Elita 10 Rule: Only Miljana Allowed in Apartment
The Big Boss read Elita 10 contestants a 31-point rulebook on their first night, at the black table. One rule sets Miljana Kulic apart from all 54 other competitors.
On their first night in Bela kuca, Elita 10 contestants were read a 31-point code of conduct, and one item sets a single competitor apart from everyone else. It is rule number 16: entering the apartment is strictly forbidden for every contestant except Miljana Kulic, and anyone who breaks that ban will be punished.
All 55 contestants were gathered that evening at the black table, where a letter from the Big Boss was read to them. Telegraf reports that host Milan Milosevic read out the rules, while Kurir credits the reading to the Big Boss himself. Whoever actually stood at the table, the message was the same, and according to both outlets the tension inside Bela kuca was felt immediately.
Among other things, the rulebook states:
In Elita you are enclosed within walls, and any departure from the enclosed area is punished.
The bans do not stop at leaving the enclosed space. Under the rules, microphones stay on at all times except when contestants lie down to sleep, and switching them off or removing them during the day is punished. Talking to security staff is banned outright, and physically confronting them carries a steeper price: the loss of three months’ fee.
In Elita, communication is allowed only through speech. Whispering, sign language, and passing notes are forbidden.
This item, the rulebook says, applies without exception, since any other way of coordinating among contestants counts as a violation.
Daytime sleeping is also strictly forbidden for all Elita competitors, while the production allows the Odabrani (the Chosen) to lie down until noon.
Sleeping during the day is strictly forbidden.
The beds in Bela kuca get the same treatment: no one is allowed to move them.
Moving the beds is strictly forbidden, as they are fixed in place.
Swimming in the lake is banned without the production’s explicit permission, and here too the rulebook leaves no room for interpretation.
Swimming in the lake is strictly forbidden except when the Big Boss allows it.
Still, the rule that caught contestants’ attention the most is the one about the apartment.
Entering the apartment is strictly forbidden for all contestants except Miljana Kulic.
Under the rulebook, Miljana Kulic is the only one allowed to use that room, and any other contestant who steps inside is automatically punished. The rules do not specify what the punishment is in this particular case, unlike other violations where the penalty is explicitly tied to a contestant’s fee.
Beyond the bans that apply to everyone, the rulebook also draws a line between Elita and the Odabrani, the group of contestants with extra privileges. The Odabrani get priority access to the shop and the beauty salon, free coffee and cleaning supplies, and 500 dinars for every party. Elita has to earn those same perks, including the tokens needed for washing and drying laundry.
Destroying inventory, furniture, or equipment in the houses is also strictly banned, with the production alone deciding the size of the penalty, usually deducted from a contestant’s fee. The same applies to writing on walls and facades, and to moving items from one house to another.
As we reported, Elita 10 opened with a show in which Mitrovic lit the flame at 9:18 p.m., and the first rules letter arrived only the following day. For the production, that is standard procedure: the rulebook is read early, before anyone has a chance to commit the first violation.
