TV This is Lego Masters
I declare myself an absolute fan of
Lego
, so having a program like
Lego Masters
is a dream come true for me. In fact, after seeing the premiere of
Lego Masters
last night
I have dreamed of
Lego
pieces of
all colors, with their assemblies, with figurines, with their mechanisms, with towers, with bridges ... Like Lego, you will not like
Lego Masters
, nor will anyone believe that
Lego Masters
is a
MasterChef
with
Lego
pieces
. No no no.
Lego masters
It is the example that you can make a completely different television and that you like it, really like it. For this, the recipe may seem simple, but it is not. Bringing what seems distant and having a magical master of ceremonies:
Roberto Leal
.
The public has already passed sentence and the criticism is unanimous:
Lego Masters
has liked it. And it wasn't easy, far from it. The format was not a problem because it is widely known, the problem was to make something interesting that, as much as everyone knows about it, not everyone has a passion for it.
Lego
are
probably, along with
Playmobil
or
Barbies
, the most popular toys. But it is one thing to know them and another thing is to turn them into a television program and broadcast it in prime time. Well
Shine Iberia
,
Macarena Rey
and all his team have done it again. If anyone could, it was them. If anyone could bring to Spain such a complicated format to arrive and make it arrive and do it so well, it is them.
First, the casting. Not only do you have to find eight couples who control Lego beyond taking the instruction booklet and build what comes in the box, but find eight couples who know how to create a completely Lego world from scratch. Second, that these couples not only have knowledge of
Lego
but also, look what I am going to say, engineering, design, mechanics ... Because if there is something that
Lego Masters
discovered to us last night, it
is that
Lego
is a way of life, a Lifestyle. Each and every contestant has been hooked on
Lego
all their lives
. And I'm not talking at home, I'm talking about associations, competitions, projects, designs ... A lifetime dedicated to
Lego
, as is.
They call you
Lego
and you think about building a Millennium Falcon, a car, a spaceship or any of the thousands of sets they have. However, in
Lego Masters
what they are looking for is a couple who knows how to create from scratch, who imagines a Lego world and who with their hands, their imagination and their knowledge brings that world to life. The word Lego comes from two Danish words
"leg godt"
, which means "to play well" and that is the basis for
Lego Masters
, to play well and show that, although to build the wonders that were seen last night it takes a long way to go, Lego They are not just little pieces to assemble, Lego is to understand the game beyond the game and to understand it well.
That is why
Lego Masters
needs a presenter like
Roberto Leal
. He is the fashionable boy, there is no doubt about that, but he is much more, like
Lego
.
Roberto Leal
is the perfect common thread for a contest that may not attract attention from the beginning to rise to the top and bring it closer to all audiences, neophytes and experts. Give rhythm to a difficult competition. In each program the contestants face two tests.
Last night, for example, for the first test, which consisted of building an amusement park by giving each couple an area of said park so that they could let their imagination and knowledge fly, they had 15 hours. 15 hours! For them maybe 15 hours building with
Lego
is nothing, for ordinary mortals it is a real pass. And it is that in
Lego Masters
all are extreme fans of
Lego
. "Yes, yes, I have spent more than 15 hours building
Legos
and I only left it to go pee or eat." The one who speaks is not a contestant is
Eva Hache
, member of the jury, along with
Pablo González
,
Lego
designer
.
Who would have imagined this from
Eva Hache
?
Well this is
Lego
.
The magic of Roberto Leal in Lego Masters
And it is that geek side of the jury and contestants that
Roberto Leal
compensates perfectly.
The difficult makes it easy, the heavy makes it enjoyable, the distant makes it close and, above all, the incredible ability it has to connect with the public.
He does it in
Pasapalabra
, he does it in
The Challenge
and now he also does it in
Lego Masters
.
Last night, during the first test, when the contestants were going crazy not only to build decent attractions but to fit them into an area in which a tram rail commanded,
Roberto Leal
appeared
with his girl from the newly built curve and relaxed the atmosphere inside and out. For a magical program, you had to have the most magical one, and that is undoubtedly
Roberto Leal
.
The choice of the star presenter of the moment has been the greatest success, but so has a jury that at first may not seem to fit, but that together with
Roberto Leal
are the missing pieces in this fascinating construction.
