Emma was a Total Drama Presents: The Ridonculous Race contestant as a member of The Sisters with Kitty.
Personality[]
Emma is the opposite of her younger sister Kitty in almost every way; she is an anti-nonsense, highly motivated law student, and she takes the competition very seriously. After being dumped by her ex-boyfriend Jake, Emma finds it hard to trust anyone and refuses to form alliances with any teams, even if said teams are among the nicest of people or aren't the kind who would betray others. She sees her sister as a liability to her throughout the race and does not let Kitty participate in challenges first, even if Kitty is successful. Being a competitive freak, Emma denies her faults and blames her sister or anyone else on several occasions for any mistake she makes. As the race progresses, however, and after she experiences new love, Emma realizes that winning isn't everything, starts to cherish her sister's effort, and warms up to the other teams. Though she tends to be more level-headed than her sister, Emma acts differently when it comes to her love life, showing signs of obsession as she begins to think of how she and her partner would spend their future together, which, according to Kitty, is the reason why Jake broke up with her.
Total Drama Presents: The Ridonculous Race[]
Emma gets impatient with Kitty during the "Scare."
Emma is introduced with her sister Kitty in None Down, Eighteen to Go—Part 1, with Emma trying to make sure Kitty has her head in the game. During their first interview, Emma says she's here to win and doesn't want any distractions during the race. During the "Truth or Scare challenge," the sisters decide to go with Scare, but when Kitty starts taking selfies along the way, Emma loses patience and tells Kitty to focus on the game. In the end, they board the second plane to Morocco.
Emma continues to berate her sister in None Down, Eighteen to Go—Part 2, where Emma forbids Kitty from helping her during the spice-gathering contest because she thinks her sister will mess up. However, when Emma downs her stew, she discovers that some of the spices they had picked out were wrong. Emma is scolded by Kitty for being the one to pick out all the spices, but Emma just stares at her because she still thinks she would have done worse. They finish eleventh in the episode, which upsets Emma, so she tells her sister to start doing more. Kitty says she would love to do better, but an angry Emma says she will tell her when she can do more.
Emma is not impressed by Kitty's caricature of her.
In French is an Eiffel Language, during the caricature drawing challenge, Kitty asks Emma about her dating life, which Emma dismisses by saying she needs to focus on winning the game and getting her law degree. It turns out she had a boyfriend named Jake who broke up with her. They manage to place tenth in the race after navigating the catacombs and rowing their cheese raft to the finish line.
The Sisters do well in Mediterranean Homesick Blues, as Emma is able to get a clue from the shark dorsal fins, and they successfully build a sandcastle. In Bjorken Telephone, however, Kitty's habit of taking selfies starts to get on Emma's nerves. Even though they are the first team to solve the Icelandic sentence task, Emma still insists that Kitty is not trying to help at all. While Kitty takes even more selfies in the ice caves, Emma gets a fossil and pushes it all the way to the Chill Zone all by herself, putting them in tenth place.
In Brazilian Pain Forest, Emma disagrees with Kitty forming an alliance with Jay and Mickey because of her self-imposed "no alliance" rule. Kitty reveals that the real reason for Emma's behavior is that she was abandoned by her boyfriend back home. Eventually, Emma allows a trial alliance with the Adversity Twins, but it ends abruptly when they crash into each other during the hang-gliding part of the challenge, making Emma end the alliance, with Kitty. The Sisters and the twins tie for seventh after crash-landing together in the Chill Zone.
Emma is terrified in Dracula's castle in A Tisket, a Casket, I'm Gonna Blow a Gasket. While Kitty is willing to team up with Brody and Geoff, Emma is not, and she tells them to leave. After Kitty pushes Emma into an open grave for the challenge, Emma performs admirably in the gymnastics portion and wins the affection of Noah.
In Hawaiian Honeyruin, on the way to Hawaii, Kitty is playing charades with Owen to pass the time. After Owen fails to guess Kitty's miming, Emma cuts in and states it's a camera and is annoyed that Owen couldn't get it. Emma then asks Noah how he puts up with him, only to be stared at lovingly. In the Botch or Watch, Emma gave Kitty a "push of encouragement" into the water to find the wedding ring, telling her to think of their grandparents' place but with fewer old people. In the coal running challenge, Emma is carried by Kitty over the hot coals, where she sees Noah staring at her lovingly while being carried by Owen.
Noah saves Emma from falling.
In Hello and Dubai, Kitty proposes to Emma that they work with Noah and Owen. Emma ends up bumping into Noah, which leads to them having a conversation together. They decide to do the squeegee challenge, but Emma slips up in a private interview, saying "Noah distractions," and ends up hanging when their lift malfunctions. She is saved by Noah after a tennis machine incident, and the group decides to use Owen as the squeegee after forming an official alliance. Noah lets Emma and Kitty finish first in this leg to show good will.
Emma and Noah begin to warm up to each other in New Beijinging. The pair dive with their respective partners in the stadium in two tries after being blown away by the wind in their first attempt.

Emma and Kitty catch up with the Pros in I Love Ridonc & Roll and do the sauna challenge together. After Owen freezes himself in the chilly waters, Noah suggests that Emma rides Owen to the other side, a suggestion that she follows. The sisters finish seventh, but Noah and Owen are still behind due to Noah struggling to perform. Seeing that Mickey has regained his confidence, Emma turns his phobias of germs against him and allows Noah to put on a good performance after Owen pep talks him. After Noah's performance, she realizes that she took Noah for granted and accepts her feelings for him.
In My Way or Zimbabwe, Emma and her sister take the pictures and complete the challenges, getting fifth place.

