02x07 - Bricking Wind

[bunniefuu]

- Will: Last week...
- Go!

"Iego masters" got fast
and furious.

Caleb and Jacob crashed
and burned.

- No!
- What?

Will: Mark and Steven's
muscle car lacked muscle.

I think we may have the
weakest car here.

Will: While Dave and Richard
demolished the competition.

That is the winner!

Dave: Our strategy
worked perfectly.

It was able to take hits and
it looked good doing it.

Will: In the end, the wheels
came off for Susan and Jen...

Oh!

Will: ...And the Utah moms
were sent home.

You guys should be really
proud of the journey.

- We will never forget this.
- Jen: Never.

Will: Tonight, get ready
to be blown away.

We're gonna turn up the
wind to 60 miles per hour.

- What?
- Oh, my gosh.

Zack: Lego bricks are not
meant to withstand



Will: Say hello
to my little fan.

Can Mark and Steven hang
on to their golden brick?

What team will be gone with
the wind?

That's gonna fall off.

Will: This won't be a
breeze.



Will: It's gonna be a blast.

And it all starts now.

Man: Here we go.

In five, four, three...

[whirring]

[shouting]

Iauren: We just walk inside

and we're getting thrown about...
This massive fan.

And I'm just thinking,
"what is about to happen?"

Will: Well, hello, builders.

What an entrance, huh?

I felt like I was in a music
video with 14 beyoncés

walking towards me
in slow motion.

So, why the fan?

Well, because we're taking
lego and turning it

into an all-weather sport with
a brand new challenge

called bricking wind.

Yes, good.
Thank you for laughing.

This week, your lego building
powers will go head to head

with good old-fashioned
wind power

as you build
an incredible world

with a giant centerpiece
that spins in the wind.

So instead of turning up
the heat,

we're gonna turn up the wind.

All the way up to 60 miles
per hour.

What?

Oh, my gosh.

We had an earthquake,
we've had to smash things

into each other, and now
we've got wind.

Richard: We've won two
challenges so far

but it's only gonna get more
difficult

because anything can happen.

Anything can go right,
anything can go wrong.

Today you have such a
unique opportunity

to harness the invisible yet
powerful energy of the wind.

We want to see how you
bring this

into your storytelling to create
a whole world around you

that only gets more
fantastic

with the power of the wind.

Jamie: Motion is critical
for this challenge.

Make sure that you're
bringing movement

wherever possible.

We've never built a
functional windmill before.

And, hey, welcome to
challenge number seven.

Will:
We're giving you 12 hours

before we come huffing and
puffing

to blow your bricks down.

Will: Good luck,
and get your brick on!

- Right. Right away.
- Okay.

Let's draw up a plan.

So I'm definitely thinking
making a portal.

Richard: We're all about
environmentalism,

sustainability.

We're gonna cover this
all with rock and stuff.

We're not engineers,
so we're gonna build

a strong windmill, but
put our focus just as much

into the world around it.

'Cause we want it to be
strong at the base...

Around the whole thing.

...So it doesn't,
you know, fall off.

Maria: In our world,
we've got big windmill,

which is powering the rest
of the world.

- Will: Hi.
- How are you guys?

Glad we survived Caleb's
terrible driving.

Oh, in the last challenge?

Yeah, yeah.

Will: I hope you're okay
with this,

let's take another look.

Caleb, 30 seconds.
Caleb and Jacob, you're in!

That was tough last week,
wasn't it?

And I think we have a shot
of Jacob's face

right after
the truck went over.

Remember this?
Let's take a look.

[sad music playing]

Yup, just disappointment.

Sheer disappointment.

Caleb: Come on, man.

Will: And let's get another
angle of the crash.

Will: Has he always been
a bad driver?

Answer carefully.

Uh-oh.

So, what is the story here
so far that you've got?

We are making the portal
to Atlantis.

And to get that portal running,
we need a current

to come through,
spin the windmill,

and then it's gonna
magically become a portal

- as it spins faster and faster.
- I love it.

I mean, you guys,
that's pretty great.

- Initially it was Caleb's idea?
- Yeah.

So you're happy with him
driving this idea?

Yeah, at least it's not him
literally driving.

- Will: You've learned nothing.
- You've learned nothing, Jacob.

Michelle: Here's what
I was talking about.

Oh, cute! I love that.

So the challenge this week
is to build something

that can withstand 60 mile
an hour winds.

Michelle: So I feel like
this should be our challenge.

My husband has been a
wind turbine technician

for years and years.

And now I'm thinking, man,
I wish I would have listened

to more of his work talk.

Sweet.

Oh, maybe we can even put
the blade right here.

