Kikinda Trainer Before Elite 10: Tuesday's Mine, Not Filip's
A 23-year-old personal trainer from Kikinda, a new Elite 10 candidate, used his medical exam to declare himself the house's top ladies' man and weighed in on his interest in Andjela Djuricic.
A new name for the tenth season of Elite was introduced to reporters today at the candidates’ medical exam, ahead of the move into the Bela kuca set for Saturday, September 5. The candidate is a 23-year-old personal trainer from Kikinda, who wasted no time announcing that he plans to become the house’s biggest ladies’ man.
The outlets covering the exam cannot even agree on his name. Pink.rs refers to him as Leon Caner, the name he gives himself in a recorded statement: “I’m Leon Caner, I’m from Kikinda. I’m 23, I work as a personal trainer, so I don’t know what else you’d want to know.” Kurir’s report carries the same quote but spells his name Leo Caner, the version it also uses in its headline. The two outlets disagree on his family connection too: Kurir describes him as the nephew of a well-known rapper, while Pink’s headline calls him the own nephew of a well-known singer. Neither outlet names the relative in question.
Asked why he applied for the show, the candidate said he wants to display his qualities and sees Elite as a launching pad for work once the season ends. “It occurred to me to apply because I want to show what I’ve got, and after the show I want to start a business, you know, I want to keep working in modeling,” he said. He added that he had done modeling before, but through an agency he wasn’t happy with, and that he now sees the reality show as a chance to pick that career back up.
For the months ahead in the house, he promised discipline. He said he’d insist on tidiness, having heard that some of the other housemates are messy, and that he’d rather “boss around a bit” than clean up after them himself, adding that this will probably spark arguments along the way.
He also addressed Andjela Djuricic, whom he had already called pretty in an earlier on camera appearance. He repeated the compliment this time as well, with the caveat that she’s taken.
She is pretty, no argument there, a decent and charming girl too, but she’s taken. Let’s be clear, every woman is beautiful in her own way.
With that, at least in words, he closed off any talk of romantic interest before even setting foot in the house, adding that there’s no such thing as an ugly woman, only a different character that only shows itself later on.
He capped off his introduction with a direct challenge to Filip Car, who was known as the previous season’s biggest Tuesday ladies’ man. “Tuesday is mine, Filip will have to work for it if he wants to steal any girls,” the new candidate said, making no secret of his plan to take that title away from him from the very first weeks of the season.
The portal has written about Andjela Djuricic and Filip Car before, in an article about their relationship ahead of the same season, “Tanasijevic Before Elite 10: Andjela and Car Are Not Just Friends,” so the new candidate’s announcement lands at a moment when their dynamic is already a subject of speculation. Whether the rivalry over Andjela’s attention that the Kikinda candidate has floated before even entering will actually play out once the doors of the Bela kuca shut on Saturday night is a separate question.
Only a few days remain before the new season begins, and the candidates’ medical exams, which drew reporters from several outlets, are the last chance for the future housemates to introduce themselves before going into isolation. The production has not yet released an official list of all the participants, so names like this one are being confirmed mostly through footage from the exam itself.
