: Can you smile?
David: I haven’t been away from my wife this long.
Never been away from my kids.
Like, my kids are the most hilarious
and delightful little guys. You bet I miss them.
But we are so close to winning that $100,000.
Like, I can almost just reach out and grab it.
Emily: We’ve been here this long. We want to make it to the end.
- It seems gigantic now. - That’s a good size!
- I love it! - Okay.
Nick: I feel like this water
just feels like such a weird variable.
I’m like, would it be safer to just not have the moat have function?
The one that goes around the base of the castle?
Definitely been a big fan of "Lego Masters" from right off the bat.
So for season one, I actually challenged myself
to do all the challenges on stream.
So, that was pretty intense, but this is definitely
the most difficult challenge that we’ve ever seen.
And to think that the title of Lego Masters is one challenge away
really adds a lot of pressure.
Stacey: Should we have a little crab on a boat
that’s kind of moving around?
I don’t know how feasible it would be to build a boat.
I just don’t necessarily want to have something moving within it.
- Um... - Okay, Nick?
What? I’m just letting you know.
The thing is, Nick, you’re ix-naying so many plans
right away instead of just building.
- Okay. - Do you know what I mean?
So if you keep-- you’re gonna find an issue with everything.
Yeah, you’re right. Let me just build and we’ll get stuff done.
Stacey: I’ve got a lot of confidence in Nick. We can do this.
- We can do this. - Maybe.
Maybe? No! No maybe! I don’t want a maybe.
Absolutely, we can do this.
We have to believe in ourselves.
- Hello, hello. - Hi, Brickmasters!
- Nick and Stacey! - Hello.
We’re going to the beach today, I guess, huh?
- Yeah! - We are going to the beach.
We’re gonna be building a sandcastle
that these cute little crab characters have taken over.
But, unfortunately, one big wave is shooting a lot of water over their castle.
I think that dynamic wave sounds fantastic.
Do you have any thoughts on how you’re gonna actually
spread out water to come over big enough for our wave?
That’s the one part that I still feel like I don’t fully see just yet,
how we’re gonna do the wave with the water.
This is one that-- don’t get caught up in the mechanics.
It could be relatively simple and still have a big impact.
- For sure. We got it. - All right.
- Thank you! - Okay.
For now, I think then what we focus on--
we have this really great moat.
If worse comes to worse, we just have no big, giant wave splashing.
Yeah.
Emily: Ah!
David: I have to rebuild this leg.
There has to be something connecting this to the outside.
( cooing )
All right, I’m gonna make a wish here.
I wish I wasn’t so damn handsome.
- Yeah, me, too. - But I know that’s imp--
- Hey, Emily, there you are. - Hey!
- Hi. - I’m just here at the wishing well...
- Ooh. - ...making wishes.
- You want to make a wish? - Sure.
Yeah, go ahead and you can toss it in there. Don’t make it about me.
- What’d you wish? - I wished that we win the competition.
And then what are you gonna do with all that money?
- Botox. - God, I love your honesty.
Thank you!
Oh, what the freak?
You’re such a flipping idiot, Greg.
I won’t lie, I also hate how long this base is taking.
It’s just so much bigger than I was originally picturing.
- Hey, Nick? - Yeah, hi.
- Dude, come here. - Sure, what’s going on?
I’m just stealing people’s wishes away.
- Oh, wow, that’s-- - Making them come untrue.
- Oh, man. - Can you hear that?
It’s the sound of Emily aging naturally.
Okay, you know how we were told we gotta get a story
that’s a little more original?
What if those springtime animals were ducks?
Yeah.
This competition is all about pushing ourselves to try new things,
and so we decide to pivot away from the frog idea.
So we’re going with ducks.
We’re going to create a park scene
with a bunch of ducks swimming in a pond
and a rainbow covering our archway,
with an old woman in the back feeding the ducks.
If we can pull this off, I think we have a legitimate shot,
but there’s a lot to engineer between now and then.
We are almost halfway through this build
and tensions are running high.
I almost don’t want to make them even more nervous
by calling out a time call, you know?
- Five hours left! - Jeez!
- Ah! Oh, my gosh. - Aah!
- Okay, you did it. - I said almost!
I said almost. Okay, guys,
you know what it’s time for.
And I’m yelling this out
’cause I want the graphics department to get ready for...
"Lego Masters" Smack Talk!
