The total votes is the number of votes a castaway has received during Tribal Councils where the castaway is eligible to be voted out of the game. It does not include the votes received during the final Tribal Council.

^1 Two players were eliminated in a tribal selection process. The contestants are told that there were twenty immunity necklaces on the beach; the last two contestants without a necklace would be in danger. Miodrag and Slobodanka were the last contestants, but they had a second chance. The last immunity necklace was in the sea, forcing them to swim for it. They had the opportunity to choose one contestant who would swim instead of them. Slobodanka chose Ognjen, but Miodrag wanted to swim alone. Ognjen won and Miodrag was the first eliminated castaway.

^2 On day 2, the castaways were told they would divide into two tribes of ten members each (five men and five women). Because there were 11 women, one of them would not be chosen, and she would be the second person eliminated. Slobodanka and Tamara were the last unchosen contestants, so Petar had to choose one of them. He chose Tamara, so Slobodanka was the second eliminated castaway.

^3 On day 23, Roca and Armada had the opportunity to choose one woman from the other tribe; Roca chose Edita, and Armada chose Maja. On day 26 Maja and Edita had the opportunity to return to their first tribe. Maja returned to Roca, and Edita returned to Armada.

^4 Vanja M. experienced an attack of malaria during the last tribal council and she had to leave the game.

^5 Because Vanja R. played the hidden immunity idol, two votes against her did not count.

Voting history

Tribal Council (TC) numbers are almost the same as Cycle numbers as a Tribal Council occurs at the end of each cycle; eliminations that happen outside of a Tribal Council do not bear a Tribal Council number, but count towards a cycle. Episode numbers denote the episode(s) when the voting and subsequent revelation of votes and elimination during a Tribal Council took place. They can also denote the episode wherein a contestant officially left the game for any reason.

^1 Miodrag was eliminated in a tribal selection process. He lost in the challenge for last immunity necklace, so there wasn't a vote.

^2 Slobodanka was eliminated irregularly, outside of a Tribal Council. She was not chosen to join any of the new tribes, and thus she was eliminated.

^3 Vanja M. was evacuated for medical reasons, and therefore no vote occurred for her removal from the game.

^4 Maja was voted out on day 38, but because Vanja M. left due to illness, the life (torch) of Vanja M. went to Maja.

^5 Maja was voted out in the last Tribal Council, but she had a second chance and as a punishment Maja received an extra vote.

^6 Hana decided to not vote in the Tribal Council, and as a punishment she received an extra vote.

^7 The public was allowed to award a jury vote to one of the finalists. The public gave one vote for Nemanja P.

Controversy

Before it even started airing, the show aroused some controversy when certain press outlets in Serbia discovered that one of the contestants, 22-year-old Slobodanka "Boba" Tošić, was accused of being an accessory in the attempted murder of gangster Đorđe Ždrale, her ex-boyfriend, that took place on April 13, 2006 in East Sarajevo. Furthermore, information surfaced that there was an arrest warrant issued for her by the Republika Srpska police, which was the reason she moved to Serbia. Her arrest warrant has a central character (as opposed to the worldwide Interpol one), meaning that it is only in effect on the territory of Republika Srpska. The show's producers did not comment on the situation and she was allowed to remain on the show. ^[6]

She added to the controversy by doing a spread for the Serbian edition of Playboy , which was included in the issue that coincided with the show's launch. ^{[7] [8]}

During the live broadcast of the finale, only ten minutes before the winner was announced, Radoslav Vidojević accused fellow finalist Nemanja Pavlov of buying votes from four members of the Tribal Council. Pavlov was announced as the winner regardless, and the following day it was announced that the producers were suing Vidojević for slander.
