Unfortunately, that can be an acceptable reason, putting all rationality aside, and focusing on the aim of the show itself.

Carly is the main character, so they want to put her in the spotlight.

Therefore, they put her crushes as the priority.

BUT his doesn't usually roll for Nick shows. It's a new formula for Nick, so we'll just have to see. It seems to be anyone's game for me - but when Freddie said "y'know, when girl rip on guys, it usually means they have a crush on them", I figured they might be hinting at Seddie.

However, I still think Creddie has a chance... Freddie is very young, awkward looking, and obssesive, which is probably why Carly is turned off to him. As someone else mentioned, this might be a development thing.

I saw Nathan Kress on the 'taking over Nick' thing, and yowza! That boy GREW! He shot up, his voice dropped, and he's actually getting pretty cute. lol.

As the show progresses, and Freddie continues to get better looking, and grow out of his crush on her, Carly may later on find that she likes him back - it may be a development thing for her too.

What I'd LOVE to see is some Creddie angst... Freddie could finally stop being overtly obsessive and consider liking Sam. Carly would find that she's jealous, and he could use the "you had your chance" thing on her. And then they could kiss and live happily ever after ^_^

But, I dunno, it seems to be anyone's game right now . *shrugs*

I'm really still kind of on the fence for pairings of this show (a little more partial to Creddie)... Jeez, it's so much easier to ship a couple when the actors are grown and hot xD

And I think I started leaning more towards Creddie when Carly pinned him to the ground. And when Freddie set up that security system in his locker because someone stole his fruit scented markers... I was like "awww" when Carly handed them to him. Dunno why, but I thought that was cute - and she knows his locker combo. I thought that was cute ^_^

Let's not get too defensive here. I did say I was mostly a Creddie shipper, didn't I? ^_^

Well, why not? If you look at the bigger picture, TV and the media does buy into stuff like 'love hate relationships'. It looked like that's what they writers were going for when they made Freddie and Sam go at each others throats as they do now. And that comment from Freddie as well ("when girls rip on guys...") also has shown us the thought of Sam liking HIM has crossed his mind. He's thought about it. And even without that, the idea of them isn't too farfetched. Again, we're looking at the dynamics of the love-hate relationship (which I hate.) And that scenerio I said was just a thought that I might like to see play out. I mean, if how I pictured it happened (which probably won't happen), what's the big deal? It'd still end in Creddie anyways. *shrugs*

Okay, you've said it before, I get that.

But again, you have to look at the bigger picture, AND consider all factors - as I said before.

This is a children's/teen sitcom. It's not likely they'll take in depth college-level psychoanalysis into consideration when deciding to romantically pair two of these kids off.

Right :nods: I was just sayin', you can't rely fully on psychological analysis for this type of show.... it just seemed like you relied solely on that than anything else.

Right now, I too am pretty open minded about the pairings of this show. It seems to me the writers structured Creddie's and Seddie's relationships so they could go either way... him being obsessed with Carly, and Seddie having the possibility of the love-hate relationship. I also agree.... it's anyone's game from here.
