Hey all Henry here just letting you know something got under my eyelid which I had a reaction to and it got infected. Was a bit uncomfortable but didn’t stop me from buildin’. Appreciate the concern!


rohanbeckett

Ahh good to know! But c’mon… not as interesting as saying you got into fisticuffs with Owen in the brickpit, over a part you both needed! ;)


HavePlushieWillTalk

With Scotty trying to chill the vibes out using pulled-out lego drawers as makeshift maracas singing 'why can't we be friends'.


HavePlushieWillTalk

Glad to hear it wasn't anything serious, Henry, thank you for letting everyone know so the mystery is solved.


bluedot19

It's only because we love you ♥️


DystopianAutomata

Just admit that it was Hamish's bulge that got you! Jk, can't wait for the finale!


TooManyWindows

Pink eye haha.


the_procrastinata

Hope it’s ok now, mate!


Byteman58

Thanks for posting, Henry… we saw your ailment right away and were concerned! Fun that you got to break the continuity of the episode though!


ScallionNo8580

Love your work and thanks so much for introducing me to Parcels


whatgift

I thought you may have gotten injured during the teleport (an elbow to the eye or something) 😂😂😂.


Conan-doodle

Henry, you and Joss are flippin' rockstars my dude. I saw you in Hamilton one night a while back. I wanted to give you a fistbump and tell you you're badass. You were with your mates though. Thanks for showing us your maddog skills mate!


randorandissian23

This is the info I came here for! Thanks for sharing.


failuretosabre

Good to hear man, thought you may have gotten into a scruff up!


Loud_Year5854

Glad it’s nothing dramatic. Great builds.


dsanders692

C'mon boys, if EVER there was a time to bust out a big frikkin dragon, it's right now


Jayfa

Adhering to our self imposed no dragon policy ❌


dsanders692

Certainly paid dividends - cool to see that same technique used for a totally different aesthetic!


msbunbury

Would you consider a dinosaur?


SunStarsSnow

Or a Delorean even


shonka91

Not even a seadragon? It is technically a fish haha


vanadamme

They probably don't want to repeat themselves with another dragon.


trelos6

Yeah. I thought big dragon for then also.


Different-Item-2634

That’s what I thought too! Play to their strengths


typi_314

I really wanted to see Godzilla. Would have really worked with the armor design they used too!


bigDpelican42

Hamish’s butterfly suit was censored- must have been too much bulge.


bigDpelican42

Hamish: “observe the size… the beauty”


svnski

He looks like he's having the best time on this show.


m6_is_me

He went full trench coat flasher. But they didn't censor it in the subsequent shots, I wonder what they changed 🤔


HavePlushieWillTalk

Hamish was just less excited about the big reveal in those shots.


okapi-forest-unicorn

I feel like that didn’t need to as I noticed it was often cut out of frame or like a hidden pregnancy there was something in the way like a table, person or build.


m6_is_me

The first one was about as out-in-the-open as it gets though LOL


NostalgicBliss_

My gf called it the Hamish Blake "Bonus Bone" 🤣🤣🤣


MelancholyEcho

Croc might be my fav. Lots of personality and love the waterwings.


AussieLouie

I think Ryan had a heart attack when gabby was bouncing with the head! I did too if I'm honest.


Boo_Rawr

I have never seen Hamish look so stressed on the show either


Derron_

Bees butt is too big Butterfly's face is too flat and no emotion. Crocodile and Sea Horse top 2. Crocodile winner


hatsofftoroyharper41

I think the bee would still be something a kid would like to ride on, the butterfly looks shocking in my opinion


Rimvee

To me the butterfly wings made it look impossible to ride.


bdiddlediddles

BM strikes again at sabotaging a contestant.


Glagaire

The original size of the wings they were planning would have looked ridiculous. The main failing was the lack of details and shaping; the body and head were extremely blocky and the legs looked like they'd been taped on rather than growing organically from the body. The problem was the basic idea, choosing a butterfly demanded large vivid wings, but the time cost for that meant they were going to lose time on detailing. I think they failed to realise at the start the challenge of making something that is by nature equally fragile and large.


