going to make a Nintendo switch the
whole thing's fly you can make the
screen green hey editors put a button

whatever they build they begin to
brainstorm what sort of item they'd want

colors got eliminated I just have to
eliminate white cuz if shoes do not have
white I will do a Japanese Temple for a

how many Legos we have do you know what
you're doing I'm going to make an anime
character because I really want to go to
Japan I am going to create a beach so I
can get sent to I don't know maybe the
Bahamas or something and even after I
just explained the rules of the
challenge I noticed someone not
following the rules this would have been
such a Nintendo s wait David why are you
holding that Jake get that out of his
hands these are mine I was also going to
use these so it looks like McKenzie has
our materials uh oh my
goodness we're all cleaning this up
later with so much on the line I wanted
to know who Michelle's most feared
competitor was my biggest competition is
David or Ben because Ben and David have
both won before she has haven't seen my
piece yet the contestants then got
straight to work on their pieces and
Legos seem to be getting everywhere I
keep getting Lego bricks stuck in my
shoe I'm going to make a Nintendo switch
with a Princess Peach castle I think I
can use the gray and the dark gray I
hate building with Legos but I think I
have a chance of winning this one before
the first mini challenge I decided to
let everyone place a bet everyone just
for fun I'm going to let you place a bet
on someone that you think will win Jake
who do you think will win Ben Ben who do
you think will win David Ben David W
David who do you think will win B if the
person you bet on wins you get $100
which brings me to our first mini
challenge everyone come with me outside
I just started all right everyone for
this first mini challenge we're playing
a game of hideand-seek but to switch
things up I had an idea you guys aren't
hiding I'm hiding and the first person
to find me wins these three cards in my
hands everyone face this way and close
your eyes and David will come grab you
when I'm ready put your cameras down so
you can't look to see where Zach's
running while looking for a hiding place
it seemed like the artist only had one
thing on their mind and it wasn't
finding me I so bad I need to go to the
restroom I also need to pee first thing
I'm going to do is drink them by uning
my
car quiet we always forget to go to the
bathroom because we're always working so
hard and diligently know we're so
diligent I'm going to need your help on
this so I'm going to hide in here and I
need you to stack it back
up cover it up yeah I was super proud of
this hiding spot and thought there was
absolutely no way the artist would find
me we are ready to get started all right
all right let's go find Z time to find
Zach time to find Z why is everyone
running but it turns out one of the
secrets was a bit more clever than I
anticipated okay not in there I also
feel like Zach could change hiding spots
think he's upstairs he wouldn't be in
here would he what the you already found
me go wait I found him help what already
the cie that was so fast I was like I
would have hidden there Z you suck J
McKenzie I can't even be mad at that
that's really good and what Mackenzie
was about to find out is that these
advantages are huge I can't believe she
found me so fast that was such a good
hiding spot I'm not going to lie I'm not
too happy you found me that fast I was
hoping it would go for at least a couple
minutes but these three are
yours what is it anyone's help for 30
minutes be you bet on me take away one
more color from one person and an
immunity
car since taking away another color is a
big punishment McKenzie had to be very
strategic about this gosh this is really
hard I don't know you know that bean is
better than me at this the fun boot only
one cuz you told me how to do it think
about that I don't know okay just give
me a
second life's tough for McKenzie
however despite her huge Advantage
McKenzie decided to be a little bit more
merciful I already have a bed on Bean if
I Target you then I widen my chances of
getting money there's a lot of thinking
David I'm taking away GRE period on top
of black you also can't use any shade of
green that's fine I can handle it that
was probably the longest decision that
has ever been made in a craft video I
really wanted to use green thank you Ken
thank you Ken for not punishing me too
bad with that out of the way everyone
continued to make progress on their Lego
art pieces this is my piece so far it's
already better than my last piece I'm
coming for the DB but while working so
fast they still have to make sure they
weren't using their band colors I forgot
that I decided to take yellow away from
my piece I started using yellow to fill
in my piece and now I have to take it
off it might take a while for this next
mini challenge the winning artist will
receive an advantage and the loser will
receive a disadvantage everyone we're
around 2 hours into this challenge I
have done nothing no Michelle you have
that whatever that is for this challenge
we're going to see who finishes first
but also you don't want to finish last

thing wins and the last person loses

take a seat reach behind you and pull
out two bricks

colors are you cannot use for the rest
of the video

choose one brick wao I thought it was
only it was M it mattered if you were
last close your eyes and choose one
please be red gray okay you can't use
like gray anymore after dishing out the
punishments it was time to let Ben know
what his Advantage was at any point
before the final hour of the competition
you can grab two of the unicorns and
throw it at someone's piece anytime it
can't be in the final 60 minutes I'm
just going to Chuck it okay with his
advantage in mind Ben let the other
contestants continue to work on their
pieces while I checked in on everyone a
little later all right Jake how are we

looks cool so far thank you okay
McKenzie that is a h huge building if

so far I made it too big I'm not going
to fin so far you have a belly it's
going to take forever to build Mich you
know for Legos you don't need to fill in
everything in here right really you can
essentially make pillars like this and
just connect it like this and everything
inside can be empty after getting a
progress update I began to prepare for
the next challenge for this mini
challenge I'm currently hiding a ton of
Lego bricks around the house like over
here I'm going to see who can find the
most I've hidden these Lego bcks all
around the house it's going to be a huge
Advantage for whoever gets the most and
I guess a disadvantage for whoever gets
the least let's go see who finds it all
right everyone take a cup and pass it
down but as I passed out the cups I
noticed some of the artists forgot about
the colors they couldn't use wait Ben
what color could you not use

allowed to use that you have a dark gray
over there and as you remember that
eliminated so you have to take it out I

your eyes
David reach behind your back take out
one Lego brick Jupiter please David you
cannot use that color for the rest of
the
challenge okay and that's just gray all
right Michelle choose one Lego
brick yes all right Michelle you cannot
use blue for the rest of the challenge
this color roulette is so brutal but I'm
loving it I'm so lucky that I did not
pick gray or white cuz that's all of
tooro I knew there weren't any 4x2 two
whites and Grays so I made sure to pick
a block that had a floor by two and just
so happened to be blue as everyone
continued to work I began to build a
mini structure for the next challenge so
I just built a really random Lego
structure they're going to have to
replicate it with no instructions we're
going to see who the first person to
finish is and who the last
is hey
everyone behind me is a random Lego
structure and you guys are going to have
to replicate it perfectly you cannot
touch this structure all right you guys
may start don't get
last all right this time I made a much
more simple structure than last time
yeah all
right order matters for this don't get
last oh my God David and Ben are so

it is that it nope I recommend you take

last however you're not screwed just yet
cuz I'm actually giving all of you guys
a choice over here I have five
punishments and the order you choose
them is the order in which you want all
right the punishments are replicate a
piece five times that one get dunked in
the pool 100 push-ups and choose two
colors from cup to remove and then the
last one is just blank so there's no
punishment I'll choose the blank one you

second pick if you choose 100 push-ups

will pick um 100 push-ups then and then
I will use my 30 minutes and being can

deal Jake you get third pick I'll just
do dunk in the pool because that'll be
the least amount of time well I have to
pick the replicat a piece but I hate
doing that oh no I'm sorry Michelle all
right Michelle and unfortunately for you
you need to choose two colors from a
cup my God I'm literally going to cry if
I get white a gray and since I realized
Michelle had a strategy to avoid certain
colors in the cup I made sure to only
include one by one bricks this time
around this should be interesting close
your eyes and reach behind your back oh
my gosh Z reach behind and choose two
did you choose two yeah all right
