13th October, 2010
As the Gulder Ultimate Search competition inches closer to its climax, two other contestants -Simeon Okorougo and Sabdat Ahmed were evicted from the show on Monday and last night, Tuesday respectively, leaving eight contestants behind to continue the search.
Simeon, who got the boot on Monday after he came last in the task of the day, had his journey in the jungle terminated right at the task zone. He came last as well as failed to complete the task given them. They were to arrange some set of balls to form the letter ‘daggerâ€
On her part, Sabdat, fondly called ‘Mummy Jungleâ€
Bob-Manuel Udokwu, the showâ€
Her hope was, however, dashed when Bob told her that the Elders had thought over her performance and concluded that she was no longer worthy to remain in the jungle and that her clock had stopped.
Sabdatâ€
The race to become the Ultimate Hero continues till 22 October, 2010 when the winner will emerged.
The first casualty of the eviction trap was the least of all expectations. It was Dandison Strongface, the 22-year old Rivers State-born macho that exuded courage, strength and the needed can-do ability right from the selection stages.
Strongface is strong, tall, almost 7ft in height and was perceived to be very calculative. Unfortunately, his mental ability made a mockery of his physical ability during their first major individual challenge. The 12 contestants were given same task which started as group effort but ended as individual puzzle. He failed to find solution to his own puzzle and for that he got booted out.
The next contestant that was caught in the web of eviction was 21-year old Delta State-born Tonia Oduah. She did not only disappoint her fans, she also disappointed her family because her older brother Melvin Oduah came second in last yearâ€
Another surprise eviction after Toniaâ€
As the competition gets thicker by the day, and with the eviction of four of the presumably toughest contenders, the eight remaining members of the Order of Heroes started getting frenetic. Drama, intrigues, squabbles and tension became their lot.
Sadness enveloped the camp last night following the eviction of the next victim. She is the oldest member of the camp, Sabdat Bamitale Ahmed. The 27 year old Kogi state born basketball player was the most loved member of the camp. She was nicknamed Mama Jungle because of the motherly role she took up in the camp, caring for the welfare of all her camp-mates. Her eviction was so painful to the other contestants that after her exit, they decided to immortalise her with a bamboo seat specially constructed and named after her.
