GUS is an acronym for “Gulder Ultimate Search,” a very popular reality television show where the successfully chosen contestants are given tasks (intellectual and physical) and always searching for a missing treasure.
The contestant who finds the missing treasure is always rewarded handsomely in cash and with material things.
GUS kicked off in the early 2000s. The first edition of GUS was in 2004. The reality show was aired consecutively for eleven years before the organizers stopped the show abruptly. It stopped in the year 2014.
Several reality shows like BBNaija, Maltina Dance Hall, Maltavator challenge, Dance with Peter, and so on merged in the absence of GUS.
Regardless of the introduction of these other reality shows, people still yearned for GUS to return on the widescreen as most of them said it is better than other reality shows.
Fast forward to 2021, the organizers decided to satisfy people’s yearnings and brought back the GUS show.
This year’s edition of GUS is season 12. The theme is “Age of Craftsmanship.” Only 18 contestants made it to the jungle out of the thousands that auditioned for the show.
The GUS 2021 anchor is Toke Makinwa, while the Taskmaster is Kunle Remi. Kunle Remi was a contestant in the GUS show in 2010; season 7 precisely.
What is Gulder Ultimate Search (GUS) 2021 storyline?
There lived a mysterious craftsman named Akolo that decided to live in a small town, Ijuka. Akolo settled down amongst the blacksmiths and woodcarvers. He had an exceptional brew skill that brought fame his way in Ijuka and beyond Iuka.
Unknown to people, Akolo used ingredients he got from trading his great works with European merchants.
The king soon heard of his fame and appointed Akolo to be a member of his advisory council.
Akolo did not reveal his secret to anyone, not even to the king he was so close to. His fame grew, and trading routes began to pass through Ijuka. He became very successful. As Akolo’s success was rising, so was his enemy rising.
His enemies envied his great wisdom and closeness to the king and wanted to kill him. Several attempts to kill him proved abortive.
When Akolo could not take it any longer, he left Ijuka Town for the mangrove forest with his secret brew recipe and all his knowledge.
His absence affected Ijuka town and was soon laid to waste by foreign invaders.
Hence, the council of elders chose 18 brave warriors comprising 14 men and four women to go back in time to “The Age of Craftsmanship” to search for the iron chest containing Akolo’s secrets.
These 18 selected warriors have proved their bravery after defeating thousands and making it into the jungle. They must also prove they are worthy of retrieving the iron chest of the wise craftsman, Akolo.
