Uumm..... but for geographical constraint, I would have been tempted .......

pieta, seems you skipped that

Ok. I visited the site last night with a friend who registered and there i saw registration was to end same day (yesterday).

trish, i felt same way with you when it was first aired. why in the world should a man and a woman be subjected to same competition especially since it is to do with physical fitness? all the same i was happy some guys dropped out before the ladies .

bah I like star better anyways (actually now I think about it, they all kind of taste the same after you've had a few )

please how can i register for the gulder ultimate search?

I agree, the show is an elaborate advert for Gulder, and maybe it doesn't seem fair to pitch men against women.  But  it is based on the survivor series and this is what happens on those shows.  As someone noted, last year some men went out before the girls so it isnt completely about brawn. Also, the show is meant for entertainment it's not some great sporting feat and it would be boring to have a show with only guys or gals.

The last girl standing will likely get something additional (I hear Governor Duke promised 1 million). The company wants to sell it's products but in selling it is contributing to the lives of the participants in a way they wouldn't have had otherwise, so I think its a win-win.  Also I know a lot of people go in for shows like this not for the prize but for the visibility so its not about winning but making sure you get noticed.

In all, I think the company is doing a good thing.  Selfish motives are what business is all about and there are ways to sell your product without contributing to peoples lives.  I hate reality shows and don't actually follow any but my theory is every man to his own poison and if this works for some then they should enjoy.

badwils, the only 'problem' I have with the show is last year's presenter!  I feel that he acted too serious, behaving like some authority figure.  That deep voice, that smirk, and utterances like "so you think you have what it takes to become the Ultimate Champion, we'll see.  Or the words that are spoken when some contestants are booted, as if the person failed a cosmic quest.

UPDATE: Chidi Mokeme, the presenter, is back this year.

I caught the end of the show yesterday.  Apparently, someone won 500,000 naira in one of their promos ("buy a bottle of Gulder, check under the crown-top, ...")

Will this program succeed in getting people who don't drink to buy Gulder?  Would it convince people who drink Gulder already to drink more often?  If the answer to any of the above questions is "yes", is this a good thing?

Hi.  I would like to meet the presenter one on one.  I mean Chidi Mokeme.  How do I go about it?  Please get in touch with me.

What's up?

The show is really becoming interesting, but I think the participants are really too dull for my liking.  Agreed it's not easy but they are really not helping matters at all.  Chidi is really nice this time around because he's really taking his time to give clues to the participants on how they shuld go about the game.yesterdays show was really very technical.

I mean why should a girl cry as if she was forced out of her house?  It's not a do or die affair.  But if u shuld ask me I think she should be asked to go back home or what do you think?

I couldn't agree more with you, Coke.  I think Chidi Mokeme's presenting skills make me want to gag .  He acts like he's in charge and calling all the shots (which unfortunately he is!)  He seems to have taken a shine to Vaughan, just like he did to Julian in the first show.  Maybe his badluck will rub of on Vaughan aka 'the General', and he'll lose out too.  It's suddenly looking a lot better now!!

I think the competition is begining to take its toll on the contestants.  Guys, please give Chidi Mokeme a break. Unfortunately he's the presenter and that's final.  He's going to be paid for the job he's doing.  If you ask me, I think he's tryin anyway.  The contestants should get serious, that's all.

The governor of Cross-Rivers state is giving the last woman standing an extra N1 million , talk about discrimination!

Haba Seun, I don't quite agree with you, you know.  What a man can do a woman can do better.  Have you forgotten that adage so soon?  But come to think of it, these set of women are all weaklings.  Or what do you think?  Agreed, I am a female but they are really not competing with the men at all.  I guess they need somebody to tell them that they are out for adventure and not for cruising o.
