It香蕉视频直播檚 tough to be a television LEGO genius when Will Arnett is cracking you up on set, but that was the challenge for a brother-sister team from the Lower Mainland.
The Canadian actor who is known for his roles on Arrested Development and BoJack Horseman is the producer and host of LEGO Masters, a TV show that brings people with a passion for the iconic plastics bricks into a competition for a $100,000 prize.
David Guedes, 36, is a LEGO lifer who successfully auditioned for the show, and for his partner chose his sister Emily Guedes, 34. The show was finished shooting some six months ago, but they香蕉视频直播檙e just watching it now. Last Wednesday they saw the airing of their Week Three challenge 香蕉视频直播 to create a LEGO bull riding character to mount an actual mechanical bull.
They came up with Toby the Birthday Pig, who it turned out was not in the saddle for long.
香蕉视频直播淣obody has ever done that before 香蕉视频直播 that香蕉视频直播檚 a crazy challenge,香蕉视频直播 said Emily. 香蕉视频直播淭ypically you don香蕉视频直播檛 build LEGO to see it smashed.香蕉视频直播
The next episode, which airs on Oct. 12 on CTV, will see the contestants building a tree house, with their younger selves in mind, which must be built in real trees.
They香蕉视频直播檙e not talking about how the series turns out, except to say that they had a great time.
香蕉视频直播淭he people we met on the show are like family now,香蕉视频直播 said Emily.
They were fans of Arrested Development, and of Canadian actor Will Arnett who played George Oscar Bluth.
香蕉视频直播淗e香蕉视频直播檚 exactly like that (character),香蕉视频直播 said Emily. 香蕉视频直播淲e were laughing constantly.香蕉视频直播
David, now a Surrey resident, recalls their childhood in Maple Ridge with lots of LEGO in the scenes, starting with a big bucket of hand-me-down bricks when Emily was still just a baby.
Now she works as a nurse, and he is a Learning Centre Supervisor at Douglas College, but Lego has always been part of their lives. In 2016, David joined a BrickCon organization, for AFOLs (adult fans of LEGO).
香蕉视频直播淚t香蕉视频直播檚 amazing their genius ideas, and the things they can create,香蕉视频直播 he said.
Now he owns about two million bricks, and still loves to get yet another new LEGO box.
香蕉视频直播淚t香蕉视频直播檚 like a LEGO store in his house,香蕉视频直播 explained his sister.
Emily also still enjoys putting together LEGO sets, which she finds as therapeutic as other people do knitting or colouring.
香蕉视频直播淭he puzzle aspect of it was always really fun to me,香蕉视频直播 she said.
The LEGO-loving siblings found that during the challenge they could disagree, or one shoot down the other香蕉视频直播檚 ideas, without any bruised egos, bickering, or silent treatments.
香蕉视频直播淪he香蕉视频直播檚 a great teammate 香蕉视频直播 we get along better than anyone else,香蕉视频直播 said David.
Now they are enjoying reliving the competition, as they watch it on television.
香蕉视频直播淚t香蕉视频直播檚 almost like watching a memory bank,香蕉视频直播 said Emily. 香蕉视频直播淲e were laughing all the time 香蕉视频直播 it was so much fun doing it.香蕉视频直播
David would encourage anyone thinking of an audition to get involved, and see how they stack up. He said most LEGO masters have some capacity for thinking like an engineer.