When the Sisters and the Pros are running in the beginning up the hill, she and Noah have a moment, and they almost kiss each other, but the Surfers Dudes interrupt them. Taking the third train, Emma starts to talk about an alliance with the Pros and her future with Noah. A slightly annoyed Kitty tries to keep Emma focused on the game while she is constantly distracted by Noah. When their train arrives at the destination at the Either/Or challenge, Emma is undecided about choosing the "Jump Down" or the "Jump Around." However, the fourth train arrives, which forces Kitty to just compromise by bungee jumping. Before jumping down, Emma and Noah have another moment, and they almost kiss each other again, but Kitty tells her to jump, interrupting them again. During the ride to the Chill Zone, Kitty gives her sister a pep talk about her obsession with Noah. She realizes her mistake and promises to keep her focus on the game from now on.

In Little Bull on the Prairie, Emma refuses to wait for the Reality TV Pros and forces her sister Kitty into their taxi. They get on the second flight with the Pros and Father and Son. Kitty's a bit worried about Emma's decision in the previous episode, but Emma reminds Kitty that love makes her a living nightmare. When they arrive at the ranch during the All In, Emma is worried and feels guilty about Noah's state of shock. She and her sister arrive in sixth place, and when the Pros come to the Chill Zone, Emma comes over and apologizes to Noah, snapping him out of his depressed state. She proceeds to say that she still has feelings for him and wants to be together, but she can't focus on romance during the competition. She says they would be a couple, but only if she wins the race.
Following up in Lord of the Ring Toss, Emma must throw the rings in the Botch or Watch. Successively in the All In, she's seen with Kitty building their igloo.

In the "Either/Or," the Sisters choose the buggy challenge. Emma has a rocky ride that makes her vomit several times due to Kitty's conflict with MacArthur. Eventually, the Sisters complete the challenge and get fourth place. In El Bunny Supremo, Emma jumps from the middle ledge of the cliff since Kitty eats the medium pepper.

Emma isn't delighted to be working with the other teams.
In Ca-Noodling, the Sisters join the second Superteam, along with the Surfers Dudes and the Best Friends. Emma thinks that working with them will be hard and hopes that the other teams will do badly. Even if,at the end of the challenge, their catfish got eaten by an alligator, the Superteam gets them all back thanks to Brody. In the next challenge, she and Kitty talk about the Superteam alliance, but then Emma falls into a trap while traveling the tunnels, and Kitty tries to take her up. In the end, Brody saves her life. The Sisters finish fourth in the end and seem reluctant to split the money with the Surfers when they get eliminated. In How Deep is Your Love, Emma convinces a reluctant Kitty to make sure that the Axis of Evil targets the Best Friends instead of them since she thinks that they will betray her and her sister.

In the end, they come in fourth place for the round.
The Sisters come in first for the second time.
In Darjeel With It, the Sisters are sabotaged by the Ice Dancers, deceiving them by pretending to want to sabotage the Daters with them, whom they promptly refused, slowing them down during the challenge. They manage to take the fourth train wagon and pass on the train roof to get to the first wagon, successively with the Best Friends. When Jacques and Josee separate the first wagon of the train from the other wagons, the Sisters, Carrie and Devin manage to jump on the roof of the first train car before it wanders too far, but the Police Cadets think that the Best Friends are the ones that separated the train, and MacArthur tells them that they are their worst enemies now, making Carrie depressed, adding to Devin's inability of expressing his love for her. When Devin reveals his feelings for Carrie at the Sisters, Emma furiously tells him about Carrie's love and swears at him to reveal it already, calling him a 'turkey'. She and Kitty also place first in the round, thanks to the Ice Dancers penalty.
In Last Tango in Buenos Aires, Emma and Kitty declare they used to dance a lot when they were younger. Despite this, they still have problems with the challenge. They are the second team to finish the challenge. When they arrive at the destination, Emma notes something wrong with her team's emu, and immediately she suspects that the Ice Dancers are cheating again. Later, when Kitty falls down the mountain with her emu, Emma follows her, concerned. When she finds Kitty, she hugs her, which surprises her sister. Then, she helps Kitty capture their emu, and when they get to Mt. Aconcagua, they run to the Chill Zone to avoid being last. Unfortunately, they are beaten by the Best Friends, after which Emma accidentally falls. In addition, as a result of the Ice Dancers' sabotage, her sister is unable to stop her emu from running, and the animal ends up pushing Devin off the cliff, injuring him and resulting in his and Carrie's removal. Kitty feels incredibly guilty about it, even with Emma trying to cheer her up. They are safe in this episode, as it is a non-elimination round.
Kitty and Emma embrace after their elimination.
During the interview, Emma says that she can't believe that they're still competing in Bahamarama, but her sister still feels guilty, after trying to console her. She says that they're sorry for Devin's injuries. During the first challenge, Emma and Kitty are the last to arrive at the museum but the first to exit and arrive at the beach. Emma makes the Watch of the "Botch or Watch," so she takes the walkie-talkie and remains on the surface. During the challenge, she supports Kitty, saying that she's the strongest girl that she has ever seen. She's worried when her sister gets stuck between two rocks. When Kitty saves herself, Emma feels relieved and runs with Kitty to the Chill Zone. They are the last team to arrive and are eliminated, but Emma's still proud of Kitty for all of her work during the race, and the two hug together. Emma also states that she would rather have her sister over a million bucks any day and that she was now going to call Noah.
