Nerang Lego Masters contestant paired with series villain says he was ‘difficult to work with’

Viewers of Channel 9’s Lego Masters have reacted with fury to the treatment of a Gold Coast contestant by his teammate, with even the show’s hosts warning him about his behaviour.

LEGO villain Kale has been told “there’s no I in Lego” after being slammed for his treatment of Gold Coast teammate Adam ‘Bilsy’ Bilsborough in the opening episode of a Channel 9 show.

Viewers took to social media to express their anger after the Melburnian was seen to belittle Bilsy during the Lego Masters premiere.

In Sunday night’s show Kale and Bilsy’s build, entitled Hope, which was a tall art-decor skyscraper, impressed judge Ryan McNaught but caused tension after Kale, a “brick artist and toy photographer” steamrolled Bilsy’s ideas and “took over” the challenge.

McNaught even reprimanded Kale for not being a team player telling him “there is no I in Lego, Kale”.

In a previous interview with The Gold Coast Bulletin, Mr Bilsborough, 34, from Nerang said he was paired with teammate Kale during the audition process and referred to the partnership as “challenging”.

Viewers of Lego Masters went into meltdown on social media, slamming Melbourne contestants Kale’s inability to co-operate with teammate Adam ‘Bilsy’ Bilsborough.

“I had never met him before so it was hard to bring our different ideas together and learn how to work as a team,” he said.

“It was a fun learning experience but as you can imagine, it is challenging to work with someone you have never met before when people have different visions.
“It was something we had to work through and adapt.”
