Nemma

Nemma is the het ship between Noah and Emma from the Total Drama fandom.

Canon
Noah and Emma get to know each other by participating in a reality show that includes races around the world. Noah notices Emma for the first time during a stop in Transylvania. As Emma completes the final challenge, performing a deft gymnastic maneuver, Noah watches her and is immediately captivated by her grace. He continues to stare at her, and he is so enthralled that he does not break even when his friend Owen falls on him. It must be said that Owen is big and heavy, and therefore the friend takes a good blow, but Noah's attention is completely absorbed by Emma.

Noah spends most of the next episode staring spellbound at Emma completely unaware of his feelings for her. Whenever Emma talks to him, Noah just keeps staring at her. Due to his love, Noah softens and even goes so far as to help one of his opponents Mickey in the challenge, a very unusual behavior for him, so much so that his friend Owen fears that he is ill. Kitty, Emma's sister, realizes what's going on and explains it to Owen.

On the plane, Owen asks Noah if he would like to sit on the window seat, but he refuses because the aisle-side seats are closer to Emma. At the same time, Kitty proposes to her sister to form an alliance with Owen and Noha, although Emma rejects the idea and adds that she doesn't like Noah's sarcastic attitude

Afterward, Emma and Noah start chatting, and their respective teammates (both people who know them well) see their similarities and decide to try to put them together.

The two teams choose to compete in the same challenge, which consists of cleaning the windows of a skyscraper. Due to an accident caused by the competitors competing in the other challenge Emma falls, and Noah saves her. After helping her and her sister in the challenge and allowing them to reach the top spot, Emma begins to see Noah in a good light and agrees to make the alliance between their teams, not realizing that she too is starting to develop feelings for him. Although they are now allies, Emma still doesn't trust Owen and Noah, but is tricked by Kitty into admitting that she likes Noah. Despite this, Emma chooses to focus on the race and tries to ignore the attraction to the Indian.

During the episode, Noah finds it difficult to start a conversation with Emma and ends up embarrassing himself for saying the wrong things. To impress her, he tries to behave similarly to her by adopting her bossy attitude. However, this only leads her to think he is mean to Owen. Noah still helps Emma in the challenge, injuring his hand. After reaching the great wall, finish line of the race, Emma tries to relieve Noah's pain by massaging his swollen hand, and although she only gets to hurt him excruciatingly, he asks her to continue, a sign that he is very happy to have some cuddles by the girl. Noah would be ready to leave another time for Emma and Kitty to get the highest position in the standings (an advantage in the race, because we are leaving for the next stage in the order of arrival at the previous one), but Emma wants them to be Noah and Owen to get this advantage. Considering the girl's competitiveness, this is a great sign of love.

During the episode, Kitty urges Emma to tell Noah that she likes him. At the beginning of the episode, although he and Owen the spa hotel first, Noah insists that before entering and starting the challenge they wait for the sisters so that they can share a sauna, despite this Owen fears risks ending them last place and eliminate from the competition. In the sauna, Noah attempts to strike up a conversation with Emma but fails due to

Fanon
The ship sailed as a result of Emma and Noah's canon mutual attraction to each other. It became one of the biggest base-breaking ships among the Total Drama fandom.

Plenty of Noah's fans were happy to see him finally get a major role in a season and have his own romantic plot. They also enjoyed that he got a girlfriend who had a similar personality to him. On the other hand, the ship also got a lot of haters. One of the reasons was that it ruined a headcanon of a lot of fans of Noah being gay, mostly as a result of NoCo and Nowen, which are also the biggest rival ships to this one. Those fans also believed that the romantic plot ruined Noah's sarcastic personality.

There's also a third side of fans who like the ship, but agree that it had its flaws and could've been written better. The main reasons for that (which they also share with the ship's haters) are that both Emma and Noah inconsistent throughout the episodes. Fans were excited to see Noah move on from Emma and Emma be the one to be attracted to him at the end of the eleventh episode, only for their relationship to come back to the status quo the next time they interact. They also agree with the haters that the two, especially Emma, became too clingy, with the most jarring example being the fifteenth episode. Another common complain is that the plot never received its proper conclusion due to the version of the finale where the Sisters were included being scrapped. As a result, despite their mutual attraction, Emma tells Noah during his elimination that she'll date him only if her team wins, an idea which is later abandoned. After her team's elimination, she says she'll call Noah and the two are seen smiling next to each other in the finale, which is considered not to be enough to confirm that the two are dating, but enough to assume that Emma isn't going to keep her word of not dating Noah if she loses.