Whenever we lean into, like,
technical challenges.

- It's like, that's us!
- Let's go.

Me and my brother
are building oasis,

which is basically our home
in California.

It's important for this
windmill to tell our story

that we have really cool
projects that go on in our home.

We also do archery.

We first started off
in the back yard,

and my mom is the most
supportive person in the world.

I find being able to talk
about things

which are personal to me
are the best stories.

At this point, like, you know,

the judges are really
starting to focus a lot more

on story and fine detail.

This might fly off.

So, Jamie, how can our
teams make sure

their windmill works?

It's all about controlling
where the wind goes.

So for example,
what you see here,

we have two flat planes,
and when you push on this

with wind, it's like
blowing on a wall.

The trick to get around that

is to give a little bit of
an angle

using this click hinge that
we normally use

on our robot legs or things
like that.

What it does is it gives the
air somewhere to go

and it should rotate.

Will: Wow, that was great.

Amy, I'm gonna need
my hairdryer back, too,

if you don't mind.

- Hey, guys, how's it going?
- Hey, Mark and Steven.

Good to see you,
Mark and Steven.

What we're going for,
basically, is a moon base.

Mark: It's a city on a
distant planet.

We're using the power
created by

the spinning turbine to
terraform the planet

and try and bring this planet
back to life.

Steven:
The name of our build

is wind-powered
terraforming.

Another strength challenge.

We haven't done great in
the strength challenges,

as you guys
have probably observed.

We may have.

Level eight on
the brickter scale.

And you guys of course
have the golden brick

- in your pocket.
- Yes.

Amy: Is that influencing how
you're gonna approach this challenge?

Are you gonna take a bit
more of a chance?

We're not afraid to use it,
but at the same time

we definitely don't want to
have to use it.

- Okay.
- Good luck with it.

Thank you, guys.

Caleb: We need to make
sure this wind

is not going just straight
into the tower,

but becoming spinny.

That's science.

How tall do you wanna
do this thing?

- Will: Hi, Philip.
- Philip: How's it going?

- Hi. Didn't see you there.
- Hi there.

I've got lego prints
on my arm.

That's a lego injury.

When you lean on lego
bricks too long you get that.

That's what happens.

So, what are you guys
building?

We're gonna build this
really colorful

wind-based science city.

Maria: New tinkerton
is a city filled

with the quirkiest little
inventors

who live in the funniest little
colored houses

all stacked up on top of
each other.

So are you gonna go for
the strength

or the aesthetic more?

- Make sure it spins.
- Will: Smart.

I mean, that's the challenge.

And then make it look
really nice.

Lauren: All right,
another layer.

- Hello, Dave, Richard.
- Jamie.

- Hi, Amy. How are you?
- Hello, Dave and Richard.

We're looking at something
very different here

for a wind challenge.

So we're gonna take one
thing that maybe

a lot of people are not
gonna do

and we're gonna use sound.

Our design concept is to
build a garden.

Richard: This is a very
personal build.

This one speaks to some of
my upbringing around plants.

My grandmothers' always
had plants in their house,

and now I take care of all
the plants at home.

We're thinking about how
plants make their own sounds

when they're hit by gusts
of wind.

You just gotta be careful
that you can last a bit longer.

You don't wanna have this
beautiful display

that just gets blown away.

So you can always
make it stronger.

Richard: We're taking
a big risk in our build

and we don't wanna just
play it safe every single time.

This definitely needs to be
heavier, so I'll do that.

One more studs out layer
and let's see where we lie.

- Okay?
- Okay.

- Hi, Lauren and Bryan.
- Lauren: Hi.

Will: Tell me a little bit
about this.

Bryan: This is going to
be an undersea

tidal turbine tango.

The turbine's going to create
all these currents,

so it's gonna be a full on
undersea dance.

Caleb and Jacob are doing
an undersea thing, too.

Caleb!

Caleb: Yes, sir?

Will: What ocean
are you guys in?

- Uh, the Atlantic.
- Will: Atlantic.

We live in California,
so we're on the pacific ocean.

Pacific. All right,
I'll check in in a little bit.

Thanks, all right.

See? Look.

Oh, it's spinning smoother
now, bro.

Okay, so... - does it need to
be canted? Is this gonna spin?

Philip decides he's gonna
start stacking the tower.

And I decide I'm gonna
start making the windmill.

Those are not gonna fall off
of there.

Well...

I finish my propeller
and we realize

it's not gonna work 'cause
it's flat, it's heavy.

It's not gonna spin.

That's gonna fall off.

You're gonna have to
rethink your thing.

It's gonna be a problem.

Maria: Really sucks
because we just spent

the last hour, hour and a half,
putting it together

and every second counts

and we just lost
a lot of them.

