Vasilije Kuburovic wins one million dinars on Superpotera
The fifth-year medical student from Belgrade was the only contestant in his episode to beat all four Chasers, with four seconds left on his clock.
Vasilije Kuburovic (24), a fifth-year medical student from Belgrade, won 1,000,000 dinars on the quiz show Superpotera. In the episode covered here on Sunday, October 18, he was the only one of four contestants who managed to beat the Chasers.
How did a medical student beat four Chasers?
Kuburovic is 24, lives in Belgrade and is in his fifth year of medical school. Superpotera was his first appearance on any quiz show. Four contestants faced the four Chasers in that episode, and only he came out as the winner. The other three failed to beat them.
He did. In the final duel he defeated all four Chasers, with four seconds left on his clock. The host, Jovan Memedovic, asked the winner after the duel how it had all looked from his side.
Kuburovic answered in the Superpotera studio:
“My thoughts still haven’t caught up with me, I can’t process it yet, I just feel excitement and tension. It was very exciting.”
That is what contestant Vasilije Kuburovic said right after the win. He took home a million dinars on his first quiz appearance.
What did a family from Nis bring to the studio?
Before the fight for the money, the Antic family from Nis drew attention: father Dusan, mother Katarina and sons Luka and Vuk. All of them are big fans of Potera and Superpotera, and they showed it in an unusual way. They brought a model of the Superpotera studio that they had built themselves out of LEGO bricks. It had a contestant, the host and the Chasers, each in their place, just like in the real studio.
Luka, who is six, explained who is who. On the model, he said, were Milan, Milica, Zarko and Dusan, then Jovan Memedovic and a contestant. The host immediately noticed that one member of the Chasers team was missing, and joked:
“That’s for the period before we added our Aleksa to the game.”
Aleksa himself chimed in: “I’m the contestant! That’s the episode.”
Memedovic then asked the boy: “What will you be when you grow up, Luka?” Luka didn’t have to think. He answered: “A Chaser!” and the studio erupted in applause. He also revealed that his favorite Chaser is Zarko. After that introduction came a serious battle of knowledge and time, in which four contestants faced the Chasers.
