User blog comment:BradP27/Why RR was the Best Season Since the Original TDI--if not better/@comment-4516085-20151016183715

I too disagree with the Nemma part. If they wanted to loosen Emma up, why would they pair her with someone JUST like her. It's exactly why Zoke doesn't work. There is no contrast. I will give you two examples:

Jasmine and Shawn are both survivalists, which makes them click, but their contrast is Shawn's constant paranoia.

Gidgette, another well known pair, their contrast is Geoff's irresponsibility.

Contrast is what makes romances interesting. Nemma while not being the same characters, have little to no contrast, which not only makes it dull, they didn't even do anything good with it. I don't even understand their love story at all. Especially when it starts off with Noah being physically attracted to someone... which is something that has NEVER popped up? Not only that, the conflict in the relationship is also very boring so... Emma can't date him cause she won't win? Uh?

Plus it makes Emma's character weaker. We know that she was being pushy cause she was broken up with... so she can't find happiness for herself? She needs a man to do it? Nemma was just boring, and it made Emma and Noah not as good characters.