I feel like there are things
that we can make.

But what am I gonna do
to make 'em?

Ay-yi-yi-yi-yi.

Oh, babe.

I really hate this.

Back in the old days of
television

after a commercial, the host
would remind the audience

what the show is all about.

But these days people prefer it

when the information comes out
conversationally.

So, brickmasters, sup?

Like, what's the deal with
the challenge on this episode?

Conversational.

We're asking our teams
to make builds

that can withstand winds up
to 60 miles an hour.

We want them
to actually spin...

Make sure that all clears.

...And come to life and get
even more fantastic

as the wind gets stronger.

Making some really strong
support structure right there.

Wow, that's really
interesting.

I'm hoping.

The team that's gonna win
this challenge

is gonna have what?

Jamie: It's not just about
the strength.

They have to have aesthetics
and movement.

- Mark: It's not bad.
- We're getting pretty good, bro.

Philip: You're gonna have
to rethink your thing.

That's gonna fall off.

It's gonna be a problem.

Maria: I feel like we went
about this all wrong.

I basically tried to make a
windmill blade

that's not gonna work.

- You sure you don't wanna use...
- Like, make it thinner?

I feel there are things that
we can take off.

But what am I gonna do
to make 'em?

Philip: Well, you can
use, like, technic.

You could use thinner blades.

It's very frustrating to know
that my pretty good-looking

propeller is also pretty
non-functional.

So, Philip says he's gonna
give it a whirl.

I have a feeling that I can
pull this off.

I feel like there's so much
more to go.

So, make sure the blades
can spin.

I mean, might need
to bring it out

- a little bit further.
- Okay.

This drive Axel is kind of
flexible

is my only dislike about it.

Should we have done a
different color than white?

- Hello!
- Hi, guys.

- Hey.
- Will: What's your idea?

Michelle: So the name of
our build is a child's world.

And the wind is gonna represent

all the playful movements
of a child...

Their breath when
they're blowing

on a pinwheel or bubbles.

Oh, yeah,
that's kind of fun.

I was really excited about
the idea

of doing something that
was centered around kids

'cause I know I'm really
missing mine

and Natalie's really
missing hers.

So, they're a little bit
closer to us.

Will: So how is it gonna
be strong enough?

Still kind of testing
that out.

I don't really know how
to answer the question...

I barely know how to ask
the question.

I'm still kind of new to the
hosting gig.

Natalie's pretty good.

- Why don't you ask questions?
- Natalie: Okay.

- I'll play you.
- You play me, I'll play you.

- Natalie: Okay, all right.
- Here, let's swap.

[rasping]
uh, hey, guys. How's it going?

Why are you asking that
question?

He's so stupid.

If he wasn't so handsome,
I'd leave.

Hang on a second.

What?

- [rasping]
- what's the challenge?

- We're building a pinwheel.
- We already told you.

[sighs]

Natalie did a great me.

It was almost
dishearteningly good.

Our therapist will be so proud

that we were able to get there
and do the role reversal.

It's hard, right?

Therapy?

Oh, my god.

You win.

I can just hear a whole
bunch of these going.

Yeah.

Wayne: You think the
axle's strong enough?

Zack: It might snap.

Halfway through this build,
we've built the structure

of this tower to test the
propeller blades.

But I don't think this thing
is strong enough.

If we put, like, a structure
that goes straight up

from here,
that would even it out.

So we're going to rebuild it
and make it stronger.

Okay.

- Gosh, I hope it spins.
- I hope it spins.

One of the keys to success
in this challenge is testing.

I wanna be right in the
middle of the action here.

Let's see how this goes.

So our teams have the
opportunity to try out

their windmill with a smaller
fan and see how it's spinning.

Will: Here we go.

Three, two, one.

Oh, it's moving.

Wind in your hair.

Like you're driving in a car
somewhere.

Whoo, it works!

- Where is it hitting it?
- Where is it hitting? Right here?

Wayne:
Breathe, Zack, breathe.

- Jamie: Hey, Zack, Wayne.
- How you doing?

Jamie: So this is
changing quite a bit.

Looks like you've completely
taken it apart

- and started again.
- Yeah.

Wayne: Reconstructing
this thing is risky.

Hopefully the risk that we
took will justify itself in the end.

I think it's really important
that you get the key parts,

but we wanna have that wow
when we first see it

and we wanna have a wow
when the fan's switched on.

- Jamie: Exactly.
- Use the time wisely.

We can't wait to see your
model come to life.

- I really hope we can get it.
- Good luck. Thanks.

- Maria: It's moving very fast.
- Is that a problem?

What, this thing?

