Elite 9 reality show scandal involving Sofija Janićijević and Danet

Sofija Janićijević, a contestant on the Serbian reality series Elite 9, admitted she deliberately manipulated messages and pursued a relationship with 70‑year‑old Danet to obtain his property and financial support. A video of the pair kissing was broadcast six days before the finale, shocking fellow participants, including Terzic, who expressed disappointment.

Other developments in the same season included Maja Marinković winning a voting game that doubled her audience support, only to be eliminated shortly thereafter, while Sandra Todić exited the competition. Mina Vrbaški, returning after a long hiatus, said her primary goal was to win the prize money for her family and reach the super‑final.

Producer Milan Milošević later hinted at possible finalists for the upcoming super‑final on 20 July, naming several contestants as favorites and acknowledging ongoing controversies within the show.
