I completely disagree that Jennette's criteria for favourite episodes includes that the episodes are anti-Seddie. These are all episodes that require something really different or extra work from her.

iTwins: She has to play Sam and Melanie. This is obvious, right?

iPie: Sam has to be underhanded, selfish, helpful, dumb, and technologically savvy while being within character the entire episode. This would have been fun for her.

iApril Fools: She got to play Sam as the other characters (and DS, for that matter) remember earlier seasons. I imagine her there are subtleties in her performance that one can detect if you look.

iOpen a Restaurant: After iOMG and iLove You, this would be an episode that demands the most out of her acting abilities. In particular, the scene where Fred-D.B. out-and-out lies to Sam about his crush on Carly might be the best Jennette has ever acted. The look on Jennettes face shows a myriad of emotions is awesome because of how expressive it is - I come up with betrayal (she was trying to change for Fred-DB while he wasn't trying to adapt to her), anger (Freddie lied to her), sadness (she may have lost him), hurt (unrequited feelings linger), frustration (Carly got the guy again), disbelief (he apparently settled for Sam and was marking time for Carly), self-doubt (is she ever going to get a nice guy again?), and hopelessness (why her?). THAT is a challenge. And then she has to contain it all when Gibby speaks with her - and then she keeps on her path by repudiating that old acquaintance of hers anyway.

If I were her and I WANTED Seddie, I would still like iOaR because that one was the most interesting. And probably iPear Store and iGet Banned, which are also very anti-Seddie. (Funny thing is - in all of these, it is crystal clear that she as an actress believes that Sam is still burning a candle in Fred-DB's window.  Given that I assume that DS always wanted Creddie, I am flabbergasted that he would taunt a majority of his fan base so callously.)