- Maria: Yeah.
- No, that's good.

- Maria: That's good? Okay.
- Yeah.

But this is why we test,

so we can see what happens.

What's going on here,
you guys?

Are you hap... oh, oh.

Is this reacting the way
that you thought it would?

Not exactly.

Richard:
We create these flowers

that have some space in
the sides of them

so that whatever object
we put inside of it,

if it rocks back and forth, it'll create
some sound through those spaces.

It's too much force and
it's not going forward.

- Those mechanics not working?
- I'm worried.

All right,
back to the drawing board.

Hey, there,
I'm will the weatherman

with your "lego masters"
storm report.

Today's forecast is calling
for wind, wind, wind,

and more wind.

Expect a mix of elation and
disappointment

when our giant fan tears
these builds apart.

Of course, the big weather
question

on everybody's mind is
whether Mark and Steven

will use their golden brick
to protect themselves today.

I guess it all depends on
which way the wind blows.

Back to you in the studio, will.

Thanks, will. Stay tuned for the
local sports report when we come back.

I'm doing the local sports
report, too? Jeez!

Wayne:
Breathe, Zack, breathe.

I'll see what I can find.

We have other ideas that
we can implement for motion.

We're not hung up
on just doing sound design.

We know that because we
can implement

one level of motion
in the tulips,

we can recreate
that in our garden.

Okay, I was just gonna try
to make at least, like,

four altogether.

I like it.

- This one, like...
- Well, let's hope it works.

I need you to put flowers
on this.

Sure, I made flowers.

We reconstructed our
windmill to be stronger

and now we're focusing on
some mechanical details

that actually move
and function

by the power of the wind.

And then we have
a propeller powering

the dogs chasing each other.

We're adding
all the extra details

and really trying
to impress them.

Wayne: Do you think
we're good on time or no?

Zack: Yeah, I think we're
gonna make it, Wayne.

Oh, hey, there.

Oh, hey there,
Caleb and Jacob.

You guys,
this is pretty rad-looking.

What do we got?

Jacob: We're just focusing
on getting as much coral

and color and craziness
down here on the bottom.

We're hoping that a lot of
this stuff

is actually gonna
be able to move

when the fan starts blowing.

Will: How strong is this
gonna be?

That should be pretty
strong.

- Is it gonna go to 60?
- It is gonna go to 60.

Our rotor, it's so
ridiculously over-engineered.

It's not coming down.

You heard it here.

It's going to 60.
All right guys.

Mark, what's going on?

Steven, guys, how's it...
This looks pretty good.

What do you think, stronger
than c and j's?

- That's a tough call.
- I don't know.

But I do know that we
don't make such

tragic mistakes that they do.

- Wow.
- 'cause, I mean...

Get out of here.

I mean,
driving off a cliff?

- What did you just say?
- Those two.

- That was, like...
- That was way over the top.

I'm sorry.

[muttering]

Michelle: I'm super excited
that it actually works.

- [alarm blaring]
- will: Hunker down!

That light means the storm
is a-coming.

One hour away!

You got me that time.

- That really...
- That really scared you.

- I felt that.
- I felt that.

Philip: I'm actually
ahead of schedule.

- Good.
- Philip created this new blade,

and this 2.0 version
of our propeller,

- it spins, works perfectly.
- Totally fine.

Maria: So we're hoping
it's gonna be strong.

Our goal right now is to
just push through

as much as we can because,
you know,

we have an ultimate goal.

We would love to win this
competition

because it would give us the
ability to expand our family

through adoption, which is
something we both

have felt led to do
for years now.

And so we're hoping in the
near future to be able

to go down that road.

Yes!

Maria: Make sure there aren't
any loose pieces on there.

- Amy: Hi, guys.
- Hello.

How is the underwater
party going?

- Lauren: We're having fun.
- Still getting base.

I'm surprised at how much
gray that you have.

So, where are you bringing
the color into your model?

We're gonna have lots of
fun plants... coral, algae, kelp.

I do think a lot of it is going to
come down to how you use color.

You have these nice little
dangly arms coming off,

but right now they're just
gray like everything else.

Make sure it doesn't become
camouflaged.

The characters are already
standing out quite nicely,

so if you keep up that approach,

I think it
could be quite vibrant.

- Good luck.
- Thank you guys.

Jamie:
Thank you very much.

So we're just wondering,
like, are the rocks

gonna be a thing
that the judges don't like

enough to the point to put
us in the bottom two?

But when the competition's
so stiff...

Lauren: It's so stiff.

Bryan: ...That leaves a lot
less teams to choose from

for who the bottom two
are going to be.

Yeah, I would not spend a
ton of time on those

'cause they're going to break.

