MASTER CLASS
@QueenElsaArrendelle
Written three episodes into the new season We are most definitely a Lego household. We have ton of unopened sets yearning to be built. Boom is constantly setting the bar here for what can be done with bricks. So we were extremely happy about the return of Lego Masters. Season 1 was tremendous fun; I was really looking forward to what would be new in Season 2. Through the first few episodes, the challenges have focused on speed, largesse, and strength of story. Host Will Arnett along with Brick Masters Amy and Jamie guide the contestants through the challenges, creating some drama, keeping them on task, and offering advice. Lego Masters quickly became appointment television and one of my favorite competition series to watch. Kal summarized the show like this: Lego Masters features fun, creative challenges. Master builders attempt to try and win the Golden Brick to save you from being voted off. We’ve only seen three episodes so it’s hard to say it’s better than the first year. I like the contestants more this season. I really liked last year when they would stop the challenge midway through and throw a different challenge in the mix. In the latest episode they had to build a 4-foot tall tower and put in on the Brickter Scale

These are some Lego Masters stills to show how builds had to look good exploding (the frog) and be able to move (the dragon float). Then there are Reddit contributions (#10 and #15). One week Madeline tried to sort all our bricks.
to shake it and see how stable it was. That was so cool. I would love to grow up and be a contestant on Lego Masters with Boom as my partner, of course, because he’s really imaginative and great at building small-scale things. My contribution would be building the larger scale things as well as incorporating technical motion elements. To update, the challenges and builds were really intense this season. The most talented people who will probably win the whole thing have embraced being the villains this season. Actually yelling at the TV that the Douche Brothers (as Madeline calls them) need to go home has been a fun dimension to viewing this season. You should stream it if you missed it live. —LV