Announcer: Smack Talk!
We want to hear some smack talk
out of you guys from team to team.
Dave, I see you’re fired up. You go first.
Just smack talk somebody, go!
- Go to hell, Greg! - Will: No.
- No, no, no. - That was harsh.
No, no. Hang on. Dave, this isn’t like--
It’s not tell somebody to go to hell.
It’s about the build.
( snorts )
Crash, we got any smack talk over there?
Hey, Nick, your castle looks boring!
- All: Oh! - That’s smack talk.
I’m sorry. Sorry.
No, you can’t say sorry!
I’m Canadian! It’s what I do!
I know! But you can’t be sorry.
Brendan, do you have any smack talk down there?
Hey, firefighters, what you building over there?
It’s just a circle laying on the ground. What’s it gonna do, eh?
- All: Oh! - ( overlapping chatter )
What do you have to say to that?
- S-sure? - Ha. "Sure."
- Just "sure"? - Will: Golly!
What the heck?
You guys are ruining the show
because there’s no smack talk.
Well, we’re gonna have a nice big fist fight right after the break.

This is the last time before the finale that we’re gonna stand up here
and quietly talk about the builders behind their backs.
- I know! - Let’s savor this moment.
( sighing )
Okay, now it’s time for the good stuff.
- Amy: Okay. - Jamie: Yeah?
Who’s gonna win this thing?
This is a really tough challenge because for the first time ever,
we’re asking our builders to work with water.
Yeah, you can see how that little bit of a change
as really thrown off some of our strong teams here.
Will: I saw you looking over at Brendan and Greg.
Jamie: Yeah, I’m looking over there.
They are really strong technical builders.
Yeah, and I think Brendan and Greg’s has a lot
of pretty complicated motion.
I mean, they’re talking about flowers popping up
out of their build as a little surprise,
but it is taking them a long time
to really work out how to build these mechanisms.
It’s a big problem because they’re not putting
as much effort into the detailing.
Will: We got Dave and Emily, who are furiously
trying to get their flamingo to work.
I think they’re having stability issues as well,
because we’ve seen the legs disconnect quite regularly.
It just keeps falling apart on me.
Amy: I think of all the teams,
Stephen and Stephen were the most relaxed
going into this challenge because they felt comfortable with the element of water.
It’s got all the ingredients to be a great build,
but, again, it’s just bringing it all together.
Nick and Stacey, this is the most confident
I’ve seen them at this stage of a challenge.
Amy: I totally agree. I think it’s a really fun concept.
But we’re talking about a wave coming over the back.
Haven’t seen a wave yet, so I’m wondering have they changed their minds?
- Have they run out of time? - If you manage to not be sent home today,
you make it into the finale.
Whose concept is gonna prove to be successful
and who’s gonna be left out--
It all comes down to turning the water on, that final moment.
And until then, we can’t really tell whose is the best.
- It’s gonna be fun to see. - Can’t wait.
In today’s challenge, our builders are working with water.
But actually, one of the biggest challenges
people have when they’re building with Lego bricks
is how to create lifelike water.
- I built this lovely little pool scene here... - Super cute.
...but it doesn’t have any water.
All you need to do is add a pile of transparent bricks,
fill it up, and you get a really dynamic water scene.
But there’s another trick here.
I built a little beach towel here
where you can see some different colors.
And those colors can also be placed under transparent tiles.
So, if you transition from a light color to a dark color,
it looks like your water’s getting even deeper.
That is a great tip, Jamie.
- I can’t wait to build more water scenes. - Yeah, me, too.
Can you see this for a second?
If you aim the water right here...
- Right. Yeah. - See what I’m saying?
Are you just-- are you actually listening
or are you just saying "Yeah"?
Can we just build it on the frigging platform,
like, even if we pull the platform over here?
- No, no, no. Just wait, just wait. - ( growls )
Something like this? How are we gonna make it not look like
it’s just a stream of water being shot out from the middle of a wave?
The Brickmasters were unsure of how we were gonna sell this idea
of the wave coming over the top of the build.
And now that we’re testing it out with the water,
it’s really hard to have the water distribute and look natural.
It’s really just gonna be a little hose of water shooting out,
so I think we’re gonna have to set that idea aside.
We can’t just have a trickle of water that’s supposed
- to be an ocean wave. - I think...