- Maria: Too goofy?
- No, perfect.

This season, we put our
teams' builds through the ringer.

Explosions.

Demolition derbies.

And now we're blasting
them with wind.

So, who's looking good?

Dave and Richard were
going for a sound garden,

but I think they've now
realized that, one,

- it's a really loud fan.
- Will: Yeah.

So you're not gonna
hear the sound.

And, two, that actually, these
pieces aren't very strong,

so they're gonna break away.

So they've redirected
a little bit.

Well that's the danger of
going for a sound garden

because you can end up
an audioslave.

- Ha, ha.
- That's really good.

Will: Okay,
Caleb and Jacob,

they have what looks to be
the biggest tower out there.

- Look at that, though.
- It is massive.

Will: Philip and Maria have
a really sort of beautiful build.

It looks
like there's a lot of story

and I'm interested to find out
what that is.

- Maria: Oh, very nice.
- Look at you.

Talk about a fun build, you
look at Lauren and Bryan.

A lot of great-looking
creatures in the front.

Jamie:
I do still wonder how much

they'll be able
to cover of the gray,

because it's quite dominant.

Cute!

These are really rad-looking.

- It's a working turbine.
- Will: That is so cool.

This is gonna be an oxygen
dispenser like Da Vinci's dream.

- Of course. Yeah, I knew I recognized it.
- Mark: Exactly.

- Guys, this looks so, so cool.
- Thank you.

- Wayne: Close as I can find.
- Okay, it's okay.

Will: Dave, Richard, how fast
do you think this can sustain?

- I think 60, you know?
- 60!

It'll handle 60.

I'm nervous because I don't know
exactly what the wind's gonna do.

We've had so many challenges
where you see things

that you think are gonna work
and they don't.

We might be too busy.

Richard: I'm a little
worried about that, too.

So we should take out some
flowers, you think?

One minute left!

Get those final pieces
in place.

Hand me another axle.

- 30 seconds.
- Oh, my gosh.

Will: Three, two, one.

Time's up, bricks down!

- Whoa! Wow.
- Come here.

- Give me a hug.
- Love you.

Will: Okay, teams,
let's take a look

at your incredible
wind-powered creations.

You spent 12 hours
building something

that harnesses the power
of the wind.

One at a time, you'll bring
your build forward

for the brickmasters to review,

and then we'll see how much
wind it can handle.

We'll start
at 10 miles per hour,

ratcheting it up in intervals
all the way to 60.

Mark and Steven,
you're still holding on

to the golden brick,
which provides immunity

and protects you from
elimination.

If you choose not to activate
the golden brick

and you end up in the
bottom two,

I have to take it away.

Are you ready to cash in
the golden brick?

I think we're going to hang on
to the golden brick.

- Keep it safely here.
- Will: Okay.

Mark and Steven, you are
throwing caution

to the wind and keeping
the golden brick.

That means you could be
eliminated.

Are you guys ready for this?

- Yeah!
- All right.

Michelle and Natalie,
you're up.

Michelle: We call this
a child's world.

We were inspired by our kids.

And the wind is supposed to
represent all the movements of a child...

Their breath when
they're blowing on a pinwheel

or bubbles, their hands
when they're playing

with their favorite toys.

Amy: You guys clearly
had fun making this build.

It's so playful, it's got
a great nostalgic feel,

and it has such
a bold visual storytelling.

What you've done really well
is you've tied

your windmill into the rest
of your build

so that it's one really strong
complete story.

- Great, great job.
- Thank you.

Now it's time for us to take
your pinwheel for a spin.

Aesthetically,
I'm in love with our build.

But our fan blades? I'm not so
sure how well they're going to hold up.

So I'm a little bit nervous
about that part.

Will: Going to start it up
to 10 miles an hour.

Okay. That's nice.

- Natalie: She's moving.
- She's moving.

All right. 20.

Jamie: So far, so good.

It's stable.
Tower's not moving at all.

Will:
Crank this baby up to 30.



Wow.

Look at the kite tail, guys.

Still holding.

We've passed 30 miles per hour.

- Halfway.
- Yeah.



Jamie: Okay, there goes
the middle.

It's still going.

- 45!
- Holding on.

Jamie: Oh, there we go.

Will: 45 miles per hour.

Jamie: I mean, wow.

I really wanted to see that
kite fly,

but really impressive how
long it lasted.

- Really great to watch.
- Did it go as you'd hoped?

Well, we knew it was
gonna stand up

to 17 miles an hour since
we had tested that,

but it was like, beyond that
what can we expect?

I don't know.
Fingers crossed. So...

- Yeah, it was exciting.
- Yeah.

- Will: That was awesome.
- Great job.

- Thank you.
- Zack and Wayne, you're up.

Zack: Halfway through this
build we needed

to reconstruct this windmill
a little bit stronger.

Will it survive?
I don't know.

Zack and Wayne, tell us
about your build.

Wayne: The name of this
particular piece

is called oasis, which is
basically our home.

We have our house, we have
the fields in front,

we have my mom in the
front right there,

and the various customers
I have teaching archery.

You see some dogs running
around,

and in the back right there
we have the primary source

of power,
which is the windmill.

Zack and Wayne, I love
that you're taking

the motion
of the propeller turning

and you're actually
converting it

into different motion
all over your model,

which I think hopefully is
gonna be really exciting

when the fan goes on.

Jamie: I do have to say,
I'm shocked

that with only
a few hours left

that you started your tower
over again.

I'm very curious to see how
stable it is.

Your tower, even though
it looks gorgeous,

could have some
vulnerabilities there.

- Now it's blow time.
- All right.

At the end of the day,
they're lego bricks.

They're not meant to withstand


Me and my brother
really want to be here

and it's really time
that we step up our game,

show off better builds, and really
show the judges exactly what we can do.

So we really don't know if
this thing can go all the way.

Will: Hold on to your hats.

It's about to get windy in here.

- We're good, Wayne.
- I love it regardless of whatever happens.

Let's go.

Wow.

Will: Zack and Wayne,
hold on to your hats.

It's about to get
windy in here.

Jamie: In this challenge,
we're asking our builders

to not just focus
on the wind turbine,

but they need to make sure
that the world around it

also comes to life
and tells a story.

- Will: Let's go.
- 20 miles an hour.

It's really spinning.

That's actually
going pretty well.

- Will: That thing is going!
- Zack: So far, so good.



- Zack: Oh, now it's alive.
- Will: It's really going now.

Look at all the stuff moving
there. That looks great.

- Wow. It's still going.
- 40 miles per hour!

Amy: The flower beds
are moving!

- Jamie: Oh, yeah!
- That's a nice surprise.

- Amy: Yeah.
- 45 miles per hour!

[cheering]

You're now tied with
Natalie and Michelle.

Come on! Let's go!



Come on!

- Oh! The...
- Oh!

- Big piece came off.
- 55 miles per hour!

- Yeah!
- Come on!

Whoa!

Amy: Not only did it hold
for a really long time

and it was incredibly strong, but
there was little surprises along the way.

There was those fun details
that show us

that you really thought about
how you could capture motion.

- Good job, Zack and Wayne.
- Thanks.

Wayne: That was awesome.

Lauren and Bryan, you're up.

Bryan: Here we have
the tidal turbine tango.

So all of the sea creatures
in the ocean

have gathered all around
this turbine in the water

because it creates these
amazing currents

that they found out is really
awesome for dancing.

I do think you guys spent
a long time

making a gray base and then
trying to hide it with color.

And as a result, I think your colorful
characters are getting a little bit lost.

- Will: Okay, let's tango.
- All right, here we go.

All right, Lauren and Bryan,
here comes the breeze.

- Going to take it up to 15.
- Jamie: Oh, there's some spinning down there.

- Will: Yup.
- 15 miles per hour.


All right, pretty good.

So far, so good
at 25 miles per hour.

Here you are
at 30 miles per hour.

Still holding strong.

Going to crank this up
to 45 miles per hour.

Jamie: Oh, blades
are hitting the tower.

- Here we go.
- 50 miles per hour.

[indistinct chatter]

That's still
pretty good though.

Jamie: I think just a little bit more
of the dancing would have been great.

You have fun features, like,
you're using these flexible joints.

They should be, like,
flopping in the water.

But it was great to see how long
your main turbine continued.

- Great job, you guys. Awesome.
- Thank you.

At this point, it'll really come
down to just what the judges thought

about aesthetics and the
overall world of our build.

Mark and Steven, you're up.

Mark: The name of our build
is wind-powered terraforming.

It's the story of this team
of astronauts

who've decided to bring this
dry desolate planet to life

and the only way they can
do that

is by using these windmills
that they've built.

Amy: And I love to see that
you've pushed yourself

with some new colors,
and I think you have

some really nice sculpting
on your central tower

especially, that gives
a really a really clean

and smooth aesthetic.

What's lacking a little bit
is the space aspect.

Because I feel like your
towers are such a standout,

the world below is a little
bit hidden and gets lost.

- Will: Okay, let's do it.
- All right.

We've never built anything that's
supposed to face the wind before.

If we end up
in the bottom two,

we will be losing that
golden brick automatically.

- So it's just a huge guess.
- Yeah.