Pablo González
and
Eva Hace
represent the Lego world. On the one hand, there is
Pablo González
,
Lego
designer
, creator of what later reaches toy stores and purchases packed in a box, and a lover to the bars of each of the millions of pieces that make up
Lego
. It's the expert, the technical part. Then there's
Eva Hache
. She represents
Lego
lovers
Because yes, without having any special knowledge we stand in front of a
Lego
and get to work, those who can spend hours assembling pieces without even being aware that they have to sleep or eat.
Eva Hache
is the playful part.
They both demonstrated last night at the
Lego Masters
premiere
that you can have a talent show and be constructive. Having
Lego
could not be otherwise. There was not a single one of his evaluations that was not accompanied by an apprenticeship, an advice, a word of encouragement. Even for the losing couple last night,
Jero
and
Sandra
, after two disastrous tests, the words of both judges were, I would even say, that of admiration. How can you not like such a program!
Because to all this we must add how incredible it is to see how from a cluster of pieces they can create such spectacular scenarios and worlds. In the first test, that of the amusement park, real wonders were seen.
Flying chairs
, a
water park
even with moving waves, a simulator that replicated the movements of real simulators, a
Ferris wheel
,
shuttles
, even what the judges considered the simplest, but that simply has little for the common people. mortals: a roller coaster. All this joined at the end and fitted together perfectly creating a real
Lego
amusement park
. The faces of
Roberto Leal
When you see those buildings, they are probably the faces of all of us who were at home.
I have to admit that I had more time my mouth was open than closed.
The rivalry also lives on in Lego Masters
The second test wasn't mucus turkey either. After winning the first test, those who already stand out well above the rest,
Ángeles
and
Dani
, mother and son, were the ones who marked the path of the rest of the contestants in the elimination test.
Dani
is an extraordinary case of
Lego
. I don't know how many contests he's won or how many years he's been hooked on the Lego world, but his capabilities are incredible. What he built in the amusement park, with three mechanical attractions each more difficult, his methodology, his perfection, his imagination and his knowledge are almost, almost, almost at the same level as that of
Pablo González
. In addition, so many competitions have made him a born player and he already has his main rivals well marked, to whom he delivered the most difficult object to replicate with
Lego
pieces
: an ancient telephone with its earpiece, its number wheel and its cable. All curved pieces, the most difficult to build with
Lego
.
A play that was not masterful because
Jero
and
Sandra
were clear that they were the ones with the lowest level of the eight couples. If it were not for that, they would have killed one of the strongest first time:
Víctor
and
Stefan
and
Claudia
and
Ana
. Despite the difficulty, they were able to resolve the mess with dignity. Just watching them look for the necessary parts, think about how to get those curves, assemble, measure, design, choose ... It seems tremendous to me.
Lego Masters
has only one catch: it is an ideal contest for children to see, but children cannot see it at that time. It started after
El Hormiguero
, almost touching 11 p.m. at night, and although the program itself is not long and is very short as it only has two tests and does not go around unnecessary elements, it did not end until after midnight. 01.00 in the morning. I insist the program has a montage to which I would give a prize. It does not lengthen by lengthening, it focuses on what it focuses on, the tests, despite being so long, are impeccably cut and assembled, but despite all this it is not a program for
prime time
because it is a program that deserves to be children can see it. Yes, it can be seen in delayed by
Atresplayer
, but it would be great to see it as a family.
For a simple reason that last night
Florentino Fernández made
visible very well.
Florentino Fernández
, invited to the last test of the
Lego Masters
premiere
, said that when he was little he did not know what
Legos
were
because there were no resources at home, and that it was with his son when he discovered the
Lego
world
of which he is now a true fan.
The truth is that who does not have a Lego story, by excess or by default.
I remember my first
Lego
.
It was a submarine whose torpedoes had the face of a shark.
My best friend gave it to me for my 8th birthday.
My father was (and is) a denier for
Lego
and for each piece that he had to assemble with me, another 10 flew off.
It cost me, but I managed to mount it and it spent decades in the entrance of my parents' house as if it were a great treasure.
Because if there is something that
Lego Masters
gives
is to return to childhood, it is to imagine, it is to create, it is to travel to another world.