With the way the Brickmasters talked about this challenge
and given how unpredictable this water is,
I think we just gotta keep it simple.
- Is that okay, Stacey? - Let’s see.
Is that kind of what we were looking for?
Stacey: I think so. I think that’s looking cute.
We are coming up on one hour left.
In 60 minutes, we’ll know who’s moving on to the finale.
One hour left! One hour!
- Oh, my gosh. - Nick, we can do this.
Brendan: That hose is gonna need to be higher.
- It’s gonna sit roughly-- - What the--
- Wait for it. Here? - Bro, that’s not gonna work.
It’ll hit the blades coming out of there.
Brendan and Greg, this is like the first time legit
that I feel like I’ve seen you guys stressed.
That’s true. Yeah, that’s fair.
Are you worried that you’re gonna get this done in time?
- Yes. - Yes, I certainly have been worried.
- You would like to have some more time? - We would love that.
- More time would be nice. - Okay. Let me see.
I’ll talk to somebody.
I don’t really have a lot of pull around here.
- That’s fair. - You think I’d have more.
- I would. - Yeah, I would think that.
I know. I would, too.
All right, guys, you don’t have a lot of time. Get to it.
Thanks, Will. Appreciate you.
If I can know where I need to start aiming that water
to get in the bucket, that would be pretty great.
I’m sorry neither of us thought about it.
- We’re doing good. We’re doing good. - We got this. We got this.
- We’ve got a lot of our stuff done. - Yeah.
Our crabs are all ready to go somewhere.
- Well, cutting the hose. - Cutting hose.
- Hose is cut. - Hose is cut.
Nothing, eh? Is it dripping down the neck?
Emily: No, it’s not coming. There’s no water.
Where does the thing come out?
We’re feeling pretty frustrated with the logistics
of making the water functions work in this challenge.
The hose is a little tight fitting through the flamingo’s neck.
- Dave: Yeah. - So it won’t quite come out his mouth.
It’ll just sit right below at the end of his neck.
- Let me try. - If you can’t, you can’t.
Emily: Okay, well, I tried for, like, a second, so calm down.
We can’t figure out the logistics of it.
We’re running out of time.
I don’t know how the heck
we’re supposed to do this.
Like, holy cow.
- ( gasps ) - Emily: What?
- Dave: Come here and look. - Emily: Okay. Calm down.
What?
The whole thing is swinging off.
The neck just buckled at the base.
No, this whole body pitched forward.
I watched it. It was this right here.
This pitched forward, too, and the legs swung.
It’s gonna fall off and explode right now.

Stacey: Oh, my God, you guys, it’s so--
- It’s gonna fall off and explode right now. - Just take a deep breath.
Having to work the water function, it’s getting in our head.
We’re having a struggle with it.
Nothing came out anywhere in here.
No, no. I know.
I’m really nervous because we’re running out of time.
And if the functions don’t work, you might go home.
I don’t want to go home now
when the finals are within reach.
It needs to be so that the hose comes right here
so if you look in the flamingo’s mouth, you see hose.
- Okay. - I thought that you understood that part.
Yeah, I-- I did.
Stacey: We’ve gotta get that function working, Nick.
I’m working on it. I’m working on it.
Duckie no spinny. What’s going on?
Oh, he got stuck. This did work before, right?
Well, yes. Let me let some of the water drain.
Now or never, bud. We got five minutes.
We need to get the tulips and the bucket balanced.
So this is a bit of a head scratcher
because we had planned for the water to fill the bucket,
the bucket waters the ground, and the tulips grow.
Are they pushing it back up? They aren’t?
- No. - It’s not working out,
so now we’re definitely having to stop
and step back and think,
"Okay, how can we solve this problem?"
- Come on. - It’s just not quite working,
and there’s very little time to do anything about it.
How the heck did I do this?
It doesn’t matter. Move on, move on, move on.
Okay, is your tip bucket ready to go?
Brendan: I mean, it’ll tip.
It’s not gonna make the tulips go up and down.
That’s fine, that’s fine, that’s fine.
Will: One minute left!
- Aah! - This is it, people!
- Get your water flowing. - Try not to break things off,
- like, in the last 30 seconds here, David. - Yeah.
Take a look around. Are we missing anything?
- That’s what I’m looking. - Okay.
- ( whispering ) - Here’s one. Got it.
- You just broke it. - I got it.
- "You just broke it"? - Uh-oh.