Mark and Steven,
say hello to my little fan.

Let's start it up.


- Jamie: It's all spinning.
- The things are moving nicely.

Amy: Nice little motion of
the plants.

Jamie: There's a lot
of dancing.



- It's still going.
- 40 miles per hour.

Jamie: Things are
definitely coming off.



Jamie: Those astronauts
are hanging on.

Tower's starting to act
like a wing.

- It's moving back and forth.
- There you go.



- Steven: Yeah!
- Holding up at 55.

- 60 miles per hour.
- [cheering]

we made it to 60!

We've proven that we can
build strong now. We finally did it.

Way to go.

All right,
Dave and Richard, you're up.

Dave: Our build is called
gnome matter the weather.

We have some gnomes
living in a garden

who have built this device
to let them know

when the wind is coming.

On the inside,
it has some chimes

that signal that it's time to
collect the pollen.

Amy: You guys have given us
a really quirky and colorful build,

and I think it's really
exciting to look at.

It's really important that
we win this competition

because we won one challenge,

and then we ended up in
the bottom two.

We wanna be up and stay up.

Dave and Richard,
here comes the wind.



- Here we go.
- Jamie: Nice.

Will:
Nice little gentle breeze.

Yeah, nice little garden
with a breeze.

Here, let's take it up to 25
miles per hour.

- Look at those windchimes go.
- You can hear the sound.


and Richard.

Oh, yeah, you can see the
pollen blowing out.

They're hanging on. Those flowers
are hanging on pretty well, I got to say.


Hanging tough.

Going to take it up to 50
miles per hour. Still holding on.

- Oh!
- That was a surprise.

- We'll take it.
- Will: Wow.


How do you feel?

- It feels pretty good.
- Yeah?

Richard:
I really love this build,

and it just reminds me so
much of, like,

the things that we love...
Our families

and the world, you know?

And every one of your
flowers survived.

- Remarkable.
- Yeah.

Your little windchimes
through your tower

gave a really nice effect and
a lot of sound, a lot of motion.

I think that was something
we weren't expecting

over the noise of the fan,
and we could hear them.

Yeah, we could hear it,
yeah, all the way back there.

- Great job, you guys.
- Thank you.

Will: Caleb and Jacob,
you're up.

Caleb: This is
the portal to Atlantis.

We're hoping when that
fan blows,

our turbine is gonna turn
into a portal of sorts,

a portal that will transport us
all to Atlantis.

I love the story behind
this build.

And you've been so deliberate
building in

architectural details with
archways, with the fish,

with the trident on the front,

and I think that makes it
really stand out for me.

Jamie: It's really nice,
the way that you actually

married your detailed
architecture on the side

with a core that's
really strong.

But I'll be very curious to
see if your strength

actually holds up
with your mechanism.

Jacob: I'm kind of worried about
that outward force on the blades.

All right, Caleb and Jacob,
let's throw caution to the wind.

I'm wondering if ours
will actually hold up.

You tell me this now?

There's no
going back now, buddy!

Will: All right,
Caleb and Jacob, here we go.

Just creating a strong build is not
gonna get you a win in this challenge.

We want our teams to consider
aesthetics and how their model looks.

And we'll be taking all of that into
account when we pick our winner.

Take it to 15. Just barely
starting to move here.



Now the show has started.

Will: They needed more
power, yeah.

Coral's starting to vibrate
a bit in the front.



That blade is going pretty
well.

Jamie:
Wow, this is very stable.

Take it up to 45 miles
per hour.

Jamie:
Starting to slowly move.



And it's still holding up.

- Come on, come on.
- Will: 55 miles per hour!

- Oh!
- Spinning this turbine.

One of the pieces gone down.
Are they gonna go the distance?




Great job, you guys.

Our over-engineering
paid off.

Caleb: This is great coming
off last week's catastrophic failure.

It just feels really good.

Maria and Philip,
you're up.

Maria: This is
new tinkerton city,

filled with the quirkiest
little inventors

who live in the funniest
little colored houses

all stacked up on top of
each other.

They're working on lots of
little gadgets to harness

the wind and in order to
make their inventions work.

Amy: You guys have created
such an imaginative and colorful world,

and it's just full of little
stories. So much fun.

But when I do get closer,
I can see

that some of the building
techniques you're using

are a little bit more simplified
and lack a little bit of finesse

that some of the other builds we
see in the competition at this stage.

I love that you show
the inner workings,

but I am wondering if your main
attraction is gonna be strong enough.

Philip: Our propeller looks
different than everybody else's.

It's a little bit lighter.

Either it's gonna be
really amazing,

'cause it's lightweight
and different

than what other people have
done around us,

or it's gonna fail
spectacularly.

