The last woman standing on the 2021 edition of the Gulder Ultimate Search (GUS), Chidimma, has been evicted from the show.
She said her goodbye to the show last weekend after she failed to complete her task, though she made it to the top four and set an impressive track record of task wins.
Her story is a bitter-sweet experience as she was someone who was not sure she would make it to Gulder Ultimate Search.
Last weekend’s task was unique because it determined who scaled through to the final three and the contestants also had their luggage with them.
While they were in the jungle to look for treasure map pieces, the enemies raided their camp and took all their food.
The task of the day, a combination lock, was an intense variety of tasks that combined to unlock a case. They had to crawl through obstacles, balance puzzles pieces, match those pieces to get a code that allowed them to unlock a rod to strike their gong.
Damola made a good speed as he finished the first obstacle and rapidly moved along the course.
The first time, Odudu dropped his tile and had to start again but he found a way around it. Damola, Odudu and Damilola soon start on their puzzle board while Chidimma was still transporting her tiles.
The first to finish the task was Damola and this enabled him to beat his gong. Damilola and Odudu were tied at the final stage, trying to find the right combination to unlock their rod, but it was Damilola that finished second, while Odudu followed.
With Chidimma unable to complete her task, she was shown the way out of the camp, though she stands a chance of being voted back into the show.
This weekend, the search for Akolo’s chest continues and a winner should emerge among the trio of Damola, Odudu and Damilola.