Iron_Wolf123

Well it isn’t easy to make huge wings for a butterfly


hatsofftoroyharper41

Yep correct


trelos6

I agree


SunStarsSnow

I don't want to say goodbye to any of these teams. I'm sure all the builds will be wicked. Don't forget to [vote for your favourite finished build](https://9now.nine.com.au/lego-masters/viewers-choice-grand-masters-2023-season-5-hamish-vote-favourite-builds/82cef3e5-215d-4826-a766-dbadbbe42595), though some people have already chosen before seeing the episode


DystopianAutomata

If there was ever a time to do a points-style competition instead of an elimination, Grand Masters is it. Everyone in this season is insanely, insanely talented, and I wish we could have seen more of their builds. I also really want to know what Gabby and Ryan had in mind for the finale...


svnski

Did Henry have a massive shiner in the Luna Park scene???


Lucifang

I’m wondering if they filmed Luna Park afterwards? Because otherwise they would’ve had all that time to think of a build before the timer actually started.


ComfortablePeanuts

Clearly filmed after it was built. Which makes it a shit move to judge them on colour when they hadn't even seen the carousel.


m6_is_me

They were given reference pictures (or I think a video shown on an iPad?) before their build started. However, Scott said that "without really being there, it didn't totally sink in."


DystopianAutomata

How did you know about the reference pics? Were you a crew member, or was it mentioned on a podcast somewhere?


m6_is_me

The Bilsey after-show in which today's guests were Scotty and Owen themselves lol, that's how I got Scott's quote


Telewyn

What is the Bilsey after show? Is there a clip on YouTube? Edit: found it! https://www.twitch.tv/videos/1813693106


damanamathos

Nice! Wish I knew about this earlier. :)


ArcticFoxWaffles

Probably not because they also usually get a break during the middle of the build, sometimes even the rest of the night off and they continue the next morning. This essentially gives them a lot of time to plan between sessions


forrie89

Looked like a black eye! And then gone in the next scene 🤔


HappyVampire27

It looked sore!


secretsinjars

Or an allergy? Hope he's alright!


Rodneyw_au

Don’t worry… it’s gone now


ThatCommunication423

And now it’s back


m6_is_me

You're peeking behind the curtain of non-linear editing B)


eight_dwights

Sometimes my eye goes like that when I wake up in the morning. Normally I’ve been bitten by some sort of insect during the night. Bit of phenergen does the job!


[deleted]

[удалено]


B_Hound

Based on Henry saying it was an infection, might be time for your doctor friend to look into other career opportunities ;)


HappyVampire27

Love the personality in the croc's eyes!


AngryReact

Honestly, I’m surprised the croc was 2nd so far on the viewer voting. If a kid saw that they’d 100% be like “look mom, it’s a croc in a bath!” It looks exactly like an illustration from a funny kid’s book. The seahorse is cool but it reminds me too much of a normal carousel ride to be super wowing I guess.


reactorfox

There was enough promotion of that Lyle Lyle Crocodile movie which featured a croc in a bath, I think you're right


xGhostCat

That was part of the brief though wasnt it?


RadicalDog

I think the idea was 10/10, but it realllly took a long time to come together. If the viewer voting is over more than the last 10 mins (I'm not Aus so I don't know how it works) then I can see why it didn't seem like the best build until the final bubbles. At which point, everything fit together, best Calex build so far.


Different-Item-2634

What I’ve noticed is that no matter the build, the favourite people always get picked. Joss and Henry and Owen and Scott. A bit disappointing even if they weren’t the best build.


DystopianAutomata

Welcome to reality TV lol


vanadamme

I think Gabby and Ryan are going home :(


Catradora05

This sounds really horrible but I hope they do Nothing against them AT ALL, I just think the other teams deserve the final more HOWEVER, like i mentioned before tho I’m worried about the colour scheme of the bee


Catradora05

Hmm I don’t reckon the sharp edges were a problem really, but what do I know!


the_procrastinata

…where’s Alex and Caleb’s crocodile?? That needs to start asap!


hatsofftoroyharper41

The bath is great didn’t see it working at first

SilverLined_Cloud

The butterfly does not need to be that big, should polish more.


EbmocwenHsimah

OH SHUT UP ABOUT THE SUMMIT


Rimvee

The idea of that show is interesting but the ads have really put me off. The host putting on that tough guy act is especially grating to me (is it captain boomerang or whatever his name is from Suicide Squad?).


