Gulder Ultimate Search was unarguably Nigeria’s biggest reality TV show before the advent of Big Brother Naija. A seven-year hiatus saw its glory further recede, but now, the show is back and will be looking to kickstart another run of delightful buzz in the reality TV sphere.
This year’s show is titled The Age of Craftsmanship and will be anchored by former contestant, actor Kunle Remi. It officially kicked off on Sunday, June 26 with a selection party where the first 16 contestants – 12 males and 4 females were unveiled.
However, another two will be joining the 16, but their chances rest on the shoulders of fans who will be voting to take the total number of contestants to 18.
Meet the adventurers looking to win up to N50 million in prizes at this year’s Gulder Ultimate Search:
