What to expect from Blown Away season 4?

In the teaser for Blown Away season 4, released in February, all ten contestants were seen striving to make some of the most creative glass pieces ever seen. From moving molten glass to shaping their art, the competition appears to be grueling.

At one point, a contestant noted that the biggest challenge is “making out alive,” while another declared, “I’ll pass out before I’ll quit.” A voiceover by host Hunter March explained:

“This season, ten incredible glassblowers will try and brave the heat in the most grueling, dangerous, extreme competition that North America’s largest hot shop has ever seen. They’re going bigger, bolder, and hotter than ever chasing the most epic grand prize in series history.”

The teaser consisted of several mishaps, including the smashing of glasses and the shattering of molten equipment, along with shots of contestants using fire to prepare their finished product. The competition left several uncomfortable, while a few were seen making some bad judgment calls. Meanwhile, host Hunter March continued:

“These 2000-degree furnaces turn sand, lime, and soda into molten glass for the artists to gather, blow, shape and sculpt into jaw-dropping works of art. Only one will survive this gauntlet of fire and be crowned Best in glass.”

The previous season winners list includes Deborah Czeresko (season 1), Elliot Walker (season 2), Cat Burns (Christmas specials), and John Moran (season 3), as per What’s on Netflix. It remains to be seen who takes the title home this time.
