– Physical 100 Episode 5 Review Contains No Spoilers –
The wait is over! In the fourth episode’s ending, we were left with a cliffhanger, and in the 5th episode, the result was given out. Once the first match between the two groups got over, the rest of the teams proceeded with the same quest. It was intense and brutal because every team gave their best shot; however, only one team from each match moved ahead. It was sad to see how an entire team gets eliminated due to a tiny difference in the result.
Moreover, building the bridge is the main reason behind losing or winning quest 2. If the bridge is loosely built, the rest of the team members can’t proceed faster and easier. In this particular episode, the bridge strategy of Choo Sung-hoon was brilliant, and the agility of Nippert was absolutely mindblowing.
Once the eliminations were done, the remaining 25 participants moved to the resting area. Everybody had a good conversation with their team and discussed how they performed on the task. Moreover, the participants were shocked to see a particular team in the room because everyone thought they would lose. One participant from that team said, “we are dramatic.”
Meanwhile, Sun-ho set up a warm-up challenge, pretending to be the host. He indeed did a great job as the MC. In the warm-up challenge, everybody’s skills were tested, but only a few contestants took part. The star of the challenge was definitely Yun Sung-bin, who was termed Iron Man. Sung-bin’s leaps were so effortless and showed how capable he is. After this challenge, the rest of the contestants felt they didn’t wish to be his enemy in this competition. A funny moment happened between Choo Sung-hoon and Jin-hyeong, which is a must-watch.

After adequate rest, the participants went to the main hall, and the torso sculptures looked less compared to how it was at the beginning of the show. It is here the contestants got shocking news. From the eliminated participants, five were selected to re-enter the arena. As expected, the episode ended with a cliffhanger, and we will know in the next episode about who re-entered and what battle they crossed to get a chance.
The fifth episode was fantastic, as expected. The eliminated teams broke my heart because they all worked arduously for it. It was so sad to witness when the eliminated contestants’ faces come down. Apart from that, the game strategies planned by the team members have to be appreciated. All the leaders did their best and helped their team to participate well and generously.

Physical 100 Episode 5 Final Verdict
The episode is fantastic to watch and builds curiosity about what’s next. The quest put the contestants’ skills to the best test and all collapsed when the timer went out. We don’t know who the wild card entries are and what game was conducted to give them another chance.
If you haven’t watched Physical 100 Episode 5, it’s streaming now on Netflix.