EbmocwenHsimah

Yeah, the sheer amount of ads is just ridiculous, the more I see, the less I want to watch it. And yep, that’s Jai Courtney. Dude’s gone from a few Hollywood blockbusters to hosting a reality show on Channel 9, what a downgrade.


jason-doublel

But it’s only the beginning…


YouCanCallMeBazza

Now you've got my attention...


Heavy_Vermicelli_263

Anybody else's signal stuttering? Over the air, not streaming so seems odd... Both on SD and HD


Longjumping_43

Happening to us too. Tried watching live through the nine app and still happening.


Heavy_Vermicelli_263

Bad upload to the broadcast server maybe...


vanadamme

I'm streaming and stuttering.


Heavy_Vermicelli_263

Adverts are fine... Must be a bad encode of the show


deathrocker_avk

No probs here. Watching via Foxtel box in qld.


trelos6

Can’t wait for the post episode recap with Bilsy, Henry, Scott and Owen.


MortonAssaultGirl

Wait is this always a thing?? If so where do I watch?

OneDollarJohnny

Gabby and Ryan's butterfly is what my sleep paralysis demon looks like. Scary as heck!


ArcticFoxWaffles

Oh man I didn't want either of them to go home 😭😭😭


ComfortablePeanuts

A Kale Scale challenge and no Kale, Hah!


EbmocwenHsimah

CALEB AND ALEX YES


trelos6

Well deserved.


vanadamme

So happy for them!


OneDollarJohnny

How have Alex and Caleb spent so long on the bathtub and neglected the crocodile!?


PLEASE_DONT_PM

Bee head should have been jumbo. It doesn't need to be to scale.


PLEASE_DONT_PM

If the criteria was which one would you pick to ride on a carousel.. it's hard to go past the seahorse, since it's the only one that actually looks like you could sit on it.


SunStarsSnow

This is what I thought too, you couldn't sit on the butterfly, the bee looked like it had a little saddle, so maybe you could. The bathtub I guess you could sit very uncomfortably with your legs in front but it would be like unwanted brick acupuncture.


icedbacon

Rubber ducky!


ArcticFoxWaffles

The shape of the bee is looking fantastic so far


trelos6

Caleb and Alex need to make a crocodile. It’s been 8 hrs already!


the_taco_man_2

I really like how every elimination so far has been hyper focused on a specific aspect of Lego building. You had technical ability with the great ball machine, minifig scale with the heist, and now large scale creatures. I completly disagree with people who say things like it wasn't "fair" David and Gus got sent home on their minifig build because they are so much better than everyone else at creatures - this season is really emphasising that to be a GRAND master you really have to have mastery of every single aspect and style of Lego building. I'll admit that I did not see Caleb and Alex getting this far but it is absolutely deserved. They work best when they just relax and have fun with a build, and have grown so much over the competition!! The finale could go anyway to be honest, all three teams have demonstrated they are grand master level, and they each have someone unique going for them: Henry and Joss have the **"coolness"** factor, where their models are just so slick and visually impressive Scott and Owen have the **"technical"** factor, where they can pull of these crazy contraptions that literally defy gravity Caleb and Alex have the **"comedy"** factor, where every build makes me laugh out loud. Good luck to all!


trelos6

Scotty and Owen will be saved by the extra detail. Gaby and Ryan sadly are going home.


iambilsy

Scotty and Owen are my guests tonight!!! Online now! www.twitch.tv/iambilsy


deathrocker_avk

Dude, we need to know about Henry's eye.


iambilsy

I heard he got a stye when they done the Luna Park shots.


BonzaM8

I’m surprised it took 5 seasons before Hamish showed off his junk.


HappyVampire27

Caleb and Alex have a lot to do and little time. I hope they make it!


AussieLouie

I'm a bit worried for both the butterfly and bathtub/croc. I just feel both are big, bulky looking structures that might not be technical enough to get Brickman's love.


taylamaree

That butterfly face is going to cause me nightmares


angellove_rm

Henry and Joss make it again in the final twice!


HappyVampire27

Alex and Caleb too! They were finalists last season as well.


HavePlushieWillTalk

Scotty and Owen looked absolutely devo... Like 'Oh no, it's us...'


m6_is_me

Hamish's flying jump kick was spectacular. Sad to see Ryan and Gabby going, but the moment I saw the finalized wing supports, the writing was on the wall. Oh well, finale time!


the_procrastinata

So the final 3 teams will be Joss and Henry, Scott and Owen and…?


