Gulder Ultimate Search: Episode 20 (Luck Runs Out On Priscillia)

Priscillia Ezeh walked through the proverbial valley of the shadow of death on Gulder Ultimate Search 9 several times. Scathed on many occasions, she managed to scale through Gatekeepers’ tasks and puzzles. The tasks she failed – fortunately for her – were not Gatekeeper’s tests; hence she escaped evictions many times.

She was the first GUS warrior to bear the burden of the Stump of Shame. Her initial humiliation was followed by a string of successes and her elevation to the position of Head Warrior – twice and back-to-back. There was also the dramatic comeback against Bornford Patience, who at a point during the games was a threat against even the male contestants.

Luck however ran out on her, leaving her in the hands of fate which dealt her a wicked blow on Gulder Ultimate Search 9. Priscillia’s exit was further buoyed by the disobedience of James Adah, Ifet Iniobong and herself, for their group’s failure to adhere to the instructions of Chidi Mokeme, the Anchor man. They abandoned the construction of the Guard Tower, despite Chidi’s warning that it should be completed the previous night. The trio suffered the consequence as they were handed a three minute delay in the day’s task. For failing in leadership, Paschal Eronmose, the previous day’s Head Warrior, started four minutes behind others.

The day’s task involved the warriors solving a riddle; after which the Gatekeeper would point them in the direction of an obstacle course where they would get three pieces of a clue. Washing the back of the clues would reveal co-ordinates which would lead them to the hidden keys with the aid of a compass.

By the time the remaining warriors had found the clues that revealed their co-ordinates, Priscillia was still battling with the first phase of the challenge. James won the challenge. Ifet’s discovery of the 6th hidden key sealed the fate of Priscillia. She was asked to hand over her Golden Key and exit the Gulder Ultimate Search 9 camp. So annoyed was Chidi with her at the time wasted in solving the otherwise simple riddle, that he ordered that she was not to embrace another contestant, after giving Onyinye Udodi and Uzor Osimpka farewell hugs.

Chidi instructed that the keys they found should be kept with them at all times. According to him, the Gatekeeper’s fortune cannot be found without the key.
