Format edit

Eight teams of two complete two challenges every week, with the judges deciding who gets eliminated.[1] Lego Masters is presented by Éric Antoine, known for being a judge on La France a un incroyable talent.[2] The show's two judges are Paulina Aubey, a visual artist, and Georg Schmitt, France's only Lego Certified Professional.[3] The team that wins the competition gets €20,000 and the work that they made in the final will go on display at the Necker–Enfants Malades Hospital in Paris.[4] The show has been likened to other reality TV shows such as Top Chef and Koh-Lanta.[5]

Production edit

The series is produced by Endemol France (formerly Endemol Shine France), a subsidiary of Banijay.[6] The show was shot in July 2020 in a studio in Le Pré-Saint-Gervais.[7] No less than 2.5 million bricks were used in the show which were purchased by Endemol Shine and were not provided free of charge.[8] Antoine said in an interview that he had "called everyone at M6 to tell them that I was the man for the job" and that he was a "big fan of construction games".[9] The show was first announced on 1 December 2020 and aired on M6 from 23 December 2020 to 12 January 2021.[10] The series was also shown in Belgium on RTL-TVI from 26 December 2020 to January 16, 2021.[11]

In the second episode the world record for the greatest weight supported by a brick bridge was surpassed by Alban and Xavier and Marguerite and Renaud.[12] Both teams' bridges managed to hold 500 kg, beating the record of 453 kg previously set in the American version of the show.[13] The winners of the first series were David and Sébastien who in the final created a Lego totem pole that represented them.[14] Sébastien is a graphic designer and creator of the magazine Brique Mag who met David when he interviewed him about his Lego prosthetic arm.[15] A second series was confirmed in March 2021.[16]
