Yes it flopped because TM who we all know is plastic was seen coaching people in a “fitness” A reality show. I personally love TM but it disturbs my mind to see the contrast.

Yes, but we can't heap all the blame on Toke.

I think some other reasons played a part

The show has not changed much but it's audience has changed. The script should have been re-written to make the show 24hrs with a dedicated channel. There should be other activities apart from the daily tasks. The organizers should have chosen a beach or island location and allowed them bonfire parties where they interact socially with enjoyment like big brother Saturday party. This would have helped build a connection with the audience allowing them know the fun sides of their favorite contestant. Some of the contestants would start building relationships and this will pull in more viewers.

If a female anchor must be used for equality sake Kate Henshaw is even a better pick. She's into the fitness world and is liked by many. There are many other female anchors that would have better suited the program than Toke.

Immediately they announced her as the anchor person for the show , I lost interest with immediate effect.
She is took fake and her personality does not fit into the program’s nature .
Another thing is that publicity around the show was too poor
The publicity wasn't poor, I remember being bombarded with YouTube ads about the show but I didn't bother to click...The show is simply not appealing to Nigerians anymore.

I would say she was partly the reason. The show flopped for these reasons:

Firstly, a show like that requires a host with lots of charisma and charm which Toke doesn’t possess.

Secondly, the publicity was very poor and it was as if much preparations didn’t go into the show.

Thirdly, they should have aired on mainstream channels like DStv, and even NTA like they used to.

If there is going to be another show this year, it will be best to have someone like Chidi Mokeme, IK of big brother Africa or someone else who isn’t Toke to anchor it.

I have said it before and I’m saying it again, Toke has no business being on TV. She is very annoying and one can easily lose interest in her conversations.

She is also very superficial and it will take another superficial man to tolerate her in a relationship. Women like her got nothing to offer.



Burnaboy should be the host

I am one of those that didn't watch it because of the host. Her fakeness would make you think the programme is fake.

You raised some valid point but Toke is hardly one of it. The show enthusiasm, expectation and public demand is high enough to overshadow issue such as subtle sentiment against It's anchor.
The major reason the show flop was it's publicity. I believe that was deliberately stunted by some stake holders in the broadcasting and entertainment sector. Take for instance, the DSTV coverages which was too obscured and silent. Why such a major broadcasting outfit displayed casual approach to a show of that magnitudet is confusing. We saw how everywhere was usually lit up during BBNaija season. You turn on you DStv and first thing that greet your attention is the show advert blaring the jingles. During BBnaija season, any interested viewer knows the right channel to switch. In fact, the show announce itself to you. I tried amidst my schedule to view a single episode of the just concluded Gulder Ultimate search but never had the opportunity of viewing a single one all through. I'm either too busy as at the time of airing or just forgot completely because it feature only twice a week and for short period in a channel I find no habit of viewing. Sometimes, I even struggle to remember which day of the week it is aired on DStv. Compare this to 24 hours of BBNaija at 198.

If nobody watched.
It was for cogent reasons..
You can't engage the audience with 2 hours of airing every week..
The Anchor was not a good choice..
Whoever came up with such a person should be fired..
And most importantly..
They need to evolve with the times..
The audience should become more involved..
It had nothing to do with the anchor.The show was dead on arrival.The production value was very low compared to other similar shows like survivor and the challenge.

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


The simple truth.

Lol...You can blame Toke Makinwa all you want , however, GUS was already a flop even before it was aired. Even if Chidi Mokeme or Bob Manuel anchored this recent season, it will still flop!

When we told you people here that it can't outshine BBN, myopic and self-righteous Nigerians who don't understand what reality show is all about kept talking. BBN already has same content that GUS has in the form of tasks, coupled with other modern day factors that can keep viewers glued to their TVs. This is the reason why sponsors rush to get a piece of that BBN cake.

GUS is stuck in the past! GUS was not a reality show but a prerecorded event aired only once or twice in a week. GUS didn't bring anything new, no exciting event!

Not airing it everyday in a dedicated channel is the reason for the flop. Imagine public asking whether the show had started when it's already in it's third weeks. We just aren't seeing it.

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.

...infact, u have been making a bunch of sense ooo until u com put sand inside ur soup. Is chopping off the head a remedy for headache? Well nurtured Female child still remains d better option in alleviating a struggling class family out of poverty.
Lalami3232:
No be her fault say the show no blow. Number one reason why the show no blow na because say dem no dey fvck for the show. See eeh, evil things dey sell pass good things by far nowadays. If dem put an embargo on sex for BBnaija, the show go drop drastically. The average Nigerian na hypocrite. We go bash people wey dey fvck or showcase body for national TV but we go always watch the show for secret and even vote sef. If u dey patronize porn sites, if you see the traffic wey those porn sites dey generate for 9ja alone, you go shock. Both Christians, Muslims, pagans, atheists etc na dey watch those evil programs ooooo. So now you see why BBN and other immoral shows go get higher traffic than a decent and godly show. U don ask yourself why our female celebs dey always buy house and the male still dey drive Peugeot 504? My dear, na because dem get the sex to offer. I wan even create a porn web and mobile app sef. Since my fellow Christians no go patronize my christian app, I have to follow the trend and jump into the moving train. A girl wey naked for FB would get 1000 LIKES in a second but you wey dress decent go even tag 100 people and still get just 12 LIKES. So the lady is not to blame for the poor audience of the show. The organizers are even wise for choosing her because dem know say an HOElosho alumni like her go bring more traffic. But unfortunately, dem no dey fvck for the show, so the show no go make wave.

Zoogerians are after half naked girls, inappropriate touching, Nudity, pornography and sexual romance coupled with Gossip and if you're putting on a show without those things I mentioned; it will flop big time. These people claimed to be religiously disciplined but they carry porn on top of their cone head, they're now the number one porn producers in Africa.

Ibo people don start again for 2022. Always attacking anyone Yoruba.

Everyone knows Gulder Ultimate Search is no longer appealing to most people. Even the frequency of broadcast made it more like a soap opera. The organisers really need to spice things up. It is not big brother and will never be. What people demand now is different especially the ladies.

So stop blaming Toke.
You just spoil everything there

There was nothing wrong with the show save for the weekend showing only. It should have been aired daily. They can spice it up next time.
