It害羞草研究所檚 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害羞草研究所檙e just watching it now. Last Wednesday they saw the airing of their Week Three challenge 害羞草研究所� 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.

害羞草研究所淣obody has ever done that before 害羞草研究所� that害羞草研究所檚 a crazy challenge,害羞草研究所� said Emily. 害羞草研究所淭ypically you don害羞草研究所檛 build LEGO to see it smashed.害羞草研究所�

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害羞草研究所檙e not talking about how the series turns out, except to say that they had a great time.

害羞草研究所淭he people we met on the show are like family now,害羞草研究所� said Emily.

They were fans of Arrested Development, and of Canadian actor Will Arnett who played George Oscar Bluth.

害羞草研究所淗e害羞草研究所檚 exactly like that (character),害羞草研究所� said Emily. 害羞草研究所淲e were laughing constantly.害羞草研究所�

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).

害羞草研究所淚t害羞草研究所檚 amazing their genius ideas, and the things they can create,害羞草研究所� he said.

Now he owns about two million bricks, and still loves to get yet another new LEGO box.

害羞草研究所淚t害羞草研究所檚 like a LEGO store in his house,害羞草研究所� explained his sister.

Emily also still enjoys putting together LEGO sets, which she finds as therapeutic as other people do knitting or colouring.

害羞草研究所淭he puzzle aspect of it was always really fun to me,害羞草研究所� she said.

The LEGO-loving siblings found that during the challenge they could disagree, or one shoot down the other害羞草研究所檚 ideas, without any bruised egos, bickering, or silent treatments.

害羞草研究所淪he害羞草研究所檚 a great teammate 害羞草研究所� we get along better than anyone else,害羞草研究所� said David.

Now they are enjoying reliving the competition, as they watch it on television.

害羞草研究所淚t害羞草研究所檚 almost like watching a memory bank,害羞草研究所� said Emily. 害羞草研究所淲e were laughing all the time 害羞草研究所� it was so much fun doing it.害羞草研究所�

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.

害羞草研究所淏ut also being a little wacky is good.害羞草研究所�
