Emma and Noah

This article focuses on the interactions between Emma and Noah.

Overview
From the moment Noah first laid eyes on Emma, he instantly fell in love with her. Having spent most of his life being cold and unsociable, this experience is new to him and he has difficulty trying to impress Emma. At first Emma is oblivious to Noah's attraction, but after conversing with him and seeing their similarities, she also starts to develop feelings; however, she still remains opposed due to wanting to focus on the competition. Eventually, Noah saves her from falling, which finally lets Emma see Noah in a new light. Afterwards they agree to form an alliance between their teams, which Kitty and Owen secretly organized. Although the two become closer, even to the point of sharing their first kiss, Emma realizes that having a relationship with Noah will distract her from winning the Race and promptly end things with him. This sudden news of rejection puts Noah into a state of shock until Emma reconsider their relationship only when she wins. When the Reality TV Pros were eliminated, Emma bids Noah goodbye and kisses him for the first time. With Noah's departure, Emma would go off into "Noah-dazes" and have Kitty to slap her so she remains focused. Once the Sisters are also eliminated, Emma is reunited with Noah in the finale and watch the final outcome of the Race together.