Will: Maria and Philip,
I'm gonna turn this

into the real windy city.
Here we go.

Here we go.




Amy: A lot of movement
happening right away.

- And these little strings.
- Yeah, the strings.

- Amy: Nice effect.
- 15.15 miles an hour.

- Jamie: So far, so good.
- Amy: Spinning. Spinning different directions.

Will: Gonna crank this
baby up. 20 miles an hour.

- Oh, no! Man!
- Oh, no.

Will: One of the blades
just broke?

So 20 miles per hour.
How do you guys feel right now?

- Uh, little disappointed.
- We just made our tower too deep.

If we'd made it narrower,
we would have had more...

I think that's where
the real weak point was

is that you just
didn't have enough clearance.

They're kind of flexible, and as
soon as they hit, they fell apart.

Maria:
Seems like every challenge

we come forward with an
idea that we really love.

There's always that one thing...

That is not quite
over the top.

...That is not quite right

and it kind of sets us back
just a little bit.

Will: Today our teams
created big, beautiful,

impressive wind-powered builds
that took a pounding.

Mark and Steven,
Caleb and Jacob,

you are our strongest
two teams today.

But this challenge was not
about strength alone.

We're also looking
for aesthetics.

Now it's time for the
brickmasters to tell us

who blew them away and
who's gone with the wind.

Brickmaster Amy, who are
your top two teams?

Amy: Our top two teams
for this challenge are...

Caleb and Jacob...

And...

Dave and Richard.

Caleb and Jacob, you guys beat
the fan with a super strong build.

But on top of that,
you also gave us

some great architectural
details in your tower

that really blew us away.

And Dave and Richard, you
wowed us with your aesthetic.

Those flowers were
beautifully dancing

in the wind
and held till the end.

It was amazing to see how
strong they were

and yet how delicate they
were at the same time.

Will: Two incredible builds,

but only one team can win.

Who won today's challenge?

Amy: There was one team
that we feel

really nailed this challenge
and that was...

Dave and Richard.

Jamie: Dave and Richard, you
may not have been the strongest build,

but you were a real standout
in the aesthetics.

You also just
had movement that covered

your entire model and
really brought it to life.

It was gorgeous to watch
dance in the wind.

- Congrats, guys.
- Amy: Well done.

It was really
a beautiful build.

We can see so much of
ourselves in it

and now to have
back to back victories?

That's a really,
really strong statement to send.

Now, this is the part
that blows,

and not in the fun way
like before.

We have to send one team home.

Brickmasters, who are
the bottom two teams?

Our bottom two teams
for this challenge

are Maria and Philip...

...And Lauren and Bryan.

So how did Maria and
Philip end up here?

Amy: Maria and Philip,
you gave us a really colorful

and fun build
for this challenge,

but unfortunately
in the wind test,

your turbines failed
quite quickly.

And when we looked closer
at the details,

some of your build
was a little bit simpler

than the other builders at
this stage in the competition.

Lauren and Bryan, you guys
are really great

at making characters, but they
got lost on your base.

You really camouflaged
the beauty

that you did have to offer,
and then in the end

we just didn't get a chance to
see your full potential in this model.

Unfortunately, we have to
say good-bye to one team.

- Who's going home?
- Jamie: Unfortunately,

the team that has
to go home today...

...Is Maria and Philip.

Jamie: You've really
impressed us so many times.

This just unfortunately didn't quite
come together as we had hoped.

It's been a real joy to see you and
your growth in this entire competition,

so you should be very proud
and leave with your heads high.

Will: Maria and Philip,
I'm sure your kids

are gonna be so proud,
and they should know

that they've got two
awesome people as parents.

Please turn in your minifigs
and say good-bye.

Maria: Love you guys.

This has been such an
amazing experience.

You are such an amazing
builder.

Philip: It's been really
nice getting to know

each other better and
realizing that, like,

put under these constraints
and stress

that we can come up with some
pretty beautiful crazy things.

This has been one of those experiences
in our adventure of our marriage...

[sniffling]

It's something that we could
share together, share with our kids.

So it's just been
absolutely fantastic.

Thank you very much for
going with me.

- Will: Next week...
- Hey, hey!

Will: You're all gonna build
your very own puppets.

Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
Did you guys start without me?

When you're done building
your puppet,

you're gonna put on
a puppet show for us!

- That would be fun.
- Who do you want to team up with?

Do you guys want to partner
with your worst enemy?

Zack: We'll get to
collaborate with another team.

In this situation
you're both competitors

and then also teammates.

- Man: Huh!
- Show me what you got.

[vocalizing]

- [clattering]
- oh, no.
