'Lego Masters' Semi-finals: Tyler-Amy end up in bottom two, baffled fans say they will still win the finale
Tyler and Amy Clites have had a golden run in 'Lego Masters'... till Episode 9. No, don't worry, they weren't eliminated, but were very, very close to being sent home in the semi-finals. Luckily for them, there was a twist, and all three teams would be present in the finale.
And what came as a surprise was that Tyler and Amy were defeated by Sam Hatmaker and Jessica-Ragzy Ewud, who started their Lego journey as underdogs. Sam and Jessica are no strangers to being in the bottom two, but Tyler and Amy, who have won most of the challenges, were rather shocked to find themselves in a tricky situation.
Tyler and Amy have made consistently good builds throughout the season and have received glowing praise from the judges for their eye to detailing and magical storytelling. Be it their dream-theme space parks, or superb rehashing of movie genres, or even the city block that could sustain 1000 pounds, Tyler and Amy were sure contenders for the Lego Master title. They've always been confident, but the latest episode has made them eat a slice of humble pie.
In the 'Star Wars' episode, as part of their first challenge, they made a droid, who had a milk tray on top of its head. This was a particularly endearing design and judges hailed them as winners of Round 1. However, in the second challenge, their recreation of an iconic 'Star Wars' scene failed to make the cut, even though it was appreciated and praised.
The finale is going to be a gripping watch, as it is between three brilliant teams — Mark-Boone, Sam-Jessica and Tyler-Amy. The choice is going to be a difficult one. Tyler and Amy still have a solid chance, as long as they stay grounded.
Though most fans were shocked at the decision, there are many who strongly believe that Tyler and Amy will come out as winners in the finale.
A fan wrote, "Just here again for my #LEGOMastersFOX weekly tweet to say that if tyler and amy don’t win, i’m throwing myself into a vat of legos," a fan tweeted.
"Sam and Jessica should have been gone WEEKS ago. Ugh! At least I know Tyler and Amy will win the finale," wrote another fan.
"The most ridiculous decision of 2020 is that the Brickmasters placed Sam and Jessica in 2nd place instead of Tyler and Amy after that build," tweeted a fan.
"Watching #LEGOMastersFOX Tyler and Amy would have been completely screwed by the judges. Why did they want more color on a scene that is mostly white and grey," wrote another fan.
Fans now hoped that Tyler and Amy won't be 'cocky' anymore. "Hopefully Tyler and Amy learned that cocky attitude stuff does not end well," a fan wrote.
Who will win? Tune into the finale of 'Lego Masters', next week, Wednesday at 9 pm.
