The final of the LEGO Masters is approaching, and all the pairs that are now left have previously been at the top in one of the previous competitions.
Despite the fact that everyone had done well before, the participants felt the pressure. Barley collapsed, the “gold block” was used, and the couple who were sent home smoked due to only small details.
But this week also saw the biggest dispute so far.
Most impressive so far
In this week’s knockout competition, the participants had to build a structure that hung in the air, using only one metal wire and one starter block.
Gregor from LEGO Masters had his life turned upside down when he moved to Norway
Several of the participants found this week’s task challenging. Therefore, Gregor and Are, who ended up at the bottom two last week, chose to use the so-called “golden block” that they had won in the first competition. This guaranteed them on to the next round.
When piece master Erik Legernes (50) assessed the plane they have built, he describes it as an “aerodynamic masterpiece” – and could tell that it had not been necessary for them to use the gold block.
– But congratulations, you are guaranteed a place in the quarterfinals !, brags host Erik Solbakken (36).
Another couple who feared the elimination this week were the “twins from Sveio”, Ole Jakob and Øyvind. With only two and a half hours left of the original eight, their structure fell to the ground and shattered into several pieces.
Here it goes wrong for the “twins”
Although they admitted they were close to giving up, they rebuilt the eagle and got it done on time. This was piece master very impressed.
– It was deadly to see that you just: “We will manage this”, and continue to build, he brags.
– And the fact that you actually managed it, is very impressive. It really is a masterpiece in this eagle, states Legernes.
The couples who ended up at the bottom according to the chip master’s assessment were Bård and Reier, and Joakim and Ebbe. And despite the extra time, which they won after the episode’s challenge, and an exceptionally creative function, it was Bård and Reier who had to leave the LEGO Masters.
Hairy goals
When TV 2 calls Bård and Reier, they are sure in their case about what made them unfortunately end up at the bottom this time.
– We set ourselves a hair-raising goal that we should build something that weighed 11 kg. It was the heaviest of all the buildings. I do not think anyone, ever in the history of the LEGO Master, has done something similar, Bård tells TV 2 over the phone.
– It was not that the building was not good enough, or that the idea was not good enough. But time quickly ran out, he continues.

This was despite the fact that the participants won the evening’s first challenge, which was to build the tallest structure. This victory gave them 30 minutes of extra construction time in the main competition.
– If we had had half an hour more, then we would have managed it, Bård adds.
Shrimp agree with this, but also believe the structure itself made it difficult for them.
– We built too big. If we had solved the idea with a smaller model, we would have arrived in port, he explains to TV 2 over the phone.
– Brikkemester had criticized several through the program when construction was not completed, and he judged us this time. There should have been more details, and we miscalculated how long it would take to build something so large simply, he continues.
– What? Is it true?!
On the other hand, they described the experience at the LEGO Masters as absolutely fantastic
– It was a party to be with, Bård explains.
Here Ullevålseter sees the unorthodox tribute: – Incredible
– Being able to stand for hours building LEGO instead of being at work has been incredibly fun. In addition to challenging himself in our hobby, Reier says.
This made the unexpected message from the director after the duo had been applauded out of the studio very surreal.
Then they learned that they got another chance in the competition.
– What? Is that true?!, Bård answers with a big smile in the episode, at the same time as Reier sits next to speechless.
When TV 2 asks them what the dispute is, the participants are probably so secretive.
– In this competition, anything can happen. So you just have to sit down at the screen next week, and see what we are going to do, says Bård.
– What happens next we can not reveal. But there will be a dispute, Reier explains.
The viewers – or the remaining participants – will not know what is happening until next week.
LEGO Masters you see Fridays at. 20 on TV 2, and whenever you want on TV 2 Play.
