Brickset Bonusball - Nil Demotes Edition (09 February 2019 Draw)

SilentModeSilentMode Member Posts: 586
in Everything else LEGO
Hello folks, I've been asked to do this week's "bonus ball" draw.

Just this week I've had to move (a lot of) stuff around, and I came to the realisation I have to get rid of (a lot of) stuff. I haven't yet decided on the prize for this draw, but it will be something interesting from my hoard.

So here goes...

I've become a fan of the original Iron Chef, a cooking show where guest chefs go head to head with an in-house "Iron Chef" to create the best dishes with a theme ingredient. I wouldn't mind seeing a LEGO equivalent on TV, though I'd have no idea how it would work. Who would you want to see appear on the show, either as an Iron Chef or a competitor?

To enter, simply add your answer to this thread. The first 59 entrants will be allocated a number, and the bonus ball drawn in the main UK lottery on Saturday 9th February will decide who wins. Entry is open to everybody.

    I would want to see @DeMontes or others from the New Elementary crew compete. Their stuff is always impressive.

    I think it would be entertaining to see Jeremy Vine as a contestant. I have no idea whether he is any good at cooking, but whatever he ends up blathering about during the programme would probably be funny.

    First of all, thanks for hosting! I've never won the Brickset bonus ball, so here's hoping this will be the first time. 
    OK... I've never heard of Iron Chef, but then again I hardly watch television anyhow. Still, I'd love to see Francois Geurts, head chef of FG Restaurant (**) in Rotterdam, go up against the Iron Chef as a competitor.

    I would like to see both @Pitfall69 and @Legoboy competing against each other...

    I’ll watch anything with Chris Hemsworth so that would be my choice.

    Jamie Berard, Mark Stafford and Markus Rollbühler vs Naomi & Stuart Crawshaw and Ed Diment if a 3 v 3 format would work. ;o)

    Oooh cool question. I think the 'Iron Chef' or 'Iron Lego designer' in your case should be definlty one of the in-house designers and as competitors I'd like to see: Rowan Atkinson (for the laughs), Richard Armitage (for the great voice while he's building) and Helena Bonham Carter (cause she's fab).
    Thanks for hosting!

    As they're both celebrities and have a known interest in Lego, why not David Beckham and Ed Sheeran as contestants? 

    Not that I have a particular interest in either...they're just the first celebrities I could think of associated to Lego.

    Brian Blessed. Just to hear his stories, and see how animated he gets.

    I'll say Bill Bailey, because he's usually pretty funny...

    But, I'm not sure I'd be paricularly bothered about who the contestants were, what they were doing would be of greater interest to me.

    The odd component challenge.
    This would be strange or really rare components, "odd" parts or parts that were only ever available in one or a small number of sets, contestants have to use multiples of it to make something.
    This part:
    https://brickset.com/parts/6065019/trap-w-hole-%C3%B84-85-crosshole

    (that I just discovered today) seems like a good candidate.

    The mass component challenge.
    The contestants must make something using more than 10K standard commodity parts. Different theme each week, 8hrs to do it.

    Or similar sorts of specified challenges.

    Thanks for hosting @SilentMode

    If we're talking like doing Lego building, I'd like to see Jangbricks on a show like that. He's a pretty good MOCer, so it would be cool to see what he would be able to do on the fly.

    Donald Trump..because it would be the best food EVER!

    Jeremy Clarkson.

    Second choice would be Jamie Oliver as he needs to learn to cook, but first choice has to be Gordon Ramsay for the entertainment factor...

    Rhett here was an Iron Builder contest on Flickr which was a lot of fun - https://www.flickr.com/groups/[email protected]/ - unfortunately it hasn’t been run for a couple of years,but it was great. So I’ll say anyone who featured on that ;-)

    Thanks for hosting @SilentMode

    I certainly wouldn’t want to see any of the celebs who appeared on the Christmas edition of LEGO Masters trying to build again.  But wouldn’t mind seeing what the late Professor Heinz Wolff would have come up with.

    Russell Howard because he's always willing to try anything and is (in my opinion) fricking hilarious!!

  • starwars4everstarwars4ever Member Posts: 489
    Definitely Gordon Ramsay!
  • BrickByBrickBrickByBrick Member Posts: 747
    The cast of the Lego Movie could be an entertaining tie-in

    Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall… 

    I was a great fan of his during the early 'River Cottage' years; a work colleague even got me a signed photo (and made me a portable 'shrine' which I still have somewhere!).

    I’d like to see David Platt and Paul McGrath, two Villa legends reminiscing about the old glory days...

  • eMJeeNLeMJeeNL Member Posts: 789
    Jamie B as Iron Chef, and Jimmy Carr, Clarkson, Bill Bailey and Allen Davies as contestants would yield some fun i’d say.
  • pxchrispxchris Member Posts: 2,388
    Thanks for hosting!

    Another fun twist would be to have celebrity contestants that have had minifigures made of them - such as Chris Pratt, Orlando Bloom,  and Benedict Cumberbatch.

    I'd like to see Padma Lakshmi, host of Top Chef. She gets to judge other people, so it'd be fun to have the tables turned!

    I am not a fan of the Iron Chef, although I did enjoy the LEGO video.....so I have no clue who I would want......Kevin Hinkle maybe?
  • khopewosinkhopewosin Member Posts: 101
    I havn't seen Iron Chef in ages.. I would say Alvin Leung?
  • SeijiAmasawaSeijiAmasawa Member Posts: 265
    I’ll pick Gordon Ramsay for the colorful language and Nigella Lawson because she makes everything seem decadent.

    Julia Childs - just for the polite trash-talking.

    I’ll say Chris Pratt and Charlie Day going head to head. Would be entertaining.

    Everyone involved with the Brexit negotiations.
    Not because I want to see them cook, I just want them nowhere near the negotiations.

    Thanks for the host

    Probably Gordon Ramsay vs. Paula Deen in a building contest
  • im2cre8ivim2cre8iv Member Posts: 168
    Martha Stewart - I wonder if she could make something without talking about each step along the way