I heard a, "You just broke it."
Judges: Ten, nine, eight, seven,
six, five, four,
- three, two, one. - Yeah!
Time’s up! Bricks down.
- All right! - Whoo!
- Is our crab moving okay? - Nick: Yeah, he’s slow. He’s just really slow.
- We did, guys! - Will: You did it!
Oh, my God. Oh, my God.
Emily: The water isn’t as organized as I wanted it to be.
I wanted a clean stream.
It’s kind of gargling out the flamingo’s mouth.
I’m hoping that the Brickmasters
just like our sculpture and like our color.
- Are the tulips gonna spin in circles? No? - Whoa.
- What-- what’s wrong? - It doesn’t work.
- What happened? - Does the bucket tip?
Not reliably.
Brendan: We are feeling defeated.
We haven’t gotten the kinks worked out.
We haven’t put that polishing touch on our model.
This has been a tough and frustrating challenge for us more than a lot of them.
But as long as we can get this bucket working,
we will have two water features,
so hopefully we can still be competitive in judging.
- Don’t touch it. - I won’t.
- I’m not gonna breathe on it. - Don’t even breathe on it.
- I won’t breathe on it. - Going into judging,
we’re very confident in our build.
But there’s so much talent in the room.
- That is so clever. - It’s really well done.
We’ve made it so far.
We desperately want to make it that one step further.
We want to be in the finale.
Stephen, Stephen, tell us about your fountain.
So this is Duckies After The Rain,
and our inspiration was just trying to get a pop of color in there.
So we wanted to make it bright and vibrant.
And what’s more bright and vibrant
than a little old lady sitting outside a pond feeding ducks
as they’re swimming around in the little pond that they’ve got set up there.
And the rainbow.
Oh, yeah, and we built a rainbow
because it’s right after the rain.
So there’s two water movements in our build.
When we first started conceptualizing this,
we instantly wanted to do a horizontal paddle wheel.
And the real trick was to capture the current,
which created an input on one side
and an out flow on the other
so that it did have that dynamic circular movement.
And also, it functions as a rain effect.
The second movement, I created a little tiny paddle wheel
with a gear motion that controls the sun, and the sun spins.
I think right away I could see you guys were very comfortable
working with water in this challenge.
But I did push you to bring a bit of a different side
than we’ve seen in some of your other builds,
and I think you did a fantastic job.
Thank you.
Amy: It is so adorable
with these cute little ducks
going round in a circle following the mama duck.
I think my favorite part is the character you’ve built in the back.
You’ve even got the little bag of breadcrumbs in her hand,
really tying that whole story together.
I like the secondary touch of just having that sun
that’s a little bit more active.
It adds a little bit of energy,
and I think it actually works really well.
This is really controlled water usage.
It makes for a really great scene.
- Great job, you guys. - Thank you.
- Amy: It’s really well done. - ( applause )
You guys did great.
It would be such an incredible honor
to make it to the finals of "Lego Masters."
And to be able to bring back
a trophy to our fire station
would be just simply amazing.
- Brendan and Greg. - Hi.
Tell us about your fountain, and can you turn it on?
You might get a little wet right there, Will.
Amy: It’s spinning. That’s nice.
- Jamie: Yeah, nice. - Will: Yep.
Brendan: Yeah, it’s being a little bit unreliable.
- Oh! - Jamie: All right.
Ooh! It worked.
Welcome to Tulips In The Spring.
A nice summer thunderstorm is dumping water.
That groundwater, you can then retrieve from the spigot
to fill and dump your bucket to help the tulips grow.
There’s two water functions.
The first one is water that comes from the roof of the windmill
to actually make the windmill blades turn.
And then the other water function comes out of the spigot,
fills the bucket, and then the bucket dumps and returns to normal.
There was a time when that bucket spilling was gonna make those flowers come up?
Greg: Correct.
Yeah, unfortunately, there’s a little bit too much friction,
so that doesn’t work reliably at this point.
Yeah, you definitely had some high ambition with your movement on this one,
and I am disappointed that the flowers aren’t able to come up
because otherwise you’ve gone for a fairly flat approach on your build,
a lot of flat surfaces and a lot of studs.
But one thing that you have done that’s quite effective
is your second function of just having the wind blade spinning,
because that’s actually a big part of your model.
And so, well done on getting that to work.
