Overview
- In the televised finale, a promised pact was broken when one contestant chose the gold coin over a teammate’s chance at the final, prompting accusations of betrayal.
- Shortly after acknowledging his action on camera, that contestant announced he had made a serious mistake and then voluntarily left the villa and said he will step away from reality TV.
- Final places and the ultimate winner were determined by the remaining finalists, who each held two votes and could buy extra votes with money won in an earlier wind‑chamber challenge.
- Contestants’ purchases of luxuries over the season reduced the original €250,000 pot to roughly €14,080 by the final, leaving only a modest prize to be awarded.
- A relative newcomer to reality TV won the season by securing decisive votes from other finalists, and she later said the small prize would be given to an animal charity on Mallorca.
