A few days ago, I was discussing with my friends about the continuity of TV reality shows that have good content and how they all faded off our TV screens. One of the shows we talked about was Gulder Ultimate Search or GUS for short.
Little did we know that the sponsors of the show Nigerian Breweries Plc were warming up to hit the jungle yet again for one of the most reality tv shows ever to come out of Nigeria.
The good news is that Gulder Ultimate Search is back with another valour of excitement spirit of sportsmanship which the past 11 series were known for.

Are you ready?
What’s your favourite TV show between Big Brother Naija (https://infomediang.com/names-age-20-big-brother-naija-season-6-housemates-2021 ) and Gulder Ultimate Search?
For me, it’s GUS because participants are more real and actually face the challenges of life while in the jungle to find the lost treasure.
I will join for next year