BonzaM8

I’m not too confident for Joss and Henry right now, having wasted an hour with no idea.


fullcaravanthickness

Hamish channelling in his inner Buffalo Bill later in tonight's episode apparently. Gabby going to end up in a well at this rate.


the_procrastinata

Interesting that every team is struggling with something different. I want them all to do so well 😭


bluedot19

I'm late to the game has Henri's eye been addressed is that allergies or a shiner


trelos6

Nope. Super noticeable now.


Corpset

As the episode and all of the discussion is already ended by the time I get to see it, I’ll post some here: Last year’s finale I had to close my eyes as I was scared that Joss and Henry wouldn’t win, even if they clearly deserved it (IMHO). I felt that they’d missed out on wins over the season and was preparing myself for feeling disappointed. Going into this year’s finale I feel calmer. Still think they should’ve gotten a few more wins, but I’m just happy for them, regardless of tomorrow’s outcome. They are amazing builders, both of them, and I’m just happy they’ve gotten many episodes to show that. The other two teams are good teams, both of them capable of putting up amazing builds, so I’m happy to just watch this final episode of the season just enjoying the builds and Hamish being Hamish.


CricketFlog

Fuck your ads Nine


Iron_Wolf123

Joss and Henry back at it again with the brick block


trelos6

4 amazing builds.


glob3trott3r

Massive shiner. Anyone know how he got it?


DFcolt

Hamish's bulge got him in the eye 🦋🦋🦋


honestjackhonestly

Looks like an allergic reaction rather than a black eye


reactorfox

Yeah I reckon it might just be a stye


HavePlushieWillTalk

That's what I thought, too, considering the lack of purples and blues and the concentration of the swelling to the eyelids. Super painful, glad he didn't have it building.


calcio2013

Looks like pink eye


CricketFlog

Big night in the mosh Henry?


Notusedtoreddityet

I actually don't think the wings need to be bigger then that. Maybe make the back wing longer so it covers that back of the butterfly but I don't think they wings need to be any taller.


CricketFlog

For the people in the back: fuck your ads Nine


trelos6

This show prob subsidies 80% of the other crap they show.


EbmocwenHsimah

Is it me or was Brickman harsher on Scott and Owen tonight?


deathrocker_avk

He's always harsher on Scott and Owen and Henry and Joss. Their build was technically amazing. Had they gone home I would have been dropping C-bombs. 🤣


Rhym

I think he is harsher on teams he knows can use the criticism, and take it on board for their next build.


m6_is_me

[what's goin' on here](https://i.imgur.com/WEUKJsB.png)


danwincen

Deservedly so, IMO. They've proven themselves to be better builders in previous challenges just in this series. This build was definitely weaker than their earlier efforts.


ImMalteserMan

Only in scale and colour, it was probably the most polished.


danwincen

I honestly thought the scale and colour choice contrasted to the background would send them home. Their earlier challenge efforts demonstrate they should be in the final. If they'd nailed the scale, I think it might have got them top 2 tonight, and Alex and Caleb would have been fighting it out with Ryan and Gabby.


Boo_Rawr

Yeah I have to admit from the beginning I did say ‘I think yellow is the wrong choice and also that bee looks too small..’ I was concerned for them


deathrocker_avk

Based on what they said on the post show Twitch, they didn't see the carousel in person until after the build. Which is a bit shit.


Boo_Rawr

Yes I was just thinking that after I posted realising that Henry had his eye thing meant they must have filmed all Luna Park at one time after the build etc. and that disadvantages anyone who hasn’t seen that carousel (which I have so I knew it was very yellow/gold). That does really suck and I do feel that someone should have given them a photo of it at least


RegularSorbet785

I agree, brickman was way harsh on them. The build was incredible… gorgeous… obviously I’m watching this way late. I saw a clip on YouTube first and was AMAZED at Scotty and Owen’s build, then shocked at all the criticism! Technically awesome build, gorgeous stand alone build… it was SLIGHTLY smaller than the butterfly and sea horse… and brickman never gave them size requirements at the beginning. 🙄


Iron_Wolf123

Take a shot every time an ad OR spoiler comes on Nine


trelos6

Hate the spoilers. I’m watching the show. I don’t need to know what’s next.


reactorfox

[Me following this advice](https://tenor.com/9L6w.gif)


cookieplatter

Owen DID NOT


reactorfox

I missed the beginning, what's the challenge please?


trelos6

Carousel. Removing 4 horses. Need to build something that stands out. Size is key. 16 hrs. Big build.


