Elita 10 Starts September 5 With Divna and Marko as Couple

The tenth season of the reality show “Elita” begins September 5, and the first names to sign contracts for the Bela Kuca house in Simanovci are already known. Pink’s production is holding the final contestant list until just before the premiere, so for now it is clear who is confirmed and who is still only rumor.

The first to sign was Andjela Djuricic. This will be her fourth time in a reality show. In previous seasons she spent much of her time in the spotlight over her relationships with Zvezdan Slavnic and Nenad Marinkovic Gastozo, so most of the speculation is again circling her name.

Filip Car is returning after a longer break. He has said this could be his last reality season, a statement the scene immediately read as a signal that a showdown is coming. That reading is not accidental: Radomir Taki Marinkovic, Maja Marinkovic’s father, told domestic media that he is entering the new season to settle a score with Car.

Who Else Has Signed

Divna Milovanovic, better known as Divna DNK, and her husband Marko Kocic have also signed contracts. They are entering together as a married couple, the only such arrangement confirmed so far.

Expect Marko and me in the tenth season of Elita, we’re coming back to show people which contestants are the best

Divna said, announcing her return. Married couples inside the Bela Kuca house have historically been the fastest storyline for production, since conflict within a relationship does not need weeks to build.

We previously reported that Kacavenda said publicly she may have already signed a contract for the tenth season. Production has not officially confirmed that, nor any of the other names circulating in recent days.

Why Is Gastozo’s Entrance Being Kept Secret?

Because it is production’s ace card. The plan is to keep Gastozo’s entrance secret right up until he walks onto the stage, with no earlier media announcements and no exposure for him in the weeks before the start. The idea is for him and Andjela to reportedly appear together at the door, with the audience left not knowing until the last minute whether he is actually entering.

That marks a break from previous seasons, when the arrivals of the biggest names leaked out weeks in advance and lost their impact before the show even began.

Pink owner Zeljko Mitrovic has already previewed what the opening will look like.

Stanija won Elita 9, which means she opens the milestone Elita 10 together with me. Every detail will be spectacular. There will be big surprises when it comes to the contestants

Mitrovic said. In the same announcement he also mentioned Ilija Grahovac, better known as Zmaj od Sipova (the Dragon of Sipovo).

Names Circulating but Not Yet Confirmed

Unofficially mentioned so far:

• Dalila Dragojevic, who currently lives in America
• Maja Marinkovic
• Aneli Ahmic
• Asmin Durdzic
• Ilija Grahovac

Production has not confirmed any of these entrances. Casting for the milestone season was open over the summer, with candidates submitting a biography, photos and a video clip, so the list is still changing ahead of September.

Reality TV as a Job

Miroslav Przulj, known as Lepi Mica, who has spent 13 years in front of the cameras, has never hidden why he keeps entering. His participation in the tenth season is not confirmed, but his motive is the one that has actually been spoken out loud.

I go into reality shows for the money, cash is what motivates me. I work there for a monthly salary, and it’s not a small one, and I hand all of it over to my wife! She’s my biggest support, she cheers me on with all her heart while I’m inside. She understands it’s my job.

Asked how long he plans to keep going, he answered briefly.

I’ve made up my mind, I’ll keep entering Zadruga for as long as I’m healthy and fit. I’ll probably die in a reality show!

The tenth season is shaping up around a familiar split. On one side are veterans who treat the format as steady work, on the other are returnees like Car who are announcing this as their last run. The final lineup arrives just before September 5.
