The game

Cycles in this article refer to the three-day periods in the game, composed of at least the Immunity Challenge and the subsequent Tribal Council.
Through cycle 1 to 11 the winner of challenge had the opportunity to choose "Double Vote" or "Black Vote", and at cycle 12 the challenge was "Place in the Final" where the remaining castaways compete in three final challenges for a place in the final.
Tribal chiefs are leaders of his tribes. They are voted from the rest of the tribal members and they have Individual Immunity during Tribal Council. Every cycle tribes choose another Tribal chief and one member can't be chief two times in a row.
In a new twist, every eliminated castaway had the opportunity to throw a curse on one member of his former tribe. Before s/he went on Island of Dropped, s/he will vote for one member and that vote will count during the next Tribal Council.
Radovan chose to go into exile, so one vote would be against him on the next Tribal Council.
Because Milan played the Hidden Immunity Idol, five votes against him did not count.
Aleks won a Special Immunity and she can't be voted out until second to last Tribal Council, but until then she must win in one Immunity challenge and one Special challenge and she will be the first finalist. She won only one Special challenge and no Immunity, so she failed.
Marko won the last challenge on Island of Dropped, so he is back in merge tribe, but he must to choose one eliminated player to join him in new tribe; Marko chose Neven, so merge tribe is complete.
Sebastijan gave his immunity to Nikola.

Voting history

Tribal Council numbers are almost the same as Cycle numbers, as a Tribal Council occurs at the end of each cycle; eliminations that happen outside a Tribal Council do not bear a Tribal Council number, but count towards a cycle. Episode numbers denote the episode 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.
Votes in brackets are an opportunity to eliminate a castaway to throw a curse on one member of his former tribe. That vote will count during the next Tribal Council.
This castaway could not vote at Tribal Council, because s/he had the "Black Vote necklace".
Because Aleks had Individual Immunity, this vote against her did not count.
This vote did not count because of the merge.
At 11th Tribal Council, the castaways voted out two persons, although they voted only one time.
Ava is a favorite of the audience, and thereby acquired the right of double vote.
