I never sensed any attraction on her part, so perhaps the challenge for her was wresting him from Jess.
BIB1 She may not have pretended to be in love with him, but she certainly pretended to Josh that she fancied him, when it was apparent to we viewers that she didn't.
BIB2 I disagree that 'Max will PROBABLY dump Jess for Naomi'. Max has shown himself to be an astute guy and he can 'PROBABLY' see that Naomi is not the nice everyday girl she first portrayed herself as when she was being interviewed by Caroline. She is shallow and doesn't have any depth to herself nor her conversation.
Naomi is like the Queen in Snow White, she needs constant reassurance that she is the fairest in the land, perhaps a hangover from her schooldays, when she wasn't.”
I think what we have is a bunch of people trying their best to work with what they have got. I don't think Jess is any more into Max than Naomi was into josh, but its a game of musical chairs and if the guys pick Naomi over Jess so be it .
