Holders of the "Titanium Brick of Triumph", Rachael & Lexi, chose their song and all the songs for each team as songs were revealed at random from a 45 RPM jukebox record player.

  • Challenge: "Bridge Too Far" The seven teams had seven hours to create a bridge, a minimum of 50 bricks high, that can survive two independent shake plates. If more than one bridge can survive all 12 levels of shaking, then aesthetics will decide the winner. Holders of the "Titanium Brick of Triumph", Gene and Nick, had an advantage that was not revealed until two hours into the build. The advantage was giving out the "Necklace of Nuisance" which requires the holders to complete an annoying task. Gene and Nick chose Branko and Max to have the "Necklace of Nuicance" and the team had to either sort LEGO or Max had to eat four bananas before the team could continue their build. At the five hour mark, Branko and Max had the choice of finding a blank LEGO head in a box of LEGO heads or to eat four bananas. Again Max chose to eat the bananas.
