I totally agree with you. Nadia is an amazing person.
I've been really surprised by what people have written about her.
What's impressive, obviously, is that she never made decisions based on what would make her popular but always went with her heart. Many of the others were constantly trying to gauge who was the most popular with the crowd and how they would be perceived but Nadia never wavered or doubted what her heart was telling her.
She was definitely one of the most intelligent housemates. I laughed out loud at some of the other housemates, such as poor Kav, angrily using the term 'left-wing' as some kind of derogatory put-down. They'd heard it from Hopkins who herself appeared to think left-wing meant two-faced. This was hilarious. There were so few housemates in there, I imagine, who could hold an in-depth discussion about subjects, concepts and ideas beyond anything that related to themselves or their immediate environment. I suspect this was one of the many reasons why she got along so well with Perez.
Nadia had the highest level of psychological mindedness too. This made her exit interview the most interesting because she was able to describe her experience as both an observer and the experiencer. I only watched it quite recently and I'm still intrigued by what she said.
She's just an all-around, smart, beautiful and lovely person, really.