I mean, Brendan and Greg, you went big with this build,
and it certainly has an impact in the room
from the scale you’ve gone for.
I also think the bucket effect is very cute,
and I love the tulips,
so it really makes me want for them to pop up
because they bring this beautiful level of detail and color to the build
that I think you just ran out of time elsewhere to add.
And for me, maybe on the blades
would’ve been the one place that I would’ve put
a little bit more focus and attention on the details.
But overall, well done for trying something that wasn’t easy.
Will: This is a tough challenge for the semifinal,
and you guys found that out the hard way.
- Yeah. - Great job, you guys.
Jamie: Thank you.
Brendan: Honestly, I feel terrible.
It’s very clear we did not deliver what we intended.
We came here to win this competition.
We think we have what it takes to win this competition.
Greg: We have been fighting tooth and nail
to try to make it to the finale,
and we really don’t want to go home at this point.

Nick and Stacey, talk to us about your fountain build.
Our fountain build is called Crabbin’ Around.
Stacey: What’s better than living on the beach?
Living in a castle on the beach.
These crabs are the luckiest decapod crustaceans in the world
because they get to live in the most beautiful home--
Lego Beach Sandcastle.
There’s just one catch.
The tide is coming in,
and the crabs are waving a white flag
to surrender to the sea
in hopes that the tide recedes.
So we have two main functions,
in that we have pinwheel inspired water wheel
that moves the crab side to side,
so he’s kind of doing a little bit of a crab walk.
And then up at the top here, we have a fountain shooting out
which spins another wheel, and that actually causes
the white flag to wave in surrender.
What a great castle that you’ve built.
Those negative spaces, all of those shadow lines,
all of these different grooves,
they really do speak to that sandcastle feel.
It’s not perfectly clean, flat, shiny castle.
This is made of sand.
Nick and Stacey, I feel like this is the kind of build
I’ve been searching for you guys to make.
It tells a story, it’s complete,
and it’s got all of those little polishing details
in there, too, that we’re really looking for.
I think it is quite risky going for a tan castle.
It can mean that your build could end up quite boring or even could get lost.
But I think all the colorful characters that you have
around it really bring life to your build.
- Really well done. Great execution. - Awesome. Thank you.
- Well done. - Good job.
Give me a hug. Yay!
I’m so proud of what we accomplished.
This build reminds me of my childhood.
It brings back so many memories. I absolutely love it.
Nick: We definitely put our hearts and soul into this build.
But, I mean, this is "Lego Masters."
We’re in the final-- or the semifinals,
and you just never know what’s gonna be the deciding factor.
- Will: Okay, Dave, Emily. - Hi.
Tell us about your fountain.
So our fountain is called Flamingo With The Flow.
Dave: This fountain tells the story of Flamingo Joe,
who was out for a walk smelling the flowers.
But as he smelled the flowers, he stirred up some bees.
Bees? Bees?
- Yes. - Bees?
- You mean, "buzz"? - Zzz.
Okay, and those bees are annoying him,
and so he’s spitting out all the water he was drinking.
And as he spits that water out,
he irritates those bees even more,
and they start swarming around
in sort of a circle of annoying each other.
- ( clattering ) - Amy: Oh!
- Will: Oh, boy. - Amy: Oh, no.
Did we lose a leg?
Dave: Why does that leg wait till now to break off?
It was standing up so good,
and then right when Amy and Jamie are here,
the water goes on, leg falls off.
That could be a major mistake. This isn’t good.
All right, Brickmasters, what do you think? Quickly.
Before anything else falls off!
I mean, what an eye-catching build.
It’s got that bright pink color,
but then you’ve really paid attention to the wings.
And the way you’ve sculpted it at the edge,
it really feels like feathers.
And then these bees are super cute
as they’re flying around,
and they’re going so fast actually,
that they do look kind of annoying.
I think for me, what I’m a little bit struggling with
is that some of water feels more deliberate.
I think a little bit more time working out
how to control the water would’ve given more of an overall wow effect.
As beautiful as that bird is,
I do find the stalks on either side quite distracting.
I just wish they could’ve been hidden a bit more,
because your flowers are so delicate.
But I think it’s a really dynamic and fresh summer scene that just looks really fun.
- Thank you. - Will: Thank you, guys.
Emily: I’m really nervous about being in the bottom
because the water’s not coming out at all how I wanted it to,
- and we are disappointed. - This close to the finals,
it would suck so much to go home.
