⭐ My review

The challenges feel genuinely dangerous and visually entertaining.
Drama: 4/5
The Old vs New rivalry adds an extra competitive layer instead of making the episode purely about physical strength.
Contestant performances: 4/5
Jasmin stands out particularly well, while the elimination round creates plenty of suspense.

🏆 Overall verdict
Episode 4: 4.2/5 ⭐
Episode 4 is one of the stronger episodes so far. The Jasmin–Gaurav flying stunt and the elimination challenge are the biggest highlights, while the increasing pressure makes the competition more interesting. The season is clearly moving from introductory tasks into a much tougher phase.
If by “full episode review” you want a scene-by-scene detailed recap including every stunt, winner, Fear Fanda and elimination, I can give you that too.