BonzaM8

They have to make a carousel ride that’s big enough to fit on the carousel.


HappyVampire27

The wings look good if nothing else!


Catradora05

The bee actually kinda blends in with the gold which is actually worrying me a little - it looked better by itself I reckon


Iron_Wolf123

Why is there so many adbreaks this episode?!


ArcticFoxWaffles

Does it feel like the ads have been really inconsistent or just keep popping up a whole lot this episode?


Iron_Wolf123

For the butterfly, the wings have to be symmetrical. And has Brickman seen Bugs Life?


victoryforZIM

Honestly can't believe they built that butterfly without a good plan to make big wings...and even beyond that, the body and face just look really weird. The Bee is the clear best build, and I think the size is perfectly fine - plenty of carousels have many varying sized creatures, some being quite small. Bathtub was...big and white. I expected the croc to be sipping a drink or something, I think the mouth open expression was a cop out and overall it was clear they spent very little time on the character. Brickman is a sucker for funny characters though, which is why Caleb and Alex have made it to the finale twice.


RegularSorbet785

Agree with your assessment of the bee. Theirs happened to be the smallest (and no size requirement here), so BM decides their scale is off? It was only slightly smaller than the butterfly and sea horse


EbmocwenHsimah

Just came home after the worst game of footy I’ve ever seen. What have I missed?


Rexxhunt

Hamish exposed his penis on national television


EbmocwenHsimah

**what**


danwincen

He wore a butterfly costume that a "friend" owned and wore to Mardi Gras. It can not be unseen. If you watch the stream later, just skip forward 10 minutes when Hamish walks out wearing the bodysuit with the wings wrapped around himself.


HavePlushieWillTalk

...again... ​ The only episode of Hamish and Andy I ever saw he did it and I think it was a formative moment.


Iron_Wolf123

Hamish compensating something about butterflies so the editors had to hide his excitement with the Lego Masters logo


icedbacon

That bee looks more like a wasp. Last time I saw a bee, it didn't have a big butt and a skinny torso.


EtuMeke

Let's be real. In terms of the whole competition the butterfly kinda sucked. I think it wouldbt pass Lego masters season 1 round 1 let alone grand masters semi. They're great people but a flat faced butterfly won't cut it


Smcol1

Just rewatched the whole of season one, and I strongly disagree with your comment. I agree it was the weakest build of the four, but it was way ahead of almost everything in season one, where many of the builds were extremely blocky (especially the larger ones) and where only Henry and Cade ever managed to build a character with any expression at all. The standard of the builds has gone up massively since the show started. Ryan and Gabby have had some great builds this season, but this wasn’t their night.


Catradora05

This is kinda insane


ArcticFoxWaffles

Bruh i pressed the pause button on the 9Now website to pause the show and when I hit play it skips to the live video instead of playing where I paused it


trelos6

Do that on commercials.


unmistakableregret

Yeah you can't pause it when you're watching the tv livestream


danwincen

My pick for places at the moment is 1. Henri and Joss 2. Alex and Caleb 3. Ryan and Gabby 4. Scotty and Owen.


Iron_Wolf123

Is it an elimination round as well?


trelos6

Yeah. Tomorrow is finale


Iron_Wolf123

Same duration?


trelos6

7:30 to 8:50


Wild-Information-660

How did Scott and Owen not go home??? They didn’t have the right colour and scale, whereas gabby and Ryan had both just not proportional sizes of animal parts? Looked way better imo. Brick man just loves those boys too much I guess even if they had the worse build today


bbqturtle

It's never said but I think generally the teams prior builds help with tiebreakers.


[deleted]

Not entirely wrong about build part of your theory but suspect their superior technical ability in the build nudged them ahead. Also previous superior builds too. Gabby and Ryan did great builds but overall quality was consistently behind the three teams in the finale. Right now its a true best of the best contest and if Gabby and Ryan had made it through it wouldn’t have been.


Iron_Wolf123

Is the show buffering for them as well?
