26 questions with Naz Khanjani

Nazanin Khanjani is a role model for all women. / Kate Dwek for Scout

1. You are clearly unique. What do you think makes you stand out in Jordan's eyes?

I'm a realist who speaks her mind and isn't afraid of judgment. I'm so confident in myself as a person and have never lived my life to try and impress others. That's one thing that definitely stood out from the rest! But also because I'm Persian and have that exotic look! That also played a part in standing out.

Nazanin Khanjani is in the final three. / Scout

2. Do you regret any of your decisions on the show? e.g. the hit-list, telling on Anna, hiding the rose.
I don't regret telling Jordan about Anna. She clearly wasn't there for the right reasons and still today, I'll stand by my word. As for the hit list, though, I do regret that and wish I'd put my trust more in Jordan to make the right decisions without getting myself so involved. But it's just who I am, I guess, I like to protect the ones I care for.3. What have you learned about love on the show?
How strong the feeling is. That no matter how tough the situation may be, you will fight for it!

4. What did you learn about yourself?
I'm a lot stronger than I thought I was.

Everyone was pretty good at not snoring.
