The young man shared identified as Bobby shared a series of posts on Twitter, in which he treated his fans and followers to a tell-it-all about some of the experiences he endured while he was in the 2013 edition of highly coveted reality show Gulder Ultimate Search (GUS).

Bobby started off by sharing how he told his boss and some colleagues about his intention to go for the show, and how they laughed at him and doubted his ability to make it pass the auditions.

He said his mum was the only one who believed in his abilities but she was worried about how he would survive the harsh conditions the contestants were made to go through.

Only my mum had any sort of belief in me. She said, can you cope? They don’t eat o and I don’t think u can quit half way. I said “mummy let me try, after all what’s there to lose”.
I usually run, so the auditions weren’t difficult.

One time I was warming my boot by the firewood and it burnt. Clothes were wet, aargh!! I hated every day! But I refused to quit!! I’m not a quitter & there was the possibility of actually winning. Sadly, on the last day I fell!

I remember when parents were brought to see the final four! I saw my mum, hugged her, I smelt freshness & it was like Jss2 boarding school, my first visiting day experience. I just wanted to go home. I cried! I wanted mum to take me home! GUS was frigging hard!

I told myself, mind over matter. Just imagine you’re dinning at Le Meridien Uyo. Lick that red oil! I started plucking palm and roasting by the fire! “How did this happen to me”. I remember when I saw a snake at the stream! Or when I saw a shedded snake skin by the tent!!

Everyday you adjust bamboo and palm made tent, and almost every day rain will still beat you. Got to a point, we learnt how to sleep despite the rain beating us. It all had to do with imagining you were somewhere else. Far removed from your current reality – rain is just water.
