Goca Dzehverovic Roots for Ex-Son-in-Law Andjelo in Elita

Gordana Goca Dzehverovic, mother of singer Teodora Dzehverovic, surprised fans ahead of the Elita finale by saying she is rooting for none other than her former son-in-law, Andjelo Rankovic. “Honestly, I would love for Andjelo to come first,” Goca told the media, even though the two were openly at odds last season.

For context, Andjelo Rankovic was in a relationship with Teodora, and reality-show viewers followed their romance and breakup week after week. The clashes between Goca and the young contestant were tabloid fodder throughout last season. That is why her support this year, right before the finale, took many who followed the saga by surprise.

Why is Goca rooting for Andjelo?

Goca does not hide that she feels a little sorry for him. She says Andjelo has had a rough time this season and is under serious pressure in the house. “I have nothing against him. This year we are keeping our distance, but it is fine,” she said. She adds that she has known him since the first season of Zadruga and that, in her view, he was at his best back then, while later on there was, as she puts it, a bit of copying.

Her read on the Elita finale is level-headed. Tension, she says, runs highest among the finalists, and each of them is hoping for first place. She also praised Terza as a hard-working guy, despite his personal missteps. On the other finalists, Stanija, Aneli, Asmin and Maja, she spoke with restraint, without stoking the drama that already reigns in the villa.

What stands out most is her tone. There are no sharp words like before. Instead of a feud, there is now a kind of peaceful distance. “This year we are keeping our distance, but it is fine,” she repeats, closing a chapter of conflict that dragged on for months.

What about Teodora’s village house?

Beyond the reality-show talk, Goca revealed a fresh detail from family life. Teodora, she says, bought a house in the countryside for around 40,000 euros and is now renovating it. According to her mother, the singer is actively arguing with the contractors over the work, while Goca stays out of the project.

The singer’s mother has her own hands full. She is renovating her own property in Kasarevo at the same time, so she says she does not get too involved in her daughter’s works. Still, she admits that quarrels with builders are not rare, a scenario familiar to anyone who has ever taken on a renovation.

The whole statement lands at just the right moment, as Elita nears its grand finale and every word about the finalists is read as a hint of who might take the win. With her support for Andjelo, Goca has added a fresh dose of suspense to a story followed for months like a soap opera.

So what do you think, is Goca’s support for her ex-son-in-law genuine cheering or a tactical move before the finale?
