LEGO Masters finale dominates the ratings

Channel Nine’s LEGO Masters is absolutely dominating the competition in the ratings war.

The season three finale drew a high of 932,000 viewers on Monday night, with numbers peaking at 1.03million when David and Gus were announced as winners.

The Hamish Blake-fronted competition show easily trumped reality TV rivals, like Channel Seven’s Big Brother, which had 592,000 viewers.

Channel 10’s MasterChef Australia did even worse with 574,000 viewers. 

LEGO Masters delivered a nail-biting finale on Monday night. 

The contestants were given 28 hours to create whatever their imaginations inspired them to, for $100,000 in prize money.

It was between Gabby and Ryan, who built an impressive circus, and David and Gus, who created an elaborate forest scene. 

Also in the running were Owen and Scott, who created a Engineers versus Hippies build, which saw bulldozers move in on a forest guarded by a wizard.   

When all was said and done, David and Gus took the crown, with their forest diorama, complete with deer and a pack of wolves, impressing the judges.  

‘The reason we went with deer, they have good storytelling features,’ engineer Gus explained to the judges. 

‘Winning LEGO Masters is unreal. I feel like I’m dreaming and about to wake up any second now,’ David said after his win.

‘To have had the chance of being invited to participate in LEGO Masters was one of the best moments of my life.   

‘I am over the moon to have been able to meet some of the most talented builders and amazing people I’ve known in my life and to share the final with two amazing teams,’ he added. 

Gus said: ‘I have had a hard time putting my emotions from winning LEGO Masters into words. 

‘I came onto the show wanting to push myself technically and creatively and winning the finale really makes me feel that I have done that.

‘It was amazing to be paired with Dave. He has an unbelievable LEGO brain and has the ability to put all sorts of things together.’
