User blog comment:GWEN+TRENT FOREVER/Why I view Noah as a failed character/@comment-26910203-20160308043229

While I agree to an extent that Noah was "meh" in RR (To an extent because I feel the way he acted around girls was kind of justified and kind of an in character, he's book smart and crafty so it kind of makes sense that he hilariously had trouble with girls and it is kind of ironic in a way that THAT is what hinders Noah throughout the season, this is more telling when it is obvious he has never had a girlfriend before). But yeah, this Noah was kind of all over the place as you said. On another note, the Father/Son team was one of my faves during the season but...I mean their story ended fine in Little Bull, they came to respect and understand one another so it wasn't really necessary for them to continue.

Disagree about World Tour Noah though that might be due to personal preference/reasons. He had the most memorable one-liners of the whole season IMO aside from Heather, so the little bit he did speak left an impact. I'd rather we have that than the screenhogger that was Duncan in Action (being there without really contributing). Also, I found the early episodes of WT to be some of the most balanced character wise of the entire show, no one really shone by themselves in the first few episodes (with the exception of Am-AH-Zon Race) because everybody did something. I mean, even Ezekiel had multiple lines (for his short time there).

And he did serve his purpose, Noah is the "voice of reason" on his team up until his elimination, Alejandro being the leader does not take that away from him. I don't think Noah was ever meant to be the team leader this season, he played the game and he played the game well. I mean let's look at the other people on the team, there is Izzy who is crazy, Tyler who is dumb and Owen who is easily manipulated...and Alejandro who can't be trusted. Noah is the "anti-Alejandro" and while I wish the wrtiers did play with this theme more it is a big part of not only I See London but Slap Slap Revolution as well. He displays bursts of quick thinking that essentially save his team in the Yukon, Jamaica and London...unfortunately the writers had no way of keeping Noah in without him revealing Alejandro to everyone so I guess they just eliminated him. Note that after his departure however the team basically goes to s***.

The only episodes I'd say that Noah really didn't do anything are Broadway,Baby! and Newf Kids on the Rock
