The 2021 edition of Gulder Ultimate Search (GUS) kicked off on Sunday with contestants camped in the forests to battle among themselves and the wild for the ultimate prize.
The show tagged ‘The Age of Craftsmanship’ saw 16 out of 20 contestants that were unveiled taken to the jungle to compete against each other and nature in quest of a secret treasure that would offer fame and wealth to the last person standing.
The organisers of the show also opted for a twist that will see two of the remaining four contestants voted by the audience to participate as wildcards.
According to Gideon Okeke, the show host, two of the four contestants, who didn’t make it to the jungle on the first day will be given a chance as wildcards as the show progresses.
The survival show will air two episodes weekly on Saturday and Sunday from 8 pm to 9 pm while Kunle Remi, the Nollywood actor, will be the taskmaster for this year’s edition.
