Challenge: "Break the Ice" Each of the eight teams has 14 hours to build on a round plate something that looks "cool" smashing through an ice field. It must be strong enough to withstand breaking through the ice. All builds made it through the ice, so the result was based on the story created by the build.
Advantage: Playing for "The Big Brick" which will confer advantages in a future challenge.
