Lego Masters is a French reality television show based on the international franchise of the same name. It is hosted by comedy magician Éric Antoine and is judged by Georg Schmitt and Paulina Aubey.
Format
Eight teams of two complete two challenges every week, with the judges deciding who gets eliminated.[1] The show's two judges are Paulina Aubey, a visual artist and Georg Schmitt, France's only Lego Certified Professional.[2] 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.[3] The show has been likened to other reality tv shows such as Top Chef and Koh-Lanta.[4]
