'Lego Masters' Episode 5: Aaron and Christian's 'city block' masterpiece collapses, fans feel for them
Tension is off the charts in the latest episode of 'Lego Masters'. Titled 'Mega City Block', the participants had to build a city block that is brought together as a huge city at the end of the episode. While Mark and Boone engaged in a heated argument over the vision of the 'food cart tower', Aaron Newman and Christian Cowgill were heartbroken when their 'Sustainable City' tumbled over and broke, just as they were wheeling it into the gallery.
Aaron broke down after this devastating incident. Christian went to comfort him, and said they still had a 'hell of a build'. While fans were touched to see this brotherly affection, many tweeted saying they found it absurd that the contestants had to wheel the creations themselves into the gallery.
A fan wrote, "Seriously, asking your contestants to move their pieces is just asking for it to be destroyed. This is not a good competition if you can’t judge people at their best.
A viewer tweeted, "I really want to enjoy watching Lego Masters to watch the creativity, but requiring contestants to move what they built ruins the 'game' of the show. I don't understand why that has to be part of the 'competition.' So I turn the channel."
Another tweeted, "Epic collapse (no pun intended) by Christian and Aaron! Their tower fell into 1 million pieces!!! Bet they wish they had the #GoldenBrick now!!! #legomasters."
"Noooo Aaron and Christian!! I saw it happen in the previews but seeing it actually happen. Still hurts," tweeted another fan.
"Aaron crying, Christian with the save calling him 'Big Dog'. Love to see it," wrote a fan.
Aaron and Christian weren't the only ones who had issues with their Lego creations. Sam Hatmaker and Jessica Ragzy-Ewud's creation also broke, albeit not as badly as Aaron and Christian's.
'Lego Masters' airs on Wednesdays at 9/8c on Fox.