This could be it.
Before the Brickmasters tell us
who is moving on to the finale,
I just want to congratulate you all
for making it here today,
and I can’t even tell you how impressive as builders you are.
So great job, you guys.
Now, Brickmasters, you saw four incredible
water powered fountains this week.
Please give me the name of the team that impressed you the most
and is the first team to move on to the finale.
The winner of this challenge
and our first team to go into the final is...
Nick and Stacey.
- I can’t believe we did it! - We’re going to the finals!
Will: Congratulations, Nick and Stacey, you did it.
You’re moving on to the finale.
Both: Thank you so much.
We’re going to the finale!
- I am so excited right now. - It’s incredible.
I feel like over the last few weeks, we’ve certainly struggled,
but it feels like we’ve really started
to find our groove again and I couldn’t be prouder.
Yeah, you guys kind of went from underdog to wonder dog.
- A little bit. - Yeah.
Now, Brickmasters, who’s next?
The next team that will be moving forward to the finale is...
- Stephen and Stephen. - Dude.
- Great job, guys. - Well done.
- Oh, man. - What the hell just happened?
Did you see those builders in there?
Do you have any clue how talented that room is?
This is unreal to be in the finale. It means the world.
Congratulations. Well done.
Both: Thank you.
There’s one spot left.
Brickmasters, which team is moving on to the finale?
This is literally it. It’s the last elimination.
If you make it past this, you get to build for the finale.
If you don’t, then it’s like
you died at mile 99 of a 100 mile march,
and so we really don’t want to go home at this point.
The final team that will be
going to the finale is...

Dave and Emily.
( applause )
( laughing )
- Congrats. - We’re in the final!
- Like, what? - Happy, excited, delighted.
It’s a lot of emotions to process.
( laughs )
- You guys rib each other a lot. - We do.
- But you love each other a lot. - A lot.
Brendan and Greg, you two are incredible builders,
and you came together as brothers to build as well,
and that really is in the spirit of Lego.
Please promise me that you’ll keep on building together
when you go back home as well.
I’m not usually an emotional guy.
Doesn’t happen too often.
You know, they say that metal is forged under heat and pressure.
And so we’ve definitely gotten some heat and pressure throughout the competition,
and we’ll just be stronger because of it.
I think we spent more quality time together than we have in a long time.
Yeah, a lot of years.
- Hey, whatever we do, we do it together. - Thanks, bud.
- You guys are such incredible builders. - Thanks.
But sadly, your "Lego Masters" journey has come to an end.
Please turn in your minifigs and say good-bye.
- ( muted chatter ) - Stephen: Hey.
- Thanks, man. - No, no, no.
- I love you. - So, we’re disappointed to be going home.
I mean, especially so close to the finale.
It has been really neat
to get to spend all this time with Brendan
that we would otherwise have not gotten
- in the course of our normal lives. - Yeah.
Greg: Lego is the thing that we have a common bond over,
and I’m excited that down the road
I’ll get to build with my son.
And here we are.
The winners of "Lego Masters" season three
are here in this room. Who will it be?
Emily: It feels amazing going into the finale.
We’re that much closer to the "Lego Masters" trophy.
It’s so surreal.
- Ooh! - Ooh.
Will: One of you will earn
a $100,000 grand prize
and the title of Lego Masters.
This is quite the comeback that we have had.
- I’m so proud of us. - Nick: I’m ecstatic.
Lego has been literally the biggest thing in my life
for as long as I can remember.
And to be here? It’s unreal.
Stephen: This is crazy.
We are one challenge away from potentially
being crowned Lego Masters.
Ah! Wow, that didn’t sink in until you just said that.
From a competition standpoint, it’s going to be fierce,
but I think we’re proving ourselves to be worthy.
Who’s it gonna be?
We’ll find out next time on the "Lego Masters" finale.
Now go on and hit the bricks.
- ( chattering ) - ( squealing )
( music playing )
Will: Next on "Lego Masters"...
Welcome to the "Lego Masters" season three grand finale.
Stacey: We are in "Lego Masters" finale!
- It’s so exciting. - Will: We want to see
the best thing you’ve ever assembled.
One team will be season three’s Lego Masters,
and leave here with $100,000 and the "Lego Masters" trophy.
The winner of season three of "Lego Masters" is...
