Nope I don't think so.
I think the show out lived its relevance.

Back then when it was popular it aired on local tv and was easily accessible.

Now local TV is a thing of the past Ultimate Search doesn't really appeal to audiences now there is multiple contents to choose from.

Also d show never really had a dedicated channel.
Very correct. The idea of 2 hours highlight for a whole week was weak. A dedicated channel that would show activities in the camp would have sustained interest. I guess the challenge is what activities can they be engaged in the camp that would interest viewers. It was not well scripted

YES and YES and YES

GUS is a show that is all about toughness,intelligence, and stamina and not a show for Sisi Toke or girly stuffs.... Toke lacks that tough demeanour .....

You have pure tough Nollywood Actors who would have done and dusted the part !!!... Let me mentions small names

Sam Dede

Junior pope

Sylvester Madi

Jerry Amilo

Chidi Mokeme

Zubi .... (EZE NDI ARA)

To me her anchoring the show just made it less appealing ... If they even wanted to use a female I would have preferred Sola Sobowale to her sef or even Mama G!!!!(that's some tough alpha female to me).


This your list no follow self , give it to the
Boss following below.
Bob M
Chidi M
Sam Dede (probably)

Yes, Toke doesn't represent strength, street or someone rugged. Her voice doesn't even give that command tone from a woman from strong background. Patience the wicked Step mother would have done well than her. The show is not about being sexy and trendy. It about strength, character, brain, street, survival and toke ain't one (no be baby girl life style) She doesn't represent that appeal. Immediately I saw some part of it I just lost interest. I don't even like movies wey women will be kicking everyone so easy because of their Built I go just lost interest asap (my bias Women make una vex e get something in life you guys can't fill the role no matter how Hollywood/Nollywood paint it just doesn't fill right for some of us)

These things u listed here are secondary reasons why it flopped. The real reason is the tv transmission as clearly stated by Motionarena

She was the highlight of a drab show. She didn’t kill anything when it was already dead from the jump. Nairalanders who clamoured for its return took to insulting others who pointed out their past comments supporting the show’s airing while never watching a day of the program. Talking about the show was akin to flogging a dead horse, waiting for a reaction. No wonder the official thread gathered only forty pages of mostly aimless chatter.

Incase you guys are looking for a better female anchor pls look towards Kate Henshaw. Toke with her eye lashes did well but they should rest.

Why would they be showing us less than 6hrs time?
The show should be aired 24/7
Toke is out of it, if they want to use female it should be someone like mercy Johnson, she commands respect.
Lastky they should allow sponsors

You are not totally correct. I don't watch BBN but I didn't watch most parts of the Gulder Ultimate Search due to Toke Makinwa. It was boring to me.

This situation once happened when Chidi was replaced with a guy back then which affected the show. I expected the organisers to have learnt from this. Anybody they intend using must be better than Chidi Mokeme if they still want the show to retain its popularity.

It flopped because of the show time. GUS should have aired a particular time everyday, not just Saturday and Sunday.

Was Toke Makinwa the reason why most people didn't watch the recently concluded Gulder Ultimate Search TV show...

Maybe, the organizers need to either bring back Chidi Mokeme or hire Frank Edoho to replace Toke Makinwa

A lot of people didn't watch nor follow the show at all... They didn't even know the show was still on, until the winner was announced on social media...


This is the best person to anchor such a show should be sola sobowale ... 100% reviewer expected

Sex sex and sex, no sex matter on the show. If they were pressing body people would watch even if it was a 6 hour highlight every week.

Toke might not have been the perfect pick but she's not the main problem.

Even if they had to use a female personality, Kate Henshaw would have been ideal.

The truth is that we have evolved

When it was popping many of us that enjoyed the show those years don dey old and this young ones no like the show because it does not give them toxic entertainment which they like.

It doesn't give them the opportunity to argue mumu arguments. "Tacha said Mercy is this", "oh no, it was Mercy that told Tacha that" etc.

Also, we have been spoilt with BBN which gives us constant entertainment unlike ultimate search that is shown just weekends

Same thing is happening in music. Back then an artiste will sing one song and that's OK and the fans will like it. But today, if wizkid drop song, davido will drop song too, burna will drop song too,.......no space! if anyone of them slack they would be forgotten cheesy cheesy grin grin grin

women make up a greater percentage of viewers of TV shows like GUS...Hosts like the handsome looking milkshakes like Chidi,Bob drew these set of viewers attention to the show then. so i think organisers goofed when they chose to use toke as host.

Thank You@Motionarena!

See those peeps up there Trying to Scapegoat Toke Makinwa as being Responsible for the Calamitous Flopping of GUS! sad undecided

The Show failed simply because It has OUTLIVED it's relevance! sad

The current Generation needs Excitement, Glamour, Gossips, etc...not some Grab, Forest shows!
Instagram, Whatsapp, Tik Tok videos have taken over Everywhere and you want Pple to be following a Show where Contestants use Firewood to cook Oil rice and Sleep inside Mosquito Net?

This is 2021, not 2010! sad

because of Bbnaija Critics, The Ill-prepared Organizers hurriedly came back with the Show!
The way they would be Crying now Over their Loss ehn! embarassed cry cry

Your analysis hit the bull's eye. Best comment.

All those physical gra gra things no dey work again. In this age of telenovelas, fashion, glitz and glamour, Domino's cold stone cream and other trappings of a fast paced entertaining world on our palmtops, there's no place for a show whose organisers are not thinkers.

Nigerians are survivors already, so why subject people to the most difficult situations, fighting over a piece of yam laced with red oil? That's double jeopardy.

Even the holy Bible says "affliction shall not rise the second time". Nahum 1:9

Nobody wants to be reminded of the sufferings the dead government has foisted on Nigerians.

That ill-fated show is akin to self-immolation.

Gbam. No relationship drama. No fights. No party. Not even booze. And you want Nigerian youths to be interested.

I don't know about others buy it was a yes for me.

I anticipated the show so much.

But when I got to know that Toke Makinwa would anchor the show.

Omo I no bother watch am again oh.

I knew it wouldn't come into limelight like before and I wasn't wrong, they should use someone with a responsible personality not a prosti....

It's not about the airing time for those saying it's too short, Phillipines movies are shown just 6 hrs on weekends and people watch them happily, How them go use Toke Makinwa, Mad People, they didn't want to show to enter spotlight before.

Maybe she is part of the problem because she's too fake but lack of planning also played a major role. How can you not have a dedicated channel for a show like that.
