User blog comment:SC Heerenveen/Why Noah is no longer my favourite total drama character/@comment-4726418-20180531190855

The reason I actually didn't mind Noah in TDI was that when the series first started he was this pathetic loser with an inflated ego making fun of people for problems he himself was guilty of. If they stuck with that aspect of him the whole time then i would probably agree with the opinion of him being one of the show's funniest characters. Unfortunately, Noah learned from his mistakes and was more logical with who he made sarcastic jokes about. This puts him in a bad position, because it puts him in competition with so many other snarky characters like Duncan, Heather, Courtney, Gwen, Leshawna, Harold, etc. And objectively speaking, all those characters have stuff to them other than being snarky so therefore just offer much more to the table than he does (and this isn't even counting the amount of characters from other generations...). And he's so inconsistent, especially in his divisive performance in RR. Am I meant to be supportive of his unhealthy clinginess to Emma? Well hardly, because otherwise why make it uncomfortable for Kitty and Owen to be around? Does that mean we're meant to feel uncomfortable by his romance? Well no because otherwise why make it a full fledged storyline?

And speaking of unhealthy, holy crap do I hate Nemma! Two emotionally insecure parasites leeching off of romance with each other sounds like a great idea on paper, but not only was that already done much better with Gidgette, but also it's made out to be a genuine romance we're meant to root for. Why?? At least with other clingy couples like Gidgette and hell, even Mike and Zoey, are examples of couples that actually overcome their problems and at least give you  reason to want them to get through their issues. All of Nemma's issues are literally issues with eachother so how am I meant to sympathise with them then?

And for that matter why should I root for Noah? He never does anything especially nice to anyone, he frequently insults his so-called best friend Owen for allegedly being useless despite Noah being the one who tended to slow them down, he never compliments anyone, he has an annoying ego, he has an unexplained obsession with Emma and even reveals after being eliminated that dating a lawyer means he never has to work again. A tragic mess and far from deserving popularity.
