GUS: Batch contestants get shock treatment over poor performance

For what was tagged as poor performance in their first task, the third and final batch of Gulder Ultimate Search contestants were denied food.The only contestant, who was allowed to eat, was Sunday Gyang, after he emerged winner in the task. The Council of Elders, through Darey 'Art' Alade, the show's co-anchor, came to the decision, after Batch C's first task was rounded up in minutes. For the first task, the contestants were required to balance two bamboo poles on their hands against a wooden beam for as long as possible. Should the bamboo drop, then the contender is automatically disqualified. It was a game that tested the upper body strength of the contenders especially their armsChimaobi Ebobi emerged as the first loser in the task. The remaining contestants' - Lilian Ebhonhon, Egone Kesiena, Efe Oniovosa, Fejiro Ejogbamu, Patience Ihongbe, Ezeoba Okoroafor, Olarewaju Alawoki and Ulunma Ekwuru ' quickly followed suit, as they saw no need in holding on, after the game's loser emerged.Darey reprimanded them for choosing to save their energy, instead of putting in more effort in the day's task. He notified them that the first tasks for Batches A and B's contestants lasted for several hours because of the contestants' resilience. Even though Gyang was rewarded with food, he was warned not to share with others or risk eviction. For her failure in the day's task, Chimaobi Ebobi was evicted. She has to depend on viewer's votes for a second shot at the Gulder Ultimate Search grand prize.Meanwhile, Theodora Egbu, emerged as the contestant voted back in by viewers from Batch B. Thirty percent of the audience cast votes in her favour. She was followed by Ibitoye Kikelomo Adewunmi and Amamgbo Chigozie who each amassed 16 per cent of audience votes. Fourteen percent of the viewers voted for Ohio Goodluck Sunday while Ohwonda Mary Wealth and Iheme Kenneth Kelechi got four percent and three percent of the votes respectively.
