“Lego Masters” Season 5 Premieres with Exciting Twists
The highly anticipated Season 5 of “Lego Masters” kicked off on Monday with some mind-blowing twists that left competitors in shock. One of the biggest changes this season is the absence of the clock, leaving builders feeling disoriented and challenged to keep track of time. Judges Jamie Berard and Amy Corbett joke about the contestants’ initial reaction to the missing clock, highlighting the unexpected challenges it brings to the competition.
The theme builds for this season include popular franchises like “Star Wars,” “Wicked,” and “Batman,” along with unique challenges such as a masquerade party and a giant wedding cake. One of the standout challenges involves incorporating a real, jumbo-sized waterfall into the builds, adding an extra layer of creativity and drama to the competition. According to Berard, the waterfall challenge is a favorite among the judges and brings out the emotional depth of the contestants’ creations.
Behind the scenes, a dedicated team at Lego headquarters in Denmark works tirelessly to come up with innovative build and challenge ideas for each season. The process involves testing and refining the challenges to ensure they push the contestants’ creativity to new heights. The show also takes inspiration from the active fan community, incorporating their feedback and suggestions into the challenges to create a truly collaborative experience.
As the challenges become more complex, the quantity and variety of bricks available to the contestants increase significantly. With over 4.5 million Lego pieces, 3,500 different types of elements, and more than 70 colors of bricks at their disposal, the contestants have a vast array of resources to bring their creations to life. The brick pit, with over 600 drawers, bins, and troughs, provides a treasure trove of building materials for the contestants to work with.
Despite the chaos that ensues when creations are destroyed and bricks go flying, the show’s team of helpers ensures a speedy restock of the brick pit. The off-stage stockroom mirrors the onstage setup, allowing for quick replenishment of supplies after explosive moments on the show. With casting already underway for future seasons, “Lego Masters” continues to captivate audiences with its thrilling challenges and awe-inspiring creations.
For fans interested in participating in the show, a live open call at Legoland California offers the opportunity to showcase their building skills and join the ranks of “Lego Masters” contestants. Visit legomasterstv.com for more information and to RSVP for the upcoming casting events.
