Lego Masters is a French reality television show based on the international franchise of the same name. It is hosted by 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] 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
The series is produced by Endemol Shine France, a subsidiary of the Endemol Shine Group.[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] It was first announced on 1 December 2020 and aired on M6 from 23 December 2020 to 12 January 2021.[9] The series was also shown in Belgium on RTL-TVI from 26 December 2020 to January 16 2021.[10]
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.[11] Both teams bridges managed to hold 500kg beating the record of 453kg previously set in the American version of the show.[12]
The winners of the first series were David and Sébastien who in the final created a Lego totem pole that represented them.[13] Sébastien was a graphic designer and creator of the magazine Brique Mag who met David when he interviewed him about his Lego prosthetic arm.[14]
