Attempts

Here's a description of the contestants' attempts. Someone's probably working on collecting some images to add later!

  • The boys name their soap opera 'Krv Nije Voda' ('Blood is Thicker Than Water'). Enio is cleaning out his pool when his son Ante arrives with his lover, Igor, and reveals that he is gay. Not only that, but Igor is actually Enio's father! The shock causes Enio to faint and fall into the pool. Igor rescues Enio and attempts to revive him – Enio's fate is unknown, as the episode ends. Ivan awards both teams joint first place.
  • The girls name their soap opera 'Maldita Karlita' ('Damn Karlita'), and really play into a few soap opera tropes: dramatic music and camera zooms, and constant hair-flipping. Marija Paula (Lidija) is cleaning out the pool when her mother Karlita (Ana) arrives. The two have a conversation over coffee about how Karlita abandoned Marija Paula as a baby, and only now has come back into her life to ask her to pay for breast implants. When Marija Paula appears to thaw towards her mother, her gun-toting boyfriend Juan Ante (Luka) appears. Karlita is shocked, as Juan Ante is actually Marija Paula's long-lost brother! Ivan awards both teams joint first place.
