Gulder Ultimate Search

For the first time in the history of Gulder Ultimate Search, the contestants of the show are not staying in a single camp. Secondly, the tradition of contestants building their camp as their first task was broken. The contestants had to form two tribes and stay in different camps – Red camp and Yellow camp. One tribe would be known as The Swords and the other The Spears. They also had to perform a task to determine which particular location in the jungle each tribe would stay.

To know which tribe each contestant belonged to, the warriors had to ‘Dig For Tribes.’

Twelve boxes were buried underneath a swampy field and each contestant had to dig up a box that contained either a yellow or red object. This they did with their bare hands. Those whose boxes contained red objects belonged to the Spears and would stay in the Red camp, while those with yellow objects belonged to the Swords camp. All dug up their boxes except Martha who gave up.

The members of the Swords are: Edmond Umebuani, Ezidi Bobby Nzube, Sheidu Onozare Halima, Chapele Tracy, Salako Oladimeji Olukunle and Mary Adeboye. The Spears consist Okike Dennis, Brosu Anthony, Ifunanya Onike Michelle, Ijeh Peter Oseleka, Etido Ema Ebong, and Martha Adeboye.

The tribes have competed in several games, and the Sword tribe has won more tasks than the Spears. The Swords won the first task of ‘Mudby’ made popular in Season 9. It involved playing ‘rugby’ in the mud.

Ezugo Egwagwu, winner of Gulder Utimate Search 1, and Dominic Mudabai, winner of Gulder Ultimate Search 4, were unveiled as Gatekeepers. They were to pick a Tribe and motivate and guide them to win as many tasks as possible. The Gatekeepers each tossed a coin to choose the tribes they would mentor.

Ezugo picked the Spear tribe, which had lost their game the previous day. He reasoned that he could make winners out of them. Dominic went for Swords tribe, which he had described as the winning team. The Spears won the second challenge against the Swords tagged ‘Get the Food.’

The Swords won the third next three challenges: the Fruit Juice and Leaf challenge; The Pyramid and Building Blocks. In the Fruit Juice and Leaf challenge, Mary Adeboye was pitched against her identical twin Martha, and the former outsmarted the latter. Both had made it clear that they would jettison the spirit of kinship and battle each other for The 10th Symbol.

There have also been interesting punishments for members of the Spears, which appears to be the losing tribe. Martha Adeboye was burdened with the stump of shame for her poor performance in the Pyramid challenge. Brosu Anthony had to walk blind folded for the rest of the day, thus depending on the guidance of tribe’s men, for losing in the Building Blocks challenge.
